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).

= Debugging
To aid developers in tracking down errors in the application's use of
Vulkan, particularly in combination with an external debugger or profiler,
_debugging extensions_ may be available.
Change log for May 12, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.49 spec update: * Bump API patch number and header version number to 49 for this update. Github Issues: * Modify reference page extraction script to make internal links to spec anchors refer to the core specification instead of being dangling links (public issue 455). * Fix GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl typo and add a nor-normative mapping to the newly published StorageBuffer class (public issue 466). * Both flink:vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties and flink:vkEnumerateDeviceExtensionProperties return ename:VK_ERROR_LAYER_NOT_PRESENT, which covers the error case of an application providing a layer name that wasn't returned by ftext:vkEnumerate{Instance|Device}LayerProperties (public issue 487). * The specification for flink:VkApplicationInfo::apiVersion says that the driver must return ename:VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER in the case that pname:apiVersion specifies a non-supported version. That means that the valid usage should not also state that, and so the VU statement is removed. The VU had language about "`an effective substitute`" that would have been lost, and so it was moved to the pname:apiVersion description (public issue 488). Internal Issues: * Modify implicit validity generator script to assign asciidoc anchors to all valid usage statements it generates, and reflow.py script to insert Valid Usage ID (VUID) tags into the specification source files for explicit valid usage statements. This has no semantic effects on the specification, but will support the validation layer's detection of valid usage violations and allow it to link into the corresponding part of the specification (internal issue 583). * Assign VUID tags to all explicit VU statements and document the process and tag format in the style guide (internal issue 583). * Clarify the rules of whether to structure new functionality as instance extensions, device extensions, or both in the <<extended-functionality-instance-extensions-and-devices, Instance Extensions and Device Extensions>> section (internal issue 749). * Require that SPIR-V run-time arrays are only used with the code:BufferBlock decoration (internal issue 750). * Fix implicit and explicit valid usage statements for slink:VkWriteDescriptorSet::pname:dstSet (internal issue 767) * Fix SPIR-V code sample for ename:VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_UNIFORM_TEXEL_BUFFER in the <<descriptorsets-uniformtexelbuffer, Uniform Texel Buffer>> section (internal issue 770). * Clarify that disabling depth testing also disables depth writes in the <<fragops-ds-state, Depth and Stencil Operations>> section (internal issue 775). * flink:VkDescriptorImageInfo::pname:imageLayout must match the actual imageLayout at the time the image is accessed. This was in the spec text, but needed an associated valid usage statement. * Note that only 32-bit atomic operations are supported in the <<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a Module>> section. * Note that code:UniformConstant variables must not have initializers in the <<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a Module>> section. * Add a new elink:VkObjectType enumeration to the core API, promoted from elink:VkDebugObjectTypeEXT, since it is used for much more than just the debug_report extension. New Extensions: * `VK_KHR_get_surface_capabilities2` * `VK_KHR_shared_presentable_image`

Change log for June 24, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.53 spec update: * Bump API patch number and header version number to 53 for this update. Github Issues: Internal Issues: * Clarify mappings of coordinates for mutable, compatible image views in slink:VkImageViewCreateInfo (internal issue 815). * Make ename:VK_BIND_SFR_BIT require a logical device with multiple physical devices, so that standard sparse image block dimensions are only required on systems that support multi-GPU (internal issue 835). * Convert all files from use of // refBegin .. // refEnd comments to delimit ref pages, to use of open blocks, and update style guide accordingly (internal issue 839). * Add valid usage for slink:VkWriteDescriptorSet when performing updates to a ename:VK_STORAGE_IMAGE descriptor with layout ename:VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_GENERAL. * Add a hack to the validity generator script to support an odd interaction between flink:vkCmdFillBuffer and an extension (internal issue 853). * Remove redundant text describing slink:VkBufferCreateInfo::pname:usage, which was already covered by implicit valid usage (internal issue 854). * Update implicit validity generator script to properly handle the pname:sType and pname:pNext members of "returnedonly" structures (internal issue 874). * Note that slink:VkApplicationInfo::pname:pApplicationName & slink:VkApplicationInfo::pname:pEngineName are optional, and add missing implicit valid