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 The `1.0` branch is out of date and will not be maintained, since we will be generating both 1.1 and 1.0 specifications from the `master` branch in the future.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

Change log for 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 April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112). New Extensions: * `<<VK_EXT_headless_surface>>`

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`

debug_utils: Fix issues discovered by @krOoze (#794) Fixing a few items discovered by @krOoze with the EXT_debug_utils extension spec language validation. Namely in two issues: Issue #789: The problem was the manual VUs should have been applied to the `vkSetDebugUtilsObjectNameEXT` command and not the general `VkDebugUtilsObjectNameInfoEXT` structure. Issue #790: Here, we needed to remove the "noautovalidity" tag on the XML and add the "optional" tag to `pObjects` and `objectCount`.

Change log for April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112).

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`

The spec still allows use of the sample rate as the value used to calculate the LOD, but no longer requires it. * Update `vulkan_ext.c` to include all platform-related definitions from the Vulkan platform headers, following the split of the headers into platform-specific and non-platform-specific files. * Fix bogus anchor name in the <<commandbuffers, Command Buffers>> chapter which accidentally duplicated an anchor in the pipelines chapter. There were no reference to this anchor, fortunately. * Add valid usage statement for slink:VkWriteDescriptorSet and slink:VkCopyDescriptorSet requiring that the slink:VkDescriptorSetLayout used to allocate the source and destination sets must not have been destroyed at the time flink:vkUpdateDescriptorSets is called. * Document mapping of subgroup barrier functions to SPIR-V, and clarify a place where subgroupBarrier sounds like it's execution-only in the standalone `GL_KHR_shader_subgroup` specification. * Use an HTML stylesheet derived from the Asciidoctor `colony` theme, with the default Arial font family replaced by the sans-serif Noto font family. * Numerous minor updates to README.adoc, build scripts, Makefiles, and registry and style guide specifications to support Vulkan 1.1 outputs, use them as defaults, and remove mention of `KHX` extensions, which are no longer supported. New Extensions: * `VK_EXT_vertex_attrib_divisor`

Change log for 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.

Change log for April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112). New Extensions: * `<<VK_EXT_headless_surface>>`

Update the registry schema and schema specification to match (internal issue 1011). * Updated the <<textures-texel-replacement, Texel Replacement>> section to clarify that reads from invalid texels for image resources result in undefined values (internal issue 1014). * Modify description of patch version so it continues to increment across minor version changes (internal issue 1033). * Clarify and unify language describing physical device-level core and extension functionality in the <<fundamentals-validusage-extensions, Valid Usage for Extensions>>, <<fundamentals-validusage-versions, Valid Usage for Newer Core Versions>>, <<initialization-functionpointers Command Function Pointers>>, <<initialization-phys-dev-extensions, Extending Physical Device From Device Extensions>> <<extended-functionality-instance-extensions-and-devices, Instance Extensions and Device Extensions>> sections and for flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties2. This documents that instance-level functionality is tied to the loader, and independent of the ICD; physical device-level functionality is tied to the ICD, and associated with device extensions; physical devices are treated more uniformly between core and extensions; and instance and physical versions can be different (internal issue 1048). * Updated the <<commandbuffers-lifecycle, Command Buffer Lifecycle>> section to clarify the ability for pending command buffers to transition to the invalid state after submission, and add a command buffer lifecycle diagram (internal issue 1050). * Clarify that some flink:VkDescriptorUpdateTemplateCreateInfo parameters are ignored when push descriptors are not supported (internal issue 1054). * Specify that flink:vkCreateImage will return an error if the image is too large, in a NOTE in the slink:VkImageFormatProperties description (internal issue 1078). * Remove near-duplicate NOTEs about when to query function pointers dynamically in the <<initialization, Initialization>> chapter and replace by extending the NOTE in the <<fundamentals-abi, Application Binary Interface>> section (internal issue 1085). * Restore missing references to "`Sparse Resource Features`" in the flink:VkBufferCreateFlagBits description (internal issue 1086). * Tidy up definitions of descriptor types in the `GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl` specification, the <<descriptorsets, Resource Descriptors>> section and its subsections, and the <<interfaces-resources-descset, Descriptor Set Interface>> for consistency, reduction of duplicate information, and removal of GLSL correspondance/examples (internal issue 1090). * Correctly describe code:PrimitiveId as an Input for tessellation control and evaluation shaders, not an Output (internal issue 1109). * Relax the requirements on chroma offsets for nearest filtering in <<textures-implict-reconstruction, Implicit Reconstruction>> (internal issue 1116). Other Issues: * Clarify the intended relationship between specification language and certain terms defined in the Khronos Intellectual Property Rights policy. Specific changes include: ** Rewrote IP/Copyright preamble and introduction to better agree with normative language both as laid out in the introduction, and the Khronos IPR policy. ** Added notion of fully informative sections, which are now tagged with "`(Informative)`" in their titles. ** Removed non-normative uses of the phrase "`not required`" ** Clarified the distinction between terms "`optional`" and "`not required:`" as they relate to the IPR Policy, and updated specification text to use terms consistent with the intent. ** Reduced additions to RFC 2119, and ensured the specification agreed with the leaner language. ** Removed the terms "`hardware`", "`software`", "`CPU`", and "`GPU`" from normative text. ** Moved several paragraphs that should not have been normative to informative notes. ** Clarified a number of definitions in the Glossary. ** Updated the document writing guide to match new terminology changes. * Explicitly state in the <<fundamentals-objectmodel-lifetime-acquire, application memory lifetime>> language that that for objects other than descriptor sets, a slink:VkDescriptorSetLayout object used in the creation of another object (such as slink:VkPipelineLayout or slink:VkDescriptorUpdateTemplateKHR) is only in use during the creation of that object and can be safely destroyed afterwards. * Updated the <<textures-scale-factor, Scale Factor Operation>> section to use the ratio of anisotropy, rather than the integer sample rate, to perform the LOD calculation. The spec still allows use of the sample rate as the value used to calculate the LOD, but no longer requires it. * Update `vulkan_ext.c` to include all platform-related definitions from the Vulkan platform headers, following the split of the headers into platform-specific and non-platform-specific files. * Fix bogus anchor name in the <<commandbuffers, Command Buffers>> chapter which accidentally duplicated an anchor in the pipelines chapter. There were no reference to this anchor, fortunately. * Add valid usage statement for slink:VkWriteDescriptorSet and slink:VkCopyDescriptorSet requiring that the slink:VkDescriptorSetLayout used to allocate the source and destination sets must not have been destroyed at the time flink:vkUpdateDescriptorSets is called. * Document mapping of subgroup barrier functions to SPIR-V, and clarify a place where subgroupBarrier sounds like it's execution-only in the standalone `GL_KHR_shader_subgroup` specification. * Use an HTML stylesheet derived from the Asciidoctor `colony` theme, with the default Arial font family replaced by the sans-serif Noto font family. * Numerous minor updates to README.adoc, build scripts, Makefiles, and registry and style guide specifications to support Vulkan 1.1 outputs, use them as defaults, and remove mention of `KHX` extensions, which are no longer supported. New Extensions: * `VK_EXT_vertex_attrib_divisor`

