Change log for January 05, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.97 spec update: * Update release number to 97. Public Issues: * Add a special case to the <<renderpass-compatibility, Render Pass Compatibility>> rules allowing single-subpass renderpasses to be compatible even if they have different resolve attachment references (public issue 835). * Fix the miss shader binding table record address rule in the <<shader-binding-table-indexing-rules, Miss Shaders>> section to index by code:missIndex, not code:sbtOffset (public issue 875). Internal Issues: * Add a missing anchor to the elink:VkSamplerCreateFlagBits language (internal issue 1483). * Add missing implicit valid usage include for slink:VkHdrMetadataEXT and corresponding `noautovalidity` attributes in `vk.xml` for the externally-defined metadata properties (internal issue 1514). * Remove restrictions on the `mask` parameter of SPIR-V's code:OpGroupNonUniformXor in the <<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a Module>> appendix (internal merge request 2971). * Restore `noautovalidity` attribute for slink:VkPipelineViewportWScalingStateCreateInfoNV::pname:pViewportWScalings in `vk.xml` (internal merge request 2975). * Update copyright dates on Khronos-copyrighted files to 2019 (internal merge request 2980). New Extensions: * `VK_KHR_depth_stencil_resolve` * `VK_EXT_buffer_device_address` * `VK_EXT_memory_budget` * `VK_EXT_memory_priority` * `VK_EXT_validation_features`

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 The `1.0` branch is out of date and will not be maintained, since we will be generating both 1.1 and 1.0 specifications from the `master` branch in the future.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`

New minor versions of the Vulkan API are defined periodically by the Khronos
Vulkan Working Group.
These consist of some amount of additional functionality added to the core
Change log for February 17, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.101 spec update: * Update release number to 101. Public Issues: * Make clear that memory types for imported host memory must be host visible in slink:VkMemoryHostPointerPropertiesEXT.txt (public issue 897). * Make <<interfaces-resources-layout, WARNING block>> into a NOTE block, per the styleguide (public pull request 916). Internal Issues: * Make <<textures-output-format-conversion, computation of derivatives in non-uniform flow control>> have undefined behavior (internal issue 1367). * Make behavior, not just values, undefined for <<textures-layout-validation, reads from inconsistent YCbCr layouts>> (internal issue 1366). * Consolidate version and extension behavior documentation in the <<extended-functionality, Extended Functionality>> appendix, While a great deal of text was moved from other parts of the Specification into the appendix, this just serves to simplify and make consistent discussions of versions and extensions (internal issue 1473). * Add limits for slink:VkPhysicalDeviceRayTracingPropertiesNV in the <<features-limits-types, Required Limit Types>> and <<features-limits-required, Required Limits>> tables (internal issue 1511). * Disallow <<memory-protected-memory, indirect calls within protected command buffers>> by adding valid usage statements for the related indirect dispatch and draw commands (internal issue 1513). * Add valid usage stataements to slink:VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo, slink:VkSubpassDescription, slink:VkSubpassDescription2KHR, slink:VkSubpassDescriptionDepthStencilResolveKHR, and slink:VkImageViewCreateInfo preventing the creation of a renderpass with attachments in formats that are not supported for rendering (internal issue 1552). * Qualify valid usage statements for slink:VkAttachmentReference::pname:layout parameter so restrictions only apply if an attachment is ename:VK_ATTACHMENT_UNUSED (internal issue 1561). * Add valid usage statement for flink:vkCmdDrawIndirectByteCountEXT restricting pname:vertexStride to be positive (internal issue 1566). * Make the `VK_EXT_sample_locations` extension depend on `VK_KHR_get_physical_device_properties2` in `vk.xml`. * Rearrange and simplify the <<interfaces-resources-layout, block layout rules>>. New Extensions: * `VK_NV_cooperative_matrix` * `VK_EXT_depth_clip_enable` (internal issue 1485).

