Change log for August 12, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.24 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 24 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Fix type mismatch in swapchain image equivalency table (public issue
289).
* Fix a copy-and-paste error in the description of
flink:vkGetSwapchainImagesKHR::pname:pSwapchainImages, that said it
was an array of ``sname:VkSwapchainImageKHR structures'' instead of
an array of ``sname:VkImage handles'' (public issue 292).
* Specify that ename:VK_IMAGE_CREATE_CUBE_COMPATIBLE_BIT is only valid
for ename:VK_IMAGE_TYPE_2D images (public issue 293).
* Add a valid usage statement to flink:vkCmdExecuteCommands saying
that when called outside a render pass instance, the secondary
command buffers must not have been created with the
ename:VK_COMMAND_BUFFER_USAGE_RENDER_PASS_CONTINUE_BIT (public issue
297).
* Fix description of +VK_NO_STDINT_H+ in the
<<boilerplate-platform-macros,platform macros>> section (public
issue 314).
Internal Issues:
* Normalize the language for the remaining built-in variables in the
<<interfaces-builtin-variables,Built-In Variables>> section. Fix
code:FrontFacing and code:HelperInvocation, as they should be of
code:boolean type rather than code:integer (internal issue 323).
* Clarify that when ename:VK_WHOLE_SIZE is used for a buffer
descriptor range, the effective range must still be within the max
buffer range (internal issue 426).
* Clarify that command buffers and descriptor sets are allocated
rather than created. Also clarify when the recording state of a
command buffer is relevant (internal issue 434).

Change log for July 22, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.22 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 22 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Translate the subpass self-dependency language into concrete
validity statements, and added a validity statement about the
restrictions on layout parameters (public issue 267).
* Add validity requirement that
slink:VkAttachmentDescription::pname:finalLayout and
slink:VkAttachmentReference::pname:layout must not be
ename:VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_UNDEFINED or
ename:VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_PREINITIALIZED (public issue 268).
* Clarify that slink:VkSubpassDescription::pname:pResolveAttachments
layouts are used. Make language consistent with other attachment
arrays (public issue 270).
* Changed 64-bit definition for
dname:VK_DEFINE_NON_DISPATCHABLE_HANDLE to work for x32 platform in
+vk.xml+ and the resulting +vulkan.h+ (public issue 282).
* Add missing error return code for
flink:vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties and
flink:vkEnumerateDeviceExtensionProperties (public issue 285)
* Fix several cases of stext::VkStructName.memberName markup to
stext::VkStructName::pname:memberName, to match other usage in the
spec, and describe this markup in the style guide (public issue
286).
* Modified validity language generation script to avoid redundant
common ancestor language if covered by generic parent language, and
used `Both' instead of `Each' when appropriate (public issue 288).
Internal Issues:
* Add language about behavior of flink:vkAllocateDescriptorSets when
allocation fails due to fragmentation, a new error
ename:VK_ERROR_FRAGMENTED_POOL, and a Note explaining the situation
(internal issue 309).
* For the features of code:PointSize, code:ClipDistance, and
code:CullDistance, the SPIR-V capability is required to be declared
on use (read or write) rather than on decoration (internal issue
359).
* Have desktop versions of GLSL respect precision qualification
(code:mediump and code:lowp) when compiling for Vulkan. These will
get translated to SPIR-V's code:RelaxedPrecision decoration as they
do with OpenGL ES versions of GLSL (ESSL). The default precision of
all types is code:highp when using a desktop version (internal issue
360).
* Add validity statement for slink:VkImageCreateInfo specifying that
multisampled images must be two-dimensional, optimally tiled, and
with a single mipmap level (internal issue 369).
* Add validity statements to slink:VkImageViewCreateInfo disallowing
creation of images or image views with no supported features. Made
some slink:VkImageViewCreateInfo validity statements more precise
and consistent. Added a Note to the <<features,features>> chapter
about formats with no features (internal issue 371).
* Remove +manpages+ from default build targets. Nroff outputs
containing imbedded latexmath will not render properly. Fixing this
is a lot of work for limited use cases (internal issue 401).
Other Commits:
* Fix flink:vkRenderPassBeginInfo::pname:clearValueCount validity
statement to be based on attachment indices rather than the number
of cleared attachments
(Vulkan-LoaderAndValidationLayers/issues/601).
* Convert registry documentation from LaTeX to asciidoc source and
rename from +src/spec/readme.tex+ to +src/spec/registry.txt+.
* Fix lack of Oxford commas in validity language.
* Lots of cleanup of generator scripts and Makefiles to move extension
list for generator into the script arguments instead of the body of
genvk.py, and express better dependencies between XML, scripts, and
generated files.