Change log for April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112). New Extensions: * `<<VK_EXT_headless_surface>>`

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.

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).

==== Object Data Association
In addition to setting a name for an object, debugging and validation layers
may: have uses for additional binary data on a per-object basis that have no
other place in the Vulkan API.
For example, a sname:VkShaderModule could have additional debugging data
attached to it to aid in offline shader tracing.
Additional data can be attached to an object by calling
fname:vkSetDebugUtilsObjectTagEXT as defined below.

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

Change log for April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112). New Extensions: * `<<VK_EXT_headless_surface>>`

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

Change log for April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112).

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`

debug_utils: Fix issues discovered by @krOoze (#794) Fixing a few items discovered by @krOoze with the EXT_debug_utils extension spec language validation. Namely in two issues: Issue #789: The problem was the manual VUs should have been applied to the `vkSetDebugUtilsObjectNameEXT` command and not the general `VkDebugUtilsObjectNameInfoEXT` structure. Issue #790: Here, we needed to remove the "noautovalidity" tag on the XML and add the "optional" tag to `pObjects` and `objectCount`.

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).

Change log for April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112).

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`

[[debugging-queue-labels]]
=== Queue Labels
All Vulkan work must be submitted using queues.
It is possible for an application to use multiple queues, each containing
multiple command buffers, when performing work.
It can be useful to identify which queue, or even where in a queue,
something has occurred.
To begin identifying a region using a debug label inside a queue, you may
use the flink:vkQueueBeginDebugUtilsLabelEXT command.
Then, when the region of interest has passed, you may end the label region
using flink:vkQueueEndDebugUtilsLabelEXT.
Additionally, a single debug label may be inserted at any time using
flink:vkQueueInsertDebugUtilsLabelEXT.

Change log for April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112).

Specific changes include: ** Rewrote IP/Copyright preamble and introduction to better agree with normative language both as laid out in the introduction, and the Khronos IPR policy. ** Added notion of fully informative sections, which are now tagged with "`(Informative)`" in their titles. ** Removed non-normative uses of the phrase "`not required`" ** Clarified the distinction between terms "`optional`" and "`not required:`" as they relate to the IPR Policy, and updated specification text to use terms consistent with the intent. ** Reduced additions to RFC 2119, and ensured the specification agreed with the leaner language. ** Removed the terms "`hardware`", "`software`", "`CPU`", and "`GPU`" from normative text. ** Moved several paragraphs that should not have been normative to informative notes. ** Clarified a number of definitions in the Glossary. ** Updated the document writing guide to match new terminology changes. * Explicitly state in the <<fundamentals-objectmodel-lifetime-acquire, application memory lifetime>> language that that for objects other than descriptor sets, a slink:VkDescriptorSetLayout object used in the creation of another object (such as slink:VkPipelineLayout or slink:VkDescriptorUpdateTemplateKHR) is only in use during the creation of that object and can be safely destroyed afterwards. * Updated the <<textures-scale-factor, Scale Factor Operation>> section to use the ratio of anisotropy, rather than the integer sample rate, to perform the LOD calculation. The spec still allows use of the sample rate as the value used to calculate the LOD, but no longer requires it. * Update `vulkan_ext.c` to include all platform-related definitions from the Vulkan platform headers, following the split of the headers into platform-specific and non-platform-specific files. * Fix bogus anchor name in the <<commandbuffers, Command Buffers>> chapter which accidentally duplicated an anchor in the pipelines chapter. There were no reference to this anchor, fortunately. * Add valid usage statement for slink:VkWriteDescriptorSet and slink:VkCopyDescriptorSet requiring that the slink:VkDescriptorSetLayout used to allocate the source and destination sets must not have been destroyed at the time flink:vkUpdateDescriptorSets is called. * Document mapping of subgroup barrier functions to SPIR-V, and clarify a place where subgroupBarrier sounds like it's execution-only in the standalone `GL_KHR_shader_subgroup` specification. * Use an HTML stylesheet derived from the Asciidoctor `colony` theme, with the default Arial font family replaced by the sans-serif Noto font family. * Numerous minor updates to README.adoc, build scripts, Makefiles, and registry and style guide specifications to support Vulkan 1.1 outputs, use them as defaults, and remove mention of `KHX` extensions, which are no longer supported. New Extensions: * `VK_EXT_vertex_attrib_divisor`

Change log for April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112). New Extensions: * `<<VK_EXT_headless_surface>>`

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).

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`.

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

Change log for April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112). New Extensions: * `<<VK_EXT_headless_surface>>`

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.

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`

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 April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112).