usage statements for flink:vkDestroyInstance. * Added missing valid usage for flink:vkCmdWriteTimestamp to require a timestamp query pool. * Simplify and/or split "`non-atomic`" valid usage statements. New Extensions: * `VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16` * `VK_EXT_blend_operation_advanced` * `VK_EXT_sampler_filter_minmax` * `VK_NV_framebuffer_mixed_samples` ----------------------------------------------------- Note: the 1.0.52 spec wasn't published on github, so the 1.0.53 release combines both change sets. ----------------------------------------------------- Change log for June 13, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.52 spec update: * Bump API patch number and header version number to 52 for this update. Github Issues: Internal Issues: * Clarify behavior when non-coherent memory has <<memory-device-unmap-does-not-flush, not been flushed before being unmapped>> (internal issue 819). * Fix description of code:WorkgroupSize builtin to note it decorates an object, not a variable (internal issue 836). * Fix asciidoc attributes so that trailing '{plus}' symbols in [eq] style equations are rendered properly (internal issue 845). * Add language to the "`Extension Handles, Objects, Enums, and Typedefs`" section of the Procedures and Conventions document stating that any new handle type requires a corresponding entry in the elink:VkObjectType enumerated type (internal issue 856). * Update style guide to use slink macro for Vulkan handle type names, and define narrow conditions under which to use the *name and *text macros instead of *link (internal issue 886). * Add a dependency of the <<VK_KHX_device_group,VK_KHX_device_group>> extension on VK_KHX_device_group_creation to +vk.xml+ and the extension appendix. * Change the copyright on Vulkan specification asciidoc *source* files to CC-BY 4.0, and update the proprietary Khronos copyright applied to the generated *output* formats (internal issue 327). This enables broader re-use and modification of the Vulkan specification sources, while not affecting the Reciprocal IP License between Vulkan Adopters and Working Group Members. New Extensions: * `VK_NV_fill_rectangle` * `VK_NV_fragment_coverage_to_color`

Internal Issues: * Change slink:VkMappedMemoryRange valid usage to allow pname:offset + pname:size == size of the allocation. Also, if ename:VK_WHOLE_SIZE is used, require the end of the mapping to be aligned to a multiple of pname:nonCoherentAtomSize (internal issue 611). * Add issue to `VK_KHR_win32_surface` about reusing window objects from a different graphics API or Vulkan ICD (internal issue 639). * Require locations on user in/out in `GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl` (internal issue 783). * Added version info to the json validation output, and updated the schema to match (internal issue 838). * Restructure enumerated type descriptions separately from the command or structure they are used in, allowing better reference page generation (internal issue 841). * Re-sort extension appendices to be in alphabetical order within each author ID section. * Fix enum naming and clarify behavior for `VK_NVX_device_generated_commands` extension. New Extensions:

Change log for May 20, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.50 spec update: * Bump API patch number and header version number to 50 for this update. Github Issues: * Fix numerous minor issues with the VK_EXT_debug_report extension (public issues 478, 483, 486, 489, 490). Internal Issues: * Update flink:vkAllocateDescriptorSets to specify conditions under which to return ename:VK_ERROR_FRAGMENTED_POOL or ename:VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_POOL_MEMORY instead of out-of-host/out-of-device-memory, and improve the <<fundamentals-errorcodes, description of those errors (internal issue 654). * Add a NOTE documenting that flink:vkAcquireNextImageKHR can only signal a single semaphore, and how to deal with that when multiple physical devices in a logical device need to wait on it (internal issue 730). * Improve description of pname:pNext chains of slink:VkPhysicalDeviceImageFormatInfo2KHR and slink:VkImageFormatProperties2KHR (internal issue 814). * Clean up math markup issues in the <<textures, Image Operations>> chapter (internal issue 818). * Update validusage target to use more robust code for preprocessing, by making direct use of Asciidoctor's preprocessor. Added uniqueItems check to JSON vu schema and add clean_validusage target (internal issue 826). * Update style guide to prohibit writing non-self-contained (on a single bullet point) Valid Usage statements, and modify offending Valid Usage statements in the Specification to match, to assist with automatic extraction for the validation layers (internal issue 828). * Add ename:VK_VALIDATION_CHECK_SHADERS_EXT to elink:VkValidationCheckEXT of the `VK_EXT_validation_flags` extension, to selectively disable shader validation. * Remove duplicate valid usage statement for slink:VkImageMemoryBarrier. * Modify reflow.py script to place VUID tag anchors standalone on a line following their corresponding bullet point, and reflow the spec text accordingly (this had been pending since the initial tag deployment).

