* Update release number to 109.
Github Issues:
* Require matching for physical devices to be in a device group in the
<<devsandqueues-devices, Devices>> section (public issue 695).
* Fix typo in an equation in the <<fragmentdensitymap-fetch-density-value,
Fetch Density Value>> section (public issue 954).
* Fix styleguide links (public pull request 965).
Internal Issues:
* Allow <<renderpass-compatibility, compatibility of single-subpass
renderpasses>> with different resolve attachments (internal issue 1464).
* Add some missing empty flags types to API spec so custom refpage
generation doesn't break (internal issue 1607).
* Add a "`SPIR-V Sampled Type`" column to the <<formats-numericformat,
Interpretation of Numeric Formats>> table, and clarify the requirement
that the code:OpTypeImage sampled type match the bound image's numeric
format for slink:VkClearColorValue and in the
<<interfaces-resources-descset, Descriptor Set Interface>> section
(internal issue 1646).
* Fix a typo in the <<tessellation-quad-tessellation, Quad Tessellation>>
section which should refer to rectangles, not triangles (internal issue
1667).
* Clarify the definition of time domains in elink:VkTimeDomainEXT
(internal merge request 3110).
* Add R10X6 and R12X4 formats to the <<formats-mandatory-features-10bit>>
table (internal merge request 3137).
* Don't require extern sync on wait/signal semaphores in `vk.xml` for
flink:vkQueueSubmit and flink:vkQueueBindSparse (internal merge request
3116).
* Improve phrasing of compute and mesh shader size related to
code:LocalSize and code:WorkgroupSize in
slink:VkPhysicalDeviceMeshShaderPropertiesNV and
slink:VkPhysicalDeviceMaintenance3Properties (internal merge request
3156).
* Make the flink:vkCmdBindShadingRateImageNV pname:imageView parameter
optional in `vk.xml` (internal merge request 3157).
New Extensions:
* `<<VK_INTEL_performance_query>>`
* `<<VK_INTEL_shader_integer_functions2>>`
* 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 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.
* Update release number to 82.
Public Issues:
* Add flink:vkDestroyPipelineLayout valid usage statement that the layout
must not have been used with command buffers still in the recording
state (public issue 730).
* Correct \<unused> tag for elink:VkResult in `vk.xml` (public merge
request 746).
Internal Issues:
* Add a valid usage statement to flink:vkQueueSubmit, and similar language
to the definitions of <<synchronization-queue-transfers-acquire, acquire
operations>> requiring that an acquire operation follow a previous
release of the same subresource (internal issue 1290).
* Add <<resources-image-format-features,Image Format Features>> and
<<resources-image-view-format-features,Image View Format Features>>
sections that precisely define the slink:VkFormatFeatures supported by
images and image views, and rewrite valid usage statements to reference
these sections instead of duplicating language (internal issue 1310).
* Reword and consolidate synchronization valid usage statements for
flink:vkCmdPipelineBarrier such that they correctly account for mutiple
possible self-dependencies (internal issue 1322).
* Change order of <<Standard sample locations>> for 2xMSAA (internal issue
1347).
* Add definitions of "`<<Correctly Rounded>>`" and "`<<ULP>>`" in the
SPIR-V environment appendix, and "`Units in the Last Place (ULP)`" in
the glossary.
New Extensions:
* `VK_NV_device_diagnostic_checkpoints`
associated material at the top level, vk.xml and associated material in
xml/, and generated include and source files in include/vulkan/ and
src/ext_loader/, respectively (public issue 436).