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

Change log for April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112). New Extensions: * `<<VK_EXT_headless_surface>>`

Specific changes include: ** Rewrote IP/Copyright preamble and introduction to better agree with normative language both as laid out in the introduction, and the Khronos IPR policy. ** Added notion of fully informative sections, which are now tagged with "`(Informative)`" in their titles. ** Removed non-normative uses of the phrase "`not required`" ** Clarified the distinction between terms "`optional`" and "`not required:`" as they relate to the IPR Policy, and updated specification text to use terms consistent with the intent. ** Reduced additions to RFC 2119, and ensured the specification agreed with the leaner language. ** Removed the terms "`hardware`", "`software`", "`CPU`", and "`GPU`" from normative text. ** Moved several paragraphs that should not have been normative to informative notes. ** Clarified a number of definitions in the Glossary. ** Updated the document writing guide to match new terminology changes. * Explicitly state in the <<fundamentals-objectmodel-lifetime-acquire, application memory lifetime>> language that that for objects other than descriptor sets, a slink:VkDescriptorSetLayout object used in the creation of another object (such as slink:VkPipelineLayout or slink:VkDescriptorUpdateTemplateKHR) is only in use during the creation of that object and can be safely destroyed afterwards. * Updated the <<textures-scale-factor, Scale Factor Operation>> section to use the ratio of anisotropy, rather than the integer sample rate, to perform the LOD calculation. The spec still allows use of the sample rate as the value used to calculate the LOD, but no longer requires it. * Update `vulkan_ext.c` to include all platform-related definitions from the Vulkan platform headers, following the split of the headers into platform-specific and non-platform-specific files. * Fix bogus anchor name in the <<commandbuffers, Command Buffers>> chapter which accidentally duplicated an anchor in the pipelines chapter. There were no reference to this anchor, fortunately. * Add valid usage statement for slink:VkWriteDescriptorSet and slink:VkCopyDescriptorSet requiring that the slink:VkDescriptorSetLayout used to allocate the source and destination sets must not have been destroyed at the time flink:vkUpdateDescriptorSets is called. * Document mapping of subgroup barrier functions to SPIR-V, and clarify a place where subgroupBarrier sounds like it's execution-only in the standalone `GL_KHR_shader_subgroup` specification. * Use an HTML stylesheet derived from the Asciidoctor `colony` theme, with the default Arial font family replaced by the sans-serif Noto font family. * Numerous minor updates to README.adoc, build scripts, Makefiles, and registry and style guide specifications to support Vulkan 1.1 outputs, use them as defaults, and remove mention of `KHX` extensions, which are no longer supported. New Extensions: * `VK_EXT_vertex_attrib_divisor`

Change log for 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).

Change log for April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112).

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.

[[debugging-command-buffer-labels]]
=== Command Buffer Labels
Typical Vulkan applications will submit many command buffers in each frame,
with each command buffer containing a large number of individual commands.
Being able to logically annotate regions of command buffers that belong
together as well as hierarchically subdivide the frame is important to a
developer's ability to navigate the commands viewed holistically.
To identify the beginning of a debug label region in a command buffer,
flink:vkCmdBeginDebugUtilsLabelEXT can: be used as defined below.
To indicate the end of a debug label region in a command buffer,
flink:vkCmdEndDebugUtilsLabelEXT can: be used.
To insert a single command buffer debug label inside of a command buffer,
flink:vkCmdInsertDebugUtilsLabelEXT can: be used as defined below.

The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112). New Extensions: * `<<VK_EXT_headless_surface>>`

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

Change log for April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949).

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

Change log for April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112). New Extensions: * `<<VK_EXT_headless_surface>>`

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 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.

Change log for April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112). New Extensions: * `<<VK_EXT_headless_surface>>`

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: * 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 target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112).

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

Change log for 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).

=== Debug Messengers
Vulkan allows an application to register multiple callbacks with any Vulkan
component wishing to report debug information.
Some callbacks may log the information to a file, others may cause a debug
break point or other application defined behavior.
A primary producer of callback messages are the validation layers.
An application can: register callbacks even when no validation layers are
enabled, but they will only be called for the Vulkan loader and, if
implemented, other layer and driver events.

This documents that instance-level functionality is tied to the loader, and independent of the ICD; physical device-level functionality is tied to the ICD, and associated with device extensions; physical devices are treated more uniformly between core and extensions; and instance and physical versions can be different (internal issue 1048). * Updated the <<commandbuffers-lifecycle, Command Buffer Lifecycle>> section to clarify the ability for pending command buffers to transition to the invalid state after submission, and add a command buffer lifecycle diagram (internal issue 1050). * Clarify that some flink:VkDescriptorUpdateTemplateCreateInfo parameters are ignored when push descriptors are not supported (internal issue 1054). * Specify that flink:vkCreateImage will return an error if the image is too large, in a NOTE in the slink:VkImageFormatProperties description (internal issue 1078). * Remove near-duplicate NOTEs about when to query function pointers dynamically in the <<initialization, Initialization>> chapter and replace by extending the NOTE in the <<fundamentals-abi, Application Binary Interface>> section (internal issue 1085). * Restore missing references to "`Sparse Resource Features`" in the flink:VkBufferCreateFlagBits description (internal issue 1086). * Tidy up definitions of descriptor types in the `GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl` specification, the <<descriptorsets, Resource Descriptors>> section and its subsections, and the <<interfaces-resources-descset, Descriptor Set Interface>> for consistency, reduction of duplicate information, and removal of GLSL correspondance/examples (internal issue 1090). * Correctly describe code:PrimitiveId as an Input for tessellation control and evaluation shaders, not an Output (internal issue 1109). * Relax the requirements on chroma offsets for nearest filtering in <<textures-implict-reconstruction, Implicit Reconstruction>> (internal issue 1116). Other Issues: * Clarify the intended relationship between specification language and certain terms defined in the Khronos Intellectual Property Rights policy. Specific changes include: ** Rewrote IP/Copyright preamble and introduction to better agree with normative language both as laid out in the introduction, and the Khronos IPR policy. ** Added notion of fully informative sections, which are now tagged with "`(Informative)`" in their titles. ** Removed non-normative uses of the phrase "`not required`" ** Clarified the distinction between terms "`optional`" and "`not required:`" as they relate to the IPR Policy, and updated specification text to use terms consistent with the intent. ** Reduced additions to RFC 2119, and ensured the specification agreed with the leaner language. ** Removed the terms "`hardware`", "`software`", "`CPU`", and "`GPU`" from normative text. ** Moved several paragraphs that should not have been normative to informative notes. ** Clarified a number of definitions in the Glossary. ** Updated the document writing guide to match new terminology changes. * Explicitly state in the <<fundamentals-objectmodel-lifetime-acquire, application memory lifetime>> language that that for objects other than descriptor sets, a slink:VkDescriptorSetLayout object used in the creation of another object (such as slink:VkPipelineLayout or slink:VkDescriptorUpdateTemplateKHR) is only in use during the creation of that object and can be safely destroyed afterwards. * Updated the <<textures-scale-factor, Scale Factor Operation>> section to use the ratio of anisotropy, rather than the integer sample rate, to perform the LOD calculation. The spec still allows use of the sample rate as the value used to calculate the LOD, but no longer requires it. * Update `vulkan_ext.c` to include all platform-related definitions from the Vulkan platform headers, following the split of the headers into platform-specific and non-platform-specific files. * Fix bogus anchor name in the <<commandbuffers, Command Buffers>> chapter which accidentally duplicated an anchor in the pipelines chapter. There were no reference to this anchor, fortunately. * Add valid usage statement for slink:VkWriteDescriptorSet and slink:VkCopyDescriptorSet requiring that the slink:VkDescriptorSetLayout used to allocate the source and destination sets must not have been destroyed at the time flink:vkUpdateDescriptorSets is called. * Document mapping of subgroup barrier functions to SPIR-V, and clarify a place where subgroupBarrier sounds like it's execution-only in the standalone `GL_KHR_shader_subgroup` specification. * Use an HTML stylesheet derived from the Asciidoctor `colony` theme, with the default Arial font family replaced by the sans-serif Noto font family. * Numerous minor updates to README.adoc, build scripts, Makefiles, and registry and style guide specifications to support Vulkan 1.1 outputs, use them as defaults, and remove mention of `KHX` extensions, which are no longer supported. New Extensions: * `VK_EXT_vertex_attrib_divisor`