Change log for March 7, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.70 spec update: * Vulkan 1.1 initial release. Bump API patch number and header version number to 70 for this update. The patch number will be used for both Vulkan 1.1 and Vulkan 1.0 updates, and continues to increment continuously from the previous Vulkan 1.0.69 update. NOTE: We are not publishing an updated 1.0.70 specification, or 1.1 reference pages, along with 1.1.70. There are still minor issues to work out with those build targets. However, we will soon generate all three types of documents as part of the regular spec update cycle. NOTE: The GitHub KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Docs repository now maintains the current specification in the `master` branch. The `1.0` branch is out of date and will not be maintained, since we will be generating both 1.1 and 1.0 specifications from the `master` branch in the future. Github Issues: * Clarify how mapped memory ranges are flushed in flink:vkFlushMappedMemoryRanges (public issue 127). * Specify that <<synchronization-pipeline-stages, Pipeline Stages>> are a list of tasks that each command performs, rather than necessarily being discrete pieces of hardware that one task flows through. Add a "`synchronization command`" pipeline type which all synchronization command execute (it's just TOP + BOTTOM), with an explanatory note (public issue 554). Internal Issues: * Regenerate all images used in the spec in Inkscape with a consistent look-and-feel, and adjust image size attributes so they're all legible, and not too large with respect to the spec body text (internal issue 701). * Document in the <<extensions,extensions>> appendix and in the style guide that `KHX` extensions are no longer supported or used in the Vulkan 1.1 timeframe (internal issue 714). * Remove the leftover equations_temp directory after PDF build completes (internal issue 925). * Update the <<credits, Credits (Informative)>> appendix to include contributors to Vulkan 1.1, and to list them according to the API version(s) they contributed to (internal issue 987). * Add a NOTE to the introduction explaining that interfaces defined by extensions which were promoted to Vulkan 1.1 are now expressed as aliases of the Vulkan 1.1 type (internal issue 991). * Instrument spec source conditionals so spec can be built with 1.1 features, extensions promoted to 1.1, or both (internal issues 992, 998). * Modify the XML schema and tools to support explicit aliasing of types, structures, and commands, and use this to express the promotion of 1.0 extensions to 1.1 core features, by making the extension interfaces aliases of the core features they were promoted to. Mark up promoted interfaces to allow still generating 1.0 + extension specifications (internal issue 991). * Platform names, along with corresponding preprocessor symbols to enable extensions specific to those platforms, are now reserved in vk.xml using the <platform> tag. Update the registry schema and schema specification to match (internal issue 1011). * Updated the <<textures-texel-replacement, Texel Replacement>> section to clarify that reads from invalid texels for image resources result in undefined values (internal issue 1014). * Modify description of patch version so it continues to increment across minor version changes (internal issue 1033). * Clarify and unify language describing physical device-level core and extension functionality in the <<fundamentals-validusage-extensions, Valid Usage for Extensions>>, <<fundamentals-validusage-versions, Valid Usage for Newer Core Versions>>, <<initialization-functionpointers Command Function Pointers>>, <<initialization-phys-dev-extensions, Extending Physical Device From Device Extensions>> <<extended-functionality-instance-extensions-and-devices, Instance Extensions and Device Extensions>> sections and for flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties2. This documents that instance-level functionality is tied to the loader, and independent of the ICD; physical device-level functionality is tied to the ICD, and associated with device extensions; physical devices are treated more uniformly between core and extensions; and instance and physical versions can be different (internal issue 1048). * Updated the <<commandbuffers-lifecycle, Command Buffer Lifecycle>> section to clarify the ability for pending command buffers to transition to the invalid state after submission, and add a command buffer lifecycle diagram (internal issue 1050). * Clarify that some flink:VkDescriptorUpdateTemplateCreateInfo parameters are ignored when push descriptors are not supported (internal issue 1054). * Specify that flink:vkCreateImage will return an error if the image is too large, in a NOTE in the slink:VkImageFormatProperties description (internal issue 1078). * Remove near-duplicate NOTEs about when to query function pointers dynamically in the <<initialization, Initialization>> chapter and replace by extending the NOTE in the <<fundamentals-abi, Application Binary Interface>> section (internal issue 1085). * Restore missing references to "`Sparse Resource Features`" in the flink:VkBufferCreateFlagBits description (internal issue 1086). * Tidy up definitions of descriptor types in the `GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl` specification, the <<descriptorsets, Resource Descriptors>> section and its