The can Package
While CanJS is designed to be used and should be used
as independent packages, we still publish a can package
with a version number, currently 3.14.1.
We do this so there is a specified version of all of the
sub-project packages that are integration tested to work together.
The can package uses semantic versioning
with respect to the Core and Infrastructure collections
only. Read the Release Guide for more information on CanJS’s release process.
The sub-project package versions for can 3.14.1
are listed below. Copy the ones you use into your package.json
if you want to use the same packages that were tested as part of
CanJS 3.14.1’s release.