Change log for April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112). New Extensions: * `<<VK_EXT_headless_surface>>`

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.

Change log for July 1, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.79 spec update: * Update release number to 79. Public Issues: * Add a note to the <<features-required-format-support, Required Format Support>> section clarifying that the required formats don't depend on the used flags (public issue 671). * Add a valid usage statement for flink:vkUpdateDescriptors that was previously described for slink:VkImageSubresourceRange, but not as a valid usage statement (public issue 713). * Modify implicit valid usage generator script to not emit 'must: not be 0' for a parameter that is a pointer to a flags field, such as pname:pPeerMemoryFeatures (public issue 729). Internal Issues: * Add definitions of "`obsoleted`" and "`deprecated`", and modify the definition of "`promoted`" in the <<glossary, Glossary>> (internal issue 988). * Add language for integer texel output conversions (the conversion is undefined) to the <<textures-output-format-conversion]] Texel Output Format Conversion>> section. Simplify and clarify the floating-point conversion language in the <<fundamentals-general, General Requirements>> section and the new <<fundamentals-fp-conversion, Floating-Point Format Conversions>> section, and remove obsolete language in the format-specific floating-point sections (internal issue 1275). * Add the elink:VkVendorId enumerated type to the Vulkan API / XML / header, so reserved Khronos vendor IDs can be referred to symbolically by clients. Note that only Khronos vendor IDs (e.g. non-PCI vendor IDs) are defined (internal issue 1299). * Fix typo in the <<fig-non-strict-lines, Non strict lines>> table (internal issue 1315). * Clean up and simplify the <<features-formats-requiring-sampler-ycbcr-conversion, YCbCr format properties>> table and use symbols consistently with other tables. Add a column for the number of planes. * Add code:Float16 to the <<spirvenv-capabilities-table, List of optional SPIR-V capabilities>> for the `VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float` extension.

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`

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

Change log for 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.

Change log for April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112).

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

Change log for December 3, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.95 spec update: * Update release number to 95. Public Issues: * Fix valid usage and XML issues found in public issues 789 and 790 for the `VK_EXT_debug_utils` extension (public pull request 794). * Replace references to `VK_NV_dedicated_allocation` with links to the corresponding slink:slink:VkMemoryDedicatedRequirements and slink:slink:VkMemoryDedicatedAllocateInfo structures in the description of elink:VkExternalMemoryFeatureFlagBits (public issue 801). * Fix miscellaneous minor markup and spelling issues in `VK_NV_ray_tracing` extension (public pull request 860). * Remove "returnedonly" from XML for slink:VkPhysicalDeviceInlineUniformBlockFeaturesEXT and slink:VkPhysicalDeviceVulkanMemoryModelFeaturesKHR (public issue 862). Internal Issues: * Add to the description of the <<features-limits-maxComputeSharedMemorySize, pname:maxCompureSharedMemorySize>> feature to state the shared variables should be packed at least as tightly as std430 (internal issue 1386). * Fix and clarify various references to image and image view usage in flink:vkCmdBindShadingRateImageNV, flink:vkCmdBeginRenderPass, and slink:VkImageStencilUsageCreateInfoEXT (internal issue 1432). * Require that the slink:VkImage mipmap chain match the Android hardware buffer mipmap chain for slink:VkMemoryAllocateInfo (internal issue 1479). * Fix the definition of slink:VkSwapchainCreateInfoKHR valid usage statement 01778 (Vulkan-ValidationLayers!15) * Fix descriptions of <<interfaces-builtin-variables-launchid, code:LaunchIDNV>> and <<interfaces-builtin-variables-launchsize, code:LaunchSizeNV>> to code:uvec3. New Extensions: * `VK_KHR_shader_float16_int8` * `VK_KHR_shader_float_controls`

The application must: ensure that flink:vkCreateDebugUtilsMessengerEXT is
not executed in parallel with any Vulkan command that is also called with
debug_utils: Fix issues discovered by @krOoze (#794) Fixing a few items discovered by @krOoze with the EXT_debug_utils extension spec language validation. Namely in two issues: Issue #789: The problem was the manual VUs should have been applied to the `vkSetDebugUtilsObjectNameEXT` command and not the general `VkDebugUtilsObjectNameInfoEXT` structure. Issue #790: Here, we needed to remove the "noautovalidity" tag on the XML and add the "optional" tag to `pObjects` and `objectCount`.

pname:instance or child of pname:instance as the dispatchable argument.
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.