subsections, and the <<interfaces-resources-descset, Descriptor Set Interface>> for consistency, reduction of duplicate information, and removal of GLSL correspondance/examples (internal issue 1090). * Correctly describe code:PrimitiveId as an Input for tessellation control and evaluation shaders, not an Output (internal issue 1109). * Relax the requirements on chroma offsets for nearest filtering in <<textures-implict-reconstruction, Implicit Reconstruction>> (internal issue 1116). Other Issues: * Clarify the intended relationship between specification language and certain terms defined in the Khronos Intellectual Property Rights policy. Specific changes include: ** Rewrote IP/Copyright preamble and introduction to better agree with normative language both as laid out in the introduction, and the Khronos IPR policy. ** Added notion of fully informative sections, which are now tagged with "`(Informative)`" in their titles. ** Removed non-normative uses of the phrase "`not required`" ** Clarified the distinction between terms "`optional`" and "`not required:`" as they relate to the IPR Policy, and updated specification text to use terms consistent with the intent. ** Reduced additions to RFC 2119, and ensured the specification agreed with the leaner language. ** Removed the terms "`hardware`", "`software`", "`CPU`", and "`GPU`" from normative text. ** Moved several paragraphs that should not have been normative to informative notes. ** Clarified a number of definitions in the Glossary. ** Updated the document writing guide to match new terminology changes. * Explicitly state in the <<fundamentals-objectmodel-lifetime-acquire, application memory lifetime>> language that that for objects other than descriptor sets, a slink:VkDescriptorSetLayout object used in the creation of another object (such as slink:VkPipelineLayout or slink:VkDescriptorUpdateTemplateKHR) is only in use during the creation of that object and can be safely destroyed afterwards. * Updated the <<textures-scale-factor, Scale Factor Operation>> section to use the ratio of anisotropy, rather than the integer sample rate, to perform the LOD calculation. The spec still allows use of the sample rate as the value used to calculate the LOD, but no longer requires it. * Update `vulkan_ext.c` to include all platform-related definitions from the Vulkan platform headers, following the split of the headers into platform-specific and non-platform-specific files. * Fix bogus anchor name in the <<commandbuffers, Command Buffers>> chapter which accidentally duplicated an anchor in the pipelines chapter. There were no reference to this anchor, fortunately. * Add valid usage statement for slink:VkWriteDescriptorSet and slink:VkCopyDescriptorSet requiring that the slink:VkDescriptorSetLayout used to allocate the source and destination sets must not have been destroyed at the time flink:vkUpdateDescriptorSets is called. * Document mapping of subgroup barrier functions to SPIR-V, and clarify a place where subgroupBarrier sounds like it's execution-only in the standalone `GL_KHR_shader_subgroup` specification. * Use an HTML stylesheet derived from the Asciidoctor `colony` theme, with the default Arial font family replaced by the sans-serif Noto font family. * Numerous minor updates to README.adoc, build scripts, Makefiles, and registry and style guide specifications to support Vulkan 1.1 outputs, use them as defaults, and remove mention of `KHX` extensions, which are no longer supported. New Extensions: * `VK_EXT_vertex_attrib_divisor`

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 June 24, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.53 spec update: * Bump API patch number and header version number to 53 for this update. Github Issues: Internal Issues: * Clarify mappings of coordinates for mutable, compatible image views in slink:VkImageViewCreateInfo (internal issue 815). * Make ename:VK_BIND_SFR_BIT require a logical device with multiple physical devices, so that standard sparse image block dimensions are only required on systems that support multi-GPU (internal issue 835). * Convert all files from use of // refBegin .. // refEnd comments to delimit ref pages, to use of open blocks, and update style guide accordingly (internal issue 839). * Add valid usage for slink:VkWriteDescriptorSet when performing updates to a ename:VK_STORAGE_IMAGE descriptor with layout ename:VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_GENERAL. * Add a hack to the validity generator script to support an odd interaction between flink:vkCmdFillBuffer and an extension (internal issue 853). * Remove redundant text describing slink:VkBufferCreateInfo::pname:usage, which was already covered by implicit valid usage (internal issue 854). * Update implicit validity generator script to properly handle the pname:sType and pname:pNext members of "returnedonly" structures (internal issue 874). * Note that slink:VkApplicationInfo::pname:pApplicationName & slink:VkApplicationInfo::pname:pEngineName are optional, and add missing implicit valid usage statements for flink:vkDestroyInstance. * Added missing valid usage for flink:vkCmdWriteTimestamp to require a timestamp query pool. * Simplify and/or split "`non-atomic`" valid usage statements. New Extensions: * `VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16` * `VK_EXT_blend_operation_advanced` * `VK_EXT_sampler_filter_minmax` * `VK_NV_framebuffer_mixed_samples` ----------------------------------------------------- Note: the 1.0.52 spec wasn't published on github, so the 1.0.53 release combines both change sets. ----------------------------------------------------- Change log for June 13, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.52 spec update: * Bump API patch number and header version number to 52 for this update. Github Issues: Internal Issues: * Clarify behavior when non-coherent memory has <<memory-device-unmap-does-not-flush, not been flushed before being unmapped>> (internal issue 819). * Fix description of code:WorkgroupSize builtin to note it decorates an object, not a variable (internal issue 836). * Fix asciidoc attributes so that trailing '{plus}' symbols in [eq] style equations are rendered properly (internal issue 845). * Add language to the "`Extension Handles, Objects, Enums, and Typedefs`" section of the Procedures and Conventions document stating that any new handle type requires a corresponding entry in the elink:VkObjectType enumerated type (internal issue 856). * Update style guide to use slink macro for Vulkan handle type names, and define narrow conditions under which to use the *name and *text macros instead of *link (internal issue 886). * Add a dependency of the <<VK_KHX_device_group,VK_KHX_device_group>> extension on VK_KHX_device_group_creation to +vk.xml+ and the extension appendix. * Change the copyright on Vulkan specification asciidoc *source* files to CC-BY 4.0, and update the proprietary Khronos copyright applied to the generated *output* formats (internal issue 327). This enables broader re-use and modification of the Vulkan specification sources, while not affecting the Reciprocal IP License between Vulkan Adopters and Working Group Members. New Extensions: * `VK_NV_fill_rectangle` * `VK_NV_fragment_coverage_to_color`

Change log for May 12, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.49 spec update: * Bump API patch number and header version number to 49 for this update. Github Issues: * Modify reference page extraction script to make internal links to spec anchors refer to the core specification instead of being dangling links (public issue 455). * Fix GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl typo and add a nor-normative mapping to the newly published StorageBuffer class (public issue 466). * Both flink:vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties and flink:vkEnumerateDeviceExtensionProperties return ename:VK_ERROR_LAYER_NOT_PRESENT, which covers the error case of an application providing a layer name that wasn't returned by ftext:vkEnumerate{Instance|Device}LayerProperties (public issue 487). * The specification for flink:VkApplicationInfo::apiVersion says that the driver must return ename:VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER in the case that pname:apiVersion specifies a non-supported version. That means that the valid usage should not also state that, and so the VU statement is removed. The VU had language about "`an effective substitute`" that would have been lost, and so it was moved to the pname:apiVersion description (public issue 488). Internal Issues: * Modify implicit validity generator script to assign asciidoc anchors to all valid usage statements it generates, and reflow.py script to insert Valid Usage ID (VUID) tags into the specification source files for explicit valid usage statements. This has no semantic effects on the specification, but will support the validation layer's detection of valid usage violations and allow it to link into the corresponding part of the specification (internal issue 583). * Assign VUID tags to all explicit VU statements and document the process and tag format in the style guide (internal issue 583). * Clarify the rules of whether to structure new functionality as instance extensions, device extensions, or both in the <<extended-functionality-instance-extensions-and-devices, Instance Extensions and Device Extensions>> section (internal issue 749). * Require that SPIR-V run-time arrays are only used with the code:BufferBlock decoration (internal issue 750). * Fix implicit and explicit valid usage statements for slink:VkWriteDescriptorSet::pname:dstSet (internal issue 767) * Fix SPIR-V code sample for ename:VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_UNIFORM_TEXEL_BUFFER in the <<descriptorsets-uniformtexelbuffer, Uniform Texel Buffer>> section (internal issue 770). * Clarify that disabling depth testing also disables depth writes in the <<fragops-ds-state, Depth and Stencil Operations>> section (internal issue 775). * flink:VkDescriptorImageInfo::pname:imageLayout must match the actual imageLayout at the time the image is accessed. This was in the spec text, but needed an associated valid usage statement. * Note that only 32-bit atomic operations are supported in the <<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a Module>> section. * Note that code:UniformConstant variables must not have initializers in the <<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a Module>> section. * Add a new elink:VkObjectType enumeration to the core API, promoted from elink:VkDebugObjectTypeEXT, since it is used for much more than just the debug_report extension. New Extensions: * `VK_KHR_get_surface_capabilities2` * `VK_KHR_shared_presentable_image`

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.