Change log for December 16, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.96 spec update: * Update release number to 96. Public Issues: * Fix typo in `vk.xml` for `structextends` attribute of slink:VkPhysicalDeviceShadingRateImagePropertiesNV (public PR 870). * Fix links in optimized PDF output (public PR 879). Internal Issues: * Add a link to GitHub contributors in the <<credits, Other Credits>> section (internal issue 808). * Clarify the behavior of command aliases described in the <<versions,Core Revisions>> and <<initialization-functionpointers, Command Function Pointers>> sections and the registry schema document with respect to whether they are or are not the same entry point, and what the behaviour of the ftext:vkGet*ProcAddr commands is for each alias (internal issue 1462). * Update slink:VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo valid usage statements for writing to code:Layer and code:viewportIndex to apply to any vertex processing stage (internal issue 1475). * Make sparse image creation optional for Y'C~B~C~R~ formats in the <<features-required-format-support, Required Format Support>> section and the <<features-formats-requiring-sampler-ycbcr-conversion, Formats requiring sampler Y'C~B~C~R~ conversion for ename:VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_COLOR_BIT image views>> table (internal issue 1476). * Modify the valid usage statement for flink:vkCmdDrawIndirectByteCountEXT::pname:vertexStride to use the pname:maxTransformFeedbackBufferDataStride limit rather than the pname:maxVertexInputBindingStride limit, which is a better match for transform feedback related operations (internal issue 1487). * Changed all members of slink:VkPhysicalDevicePCIBusInfoPropertiesEXT to have the `uint32_t` type. This is an imcompatible change to an EXT that's very recently released; although this is against usual Vulkan WG policy, we discussed and consider this an acceptable risk, but have polled the mesa-dev list in case there are use cases we missed (internal issue 1492). * Set spec vetsion to 1 for `VK_GOOGLE_hlsl_functionality1` and `VK_GOOGLE_decorate_string` in `vk.xml` (internal MR 2948). * Remove redundant valid usage statement `VkImageCreateInfo-pNext-02395` (internal MR 2950). * Add `check_spec_links.py` script, use it in Gitlab CI, and fix many minor markup issues discovered by the script (internal MR 2955). * Update `BUILD.md` to the current Ruby version (2.5.3), and make some corresponding updates to per-platform build instructions (internal MR 2956). * Fix binding numbers and other details in flink:vkUpdateDescriptorSetWithTemplate.txt example code blocks (internal MR 2960). * Remove some nautovalidity="true" in `vk.xml` for NV extensions where it's clearly wrong (internal MR 2970).

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.

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).

Change log for March 3, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.102 spec update: * Update release number to 102. Public Issues: * Simplify flink:vkGetImageMemoryRequirements constraint for ename:VK_MEMORY_PROPERTY_LAZILY_ALLOCATED_BIT (public pull request 817). * Fix typo in markup of the <<textures-texel-coordinate-systems-diagrams, Texel Coordinate Systems, Corner Sampling>> image that was generating complaints from chunked HTML output generation (public pull request 928). Internal Issues: * Split the old <<features, Features>> chapter into four chapters: <<features, Features>>, <<limits, Limits>>, <<formats, Formats>>, and <<capabilities, Capabilities>>, with minor edits to the introductory paragraph of each chapter. Anchor names in these chapters were changed, with corresponding effects to xrefs to these anchors elsewhere in spec markup . The purpose is to make the chunked HTML spec output load faster on what was previously a single, gigantic chapter (internal issue 1554). * Add ename:VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_RAY_TRACING_SHADER_BIT_NV, to the supported pipeline stages for ename:VK_ACCESS_UNIFORM_READ, ename:VK_ACCESS_SHADER_READ, and ename:VK_ACCESS_SHADER_WRITE in the <<synchronization-access-types-supported>> table. * Correct legal name of Google, LLC in vk.xml \<tags> section and a copyright statement. * Clarify that Vulkan treats the Android code:AHARDWAREBUFFER_FORMAT_R8G8B8X8_UNORM format as RGBA, and the application is responsible for forcing the X/A component to be read as 1.0, in the <<memory-external-android-hardware-buffer-formats>> table. * Clarify the vertex order of various primitive topologies, and define the order of transform feedback vertex capture based on that. This involves a lot of refactoring and cleanup in the <<drawing-primitive-topologies, Primitive Topologies>>, <<geometry-input, Geometry Shader Input Primitives>> sections, and <<vertexpostproc-transform-feedback Transform Feedback>> sections, and numerous places in the <<tessellation>> chapter, New Extensions: * `VK_EXT_metal_surface` * `VK_EXT_ycbcr_image_arrays` (internal issue 1361). * `VK_NVX_image_view_handle`