Specific changes include: ** Rewrote IP/Copyright preamble and introduction to better agree with normative language both as laid out in the introduction, and the Khronos IPR policy. ** Added notion of fully informative sections, which are now tagged with "`(Informative)`" in their titles. ** Removed non-normative uses of the phrase "`not required`" ** Clarified the distinction between terms "`optional`" and "`not required:`" as they relate to the IPR Policy, and updated specification text to use terms consistent with the intent. ** Reduced additions to RFC 2119, and ensured the specification agreed with the leaner language. ** Removed the terms "`hardware`", "`software`", "`CPU`", and "`GPU`" from normative text. ** Moved several paragraphs that should not have been normative to informative notes. ** Clarified a number of definitions in the Glossary. ** Updated the document writing guide to match new terminology changes. * Explicitly state in the <<fundamentals-objectmodel-lifetime-acquire, application memory lifetime>> language that that for objects other than descriptor sets, a slink:VkDescriptorSetLayout object used in the creation of another object (such as slink:VkPipelineLayout or slink:VkDescriptorUpdateTemplateKHR) is only in use during the creation of that object and can be safely destroyed afterwards. * Updated the <<textures-scale-factor, Scale Factor Operation>> section to use the ratio of anisotropy, rather than the integer sample rate, to perform the LOD calculation. The spec still allows use of the sample rate as the value used to calculate the LOD, but no longer requires it. * Update `vulkan_ext.c` to include all platform-related definitions from the Vulkan platform headers, following the split of the headers into platform-specific and non-platform-specific files. * Fix bogus anchor name in the <<commandbuffers, Command Buffers>> chapter which accidentally duplicated an anchor in the pipelines chapter. There were no reference to this anchor, fortunately. * Add valid usage statement for slink:VkWriteDescriptorSet and slink:VkCopyDescriptorSet requiring that the slink:VkDescriptorSetLayout used to allocate the source and destination sets must not have been destroyed at the time flink:vkUpdateDescriptorSets is called. * Document mapping of subgroup barrier functions to SPIR-V, and clarify a place where subgroupBarrier sounds like it's execution-only in the standalone `GL_KHR_shader_subgroup` specification. * Use an HTML stylesheet derived from the Asciidoctor `colony` theme, with the default Arial font family replaced by the sans-serif Noto font family. * Numerous minor updates to README.adoc, build scripts, Makefiles, and registry and style guide specifications to support Vulkan 1.1 outputs, use them as defaults, and remove mention of `KHX` extensions, which are no longer supported. New Extensions: * `VK_EXT_vertex_attrib_divisor`

Change log for April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112). New Extensions: * `<<VK_EXT_headless_surface>>`

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.

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`

them in a different way, log to a system error log, etc.).
An application can: receive multiple callbacks if multiple
sname:VkDebugUtilsMessengerEXT objects are created.
A callback will always be executed in the same thread as the originating
Vulkan call.
A callback can: be called from multiple threads simultaneously (if the
application is making Vulkan calls from multiple threads).

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.

Change log for April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112).

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

Change log for April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112). New Extensions: * `<<VK_EXT_headless_surface>>`

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`

* ename:VK_DEBUG_UTILS_MESSAGE_SEVERITY_VERBOSE_BIT_EXT specifies the most
verbose output indicating all diagnostic messages from the Vulkan
loader, layers, and drivers should be captured.
* ename:VK_DEBUG_UTILS_MESSAGE_SEVERITY_INFO_BIT_EXT specifies an
informational message such as resource details that may be handy when
debugging an application.
* ename:VK_DEBUG_UTILS_MESSAGE_SEVERITY_WARNING_BIT_EXT specifies use of
Vulkan that may: expose an app bug.
Such cases may not be immediately harmful, such as a fragment shader
outputting to a location with no attachment.
Other cases may: point to behavior that is almost certainly bad when
unintended such as using an image whose memory has not been filled.
In general if you see a warning but you know that the behavior is
intended/desired, then simply ignore the warning.
Change log for March 18, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.104 spec update: * Update release number to 104. Public Issues: * Remove the incorrect line from "`Initial`" to "`Invalid`" state in the <<commandbuffer-lifecycle-diagram, Lifecycle of a command buffer>> diagram (public issue 881). * Add Fuchsia platform to <<boilerplate-wsi-header-table, Window System Extensions and Headers>> table (public pull request 933). * Change the type of slink:VkBufferDeviceAddressCreateInfoEXT::pname:deviceAddress from basetype:VkDeviceSize to basetype:VkDeviceAddress. These are both typedefs of code:uint64_t, so it is an ABI-compatible change (public issue 934). Internal Issues: * Remove generated header files and update the CI tests to build a copy of the headers for use by the hpp-generate / hpp-compile CI stages. Targets to generate the headers will not be removed, but keeping these generated files in the repository increased the frequency of conflicts between branches when merging to master (internal issue 745). * Reword "`undefined: behavior if *action*" to "`must: not do *action*`" in the places the old terminology was used, and add a new <<writing-undefined, Describing Undefined Behavior>> section of the style guide to explain how to write such language in the future (internal issue 1579). * Move almost all Python scripts into the toplevel `scripts/` directory. Apply extensive internal edits to clean up and simplify the scripts, and try to follow PEP8 guidelines. Generalize the scripts with the use of a Conventions object controlling many aspects of output generation, to enable their use in other Khronos projects with similar requirements. Autogenerate extension interface refpages (these are experimental and may be retired going forward). New Extensions: * `VK_AMD_display_native_hdr` * `VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive` (internal issue 1439) * `VK_EXT_host_query_reset` * `VK_EXT_pipeline_creation_feedback` (internal issue 1560) * `VK_KHR_surface_protected_capabilities` (internal issue 1520)
2019-03-17 13:05:46 +00:00
* ename:VK_DEBUG_UTILS_MESSAGE_SEVERITY_ERROR_BIT_EXT specifies that the
application has violated a valid usage condition of the specification.
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).

