+
+You'll see these data types when you run `packer build`:

+-  `ui`: this means that the information being provided is a human-readable string
+  that would be sent to stdout even if we aren't in machine-readable mode. There
+  are three "data" subtypes associated with this type:
+
+    -  `say`: in a non-machine-readable format, this would be bolded. Normally it is
+    used for anouncements about beginning new steps in the build process
+
+    -  `message`: the most commonly used message type, used for basic updates during
+    the build process.
+
+    -  `error`: reserved for errors
+
+- `artifact-count`: This data type tells you how many artifacts a particular
+  build produced.
+
+- `artifact`: This data type tells you information about what Packer created
+  during its build. An example of output follows the pattern
+  `timestamp, buildname, artifact, artifact_number, key, value` where `key` and
+  `value` contain information about the artifact.

+You'll see these data types when you run `packer version`:
+
+- `version`: what version of Packer is running
+
+- `version-prerelease`: Data will contain `dev` if version is prerelease, and
+  otherwise will be blank.
+
+- `version-commit`: The git hash for the commit that the branch of Packer is
+  currently on; most useful for Packer developers.
