Change log for September 30, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.29 spec update: * Bump API patch number and header version number to 29 for this update. Github Issues: * Remove redundant constraint on slink:VkCommandBufferInheritanceInfo::pname:queryFlags (public issue 224). * Fix typo and remove link in Note in the <<extended-functionality-instance-extensions-and-devices, Instance Extensions and Device Extensions>> section (public issue 359). * Fix erroneous validation statement for the pname:layout member of slink:VkComputePipelineCreateInfo (public issue 362). Internal Issues: * Restore long figure captions using asciidoc sidebar blocks, due to restrictions of asciidoc syntax (internal issue 101). * Replace most latexmath equations with comparable markup in straight asciidoc, which significantly improves time required to fully load and process the HTML forms of the Specification. There are known minor font and alignment inconsistencies with MathJax and PDF rendering of latexmath equations. Please do not file github issues about these. We are aware of the inconsistencies and will make refinements over time, while the performance improvements are compelling in at least some major browsers (internal issue 313). * Move handcoded validity statements from +vk.xml+ into the Specification body, easing work in the single-branch model. Specify the distinction between these explicit statements, and the implicit validity statements inferred from vk.xml. Validity statements now appear in two blocks for each command and structure - handcoded "Valid Usage" and the implicit "Valid Usage (Implicit)" (internal issue 392). * Add the +returnedonly="false"+ attribute to WSI output structures, removing incorrectly generated implicit validity statements for slink:VkDisplayPropertiesKHR, slink:VkDisplayPlanePropertiesKHR, slink:VkDisplayModePropertiesKHR, slink:VkDisplayPlaneCapabilitiesKHR, slink:VkSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR, and slink:VkSurfaceFormatKHR structures (internal issue 486). * Update slink:VkImageLayout to require the ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_SAMPLED_BIT be set for sampled depth/stencil images (internal issue 487). * Use an explicit format specifier string for the date command invocation in the +Makefile+ instead of the shorthand -R option, which doesn't work on BSD and MaxOS X date commands (internal issue 500). Other Issues: * Use the terms ``allocation scope'' and ``extension scope'' instead of just ``scope'', and add them to the glossary.

Change log for January 5, 2018 Vulkan 1.0.67 spec update: * Bump API patch number and header version number to 67 for this update. * Update copyright dates to 2018 Github Issues: * Fix texture lookup functions in `GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl` specification (public pull request 363). * Clarify the state waited semaphores are left in when a call to flink:vkQueuePresentKHR fails (public issue 572). * Cleanup descriptions of slink:VkObjectTablePushConstantEntryNVX and slink:VkObjectTableDescriptorSetEntryNVX (public issue 583) * Remove redundant flink:vkCmdSetDiscardRectangleEXT valid usage statements (public pull 586). * Make dynamic state array length valid usage statements implicit for flink:vkCmdSetViewportWScalingNV, flink:vkCmdSetDiscardRectangleEXT, and flink:vkCmdSetViewport (public pull 589). * Clarify meaning of window extent (0,0) in slink:VkSwapchainKHR for the Windows and X11 platforms, in their respective extensions (public issue 590). * Allow flink:vkGetPastPresentationTimingGOOGLE to return ename:VK_INCOMPLETE (public issue 604). * Add synchronization valid usage statements to flink:vkAcquireNextImage (public pull 611). * Fix some broken external links and internal xrefs (public pull 613). * Clean up slink:VkViewport valid usage statements in the presence or absence of relevant extensions (public pull 623). * Remove ename:VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_DEPTH_READ_ONLY_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT_OPTIMAL_KHR token from VK_KHR_maintenance2 from the non-extension VU path for slink:VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo (public issue 628). * Miscellaneous minor markup fixes - extension name strings (public pull 631), Notes (pull 633), queue names emitted by generator scripts (pull 634), block formatting in slink:VkDescriptorUpdateTemplateEntryKHR (pull 635), ename:VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_FILTER_CUBIC_BIT_IMG (pull 641), quotes and apostrophes (pull 643), * Miscellaneous minor grammar fixes (public pull 644). * Fix markup macros so usage like ptext:*Src* works (public pull 647). Internal Issues: * Clarify in the `VK_KHR_surface` and `VK_KHR_swapchain` extensions that parameter combinations which aren't supported for normal images are also unsupported for presentable images, even if the parameter values are individually supported as reported by the surface capability queries (internal issue 1029). * Fixed XML typo in the valid value field of the pname:sType member of slink:VkPhysicalDeviceExternalMemoryHostPropertiesEXT (internal issue 1100). Other Issues: * Add memory semantics validity rules to the <<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a Module>> section of the SPIR-V environment appendix, and specify that sequentiality consistency is not supported. This forbids certain cases like "`Load+Release`" that we don't expect to ever be meaningful. * Document mapping of OpenGL Shading Language barriers to SPIR-V scope and semantics in the `GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl` specification. New Extensions: * `VK_EXT_conservative_rasterization`

