History:

• 11/20/2003, version 1.0.2

• Updated the tutorial (adding a new chapter) to reflect the addition of the "hangman2" application explaining how to use stylesheet and graphic assets including dynamic selection of graphical assets.
• No changes required in the source code.

• 11/15/2003, source code version 1.0.2

• Better Tutorial compatibility with Tomcat 4.0
• "Code Only" version of source code (much smaller download, no Eclipse integration)
• Slight change of wording describing the detach() method
• Inclusion of a few Tapestry jar files in the Eclipse workspace so I can provide significantly greater compatibility with systems that either don't have Spindle or have a different version of Spindle.

• Initial Release
