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 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 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 October 20, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.64 spec update: * Bump API patch number and header version number to 64 for this update. Github Issues: * Add chapter name to the PDF page footer (public pull request 458). * Fix several mistaken references to the nonexistent etext:VK_DEVICE_LOST status to etext:VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST (public pull request 502). * Fix description of the tlink:PFN_vkDebugReportCallbackEXT debug report callback function pointer to match the validation layer behavior (public issue 534). * Document experimental KHX extensions and alternate vendor author IDs also ending in X in more detail in the <<extensions, Layers & Extensions>> appendix, the extensions section of the style guide, and the registry schema description document (public issues 536, 580). * Fix references to ptext:pDepthStencil to properly refer to pname:pDepthStencilState or pname:pRasterizationState as appropriate in the slink:VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo description (public issue 542). * Fix wrong parameter name in slink:VkPipelineMultisampleStateCreateInfo valid usage (public pull request 571). Internal Issues: * Update the style guide to describe how to write LaTeX math expressions in table cells (internal issue 908). * Define how framebuffer-local dependencies work between subpasses with the same or different numbers of samples, in the slink:VkSubpassDescription and <<synchronization-framebuffer-regions, Framebuffer Region Dependencies>> sections. This clarifies which samples in an input attachment you are allowed to access after a framebuffer-local dependency (internal issue 915). * Specify which storage classes can have an initializer in the <<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a Module>> section (internal issue 1023). * Use "LOD" consistently for "level-of-detail", to eliminate spelling inconsistencies. The term is already standardized in the Glossary (internal issue 1027). Other Issues: * Fix false positives in Makefile dependencies when rules fail, by deleting partially-made targets. New Extensions: * `VK_AMD_shader_info`

Change log for January 15, 2018 Vulkan 1.0.68 spec update: * Bump API patch number and header version number to 68 for this update. Github Issues: * Added more details in the <<extended-functionality-extensions-compatibility, Extension Compatibility>> section, allowing explicit incompatibilities, and simplify corresponding language in the style guide, which now defers to the API Specification on this point (public issue 638). * Fix typo in description of slink:VkCommandBufferLevel::pname:level (public issue 651). * Only include extension-dependent valid usage statement for slink:VkImageSubresourceRange, and note that the extension names for header files described in the <<boilerplate-wsi-header, Window System-Specific Header Control>> section are only valid links, when the specification being viewed is built with the corresponding extensions enabled (public issue 652). Internal Issues: * Add language to elink:VkResult specifying that when commands return an error, output parameter contents are undefined instead of unmodified (except for pname:sType and pname:pNext). Note that this is a behavior change. Add notes calling out slink:VkImageFormatProperties as an exception (internal issue 1118). * Add "`general-purpose`" to the style guide, and correct existing uses of "`general purpose`" as an adjective (internal issue 1121). * Add the ename:VK_DEBUG_REPORT_OBJECT_TYPE_VALIDATION_CACHE_EXT_EXT token for the `VK_EXT_validation_cache` extension, following the same naming pattern as other tokens in the extension, but keep the old ename:VK_DEBUG_REPORT_OBJECT_TYPE_VALIDATION_CACHE_EXT token around for backwards compatibility (internal issue 1126). Other Issues: * Specify that flink:vkCmdSetDiscardRectangleEXT does not affect copies or clears, matching existing language for the scissor rectangle test. * Move the <<boilerplate-sType, pname:sType>> definition from the boilerplate appendix to the Fundamentals chapter, putting it together with the valid usage of pname:sType rather than having the definition split across two places. * Inline all of the etext:Vk*Flags definitions, moving each one from the boilerplate appendix to appear either after the corresponding etext:Vk*FlagBits value if one is defined, or after the first structure that includes them if not.
