The Chenille Kit started life very early in the Tapestry 5 alpha cycle, with a simple name: Tapestry 5 Components (ort5c). Because of the radical changes that often occurred between alphas a versioning scheme evolved that indicated which alpha release it was compatible with. For example, Tapestry version 5.0.6 dictated a t5c version of0.5.6. Now that the project has taken on a more solid identity, the versions will reflect the only the evolution of itself and not be tied to Tapestry's.
Like Tapestry 5 (see New Numbering ), the Chenille Kit follows the versioning scheme as specified by the Apache Portable Runtime Project.