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`

Update the registry schema and schema specification to match (internal issue 1011). * Updated the <<textures-texel-replacement, Texel Replacement>> section to clarify that reads from invalid texels for image resources result in undefined values (internal issue 1014). * Modify description of patch version so it continues to increment across minor version changes (internal issue 1033). * Clarify and unify language describing physical device-level core and extension functionality in the <<fundamentals-validusage-extensions, Valid Usage for Extensions>>, <<fundamentals-validusage-versions, Valid Usage for Newer Core Versions>>, <<initialization-functionpointers Command Function Pointers>>, <<initialization-phys-dev-extensions, Extending Physical Device From Device Extensions>> <<extended-functionality-instance-extensions-and-devices, Instance Extensions and Device Extensions>> sections and for flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties2. This documents that instance-level functionality is tied to the loader, and independent of the ICD; physical device-level functionality is tied to the ICD, and associated with device extensions; physical devices are treated more uniformly between core and extensions; and instance and physical versions can be different (internal issue 1048). * Updated the <<commandbuffers-lifecycle, Command Buffer Lifecycle>> section to clarify the ability for pending command buffers to transition to the invalid state after submission, and add a command buffer lifecycle diagram (internal issue 1050). * Clarify that some flink:VkDescriptorUpdateTemplateCreateInfo parameters are ignored when push descriptors are not supported (internal issue 1054). * Specify that flink:vkCreateImage will return an error if the image is too large, in a NOTE in the slink:VkImageFormatProperties description (internal issue 1078). * Remove near-duplicate NOTEs about when to query function pointers dynamically in the <<initialization, Initialization>> chapter and replace by extending the NOTE in the <<fundamentals-abi, Application Binary Interface>> section (internal issue 1085). * Restore missing references to "`Sparse Resource Features`" in the flink:VkBufferCreateFlagBits description (internal issue 1086). * Tidy up definitions of descriptor types in the `GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl` specification, the <<descriptorsets, Resource Descriptors>> section and its subsections, and the <<interfaces-resources-descset, Descriptor Set Interface>> for consistency, reduction of duplicate information, and removal of GLSL correspondance/examples (internal issue 1090). * Correctly describe code:PrimitiveId as an Input for tessellation control and evaluation shaders, not an Output (internal issue 1109). * Relax the requirements on chroma offsets for nearest filtering in <<textures-implict-reconstruction, Implicit Reconstruction>> (internal issue 1116). Other Issues: * Clarify the intended relationship between specification language and certain terms defined in the Khronos Intellectual Property Rights policy. Specific changes include: ** Rewrote IP/Copyright preamble and introduction to better agree with normative language both as laid out in the introduction, and the Khronos IPR policy. ** Added notion of fully informative sections, which are now tagged with "`(Informative)`" in their titles. ** Removed non-normative uses of the phrase "`not required`" ** Clarified the distinction between terms "`optional`" and "`not required:`" as they relate to the IPR Policy, and updated specification text to use terms consistent with the intent. ** Reduced additions to RFC 2119, and ensured the specification agreed with the leaner language. ** Removed the terms "`hardware`", "`software`", "`CPU`", and "`GPU`" from normative text. ** Moved several paragraphs that should not have been normative to informative notes. ** Clarified a number of definitions in the Glossary. ** Updated the document writing guide to match new terminology changes. * Explicitly state in the <<fundamentals-objectmodel-lifetime-acquire, application memory lifetime>> language that that for objects other than descriptor sets, a slink:VkDescriptorSetLayout object used in the creation of another object (such as slink:VkPipelineLayout or slink:VkDescriptorUpdateTemplateKHR) is only in use during the creation of that object and can be safely destroyed afterwards. * Updated the <<textures-scale-factor, Scale Factor Operation>> section to use the ratio of anisotropy, rather than the integer sample rate, to perform the LOD calculation. The spec still allows use of the sample rate as the value used to calculate the LOD, but no longer requires it. * Update `vulkan_ext.c` to include all platform-related definitions from the Vulkan platform headers, following the split of the headers into platform-specific and non-platform-specific files. * Fix bogus anchor name in the <<commandbuffers, Command Buffers>> chapter which accidentally duplicated an anchor in the pipelines chapter. There were no reference to this anchor, fortunately. * Add valid usage statement for slink:VkWriteDescriptorSet and slink:VkCopyDescriptorSet requiring that the slink:VkDescriptorSetLayout used to allocate the source and destination sets must not have been destroyed at the time flink:vkUpdateDescriptorSets is called. * Document mapping of subgroup barrier functions to SPIR-V, and clarify a place where subgroupBarrier sounds like it's execution-only in the standalone `GL_KHR_shader_subgroup` specification. * Use an HTML stylesheet derived from the Asciidoctor `colony` theme, with the default Arial font family replaced by the sans-serif Noto font family. * Numerous minor updates to README.adoc, build scripts, Makefiles, and registry and style guide specifications to support Vulkan 1.1 outputs, use them as defaults, and remove mention of `KHX` extensions, which are no longer supported. New Extensions: * `VK_EXT_vertex_attrib_divisor`

Change log for November 12, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.92 spec update: * Update release number to 92. Public Issues: * Move and modify valid usage statements dealing with pname:aspectMask in flink:vkCmdClearColorImage, flink:vkCmdClearDepthStencilImage, and slink:VkClearAttachment, so they are in places where all necessary information is available (public issue 529). * Fix math markup in <<textures-texel-anisotropic-filtering, Texel Anisotropic Filtering>> (public pull request 840). * Fix misspellings (public pull request 845). Internal Issues: * Add installation instructions and a Makefile "`chunked`" target for chunked HTML generation (internal issue 1352). * Fix pipeline mesh diagram style; also fix a minor bug in the classic pipeline diagram where vertex/index buffers wrongly fed into the vertex shader (internal issue 1436). * Make asciidoctor ERROR output raise an error, and don't suppress executed command output from CI make invocation (internal issue 1454). * Minor typo fixes and clarifications for `VK_NV_raytracing`. * Cleanup extension-specific properties ** Remove duplicated documentation for pname:maxDiscardRectangles, pname:pointClippingBehavior, and pname:maxVertexAttribDivisor (they shouldn't be documented with the other members of slink:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits at all). ** Remove duplicate anchor for pname:maxVertexAttribDivisor ** Consistently document stext:VkPhysicalDevice<Extension>PropertiesKHR *** Always document pname:sType/pname:pNext (was inconsistent before) *** Always mention chaining to slink:VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2 (and not as slink:VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2KHR) *** Always include Valid Usage statements last * Update Makefile 'checklinks' target and associated scripts, and fix markup problems identified by checkLinks.py, so that we can rely on the checklinks script as part of Gitlab CI.

