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 15, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.61 spec update: * Bump API patch number and header version number to 61 for this update. Github Issues: * Provide alternate length attributes (altlen=) in the XML schema, for those using length attributes to generate code instead of documentation (public issue 555). * Fix erroneous references to `latex:` being used for asciidoc math markup, rather than `latexmath:` (public pull request 556). * Add author ID to XML for Kazan software renderer (public pull request 557). Internal Issues: * Add the <<fundamentals-abi,Application Binary Interface>> section describing platform ABI requirements and recommendations, add examples of function and function pointer declarations to the <<boilerplate-platform-specific-calling-conventions, Platform-Specific Calling Conventions>> section, and remove related language that existed elsewhere in the specification (internal issue 64). * Describe where to document valid usage interactions of chained structures in the style guide, and fix one case now appearing in slink:VkBufferCreateInfo instead of the child slink:VkDedicatedAllocationBufferCreateInfoNV structure (internal issue 715). * Add example to the style guide of describing enumerated types which are empty when the spec is built without relevant extensions enabled, and apply it to existing examples for elink:VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateFlagBits and elink:VkSubpassDescriptionFlagBits (internal issue 864). * Add a note to the <<fundamentals-validusage-enums, Valid Usage for Enumerated Types>> section that the special values suffixed with etext:_BEGIN_RANGE, etext:_END_RANGE, etext:_RANGE_SIZE and etext:_MAX_ENUM are not part of the API and should: not be used by applications (internal issue 872). * Added note to flink:vkCmdUpdateBuffers explaining the performance penalty for copies done in this way, and why the upper copy limit is what it is (internal issue 952). * Update `VK_KHX_device_group` to split some functionality into the new `VK_KHR_bind_memory2` extension, and rename that functionality (internal issue 969). * Remove *Status* fields from extension appendices, since they are by definition published and complete by the time they reach the public github repository (internal issue 973). Other Issues: * Update Data Format specification dependency to version 1.2 and change references to DF sections accordingly. * Update XML to make the pname:pAllocator parameter of flink:vkRegisterDeviceEventEXT and flink:vkRegisterDisplayEventEXT in the `VK_EXT_display_control` extension as optional. New Extensions: * `VK_KHR_bind_memory2` * `VK_KHR_image_format_list` * `VK_KHR_maintenance2` * `VK_KHR_sampler_ycbcr_conversion`

This extension provides a mechanism for caching the results of potentially
expensive internal validation operations across multiple runs of a Vulkan
application.
At the core is the slink:VkValidationCacheEXT object type, which is managed
similarly to the existing slink:VkPipelineCache.
The new struct slink:VkShaderModuleValidationCacheCreateInfoEXT can be
included in the pname:pNext chain at flink:vkCreateShaderModule time.
It contains a slink:VkValidationCacheEXT to use when validating the
slink:VkShaderModule.

Change log for August 13, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.83 spec update: * Update release number to 83. Public Issues: * Use [%inline] directive for all SVGs to reduce file size (public pull request 734). * Convert XML `value` aliases into \<alias> tags (public pull request 747). * Fix metadoc script showing non-selected extensions (public pull request 748). * Reapply public pull request 742 to make ename:VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_CONDITIONAL_RENDERING_BIT_EXT part of the graphices pipeline (public pull request 749). * Fix numerous typos related to accidental duplication of words (public pull request 760). * Fix `vk.xml` contact typos (public pull request 761). Internal Issues: * Add images to the <<Standard sample locations>> table (internal issue 1115). * Add a definition of "`Inherited from`" precision in the <<spirvenv-precision-operation, Precision and Operation of SPIR-V Instructions>> section (internal issue 1314). * Clarify that both built-in and user-defined variables count against the location limits for shader interfaces in the <<interfaces-iointerfaces-locations, Location Assignment>> section (internal issue 1316). * Merge "`required`" capabilities into the <<spirvenv-capabilities-table, list of optional: SPIR-V capabilities>> (internal issue 1320). * Relax the layout matching rules of descriptors referring to only a single aspect of a depth/stencil image, by reference to the new <<resources-image-layouts-matching-rule, Image Layout Matching Rules>> section (internal issue 1346). * Revert extension metadoc generator warning about name mismatches to a diagnostic, due to annoying warnings in build output for conscious choices we've made (internal issue 1351). Other Issues: * Reserve bits for pending vendor extensions. * Make Vulkan consistent with SPIR-V regarding code:DepthReplacing and code:FragDepth in the <<interfaces-builtin-variables, Built-In Variables>> section. * Add missing ChangeLog entries for the previous three spec updates.
