Change log for September 16, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.27 spec update: * Bump API patch number and header version number to 27 for this update. Github Issues: * Weaken flink:vkGetPipelineCacheData invariance conditions; previous conditions were stronger than agreed and can't be guaranteed (public issue 280). * Add link to "Vulkan Loader Specification and Architecture Overview" document to Normative References section (public issue 359). Internal Issues: * Be more clear in the <<interfaces-resources-layout-std140, uniform buffer layout>> section that block offsets can be out of order (internal issue 396). * Document that extension authors should add support for their extensions to the validation layers (internal issue 398). * Clarify that the valid range of depth clear values should be limited to the 0..1 range and that copies to depth aspect must also be in this range (internal issue 412). * Specify ``a'' vs. ``an'' use in the style guide (internal issue 432). * Increase the maximum pname:nonCoherentAtomSize value in the <<features-limits-required,Required Limits>> section from 128 to 256 (internal issue 435). * Fix vk_platform.h for compiler errors on some Android platforms (internal issue 441). * Clarify that slink:VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures::pname:pEnabledFeatures == `NULL` disables all features, including the "required" feature pname:robustBufferAccess (internal issue 479). Other Issues: * Expand style guide and make it more self-consistent. * Use ISO 8601 date format everywhere. * Emphasise the correct way of using slink:VkSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR::pname:maxImageCount. * Added +VK_EXT_validation_flags+ extension for validation flag mechanism. * Fix an <<credits,author credit>> to include their current employer.

Change log for August 26, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.25 spec update: * Bump API patch number and header version number to 25 for this update. * Structurally change the specification so that multiple extensions are included in the +1.0+ git branch, and specifications will include or not include those extensions at build time based on options passed to the Makefile. See +doc/specs/vulkan/README.html+ and the ``Layers and Extensions'' section of the ``Vulkan Documentation and Extensions'' document for more information on this change. * Register and publish new extensions in the single-branch form: ** +VK_NV_external_memory_capabilities+ ** +VK_NV_external_memory+ ** +VK_NV_external_memory_win32+ ** +VK_NV_win32_keyed_mutex+ Github Issues: * Clarify description of GetInstanceProcAddr and GetDeviceProcAddr (public issue 212). * Add SPIR-V <<textures-operation-validation, instruction validation>> for single-sampled images (public issue 316). * Fix spelling of ``tesselation'' in a few places and note it as an exception to the American spelling rules convention (public issue 327). * Fix Makefile to create output directory for ``styleguide'' target (public issue 329). * Fix numerous minor issues with incorrectly tags on enumerant names and table titles (public issue 330). * Generate specversion.txt date in UTC time and RFC 2822 format (public issue 335). * Convert link to the SPIR-V Specification for flink:VkShaderModuleCreateInfo into an internal link to the normative reference (public issue 336). * Add ename:VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY error code to flink:vkCreateDebugReportCallbackEXT (public issue 337). Internal Issues: * Update style guide regarding use of code:NULL and dname:VK_NULL_HANDLE (internal issue 393). * Change the definition of latexmath:[$q$] in the <<textures-image-level-selection,texture image level selection>> section to be the index of the maximum defined level for the view, not the number of levels in the view (internal issue 406). * Allow developers to override dname:VK_DEFINE_NON_DISPATCHABLE_HANDLE with their own binary-compatible definition (internal issue 439). * Fix +vk_platform.h+ conditional logic causing compile failure with some Android compilers (internal issue 441). * Implement the single-branch model as described above (internal issue 461).

Change log for September 6, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.26 spec update: * Bump API patch number and header version number to 26 for this update. Github Issues: * Bring sample code in the +VK_KHR_surface+ and +VK_KHR_swapchain+ extension summary appendices up to date, and note they will be replaced with pointers to the LunarG SDK examples in the future (public issue 279). * Add a new <<fundamentals-commandsyntax-results-lifetime,Lifetime of Retrieved Results>> section specifying that ftext:vkGet* and ftext:VkEnumerate* results are invariant unless otherwise specified, and specify behavior for individual commands which are not invariant (public issue 280). * Remove conflicting definition of slink:VkDisplayPlaneCapabilitiesKHR::pname:maxSrcPosition and clean up language of the remaining definition (public issue 351). * Fix many minor spelling errors and add rules to the style guide to prevent recurrences (public issue 352). Internal Issues: * Remove redundant descriptions of the etext:VK_USE_PLATFORM_* macros from the <<wsi,Window System Integration>> chapter in favor of the description in the <<boilerplate-wsi-header,Window System-Specific Header Control>> appendix (internal issue 6). * Replace misleading 'can: be destroyed when not X' with more correct 'must: not be destroyed while X' in the <<fundamentals-objectmodel-lifetime,Object Lifetime>> section. Disallow destroying a pipeline layout while a command buffer using it is recording (internal issue 241). * Clarify that ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_TRANSIENT_ATTACHMENT_BIT is valid for all images used as attachments in elink:VkImageUsageFlagBits and the slink:VkImageLayout validity language (internal issue 320). * Note that <<extended-functionality-layers,Layers>> may wrap object handles, but that this is a generally discouraged. A link to additional information in the documentation for layer authors is provided (issue 398) * Replace the mustnot: and shouldnot: macros with equivalent must: not and should: not to get rid of non-English words while still highlighting normative language (internal issue 407). * Disallow creating multisampled images with ename:VK_IMAGE_CREATE_CUBE_COMPATIBLE_BIT in the slink:VkImageLayout validity language and the <<features-supported-sample-counts,Supported Sample Counts>> section (internal issue 445). * Fix typo so that flink:vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect is defined in terms of flink:vkCmdDrawIndexed rather than flink:vkCmdDrawIndirect (internal issue 446). * Reorganize the per-extension information sections to all be in the <<extensions,Layers & Extensions>> appendix. Also fix a typo in +VK_IMG_filter_cubic+ which incorrectly identified it as a +KHR+ extension (internal issue 461). Other Issues: * Use asciidoc markup instead of latexmath to simplify diagrams in the <<features-formats-non-packed,byte mapping tables>> for color formats. * Fix a markup problem with the wildcarded enumerant names in a NOTE in the <<textures-texel-replacement,Texel Replacement>> section. * Fix missing attributes in the XML interface for elink:VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagBitsNV and elink:VkExternalMemoryFeatureFlagBitsNV (KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Hpp issue #25) * Cleanup reference page builds so only core pages are built for releases.