Change log for February 10, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.40 spec update: * Bump API patch number and header version number to 40 for this update. * There is a major build change in this release. We are now using the Ruby-based ``asciidoctor'' implementation, rather than the Python-based ``asciidoc'' implementation, to process the specification. While the actual specification markup changes were minimal, this requires a new set of build tools and a very different installation process, especially because we now use an experimental direct-to-PDF backend for Asciidoctor instead of Docbook->dblatex->PDF. It is no longer possible to build the Specification using asciidoc. See doc/specs/vulkan/README.adoc for some guidance on installing the new toolchain components. * There are some minor rendering issues in the PDF output due to teething problems with the asciidoctor toolchain, especially with mathematical equations. We are aware of these and working on them. Github Issues: * Updated sample code for the <<sparsememory-examples-basic,sparse resource binding example>> (public issue 97). * Modify line and point clipping behavior in the <<vertexpostproc-clipping, Primitive Clipping>> section to allow for pop-free behavior. The ability to check for which behavior is implemented may be added a future feature or extension (public issue 113). * Unify the discussions of implicit ordering throughout the spec, in particular in the new sections <<drawing-primitive-order, Primitive Order>>, <<primrast-order, Rasterization Order>>, and <<synchronization-implicit, Implicit Synchronization Guarantees>>; the discussion of <<synchronization-submission-order, submission order>>; and references elsewhere to these sections (public issue 133). * Clarify \<\<descriptorsets-compatibility,Pipeline Layout Compatibility>> language and introduce the term ``identically defined'' (public issue 164). * Add a dependency to the +VK_EXT_debug_marker+ extension that's needed to reuse the object type enum from +VK_EXT_debug_report+, and moves the definition of that enum into +VK_EXT_debug_report+ where it should be (public issue 409). * Remove redundant valid usage statement from slink:VkImageBlit (public issue 421). * Update GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl to allow the ternary operator to result in a specialization constant (public issue 424). * Fix valid usage for flink:VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo (public issue 426). * Correct typo in New Objects list for <<VK_EXT_debug_report>> (public issue 447). Internal Issues: * Moved to asciidoctor for spec builds (internal issue 121). * Update style guide to describe where to put new extensions-specific asciidoc files, and what to name them (internal issue 626). * Add src/spec/indexExt.py to autogenerate registry index entries linking into the 1.0-extensions specification, instead of maintaining the index manually. (internal issue 642). * Autogenerate extension dependencies and lists of all extensions and all KHR extensions from the "supported" attributes in +vk.xml+. Execute +make config/extDependency.sh+ from +doc/specs/vulkan+ when a supported extension is added to vk.xml, to regenerate the dependency script. The consequence is that specifying a single extension to the +makeExt+ script will automatically enable all extensions it depends on as well, and that the +makeAllExts+ and +makeKHR+ scripts do not need to be updated when a new extension is supported (internal issue 648). * Put extension appendices all at the same asciidoc section level, so KHR WSI extensions show up in the HTML index (internal issue 648). Other Issues: * Imbed images in the generated HTML specs instead of loading them from the images/ directory. * Fix missing EXT in extension name (ename:VK_EXT_SWAPCHAIN_COLOR_SPACE_EXTENSION_NAME). * Add new +VK_EXT_SMPTE_2086_metadata+ extension. * In the <<platformCreateSurface_xlib,Xlib Surface>> section of the +VK_KHR_xlib_surface+ specification, add language warning users that they always need to call code:XinitThreads. * Use the term "presentable image" (rather than "swapchain image") consistently in +VK_KHR_swapchain+ and related extensions, and add a glossary term defining it. * Relocate the valid usage for samples of flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSparseImageFormatProperties2KHR::pname:pFormatInfo to be below the flink:VkPhysicalDeviceSparseImageFormatInfo2KHR structure.

