Change log for September 5, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.60 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 60 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Document that <<queries-timestamps, Timestamp Queries>> can only be
meaningfully compared when they are written from the same queue (public
issue 216).
* Document that the `<extension>` tag `type` attribute is required for
non-disabled extensions (derived from, but does not close public issue
354).
* Clean up registry schema length attribute descriptions to be consistent
and correct (public issue 555).
Internal Issues:
* Replace as much of the hand-written extension appendix metadata as
possible with asciidoc includes generated from corresponding attributes
of +vk.xml+, and enhance the style guide to match. This avoids
inconsistencies between +vk.xml+ and the appendices, and produces a more
uniform style (internal issue 137).
* Remove the generated extDependency.{py,sh} files from the tree and
create them dynamically on demand instead, reducing merge conflicts
(internal issue 713).
* Add a prototype tool for generating in-place difference markup for
sections guarded by asciidoc conditionals, and new syntax for open
blocks to support it (internal issue 833).
* Remove unnecessary restriction of etext:*SYNC_FD_BIT_KHR external handle
types to the same physical device in the
slink:VkPhysicalDeviceIDPropertiesKHR,
flink:VkImportMemoryWin32HandleInfoKHR,
slink:VkImportFenceWin32HandleInfoKHR, slink:VkImportFenceFdInfoKHR,
slink:VkImportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfoKHR,
slink:VkImportSemaphoreFdInfoKHR
<<external-memory-handle-types-compatibility, External memory handle
types compatibility>>, <<external-semaphore-handle-types-compatibility,
External semaphore handle types compatibility>>, and
<<external-fence-handle-types-compatibility, External fence handle types
compatibility>> sections (internal issue 956).
Other Issues:
* Remove dependency of +VK_KHX_device_group+ on +VK_KHR_swapchain+ (there
is an interaction, but not a strict dependency), and add a new
`extension` attribute to the `<require` XML tag to allow classifying a
subset of interfaces of an extension as requiring another extension.
Update the registry schema and documentation accordingly.
New Extensions:
* `VK_AMD_shader_fragment_mask` (and related `GL_AMD_shader_fragment_mask`
GLSL extension)
* `VK_EXT_sample_locations`
* `VK_EXT_validation_cache`

Change log for January 23, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.39 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 39 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Clarified that only accesses via the specified buffer/image subresource
ranges are included in the access scopes (public issue 306).
* Add missing valid usage statements for flink:vkCreateComputePipelines
and flink:vkCreateGraphicsPipelines (public issue 427).
Internal Issues:
* Add a Note to the <<invariance,Invariance>> appendix about a difference
between OpenGL and Vulkan with regards to how primitives derived from
offsets are handled (internal issue 355).
* Add the +<<VK_KHR_get_physical_device_properties2>>+,
+<<VK_KHR_maintenance1>>+, and +<<VK_KHR_shader_draw_parameters>>+
extensions (internal issue 448).
* Add the +<<VK_EXT_shader_subgroup_vote>>+ and
+<<VK_EXT_shader_subgroup_ballot>>+ extensions (internal issue 449).
* Update the texture level-of-detail equation in the
<<textures-scale-factor,Scale Factor Operation>> section to better
approximate the ellipse major and minor axes (internal issue 547).
* Forbid non-explicitly allowed uses of interface decorations in the
introduction to the <<interfaces,Shader Interfaces>> chapter (internal
issue 607).
* Replace use of MathJax with KaTeX, for improved load-time performance as
well as avoiding the scrolling-and-scrolling behavior due to MathJax
asynchronous rendering when loading at an anchor inside the spec. This
change also requires moving to HTML5 output for the spec instead of
XHTML, and there is a visible difference in that the chapter navigation
index is now in a scrollable sidebar instead of at the top of the
document. We may or may not retain the nav sidebar based on feedback
(internal issue 613).
* Improve consistency of markup and formatting in extension appendices
(internal issue 631).
Other Issues:
* Add explicit valid usage statements to slink:VkImageCopy requiring that
the source and destination layer ranges be contained in their respective
source and destination images.
* Add valid usage language for swapchain of flink:vkAcquireNextImage. If
the swapchain has been replaced, then it should not be passed to
flink:vkAcquireNextImage.
* Add a valid usage statement to flink:vkCreateImageView, that the image
must have been created with an appropriate usage bit set.
* Noted that slink:VkDisplayPresentInfoKHR is a valid extension of
slink:VkPresentInfoKHR in the <<wsi_swapchain,WSI Swapchain>> section.
* Update valid usage for flink:vkCmdSetViewport and flink:vkCmdSetScissor
to account for the multiple viewport feature. If the feature is not
enabled, the parameters for these functions have required values that
are defined in the <<features-features-multiViewport,multiple
viewports>> section of the spec but were not reflected in the valid
usage text for these functions.
* Add the +<<VK_EXT_swapchain_colorspace>>+ extension defining common
color spaces.

