Difference between versions of Report Viewer Control

Question

There are several versions of the Report Viewer Redistributable. If I'm reading things right, the versions do NOT correspond to a version of Reporting Services. Is this correct? They instead correspond to a version of the .net framework?

Is anyone holding a link to a comparison of versions (8, 9, and 10)? I've tried searching for the information, but just can't find the answer to this one.

Thanks in advance.
