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 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 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 March 16, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.71 spec update:
* First public update for Vulkan 1.1.
Github Issues:
* Refer to standard sparse image block shape format tables explicitly in
the <<sparsememory-standard-shapes, Standard Sparse Image Block Shapes>>
section (public issue 93).
* Add the missing definition of the code:LocalInvocationIndex decoration
in the <<interfaces-builtin-variables, Built-In Variables>> section
(public issue 532).
* Clarify dynamic state definition in the introduction to the <<pipelines,
Pipelines>> section and the new <<pipelines-dynamic-state, Dynamic
State>> subsection (public issue 620).
* Clarified deprecation statement in the `VK_AMD_negative_viewport_height`
appendix (public issue 674).
* Fix parameter descriptions for flink:vkCreateIndirectCommandsLayoutNVX
(public issue 677).
Internal Issues:
* Remove description of <<primsrast-points, rasterization point size>>
being taken from the tessellation control shader, since there are no
circumstances under which you can have TCS without TES (internal issue
522).
* Define <<copies-images-format-size-compatibility, _size-compatible_
image formats>> for flink:vkCmdCopyImage, add it to the glossary, and
use that definition for slink:VkImageViewCreateInfo (internal issue
771).
* Change brief descriptions of enumerant names, and of parameters which
are enumerants, from "`enum *indicates*`" to "`enum *specifies*`" for
consistency, and add a markup style guide rule (internal issue 862).
* Clarify how execution dependencies interact with
<<synchronization-submission-order, submission order>> at numerous
places in the <<renderpass, Render Pass>> and <<synchronization,
Synchronization>> chapters (internal issue 1062).
* Clarify statement in the <<interfaces-resources-setandbinding,
DescriptorSet and Binding Assignment>> section that only interface
variables statically used by the entry point used in a pipeline must be
present in the descriptor set layout (internal issue 1172).
* Flip sparse image diagrams with partially full mip levels vertically, to
match graph origins of other image diagrams (internal issue 1176).
* Update new SVG diagrams to have consistent style and base font size,
increase consistency of primitive topology diagrams, and add a section
to the style guide on creating and editing images in a consistent style
(internal issue 1177).
* Resolve problems with valid usage statement extraction by fixing
existing VUID tags for interfaces promoted to version 1.1 and fixing
conditional directives around
VUID-VkMemoryDedicatedAllocateInfo-image-01797 (internal issue 1184).
* Strip `KHR` suffixes from a few interfaces promoted to Vulkan 1.1 that
were missed previously (internal issue 1185).
* Restrict code:OpImageQuerySizeLod and code:OpImageQueryLevels to only
work on code:Image operands with their code:Sampled operand set to 1. In
other words, these operations are not defined to work with storage
images (internal issue 1193).
* Recycle extension slot for extension #82 in `vk.xml`. This extension was
never published (internal issue 1195).
* Add an issue to the `VK_KHR_maintenance1` appendix noting that zero
height viewports are allowed when this extension is enabled (internal
issue 1202).
* Fix slink:VkDescriptorSetLayoutBinding description so that shader stages
always use descriptor bindings, not the other way around (internal issue
1206).
* Fix field name for
slink:VkInputAttachmentAspectReference::pname:inputAttachmentIndex
(internal issue 1210).
Other Issues:
* Fix a few broken links in the <<versions-1.1, Version 1.1>> appendix.
* Replace a few old refBegin/refEnd tags with open block markup around
interfaces, and remove old KHX VUID tags that were breaking the valid
usage statement extraction.
* Fix error codes accidentally tagged as success codes in `vk.xml` for
flink:vkGetSwapchainCounterEXT.
* Added valid usage statements for ftext:vkBind*Memory2 input structures
stext:VkBind*MemoryInfo, and fix a pname:image -> pname:buffer typo in a
couple of places.
* Fix swapped descriptions of elink:VkDescriptorType enums
ename:VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_SAMPLED_IMAGE and
ename:VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_IMAGE (reported via tweet).
New Extensions:
* `VK_ANDROID_external_memory_android_hardware_buffer`

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`

`VK_KHR_maintenance1` adds a collection of minor features that were
|
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.

intentionally left out or overlooked from the original Vulkan 1.0 release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The new features are as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Allow 2D and 2D array image views to be created from 3D images, which
|
|
|
|
|
can then be used as color framebuffer attachments.
|
|
|
|
|
This allows applications to render to slices of a 3D image.
|
|
|
|
|
* Support flink:vkCmdCopyImage between 2D array layers and 3D slices.
|
|
|
|
|
This extension allows copying from layers of a 2D array image to slices
|
|
|
|
|
of a 3D image and vice versa.
|
|
|
|
|
* Allow negative height to be specified in the
|
2017-11-27 09:07:06 +00:00
|
|
|
slink:VkViewport::pname:height field to perform y-inversion of the
|
|
|
|
|
clip-space to framebuffer-space transform.
|
2017-11-08 23:09:27 +00:00
|
|
|
This allows apps to avoid having to use `gl_Position.y = -gl_Position.y`