Change log for September 6, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.26 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 26 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Bring sample code in the +VK_KHR_surface+ and +VK_KHR_swapchain+
extension summary appendices up to date, and note they will be replaced
with pointers to the LunarG SDK examples in the future (public issue
279).
* Add a new <<fundamentals-commandsyntax-results-lifetime,Lifetime of
Retrieved Results>> section specifying that ftext:vkGet* and
ftext:VkEnumerate* results are invariant unless otherwise specified, and
specify behavior for individual commands which are not invariant (public
issue 280).
* Remove conflicting definition of
slink:VkDisplayPlaneCapabilitiesKHR::pname:maxSrcPosition and clean up
language of the remaining definition (public issue 351).
* Fix many minor spelling errors and add rules to the style guide to
prevent recurrences (public issue 352).
Internal Issues:
* Remove redundant descriptions of the etext:VK_USE_PLATFORM_* macros from
the <<wsi,Window System Integration>> chapter in favor of the
description in the <<boilerplate-wsi-header,Window System-Specific
Header Control>> appendix (internal issue 6).
* Replace misleading 'can: be destroyed when not X' with more correct
'must: not be destroyed while X' in the
<<fundamentals-objectmodel-lifetime,Object Lifetime>> section. Disallow
destroying a pipeline layout while a command buffer using it is
recording (internal issue 241).
* Clarify that ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_TRANSIENT_ATTACHMENT_BIT is valid for
all images used as attachments in elink:VkImageUsageFlagBits and the
slink:VkImageLayout validity language (internal issue 320).
* Note that <<extended-functionality-layers,Layers>> may wrap object
handles, but that this is a generally discouraged. A link to additional
information in the documentation for layer authors is provided (issue
398)
* Replace the mustnot: and shouldnot: macros with equivalent must: not and
should: not to get rid of non-English words while still highlighting
normative language (internal issue 407).
* Disallow creating multisampled images with
ename:VK_IMAGE_CREATE_CUBE_COMPATIBLE_BIT in the slink:VkImageLayout
validity language and the <<features-supported-sample-counts,Supported
Sample Counts>> section (internal issue 445).
* Fix typo so that flink:vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect is defined in terms of
flink:vkCmdDrawIndexed rather than flink:vkCmdDrawIndirect (internal
issue 446).
* Reorganize the per-extension information sections to all be in the
<<extensions,Layers & Extensions>> appendix. Also fix a typo in
+VK_IMG_filter_cubic+ which incorrectly identified it as a +KHR+
extension (internal issue 461).
Other Issues:
* Use asciidoc markup instead of latexmath to simplify diagrams in the
<<features-formats-non-packed,byte mapping tables>> for color formats.
* Fix a markup problem with the wildcarded enumerant names in a NOTE in
the <<textures-texel-replacement,Texel Replacement>> section.
* Fix missing attributes in the XML interface for
elink:VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagBitsNV and
elink:VkExternalMemoryFeatureFlagBitsNV (KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Hpp issue
#25)
* Cleanup reference page builds so only core pages are built for releases.

Change log for September 23, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.28 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 28 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Minor spelling and typography cleanup, add definitions of
ename:VK_FALSE and ename:VK_TRUE as just what their names say
(public issues 220, 318, 325, 365; internal issues 451, 496)
* Clarify that the pname:maxDescriptorSet limits in the
<<features-limits-required,Required Limits>> table are n *
maxPerStage limit (where n=number of supported stages) (public issue
254).
* Minor cleanup to <<boilerplate-platform-macros,Platform-Specific
Macro Definitions>> appendix (public issue 314).
* Add valid usage statement to slink:VkPipelineLayoutCreateInfo
disallowing multiple push constant ranges for the same shader stage
(public issue 340).
* Clarify the elink:VkSharingMode description of what executing the
"same" barriers means in case of ownership transfer (public issue
347).
* Rename copyright.txt and add COPYING.md to try and reduce confusion
about applicable copyrights (public issue 350).
* Extend the table in the <<boilerplate-wsi-header, Window System-Specific
Header Control>> section to describe the external headers included when
each etext:VK_USE_PLATFORM_* macro is defined (public issue 376).
Internal Issues:
* Add "Revision History" to the PDF outputs following the table of
contents, to match HTML outputs (internal issue 43).
* Clarified that flink:vkMapMemory may fail due to virtual address
space limitations (internal issue 346).
* Add +refBody+ comment markup for ref page autoextraction when required
(internal issue 400).
* Document proper use of "mipmap" and "mip" in the style guide API
naming rules, matching the spelling rules (internal issue 471).
* Tweak the <<extensions,Layers and Extensions>> appendix to note that
the Specification may be built with arbitrary combinations of
extensions (internal issue 483).
* Remove incorrect statement allowing
slink:VkClearAttachment::pname:colorAttachment to be >=
slink:VkSubpassDescription::pname:colorAttachmentCount (internal
issue 488).
* The <<features-limits-viewportboundsrange,viewportBoundsRange>> is
expressed in terms of the pname:maxViewportDimensions but this is
actually two values. Clarify that it's based on the larger of the two
(if they differ) (internal issue 499).
Other Issues:
* Reflowed text of the entire spec using the 'reflow' Makefile gater,
to (hopefully) reduce future internal git churn as edits are made
and extensions added in return for one-time pain. This has no
perceptible change on the spec outputs but considerable changes on
the asciidoc source (internal issue 367).