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).

If this Specification was generated with any such extensions included, they
will be described in the remainder of this chapter.
Change log for March 7, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.70 spec update: * Vulkan 1.1 initial release. Bump API patch number and header version number to 70 for this update. The patch number will be used for both Vulkan 1.1 and Vulkan 1.0 updates, and continues to increment continuously from the previous Vulkan 1.0.69 update. NOTE: We are not publishing an updated 1.0.70 specification, or 1.1 reference pages, along with 1.1.70. There are still minor issues to work out with those build targets. However, we will soon generate all three types of documents as part of the regular spec update cycle. NOTE: The GitHub KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Docs repository now maintains the current specification in the `master` branch. The `1.0` branch is out of date and will not be maintained, since we will be generating both 1.1 and 1.0 specifications from the `master` branch in the future. Github Issues: * Clarify how mapped memory ranges are flushed in flink:vkFlushMappedMemoryRanges (public issue 127). * Specify that <<synchronization-pipeline-stages, Pipeline Stages>> are a list of tasks that each command performs, rather than necessarily being discrete pieces of hardware that one task flows through. Add a "`synchronization command`" pipeline type which all synchronization command execute (it's just TOP + BOTTOM), with an explanatory note (public issue 554). Internal Issues: * Regenerate all images used in the spec in Inkscape with a consistent look-and-feel, and adjust image size attributes so they're all legible, and not too large with respect to the spec body text (internal issue 701). * Document in the <<extensions,extensions>> appendix and in the style guide that `KHX` extensions are no longer supported or used in the Vulkan 1.1 timeframe (internal issue 714). * Remove the leftover equations_temp directory after PDF build completes (internal issue 925). * Update the <<credits, Credits (Informative)>> appendix to include contributors to Vulkan 1.1, and to list them according to the API version(s) they contributed to (internal issue 987). * Add a NOTE to the introduction explaining that interfaces defined by extensions which were promoted to Vulkan 1.1 are now expressed as aliases of the Vulkan 1.1 type (internal issue 991). * Instrument spec source conditionals so spec can be built with 1.1 features, extensions promoted to 1.1, or both (internal issues 992, 998). * Modify the XML schema and tools to support explicit aliasing of types, structures, and commands, and use this to express the promotion of 1.0 extensions to 1.1 core features, by making the extension interfaces aliases of the core features they were promoted to. Mark up promoted interfaces to allow still generating 1.0 + extension specifications (internal issue 991). * Platform names, along with corresponding preprocessor symbols to enable extensions specific to those platforms, are now reserved in vk.xml using the <platform> tag. Update the registry schema and schema specification to match (internal issue 1011). * Updated the <<textures-texel-replacement, Texel Replacement>> section to clarify that reads from invalid texels for image resources result in undefined values (internal issue 1014). * Modify description of patch version so it continues to increment across minor version changes (internal issue 1033). * Clarify and unify language describing physical device-level core and extension functionality in the <<fundamentals-validusage-extensions, Valid Usage for Extensions>>, <<fundamentals-validusage-versions, Valid Usage for Newer Core Versions>>, <<initialization-functionpointers Command Function Pointers>>, <<initialization-phys-dev-extensions, Extending Physical Device From Device Extensions>> <<extended-functionality-instance-extensions-and-devices, Instance Extensions and Device Extensions>> sections and for flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties2. This documents that instance-level functionality is tied to the loader, and independent of the ICD; physical device-level functionality is tied to the ICD, and associated with device extensions; physical devices are treated more uniformly between core and extensions; and instance and physical versions can be different (internal issue 1048). * Updated the <<commandbuffers-lifecycle, Command Buffer Lifecycle>> section to clarify the ability