Change log for February 10, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.40 spec update: * Bump API patch number and header version number to 40 for this update. * There is a major build change in this release. We are now using the Ruby-based ``asciidoctor'' implementation, rather than the Python-based ``asciidoc'' implementation, to process the specification. While the actual specification markup changes were minimal, this requires a new set of build tools and a very different installation process, especially because we now use an experimental direct-to-PDF backend for Asciidoctor instead of Docbook->dblatex->PDF. It is no longer possible to build the Specification using asciidoc. See doc/specs/vulkan/README.adoc for some guidance on installing the new toolchain components. * There are some minor rendering issues in the PDF output due to teething problems with the asciidoctor toolchain, especially with mathematical equations. We are aware of these and working on them. Github Issues: * Updated sample code for the <<sparsememory-examples-basic,sparse resource binding example>> (public issue 97). * Modify line and point clipping behavior in the <<vertexpostproc-clipping, Primitive Clipping>> section to allow for pop-free behavior. The ability to check for which behavior is implemented may be added a future feature or extension (public issue 113). * Unify the discussions of implicit ordering throughout the spec, in particular in the new sections <<drawing-primitive-order, Primitive Order>>, <<primrast-order, Rasterization Order>>, and <<synchronization-implicit, Implicit Synchronization Guarantees>>; the discussion of <<synchronization-submission-order, submission order>>; and references elsewhere to these sections (public issue 133). * Clarify \<\<descriptorsets-compatibility,Pipeline Layout Compatibility>> language and introduce the term ``identically defined'' (public issue 164). * Add a dependency to the +VK_EXT_debug_marker+ extension that's needed to reuse the object type enum from +VK_EXT_debug_report+, and moves the definition of that enum into +VK_EXT_debug_report+ where it should be (public issue 409). * Remove redundant valid usage statement from slink:VkImageBlit (public issue 421). * Update GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl to allow the ternary operator to result in a specialization constant (public issue 424). * Fix valid usage for flink:VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo (public issue 426). * Correct typo in New Objects list for <<VK_EXT_debug_report>> (public issue 447). Internal Issues: * Moved to asciidoctor for spec builds (internal issue 121). * Update style guide to describe where to put new extensions-specific asciidoc files, and what to name them (internal issue 626). * Add src/spec/indexExt.py to autogenerate registry index entries linking into the 1.0-extensions specification, instead of maintaining the index manually. (internal issue 642). * Autogenerate extension dependencies and lists of all extensions and all KHR extensions from the "supported" attributes in +vk.xml+. Execute +make config/extDependency.sh+ from +doc/specs/vulkan+ when a supported extension is added to vk.xml, to regenerate the dependency script. The consequence is that specifying a single extension to the +makeExt+ script will automatically enable all extensions it depends on as well, and that the +makeAllExts+ and +makeKHR+ scripts do not need to be updated when a new extension is supported (internal issue 648). * Put extension appendices all at the same asciidoc section level, so KHR WSI extensions show up in the HTML index (internal issue 648). Other Issues: * Imbed images in the generated HTML specs instead of loading them from the images/ directory. * Fix missing EXT in extension name (ename:VK_EXT_SWAPCHAIN_COLOR_SPACE_EXTENSION_NAME). * Add new +VK_EXT_SMPTE_2086_metadata+ extension. * In the <<platformCreateSurface_xlib,Xlib Surface>> section of the +VK_KHR_xlib_surface+ specification, add language warning users that they always need to call code:XinitThreads. * Use the term "presentable image" (rather than "swapchain image") consistently in +VK_KHR_swapchain+ and related extensions, and add a glossary term defining it. * Relocate the valid usage for samples of flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSparseImageFormatProperties2KHR::pname:pFormatInfo to be below the flink:VkPhysicalDeviceSparseImageFormatInfo2KHR structure.

