Major version numbers of the UI Framework module are significant, and each major version upgrade (1.x, 2.x, 3.x, etc) introduces backwards-incompatible changes.

3.0

Prior versions of UI Framework automatically wrapped all pages in a standard <html>...</html> template. Since UIFR-104 this no longer happens, so you need to provide that boilerplate yourself, typically through a common decorator. See how we changed things in the appui module.

2.0

Referring to pages, fragments, and resources, now requires that you indicate the page/fragment/resource provider. See  Upgrading from 1.7 of the UI Framework
