Change log for February 27, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.42 spec update: * Bump API patch number and header version number to 42 for this update (the first anniversary edition). Github Issues: * Changed asciidoctor macros so cross-page links in the standalone reference pages function properly (public issue 462). Internal Issues: * Clarified host visibility discussion for slink:VkMemoryType, flink:vkInvalidateMappedMemoryRanges, elink:VkAccessFlagBits, and the <<synchronization-framebuffer-regions,Framebuffer Region Dependencies>> section, removing duplicated information and adding a central definition in the access types section (internal issue 552). * Change description of slink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfacePresentModesKHR::pname:pPresentModes to return an array of values, not structures (internal issue 699). New Extensions: * Add a NOTE to the <<extensions,Layers & Extensions>> chapter describing the experimental status of `KHX` extensions. * Add new Khronos, Khronos Experimental, and vendor Vulkan extensions for release at GDC: ** VK_KHR_descriptor_update_template ** VK_KHR_push_descriptor ** VK_KHX_device_group ** VK_KHX_device_group_creation ** VK_KHX_external_memory ** VK_KHX_external_memory_capabilities ** VK_KHX_external_memory_fd ** VK_KHX_external_memory_win32 ** VK_KHX_external_semaphore ** VK_KHX_external_semaphore_capabilities ** VK_KHX_external_semaphore_fd ** VK_KHX_external_semaphore_win32 ** VK_KHX_multiview ** VK_KHX_win32_keyed_mutex ** VK_EXT_discard_rectangles ** VK_MVK_ios_surface ** VK_MVK_macos_surface ** VK_NVX_multiview_per_view_attributes ** VK_NV_clip_space_w_scaling ** VK_NV_geometry_shader_passthrough ** VK_NV_sample_mask_override_coverage ** VK_NV_viewport_array2 ** VK_NV_viewport_swizzle * Add new GLSL vendor extensions to support new builtin variables: ** GL_EXT_device_group ** GL_EXT_multiview

The +VK_MVK_ios_surface+ extension is an instance extension.
It provides a mechanism to create a slink:VkSurfaceKHR object (defined by
the +VK_KHR_surface+ extension) that refers to a code:UIView, the native
surface type of iOS, which is underpinned by a code:CAMetalLayer, to support
rendering to the surface using Apple's Metal framework.