in shaders also targeting other APIs.
|
|
|
|
|
* Allow implementations to express support for doing just transfers and
|
|
|
|
|
clears of image formats that they otherwise support no other format
|
|
|
|
|
features for.
|
|
|
|
|
This is done by adding new format feature flags
|
|
|
|
|
ename:VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_TRANSFER_SRC_BIT_KHR and
|
|
|
|
|
ename:VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_TRANSFER_DST_BIT_KHR.
|
|
|
|
|
* Support flink:vkCmdFillBuffer on transfer-only queues.
|
|
|
|
|
Previously flink:vkCmdFillBuffer was defined to only work on command
|
|
|
|
|
buffers allocated from command pools which support graphics or compute
|
|
|
|
|
queues.
|
|
|
|
|
It is now allowed on queues that just support transfer operations.
|
|
|
|
|
* Fix the inconsistency of how error conditions are returned between the
|
|
|
|
|
flink:vkCreateGraphicsPipelines and flink:vkCreateComputePipelines
|
|
|
|
|
functions and the flink:vkAllocateDescriptorSets and
|
|
|
|
|
flink:vkAllocateCommandBuffers functions.
|
|
|
|
|
* Add new ename:VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_POOL_MEMORY_KHR error so implementations
|
|
|
|
|
can give a more precise reason for flink:vkAllocateDescriptorSets
|
|
|
|
|
failures.
|
|
|
|
|
* Add a new command flink:vkTrimCommandPoolKHR which gives the
|
|
|
|
|
implementation an opportunity to release any unused command pool memory
|
|
|
|
|
back to the system.

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`

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

(internal issue 613).
* Improve consistency of markup and formatting in extension appendices
(internal issue 631).
Other Issues:

* 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 March 16, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.71 spec update:
* First public update for Vulkan 1.1.
Github Issues:
* Refer to standard sparse image block shape format tables explicitly in
the <<sparsememory-standard-shapes, Standard Sparse Image Block Shapes>>
section (public issue 93).
* Add the missing definition of the code:LocalInvocationIndex decoration
in the <<interfaces-builtin-variables, Built-In Variables>> section
(public issue 532).
* Clarify dynamic state definition in the introduction to the <<pipelines,
Pipelines>> section and the new <<pipelines-dynamic-state, Dynamic
State>> subsection (public issue 620).
* Clarified deprecation statement in the `VK_AMD_negative_viewport_height`
appendix (public issue 674).
* Fix parameter descriptions for flink:vkCreateIndirectCommandsLayoutNVX
(public issue 677).
Internal Issues:
* Remove description of <<primsrast-points, rasterization point size>>
being taken from the tessellation control shader, since there are no
circumstances under which you can have TCS without TES (internal issue
522).
* Define <<copies-images-format-size-compatibility, _size-compatible_
image formats>> for flink:vkCmdCopyImage, add it to the glossary, and
use that definition for slink:VkImageViewCreateInfo (internal issue
771).
* Change brief descriptions of enumerant names, and of parameters which
are enumerants, from "`enum *indicates*`" to "`enum *specifies*`" for
consistency, and add a markup style guide rule (internal issue 862).
* Clarify how execution dependencies interact with
<<synchronization-submission-order, submission order>> at numerous
places in the <<renderpass, Render Pass>> and <<synchronization,
Synchronization>> chapters (internal issue 1062).
* Clarify statement in the <<interfaces-resources-setandbinding,
DescriptorSet and Binding Assignment>> section that only interface
variables statically used by the entry point used in a pipeline must be
present in the descriptor set layout (internal issue 1172).
* Flip sparse image diagrams with partially full mip levels vertically, to
match graph origins of other image diagrams (internal issue 1176).
* Update new SVG diagrams to have consistent style and base font size,
increase consistency of primitive topology diagrams, and add a section
to the style guide on creating and editing images in a consistent style
(internal issue 1177).
* Resolve problems with valid usage statement extraction by fixing
existing VUID tags for interfaces promoted to version 1.1 and fixing
conditional directives around
VUID-VkMemoryDedicatedAllocateInfo-image-01797 (internal issue 1184).
* Strip `KHR` suffixes from a few interfaces promoted to Vulkan 1.1 that
were missed previously (internal issue 1185).
* Restrict code:OpImageQuerySizeLod and code:OpImageQueryLevels to only
work on code:Image operands with their code:Sampled operand set to 1. In
other words, these operations are not defined to work with storage
images (internal issue 1193).
* Recycle extension slot for extension #82 in `vk.xml`. This extension was
never published (internal issue 1195).
* Add an issue to the `VK_KHR_maintenance1` appendix noting that zero
height viewports are allowed when this extension is enabled (internal
issue 1202).
* Fix slink:VkDescriptorSetLayoutBinding description so that shader stages
always use descriptor bindings, not the other way around (internal issue
1206).
* Fix field name for
slink:VkInputAttachmentAspectReference::pname:inputAttachmentIndex
(internal issue 1210).
Other Issues:
* Fix a few broken links in the <<versions-1.1, Version 1.1>> appendix.
* Replace a few old refBegin/refEnd tags with open block markup around
interfaces, and remove old KHX VUID tags that were breaking the valid
usage statement extraction.
* Fix error codes accidentally tagged as success codes in `vk.xml` for
flink:vkGetSwapchainCounterEXT.
* Added valid usage statements for ftext:vkBind*Memory2 input structures
stext:VkBind*MemoryInfo, and fix a pname:image -> pname:buffer typo in a
couple of places.
* Fix swapped descriptions of elink:VkDescriptorType enums
ename:VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_SAMPLED_IMAGE and
ename:VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_IMAGE (reported via tweet).
New Extensions:
* `VK_ANDROID_external_memory_android_hardware_buffer`