for pending command buffers to transition to the invalid state after submission, and add a command buffer lifecycle diagram (internal issue 1050). * Clarify that some flink:VkDescriptorUpdateTemplateCreateInfo parameters are ignored when push descriptors are not supported (internal issue 1054). * Specify that flink:vkCreateImage will return an error if the image is too large, in a NOTE in the slink:VkImageFormatProperties description (internal issue 1078). * Remove near-duplicate NOTEs about when to query function pointers dynamically in the <<initialization, Initialization>> chapter and replace by extending the NOTE in the <<fundamentals-abi, Application Binary Interface>> section (internal issue 1085). * Restore missing references to "`Sparse Resource Features`" in the flink:VkBufferCreateFlagBits description (internal issue 1086). * Tidy up definitions of descriptor types in the `GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl` specification, the <<descriptorsets, Resource Descriptors>> section and its subsections, and the <<interfaces-resources-descset, Descriptor Set Interface>> for consistency, reduction of duplicate information, and removal of GLSL correspondance/examples (internal issue 1090). * Correctly describe code:PrimitiveId as an Input for tessellation control and evaluation shaders, not an Output (internal issue 1109). * Relax the requirements on chroma offsets for nearest filtering in <<textures-implict-reconstruction, Implicit Reconstruction>> (internal issue 1116). Other Issues: * Clarify the intended relationship between specification language and certain terms defined in the Khronos Intellectual Property Rights policy. Specific changes include: ** Rewrote IP/Copyright preamble and introduction to better agree with normative language both as laid out in the introduction, and the Khronos IPR policy. ** Added notion of fully informative sections, which are now tagged with "`(Informative)`" in their titles. ** Removed non-normative uses of the phrase "`not required`" ** Clarified the distinction between terms "`optional`" and "`not required:`" as they relate to the IPR Policy, and updated specification text to use terms consistent with the intent. ** Reduced additions to RFC 2119, and ensured the specification agreed with the leaner language. ** Removed the terms "`hardware`", "`software`", "`CPU`", and "`GPU`" from normative text. ** Moved several paragraphs that should not have been normative to informative notes. ** Clarified a number of definitions in the Glossary. ** Updated the document writing guide to match new terminology changes. * Explicitly state in the <<fundamentals-objectmodel-lifetime-acquire, application memory lifetime>> language that that for objects other than descriptor sets, a slink:VkDescriptorSetLayout object used in the creation of another object (such as slink:VkPipelineLayout or slink:VkDescriptorUpdateTemplateKHR) is only in use during the creation of that object and can be safely destroyed afterwards. * Updated the <<textures-scale-factor, Scale Factor Operation>> section to use the ratio of anisotropy, rather than the integer sample rate, to perform the LOD calculation. The spec still allows use of the sample rate as the value used to calculate the LOD, but no longer requires it. * Update `vulkan_ext.c` to include all platform-related definitions from the Vulkan platform headers, following the split of the headers into platform-specific and non-platform-specific files. * Fix bogus anchor name in the <<commandbuffers, Command Buffers>> chapter which accidentally duplicated an anchor in the pipelines chapter. There were no reference to this anchor, fortunately. * Add valid usage statement for slink:VkWriteDescriptorSet and slink:VkCopyDescriptorSet requiring that the slink:VkDescriptorSetLayout used to allocate the source and destination sets must not have been destroyed at the time flink:vkUpdateDescriptorSets is called. * Document mapping of subgroup barrier functions to SPIR-V, and clarify a place where subgroupBarrier sounds like it's execution-only in the standalone `GL_KHR_shader_subgroup` specification. * Use an HTML stylesheet derived from the Asciidoctor `colony` theme, with the default Arial font family replaced by the sans-serif Noto font family. * Numerous minor updates to README.adoc, build scripts, Makefiles, and registry and style guide specifications to support Vulkan 1.1 outputs, use them as defaults, and remove mention of `KHX` extensions, which are no longer supported. New Extensions: * `VK_EXT_vertex_attrib_divisor`
