Change log for September 5, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.60 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 60 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Document that <<queries-timestamps, Timestamp Queries>> can only be
meaningfully compared when they are written from the same queue (public
issue 216).
* Document that the `<extension>` tag `type` attribute is required for
non-disabled extensions (derived from, but does not close public issue
354).
* Clean up registry schema length attribute descriptions to be consistent
and correct (public issue 555).
Internal Issues:
* Replace as much of the hand-written extension appendix metadata as
possible with asciidoc includes generated from corresponding attributes
of +vk.xml+, and enhance the style guide to match. This avoids
inconsistencies between +vk.xml+ and the appendices, and produces a more
uniform style (internal issue 137).
* Remove the generated extDependency.{py,sh} files from the tree and
create them dynamically on demand instead, reducing merge conflicts
(internal issue 713).
* Add a prototype tool for generating in-place difference markup for
sections guarded by asciidoc conditionals, and new syntax for open
blocks to support it (internal issue 833).
* Remove unnecessary restriction of etext:*SYNC_FD_BIT_KHR external handle
types to the same physical device in the
slink:VkPhysicalDeviceIDPropertiesKHR,
flink:VkImportMemoryWin32HandleInfoKHR,
slink:VkImportFenceWin32HandleInfoKHR, slink:VkImportFenceFdInfoKHR,
slink:VkImportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfoKHR,
slink:VkImportSemaphoreFdInfoKHR
<<external-memory-handle-types-compatibility, External memory handle
types compatibility>>, <<external-semaphore-handle-types-compatibility,
External semaphore handle types compatibility>>, and
<<external-fence-handle-types-compatibility, External fence handle types
compatibility>> sections (internal issue 956).
Other Issues:
* Remove dependency of +VK_KHX_device_group+ on +VK_KHR_swapchain+ (there
is an interaction, but not a strict dependency), and add a new
`extension` attribute to the `<require` XML tag to allow classifying a
subset of interfaces of an extension as requiring another extension.
Update the registry schema and documentation accordingly.
New Extensions:
* `VK_AMD_shader_fragment_mask` (and related `GL_AMD_shader_fragment_mask`
GLSL extension)
* `VK_EXT_sample_locations`
* `VK_EXT_validation_cache`

Change log for October 20, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.64 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 64 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Add chapter name to the PDF page footer (public pull request 458).
* Fix several mistaken references to the nonexistent etext:VK_DEVICE_LOST
status to etext:VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST (public pull request 502).
* Fix description of the tlink:PFN_vkDebugReportCallbackEXT debug report
callback function pointer to match the validation layer behavior (public
issue 534).
* Document experimental KHX extensions and alternate vendor author IDs
also ending in X in more detail in the <<extensions, Layers &
Extensions>> appendix, the extensions section of the style guide, and
the registry schema description document (public issues 536, 580).
* Fix references to ptext:pDepthStencil to properly refer to
pname:pDepthStencilState or pname:pRasterizationState as appropriate in
the slink:VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo description (public issue 542).
* Fix wrong parameter name in slink:VkPipelineMultisampleStateCreateInfo
valid usage (public pull request 571).
Internal Issues:
* Update the style guide to describe how to write LaTeX math expressions
in table cells (internal issue 908).
* Define how framebuffer-local dependencies work between subpasses with
the same or different numbers of samples, in the
slink:VkSubpassDescription and <<synchronization-framebuffer-regions,
Framebuffer Region Dependencies>> sections. This clarifies which samples
in an input attachment you are allowed to access after a
framebuffer-local dependency (internal issue 915).
* Specify which storage classes can have an initializer in the
<<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a Module>> section
(internal issue 1023).
* Use "LOD" consistently for "level-of-detail", to eliminate spelling
inconsistencies. The term is already standardized in the Glossary
(internal issue 1027).
Other Issues:
* Fix false positives in Makefile dependencies when rules fail, by
deleting partially-made targets.
New Extensions:
* `VK_AMD_shader_info`

This extension allows an application to modify the locations of samples
|
|
|
|
|
within a pixel used in rasterization.
|
|
|
|
|
Additionally, it allows applications to specify different sample locations
|
|
|
|
|
for each pixel in a group of adjacent pixels, which can: increase
|
|
|
|
|
antialiasing quality (particularly if a custom resolve shader is used that
|
|
|
|
|
takes advantage of these different locations).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is common for implementations to optimize the storage of depth values by
|
|
|
|
|
storing values that can: be used to reconstruct depth at each sample
|
|
|
|
|
location, rather than storing separate depth values for each sample.
|
|
|
|
|
For example, the depth values from a single triangle may: be represented
|
|
|
|
|
using plane equations.
|
|
|
|
|
When the depth value for a sample is needed, it is automatically evaluated
|
|
|
|
|
at the sample location.
|
|
|
|
|
Modifying the sample locations causes the reconstruction to no longer
|
|
|
|
|
evaluate the same depth values as when the samples were originally
|
|
|
|
|
generated, thus the depth aspect of a depth/stencil attachment must: be
|
|
|
|
|
cleared before rendering to it using different sample locations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some implementations may: need to evaluate depth image values while
|
|
|
|
|
performing image layout transitions.
|
|
|
|
|
To accommodate this, instances of the slink:VkSampleLocationsInfoEXT
|
|
|
|
|
structure can: be specified for each situation where an explicit or
|
|
|
|
|
automatic layout transition has to take place.
|
|
|
|
|
slink:VkSampleLocationsInfoEXT can: be chained from
|
|
|
|
|
slink:VkImageMemoryBarrier structures to provide sample locations for layout
|
|
|
|
|
transitions performed by flink:vkCmdWaitEvents and