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.

Change log for April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112).

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 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 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.

Change log for April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112). New Extensions: * `<<VK_EXT_headless_surface>>`

This documents that instance-level functionality is tied to the loader, and independent of the ICD; physical device-level functionality is tied to the ICD, and associated with device extensions; physical devices are treated more uniformly between core and extensions; and instance and physical versions can be different (internal issue 1048). * Updated the <<commandbuffers-lifecycle, Command Buffer Lifecycle>> section to clarify the ability for pending command buffers to transition to the invalid state after submission, and add a command buffer lifecycle diagram (internal issue 1050). * Clarify that some flink:VkDescriptorUpdateTemplateCreateInfo parameters are ignored when push descriptors are not supported (internal issue 1054). * Specify that flink:vkCreateImage will return an error if the image is too large, in a NOTE in the slink:VkImageFormatProperties description (internal issue 1078). * Remove near-duplicate NOTEs about when to query function pointers dynamically in the <<initialization, Initialization>> chapter and replace by extending the NOTE in the <<fundamentals-abi, Application Binary Interface>> section (internal issue 1085). * Restore missing references to "`Sparse Resource Features`" in the flink:VkBufferCreateFlagBits description (internal issue 1086). * Tidy up definitions of descriptor types in the `GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl` specification, the <<descriptorsets, Resource Descriptors>> section and its subsections, and the <<interfaces-resources-descset, Descriptor Set Interface>> for consistency, reduction of duplicate information, and removal of GLSL correspondance/examples (internal issue 1090). * Correctly describe code:PrimitiveId as an Input for tessellation control and evaluation shaders, not an Output (internal issue 1109). * Relax the requirements on chroma offsets for nearest filtering in <<textures-implict-reconstruction, Implicit Reconstruction>> (internal issue 1116). Other Issues: * Clarify the intended relationship between specification language and certain terms defined in the Khronos Intellectual Property Rights policy. Specific changes include: ** Rewrote IP/Copyright preamble and introduction to better agree with normative language both as laid out in the introduction, and the Khronos IPR policy. ** Added notion of fully informative sections, which are now tagged with "`(Informative)`" in their titles. ** Removed non-normative uses of the phrase "`not required`" ** Clarified the distinction between terms "`optional`" and "`not required:`" as they relate to the IPR Policy, and updated specification text to use terms consistent with the intent. ** Reduced additions to RFC 2119, and ensured the specification agreed with the leaner language. ** Removed the terms "`hardware`", "`software`", "`CPU`", and "`GPU`" from normative text. ** Moved several paragraphs that should not have been normative to informative notes. ** Clarified a number of definitions in the Glossary. ** Updated the document writing guide to match new terminology changes. * Explicitly state in the <<fundamentals-objectmodel-lifetime-acquire, application memory lifetime>> language that that for objects other than descriptor sets, a slink:VkDescriptorSetLayout object used in the creation of another object (such as slink:VkPipelineLayout or slink:VkDescriptorUpdateTemplateKHR) is only in use during the creation of that object and can be safely destroyed afterwards. * Updated the <<textures-scale-factor, Scale Factor Operation>> section to use the ratio of anisotropy, rather than the integer sample rate, to perform the LOD calculation. The spec still allows use of the sample rate as the value used to calculate the LOD, but no longer requires it. * Update `vulkan_ext.c` to include all platform-related definitions from the Vulkan platform headers, following the split of the headers into platform-specific and non-platform-specific files. * Fix bogus anchor name in the <<commandbuffers, Command Buffers>> chapter which accidentally duplicated an anchor in the pipelines chapter. There were no reference to this anchor, fortunately. * Add valid usage statement for slink:VkWriteDescriptorSet and slink:VkCopyDescriptorSet requiring that the slink:VkDescriptorSetLayout used to allocate the source and destination sets must not have been destroyed at the time flink:vkUpdateDescriptorSets is called. * Document mapping of subgroup barrier functions to SPIR-V, and clarify a place where subgroupBarrier sounds like it's execution-only in the standalone `GL_KHR_shader_subgroup` specification. * Use an HTML stylesheet derived from the Asciidoctor `colony` theme, with the default Arial font family replaced by the sans-serif Noto font family. * Numerous minor updates to README.adoc, build scripts, Makefiles, and registry and style guide specifications to support Vulkan 1.1 outputs, use them as defaults, and remove mention of `KHX` extensions, which are no longer supported. New Extensions: * `VK_EXT_vertex_attrib_divisor`

Change log for 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 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).

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.

