The Microsoft Silverlight installer automatically downloads and installs the latest version available. Therefore, it could install a newer version of Silverlight than the one that was used to developed the Composite Application Guidance for WPF and Silverlight.
A newer version could introduce breaking changes that affect the library. At the time of this drop's realease, the version of Silverlight used is 2.0.31005.0.

Some items are still under construction and might change in future drops.
