UCF Development
The Unified Compliance Framework⢠is in a state of continual development that follows a punctuated-equilibrium model. This means that there will be few (and far between) times of rapid development followed by long intervals of gradual change.
The current state of development
The UCF XML framework is currently moving toward an initial release of version 2.1, which will be released the first quarter of 2010.