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`

Additionally, Vulkan 1.1 added support for
<<VkPhysicalDeviceSubgroupProperties, subgroup operations>>,
<<VkPhysicalDeviceProtectedMemoryFeatures, protected memory>>, and a new
command to <<vkEnumerateInstanceVersion, enumerate the instance version>>.

Change log for April 7, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.106 spec update: * Update release number to 106. Public Issues: * Add searchbox and generate search index for the chunked HTML target. Note that doing this requires several new toolchain components to build the `chunked` target (public issue 578 / internal issue 1352). * Remove descriptions of flink:vkCreateSampler sampler constraints which were repeated in the valid usage statements (public pull request 648). * Fix sense of conditional around a valid usage statement in the <<copies>> chapter (public issue 942). Internal Issues: * Add missing pname:extent.width and pname:extent.height valid usage statements for flink:vkCmdClearAttachments (internal issue 1583). * Fix some inconsistencies in structures and corresponding pname:sType enumerant names by renaming sname:VkPhysicalDeviceShaderDrawParameterFeatures -> slink:slink:VkPhysicalDeviceShaderDrawParametersFeatures; sname:VkPhysicalDeviceVariablePointerFeatures -> slink:VkPhysicalDeviceVariablePointerFeatures; sname:VkPhysicalDeviceVariablePointerFeaturesKHR -> slink:VkPhysicalDeviceVariablePointerFeaturesKHR; sname:VkPhysicalDeviceBufferAddressFeaturesEXT -> slink:VkPhysicalDeviceBufferDeviceAddressFeaturesEXT; etext:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_SHADER_DRAW_PARAMETER_FEATURES -> ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_SHADER_DRAW_PARAMETERS_FEATURES; etext:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_VARIABLE_POINTER_FEATURES -> ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_VARIABLE_POINTERS_FEATURES; etext:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_VARIABLE_POINTER_FEATURES_KHR -> ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_VARIABLE_POINTERS_FEATURES_KHR; and etext:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_BUFFER_ADDRESS_FEATURES_EXT -> ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_BUFFER_DEVICE_ADDRESS_FEATURES_EXT. The old names are still available as aliases for backwards compatibility. This change required introducing valid XML markup which externally written XML processing scripts may need to be modified to accomodate, to support multiple aliases of a single command or token name (internal issue 1592). * Add slink:VkDevice as the first parameter to flink:vkSetLocalDimmingAMD (internal issue 1618). * Improve CI header compilation tests to test all Vulkan platform includes, using fake platform headers where needed, and change the `allchecks` Makefile target to use the more comprehensive `check_spec_links.py` script instead of the retired `checkinc` and `checklinks` targets. * Move descriptions of the ASTC compressed texture decode mode from the <<appendix-compressedtex-astc,appendix>> to the recently updated external Khronos Data Format Specification. * Fix minor markup and spelling issues in the `VK_NV_ray_tracing` extension.