change also requires moving to HTML5 output for the spec instead of
XHTML, and there is a visible difference in that the chapter navigation
index is now in a scrollable sidebar instead of at the top of the
document. We may or may not retain the nav sidebar based on feedback
(internal issue 613).
* Improve consistency of markup and formatting in extension appendices
(internal issue 631).
Other Issues:
* Add explicit valid usage statements to slink:VkImageCopy requiring that
the source and destination layer ranges be contained in their respective
source and destination images.
* Add valid usage language for swapchain of flink:vkAcquireNextImage. If
the swapchain has been replaced, then it should not be passed to
flink:vkAcquireNextImage.
* Add a valid usage statement to flink:vkCreateImageView, that the image
must have been created with an appropriate usage bit set.
* Noted that slink:VkDisplayPresentInfoKHR is a valid extension of
slink:VkPresentInfoKHR in the <<wsi_swapchain,WSI Swapchain>> section.
* Update valid usage for flink:vkCmdSetViewport and flink:vkCmdSetScissor
to account for the multiple viewport feature. If the feature is not
enabled, the parameters for these functions have required values that
are defined in the <<features-features-multiViewport,multiple
viewports>> section of the spec but were not reflected in the valid
usage text for these functions.
* Add the +<<VK_EXT_swapchain_colorspace>>+ extension defining common
color spaces.

offsets are handled (internal issue 355).
* Add the +<<VK_KHR_get_physical_device_properties2>>+,
+<<VK_KHR_maintenance1>>+, and +<<VK_KHR_shader_draw_parameters>>+
extensions (internal issue 448).

*RESOLVED*: Yes, but strict exceptions to the rules are added to allow some
|
|
|
|
|
forms of aliasing in these cases.

|
|
|

Further, other extensions may build upon these new aliasing rules to define
|
|
|
|
|
specific support usage within Vulkan for imported native memory objects, or
|
|
|
|
|
memory objects from other APIs.

Change log for September 23, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.28 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 28 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Minor spelling and typography cleanup, add definitions of
ename:VK_FALSE and ename:VK_TRUE as just what their names say
(public issues 220, 318, 325, 365; internal issues 451, 496)
* Clarify that the pname:maxDescriptorSet limits in the
<<features-limits-required,Required Limits>> table are n *
maxPerStage limit (where n=number of supported stages) (public issue
254).
* Minor cleanup to <<boilerplate-platform-macros,Platform-Specific
Macro Definitions>> appendix (public issue 314).
* Add valid usage statement to slink:VkPipelineLayoutCreateInfo
disallowing multiple push constant ranges for the same shader stage
(public issue 340).
* Clarify the elink:VkSharingMode description of what executing the
"same" barriers means in case of ownership transfer (public issue
347).
* Rename copyright.txt and add COPYING.md to try and reduce confusion
about applicable copyrights (public issue 350).
* Extend the table in the <<boilerplate-wsi-header, Window System-Specific
Header Control>> section to describe the external headers included when
each etext:VK_USE_PLATFORM_* macro is defined (public issue 376).
Internal Issues:
* Add "Revision History" to the PDF outputs following the table of
contents, to match HTML outputs (internal issue 43).
* Clarified that flink:vkMapMemory may fail due to virtual address
space limitations (internal issue 346).
* Add +refBody+ comment markup for ref page autoextraction when required
(internal issue 400).
* Document proper use of "mipmap" and "mip" in the style guide API
naming rules, matching the spelling rules (internal issue 471).
* Tweak the <<extensions,Layers and Extensions>> appendix to note that
the Specification may be built with arbitrary combinations of
extensions (internal issue 483).
* Remove incorrect statement allowing
slink:VkClearAttachment::pname:colorAttachment to be >=
slink:VkSubpassDescription::pname:colorAttachmentCount (internal
issue 488).
* The <<features-limits-viewportboundsrange,viewportBoundsRange>> is
expressed in terms of the pname:maxViewportDimensions but this is
actually two values. Clarify that it's based on the larger of the two
(if they differ) (internal issue 499).
Other Issues:
* Reflowed text of the entire spec using the 'reflow' Makefile gater,
to (hopefully) reduce future internal git churn as edits are made
and extensions added in return for one-time pain. This has no
perceptible change on the spec outputs but considerable changes on
the asciidoc source (internal issue 367).

