UBF is a framework that permits Erlang and the outside world to talk
with each other. The documentation and the corresponding open-source
code repositories are based on Joe Armstrong’s original UBF site and
code with an MIT license file added to the distribution. Since then, a
large number of enhancements and improvements have been added.

What's New in UBF 2.0

- The syntax for UBF(b) has been modified to align closer (but not
  identical) with Erlang's native type and spec declarations defined
  by EEP8.  A subset of EEP8 types are now available as UBF(b) builtin
  types.

- The UBF(b) builtin types +proplist()+ and +string()+ have been
  renamed to +ubfproplist()+ and +ubfstring()+, respectively.

- An Erlang "header" file corresponding to each UBF(b) contract is
  automatically created in an application's ebin directory.  This file
  contains Erlang type, spec, and record declarations that can be
  included by a UBF(b) contract's implementation module or by other
  Erlang modules.

- The API and internal implementation of UBF's contract parser,
  contract manager, contract driver, and contract plugin handler has
  changed (in some places).
