Abstract 

This document contains non-normative release notes produced by the User-Managed Access Work Group explaining how new versions of the UMA specifications differ from previous ones.

...

The UMA V2.0 specifications (GrantFedAuthz – currently these links go to revisions 0809) (tbs: link to final specs, and to final spec sections throughout) are in Draft Recommendation form. This section will be completed, and updated as required, as the specifications progress to Recommendation status. Differences and changes noted are between V2.0 and V1.0.n generally; note that internal revision differences between UMA2 revisions are not tracked. (You may find it helpful to refer to the Disposition of Comments document, a record of specification changes during the Public Comment periods.) Where the distinction between V1.0 and V1.0.1 is important, it will be noted; otherwise the label "UMA1" is used.
