Release context

Read this update as one record inside a wider release trail

This dated post is useful on its own, but launch review depends on the surrounding records, same-day updates, and public evidence surfaces that travel with it.

What this record covers

One dated summary inside the public launch archive

UAIX aligned the public site around the current UAI, UAI-1, and implementation-track naming model so the pages read more clearly as a standards record.

Use the verification routes below to confirm the packet from the canonical public surface instead of relying on the dated narrative alone.

UAIX has aligned the public site more tightly around the current naming model: UAIX is the standards and publication venue, UAI is the standard family, and UAI-1 is the current normative release.

What changed

  • About, Get Started, and References and Contributors now state the naming distinctions more directly so readers can cite the site and the standard without mixing them together.
  • Implementations now uses WordPress Publication Track and .NET Bridge Track as the public track names, keeping implementation work visible without letting one runtime become the identity of the standard.
  • Press and the broader public copy now favor plain standards-record language such as machine-readable records, implementation tracks, and release notes where older wording was looser or less aligned.

How to cite the work after this alignment pass

  1. Use UAIX when referring to the website, publication site, press assets, or public records.
  2. Use UAI when referring to the broader standard family.
  3. Use UAI-1 when referring to the current normative specification.
  4. Use implementation tracks when describing the public deployment lanes attached to UAI-1.

Release-note posture

This is a corrective public-language update. It does not change the route model, validator behavior, or schema expectations. It makes the site easier to read, cite, and explain without drifting away from the canonical terminology.

Where to look next

Use Changelog for the public compatibility record, News for the public-facing release trail, and References and Contributors when you need stable discovery and citation links around the terminology model.