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`

Internal Issues: * Add a link to GitHub contributors in the <<credits, Other Credits>> section (internal issue 808). * Clarify the behavior of command aliases described in the <<versions,Core Revisions>> and <<initialization-functionpointers, Command Function Pointers>> sections and the registry schema document with respect to whether they are or are not the same entry point, and what the behaviour of the ftext:vkGet*ProcAddr commands is for each alias (internal issue 1462). * Update slink:VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo valid usage statements for writing to code:Layer and code:viewportIndex to apply to any vertex processing stage (internal issue 1475). * Make sparse image creation optional for Y'C~B~C~R~ formats in the <<features-required-format-support, Required Format Support>> section and the <<features-formats-requiring-sampler-ycbcr-conversion, Formats requiring sampler Y'C~B~C~R~ conversion for ename:VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_COLOR_BIT image views>> table (internal issue 1476). * Modify the valid usage statement for flink:vkCmdDrawIndirectByteCountEXT::pname:vertexStride to use the pname:maxTransformFeedbackBufferDataStride limit rather than the pname:maxVertexInputBindingStride limit, which is a better match for transform feedback related operations (internal issue 1487). * Changed all members of slink:VkPhysicalDevicePCIBusInfoPropertiesEXT to have the `uint32_t` type. This is an imcompatible change to an EXT that's very recently released; although this is against usual Vulkan WG policy, we discussed and consider this an acceptable risk, but have polled the mesa-dev list in case there are use cases we missed (internal issue 1492). * Set spec vetsion to 1 for `VK_GOOGLE_hlsl_functionality1` and `VK_GOOGLE_decorate_string` in `vk.xml` (internal MR 2948). * Remove redundant valid usage statement `VkImageCreateInfo-pNext-02395` (internal MR 2950). * Add `check_spec_links.py` script, use it in Gitlab CI, and fix many minor markup issues discovered by the script (internal MR 2955). * Update `BUILD.md` to the current Ruby version (2.5.3), and make some corresponding updates to per-platform build instructions (internal MR 2956). * Fix binding numbers and other details in flink:vkUpdateDescriptorSetWithTemplate.txt example code blocks (internal MR 2960). * Remove some nautovalidity="true" in `vk.xml` for NV extensions where it's clearly wrong (internal MR 2970).

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.

Change log for April 7, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.106 spec update: * Update release number to 106. Public Issues: * Add searchbox and generate search index for the chunked HTML target. Note that doing this requires several new toolchain components to build the `chunked` target (public issue 578 / internal issue 1352). * Remove descriptions of flink:vkCreateSampler sampler constraints which were repeated in the valid usage statements (public pull request 648). * Fix sense of conditional around a valid usage statement in the <<copies>> chapter (public issue 942). Internal Issues: * Add missing pname:extent.width and pname:extent.height valid usage statements for flink:vkCmdClearAttachments (internal issue 1583). * Fix some inconsistencies in structures and corresponding pname:sType enumerant names by renaming sname:VkPhysicalDeviceShaderDrawParameterFeatures -> slink:slink:VkPhysicalDeviceShaderDrawParametersFeatures; sname:VkPhysicalDeviceVariablePointerFeatures -> slink:VkPhysicalDeviceVariablePointerFeatures; sname:VkPhysicalDeviceVariablePointerFeaturesKHR -> slink:VkPhysicalDeviceVariablePointerFeaturesKHR; sname:VkPhysicalDeviceBufferAddressFeaturesEXT -> slink:VkPhysicalDeviceBufferDeviceAddressFeaturesEXT; etext:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_SHADER_DRAW_PARAMETER_FEATURES -> ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_SHADER_DRAW_PARAMETERS_FEATURES; etext:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_VARIABLE_POINTER_FEATURES -> ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_VARIABLE_POINTERS_FEATURES; etext:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_VARIABLE_POINTER_FEATURES_KHR -> ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_VARIABLE_POINTERS_FEATURES_KHR; and etext:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_BUFFER_ADDRESS_FEATURES_EXT -> ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_BUFFER_DEVICE_ADDRESS_FEATURES_EXT. The old names are still available as aliases for backwards compatibility. This change required introducing valid XML markup which externally written XML processing scripts may need to be modified to accomodate, to support multiple aliases of a single command or token name (internal issue 1592). * Add slink:VkDevice as the first parameter to flink:vkSetLocalDimmingAMD (internal issue 1618). * Improve CI header compilation tests to test all Vulkan platform includes, using fake platform headers where needed, and change the `allchecks` Makefile target to use the more comprehensive `check_spec_links.py` script instead of the retired `checkinc` and `checklinks` targets. * Move descriptions of the ASTC compressed texture decode mode from the <<appendix-compressedtex-astc,appendix>> to the recently updated external Khronos Data Format Specification. * Fix minor markup and spelling issues in the `VK_NV_ray_tracing` extension.

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.