of the same Vulkan driver?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*RESOLVED*: No.
|
|
|
|
|
Separate instances of the same Vulkan driver running on the same GPU should

|
have identical internal layout semantics, so applictions have the tools they
|

need to ensure views of images are consistent between the two instances.

|
Other APIs will fall into two categories: Those that are Vulkan compatible

(A term to be defined by subsequent interopability extensions), or Vulkan

|
|
|

incompatible.

Change log for February 10, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.40 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 40 for this update.
* There is a major build change in this release. We are now using the
Ruby-based ``asciidoctor'' implementation, rather than the Python-based
``asciidoc'' implementation, to process the specification. While the
actual specification markup changes were minimal, this requires a new
set of build tools and a very different installation process, especially
because we now use an experimental direct-to-PDF backend for Asciidoctor
instead of Docbook->dblatex->PDF. It is no longer possible to build the
Specification using asciidoc. See doc/specs/vulkan/README.adoc
for some guidance on installing the new toolchain components.
* There are some minor rendering issues in the PDF output due to teething
problems with the asciidoctor toolchain, especially with mathematical
equations. We are aware of these and working on them.
Github Issues:
* Updated sample code for the <<sparsememory-examples-basic,sparse
resource binding example>> (public issue 97).
* Modify line and point clipping behavior in the
<<vertexpostproc-clipping, Primitive Clipping>> section to allow for
pop-free behavior. The ability to check for which behavior is
implemented may be added a future feature or extension (public issue
113).
* Unify the discussions of implicit ordering throughout the spec, in
particular in the new sections <<drawing-primitive-order, Primitive
Order>>, <<primrast-order, Rasterization Order>>, and
<<synchronization-implicit, Implicit Synchronization Guarantees>>; the
discussion of <<synchronization-submission-order, submission order>>;
and references elsewhere to these sections (public issue 133).
* Clarify \<\<descriptorsets-compatibility,Pipeline Layout Compatibility>>
language and introduce the term ``identically defined'' (public issue
164).
* Add a dependency to the +VK_EXT_debug_marker+ extension that's needed to
reuse the object type enum from +VK_EXT_debug_report+, and moves the
definition of that enum into +VK_EXT_debug_report+ where it should be
(public issue 409).
* Remove redundant valid usage statement from slink:VkImageBlit (public
issue 421).
* Update GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl to allow the ternary operator to result in a
specialization constant (public issue 424).
* Fix valid usage for flink:VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo (public issue
426).
* Correct typo in New Objects list for <<VK_EXT_debug_report>> (public
issue 447).
Internal Issues:
* Moved to asciidoctor for spec builds (internal issue 121).
* Update style guide to describe where to put new extensions-specific
asciidoc files, and what to name them (internal issue 626).
* Add src/spec/indexExt.py to autogenerate registry index entries linking
into the 1.0-extensions specification, instead of maintaining the index
manually. (internal issue 642).
* Autogenerate extension dependencies and lists of all extensions and all
KHR extensions from the "supported" attributes in +vk.xml+. Execute
+make config/extDependency.sh+ from +doc/specs/vulkan+ when a supported
extension is added to vk.xml, to regenerate the dependency script. The
consequence is that specifying a single extension to the +makeExt+
script will automatically enable all extensions it depends on as well,
and that the +makeAllExts+ and +makeKHR+ scripts do not need to be
updated when a new extension is supported (internal issue 648).
* Put extension appendices all at the same asciidoc section level, so KHR
WSI extensions show up in the HTML index (internal issue 648).
Other Issues:
* Imbed images in the generated HTML specs instead of loading them from
the images/ directory.
* Fix missing EXT in extension name
(ename:VK_EXT_SWAPCHAIN_COLOR_SPACE_EXTENSION_NAME).
* Add new +VK_EXT_SMPTE_2086_metadata+ extension.
* In the <<platformCreateSurface_xlib,Xlib Surface>> section of the
+VK_KHR_xlib_surface+ specification, add language warning users that
they always need to call code:XinitThreads.
* Use the term "presentable image" (rather than "swapchain image")
consistently in +VK_KHR_swapchain+ and related extensions, and add a
glossary term defining it.
* Relocate the valid usage for samples of
flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSparseImageFormatProperties2KHR::pname:pFormatInfo
to be below the flink:VkPhysicalDeviceSparseImageFormatInfo2KHR
structure.