* 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 March 16, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.71 spec update:
* First public update for Vulkan 1.1.
Github Issues:
* Refer to standard sparse image block shape format tables explicitly in
the <<sparsememory-standard-shapes, Standard Sparse Image Block Shapes>>
section (public issue 93).
* Add the missing definition of the code:LocalInvocationIndex decoration
in the <<interfaces-builtin-variables, Built-In Variables>> section
(public issue 532).
* Clarify dynamic state definition in the introduction to the <<pipelines,
Pipelines>> section and the new <<pipelines-dynamic-state, Dynamic
State>> subsection (public issue 620).
* Clarified deprecation statement in the `VK_AMD_negative_viewport_height`
appendix (public issue 674).
* Fix parameter descriptions for flink:vkCreateIndirectCommandsLayoutNVX
(public issue 677).
Internal Issues:
* Remove description of <<primsrast-points, rasterization point size>>
being taken from the tessellation control shader, since there are no
circumstances under which you can have TCS without TES (internal issue
522).
* Define <<copies-images-format-size-compatibility, _size-compatible_
image formats>> for flink:vkCmdCopyImage, add it to the glossary, and
use that definition for slink:VkImageViewCreateInfo (internal issue
771).
* Change brief descriptions of enumerant names, and of parameters which
are enumerants, from "`enum *indicates*`" to "`enum *specifies*`" for
consistency, and add a markup style guide rule (internal issue 862).
* Clarify how execution dependencies interact with
<<synchronization-submission-order, submission order>> at numerous
places in the <<renderpass, Render Pass>> and <<synchronization,
Synchronization>> chapters (internal issue 1062).
* Clarify statement in the <<interfaces-resources-setandbinding,
DescriptorSet and Binding Assignment>> section that only interface
variables statically used by the entry point used in a pipeline must be
present in the descriptor set layout (internal issue 1172).
* Flip sparse image diagrams with partially full mip levels vertically, to
match graph origins of other image diagrams (internal issue 1176).
* Update new SVG diagrams to have consistent style and base font size,
increase consistency of primitive topology diagrams, and add a section
to the style guide on creating and editing images in a consistent style
(internal issue 1177).
* Resolve problems with valid usage statement extraction by fixing
existing VUID tags for interfaces promoted to version 1.1 and fixing
conditional directives around
VUID-VkMemoryDedicatedAllocateInfo-image-01797 (internal issue 1184).
* Strip `KHR` suffixes from a few interfaces promoted to Vulkan 1.1 that
were missed previously (internal issue 1185).
* Restrict code:OpImageQuerySizeLod and code:OpImageQueryLevels to only
work on code:Image operands with their code:Sampled operand set to 1. In
other words, these operations are not defined to work with storage
images (internal issue 1193).
* Recycle extension slot for extension #82 in `vk.xml`. This extension was
never published (internal issue 1195).
* Add an issue to the `VK_KHR_maintenance1` appendix noting that zero
height viewports are allowed when this extension is enabled (internal
issue 1202).
* Fix slink:VkDescriptorSetLayoutBinding description so that shader stages
always use descriptor bindings, not the other way around (internal issue
1206).
* Fix field name for
slink:VkInputAttachmentAspectReference::pname:inputAttachmentIndex
(internal issue 1210).
Other Issues:
* Fix a few broken links in the <<versions-1.1, Version 1.1>> appendix.
* Replace a few old refBegin/refEnd tags with open block markup around
interfaces, and remove old KHX VUID tags that were breaking the valid
usage statement extraction.
* Fix error codes accidentally tagged as success codes in `vk.xml` for
flink:vkGetSwapchainCounterEXT.
* Added valid usage statements for ftext:vkBind*Memory2 input structures
stext:VkBind*MemoryInfo, and fix a pname:image -> pname:buffer typo in a
couple of places.
* Fix swapped descriptions of elink:VkDescriptorType enums
ename:VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_SAMPLED_IMAGE and
ename:VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_IMAGE (reported via tweet).
New Extensions:
* `VK_ANDROID_external_memory_android_hardware_buffer`