This documents that instance-level functionality is tied to the loader, and independent of the ICD; physical device-level functionality is tied to the ICD, and associated with device extensions; physical devices are treated more uniformly between core and extensions; and instance and physical versions can be different (internal issue 1048). * Updated the <<commandbuffers-lifecycle, Command Buffer Lifecycle>> section to clarify the ability for pending command buffers to transition to the invalid state after submission, and add a command buffer lifecycle diagram (internal issue 1050). * Clarify that some flink:VkDescriptorUpdateTemplateCreateInfo parameters are ignored when push descriptors are not supported (internal issue 1054). * Specify that flink:vkCreateImage will return an error if the image is too large, in a NOTE in the slink:VkImageFormatProperties description (internal issue 1078). * Remove near-duplicate NOTEs about when to query function pointers dynamically in the <<initialization, Initialization>> chapter and replace by extending the NOTE in the <<fundamentals-abi, Application Binary Interface>> section (internal issue 1085). * Restore missing references to "`Sparse Resource Features`" in the flink:VkBufferCreateFlagBits description (internal issue 1086). * Tidy up definitions of descriptor types in the `GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl` specification, the <<descriptorsets, Resource Descriptors>> section and its subsections, and the <<interfaces-resources-descset, Descriptor Set Interface>> for consistency, reduction of duplicate information, and removal of GLSL correspondance/examples (internal issue 1090). * Correctly describe code:PrimitiveId as an Input for tessellation control and evaluation shaders, not an Output (internal issue 1109). * Relax the requirements on chroma offsets for nearest filtering in <<textures-implict-reconstruction, Implicit Reconstruction>> (internal issue 1116). Other Issues: * Clarify the intended relationship between specification language and certain terms defined in the Khronos Intellectual Property Rights policy. Specific changes include: ** Rewrote IP/Copyright preamble and introduction to better agree with normative language both as laid out in the introduction, and the Khronos IPR policy. ** Added notion of fully informative sections, which are now tagged with "`(Informative)`" in their titles. ** Removed non-normative uses of the phrase "`not required`" ** Clarified the distinction between terms "`optional`" and "`not required:`" as they relate to the IPR Policy, and updated specification text to use terms consistent with the intent. ** Reduced additions to RFC 2119, and ensured the specification agreed with the leaner language. ** Removed the terms "`hardware`", "`software`", "`CPU`", and "`GPU`" from normative text. ** Moved several paragraphs that should not have been normative to informative notes. ** Clarified a number of definitions in the Glossary. ** Updated the document writing guide to match new terminology changes. * Explicitly state in the <<fundamentals-objectmodel-lifetime-acquire, application memory lifetime>> language that that for objects other than descriptor sets, a slink:VkDescriptorSetLayout object used in the creation of another object (such as slink:VkPipelineLayout or slink:VkDescriptorUpdateTemplateKHR) is only in use during the creation of that object and can be safely destroyed afterwards. * Updated the <<textures-scale-factor, Scale Factor Operation>> section to use the ratio of anisotropy, rather than the integer sample rate, to perform the LOD calculation. The spec still allows use of the sample rate as the value used to calculate the LOD, but no longer requires it. * Update `vulkan_ext.c` to include all platform-related definitions from the Vulkan platform headers, following the split of the headers into platform-specific and non-platform-specific files. * Fix bogus anchor name in the <<commandbuffers, Command Buffers>> chapter which accidentally duplicated an anchor in the pipelines chapter. There were no reference to this anchor, fortunately. * Add valid usage statement for slink:VkWriteDescriptorSet and slink:VkCopyDescriptorSet requiring that the slink:VkDescriptorSetLayout used to allocate the source and destination sets must not have been destroyed at the time flink:vkUpdateDescriptorSets is called. * Document mapping of subgroup barrier functions to SPIR-V, and clarify a place where subgroupBarrier sounds like it's execution-only in the standalone `GL_KHR_shader_subgroup` specification. * Use an HTML stylesheet derived from the Asciidoctor `colony` theme, with the default Arial font family replaced by the sans-serif Noto font family. * Numerous minor updates to README.adoc, build scripts, Makefiles, and registry and style guide specifications to support Vulkan 1.1 outputs, use them as defaults, and remove mention of `KHX` extensions, which are no longer supported. New Extensions: * `VK_EXT_vertex_attrib_divisor`

Change log for 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.

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

Change log for 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.

Change log for April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112). New Extensions: * `<<VK_EXT_headless_surface>>`

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`

If the message corresponds to a validation layer message, then this
string may contain the portion of the Vulkan specification that is
believed to have been violated.
* pname:messageIdNumber is the ID number of the triggering message.
If the message corresponds to a validation layer message, then this
number is related to the internal number associated with the message
being triggered.
* pname:pMessage is a null-terminated string detailing the trigger
conditions.
* pname:queueLabelCount is a count of items contained in the

[NOTE]
.Note
====
This structure should only be considered valid during the lifetime of the
triggered callback.
====
Since adding queue and command buffer labels behaves like pushing and
popping onto a stack, the order of both pname:pQueueLabels and
pname:pCmdBufLabels is based on the order the labels were defined.
The result is that the first label in either pname:pQueueLabels or
pname:pCmdBufLabels will be the first defined (and therefore the oldest)
while the last label in each list will be the most recent.
[NOTE]
.Note
====
pname:pQueueLabels will only be non-NULL if one of the objects in
pname:pObjects can be related directly to a defined sname:VkQueue which has
had one or more labels associated with it.
Likewise, pname:pCmdBufLabels will only be non-NULL if one of the objects in
pname:pObjects can be related directly to a defined sname:VkCommandBuffer
which has had one or more labels associated with it.
Additionally, while command buffer labels allow for beginning and ending
across different command buffers, the debug messaging framework cannot:
guarantee that labels in pname:pCmdBufLables will contain those defined
outside of the associated command buffer.
This is partially due to the fact that the association of one command buffer
with another may not have been defined at the time the debug message is
triggered.

Change log for April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112). New Extensions: * `<<VK_EXT_headless_surface>>`

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.

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`

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`

Change log for April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112). New Extensions: * `<<VK_EXT_headless_surface>>`

debug_utils: Fix issues discovered by @krOoze (#794) Fixing a few items discovered by @krOoze with the EXT_debug_utils extension spec language validation. Namely in two issues: Issue #789: The problem was the manual VUs should have been applied to the `vkSetDebugUtilsObjectNameEXT` command and not the general `VkDebugUtilsObjectNameInfoEXT` structure. Issue #790: Here, we needed to remove the "noautovalidity" tag on the XML and add the "optional" tag to `pObjects` and `objectCount`.

Change log for April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112). New Extensions: * `<<VK_EXT_headless_surface>>`

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`

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).

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

Change log for April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112). New Extensions: * `<<VK_EXT_headless_surface>>`

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.

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: * 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 April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update: * Update release number to 107. Public Issues: * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix (public issue 617). * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies, subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777). * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849). * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support and publish at present (public issue 949). Internal Issues: * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're being applied to (internal issue 779). * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue 888). * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`, increasing legibility (internal issue 1611). * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path, fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630). * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`. * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107). * Add missing conditionals around the <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>> section (internal merge request 3108). * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge request 3109). * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112).

Issue #790: Here, we needed to remove the "noautovalidity" tag on the XML and add the "optional" tag to `pObjects` and `objectCount`.

pname:instance or child of pname:instance as the dispatchable argument.
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`