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 February 10, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.40 spec update: * Bump API patch number and header version number to 40 for this update. * There is a major build change in this release. We are now using the Ruby-based ``asciidoctor'' implementation, rather than the Python-based ``asciidoc'' implementation, to process the specification. While the actual specification markup changes were minimal, this requires a new set of build tools and a very different installation process, especially because we now use an experimental direct-to-PDF backend for Asciidoctor instead of Docbook->dblatex->PDF. It is no longer possible to build the Specification using asciidoc. See doc/specs/vulkan/README.adoc for some guidance on installing the new toolchain components. * There are some minor rendering issues in the PDF output due to teething problems with the asciidoctor toolchain, especially with mathematical equations. We are aware of these and working on them. Github Issues: * Updated sample code for the <<sparsememory-examples-basic,sparse resource binding example>> (public issue 97). * Modify line and point clipping behavior in the <<vertexpostproc-clipping, Primitive Clipping>> section to allow for pop-free behavior. The ability to check for which behavior is implemented may be added a future feature or extension (public issue 113). * Unify the discussions of implicit ordering throughout the spec, in particular in the new sections <<drawing-primitive-order, Primitive Order>>, <<primrast-order, Rasterization Order>>, and <<synchronization-implicit, Implicit Synchronization Guarantees>>; the discussion of <<synchronization-submission-order, submission order>>; and references elsewhere to these sections (public issue 133). * Clarify \<\<descriptorsets-compatibility,Pipeline Layout Compatibility>> language and introduce the term ``identically defined'' (public issue 164). * Add a dependency to the +VK_EXT_debug_marker+ extension that's needed to reuse the object type enum from +VK_EXT_debug_report+, and moves the definition of that enum into +VK_EXT_debug_report+ where it should be (public issue 409). * Remove redundant valid usage statement from slink:VkImageBlit (public issue 421). * Update GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl to allow the ternary operator to result in a specialization constant (public issue 424). * Fix valid usage for flink:VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo (public issue 426). * Correct typo in New Objects list for <<VK_EXT_debug_report>> (public issue 447). Internal Issues: * Moved to asciidoctor for spec builds (internal issue 121). * Update style guide to describe where to put new extensions-specific asciidoc files, and what to name them (internal issue 626). * Add src/spec/indexExt.py to autogenerate registry index entries linking into the 1.0-extensions specification, instead of maintaining the index manually. (internal issue 642). * Autogenerate extension dependencies and lists of all extensions and all KHR extensions from the "supported" attributes in +vk.xml+. Execute +make config/extDependency.sh+ from +doc/specs/vulkan+ when a supported extension is added to vk.xml, to regenerate the dependency script. The consequence is that specifying a single extension to the +makeExt+ script will automatically enable all extensions it depends on as well, and that the +makeAllExts+ and +makeKHR+ scripts do not need to be updated when a new extension is supported (internal issue 648). * Put extension appendices all at the same asciidoc section level, so KHR WSI extensions show up in the HTML index (internal issue 648). Other Issues: * Imbed images in the generated HTML specs instead of loading them from the images/ directory. * Fix missing EXT in extension name (ename:VK_EXT_SWAPCHAIN_COLOR_SPACE_EXTENSION_NAME). * Add new +VK_EXT_SMPTE_2086_metadata+ extension. * In the <<platformCreateSurface_xlib,Xlib Surface>> section of the +VK_KHR_xlib_surface+ specification, add language warning users that they always need to call code:XinitThreads. * Use the term "presentable image" (rather than "swapchain image") consistently in +VK_KHR_swapchain+ and related extensions, and add a glossary term defining it. * Relocate the valid usage for samples of flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSparseImageFormatProperties2KHR::pname:pFormatInfo to be below the flink:VkPhysicalDeviceSparseImageFormatInfo2KHR structure.