Change log for July 15, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.21 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 21 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Clarify how <<features-supported-sample-counts,sample count queries>>
relate to the limits in slink:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits. (public issue
185).
* Clarify in the <<interfaces-iointerfaces,Shader Input and Output
Interfaces>> section that shader output variables have undefined values
until the shader writes to them (public issue 240).
* Specify the implicit value of image parameters that cannot be set in
slink:VkSwapchainCreateInfo::pname:flags, pname:imageType,
pname:mipLevels, pname:samples, pname:tiling, and pname:initialLayout
(public issue 243).
* Make use of code:NULL and code:VK_NULL_HANDLE consistent in the
VK_KHR_swapchain extension (public issue 276).
Internal Issues:
* Clarify that presenting an image to a display surface swapchain applies
the display surface's mode, and that destroying a display surface
swapchain may reset the display's mode, in the VK_KHR_display_swapchain
extension (internal issue 247).
* Better describe what a slink:VkSurfaceKHR is, and that creating one does
not set a mode, in the VK_KHR_display extension. This is a round-about
way of pointing out that mode setting is not covered by the extension,
but rather is performed as a side effect of presentation (internal issue
247).
* Add more valid usage statements to flink:vkQueuePresentKHR command when
the VK_KHR_display_swapchain extension is present (internal issue
247).
* Add more includes to the VK_KHR_swapchain extension to better document
interactions with VK_KHR_display_swapchain (internal issue 247).
* Clarify restrictions on location aliasing in the
<<fxvertex,Fixed-Function Vertex Processing>> section (internal issue
370).
* Add mathematical description of blitting to flink:vkCmdBlitImage, and
link it to the <<textures,Image Operations>> chapter. Use mathematical
notation for ranges of texel coordinates in the <<textures,Image
Operations>> chapter. Fixed miscellaneous validity statements for
flink:vkCmdBlit and slink:VkImageBlit (internal issue 382).
Other Commits:
* Added a valid usage rule to flink:VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo that the
ename:VK_PRIMITIVE_TOPOLOGY_PATCH_LIST topology must only be used when
tessellation shaders are used.
* Expand the style guide into a formal "Procedures and Conventions"
document. Add a API Naming Conventions section, move most of the API
Specification Appendix C (Layers and Extensions) content into the new
document, and define the resulting procedures as mandatory (where
relevant). This more clearly separates use vs. specification of Vulkan
APIs.
* Update vk_platform.h to handle 32-bit ARMv8 binaries.
* Various minor cleanups to the Makefile and build process.

Change log for July 10, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.20 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 20 for this
update.
Github Issues:
* Replaced existing reference pages by text automatically extracted
from the specification source, or generated from vk.xml in some
cases. This isn't a complete solution for the reference pages, but
puts them in a much better state. The ref pages (only) are now
placed under a CC BY open source license, which is more current than
the obsolete license previously used.
Further improvements to the pages should not edit them directly, but
instead concentrate on the specification source from which the ref
pages are being extracted (public issues 44, 55, 160; internal issue
389).

Change log for July 1, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.19 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 19 for this
update.
Github Issues:
* Clarified how flink:vkGetImageSubresourceLayout interacts with image
layouts (public issue 247).
* Remove ename:VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_PREINITIALIZED from valid usage rule for
slink:VkImageMemoryBarrier::pname:oldLayout. It is only valid if it is
the current layout (public issue 248).
* Modify valid usage for flink:vkBindBufferMemory so implementations are
free to require a different backing memory size than the buffer size
(public issue 251).
* Clarify that filtering rules for flink:vkCmdBlitImage always apply, and
are usually no-ops if the formats are the same (public issue 253).
* Remove 'non-sparse' from description of
flink:vkGetBufferMemoryRequirements and
flink:vkGetImageMemoryRequirements (public issue 257).
* Remove ename:VK_ERROR_LAYER_NOT_PRESENT error code from
flink:vkCreateDevice (public issue 259).
* Change "must not" to "should not" in constraint on when
flink:vkAcquireNextImageKHR is called in the +VK_KHR_swapchain+ branch
(public issue 262).
* Change type of flink:vkCmdUpdateBuffer::pname:pData from
basetype:uint32_t* to basetype:void* (public issue 263).
* Change should: to must: in description of where additional segments are
placed in the <<[tessellation-tessellator-spacing,Tessellator Spacing>>
section (public issue 264).
Internal Issues:
* Normalize the language of all the compute shader built-ins in the
<<interfaces-builtin-variables,Built-in Variables>> section (internal
issue 323).
* Remove definition of presentation engine internal queue lengths
associated with ename:VK_PRESENT_MODE_FIFO_KHR and
ename:VK_PRESENT_MODE_FIFO_RELAXED_KHR in the <<Window System
Integration,wsi>> chapter (internal issue 374).
* The language of a Note was too broad, and implied that loaders for a
given OS would statically export functions for WSI extensions that
weren't relevant to (or supported on) the OS. Also, removed
"Khronos-provided" since the Android loader isn't (internal issue 380)
Other Commits:
* Add ename:VK_INCOMPLETE to list of return values for
flink:vkGetPipelineCacheData. Spec says this value is returnable, but it
wasn't listed in the error codes.
* Fix "correponds" typo in member definitions for
slink:VkSubpassDescription.

Change log for June 24, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.18 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 18 for this
update.
Github Issues:
* Added "queue operation" terminology, and modified spec to actually
use this terminology (public issue 155). The act of submitting a
piece of work to a queue now generates "operations" for the queue to
execute, including operations to wait on/signal semaphores and
fences. Synchronization waits on these operations, making execution
dependency chains more obvious for semaphores and fences (though
additional work is still needed here). These changes include:
** Overview of "queue submission" commands in chapter
<<devsandqueues-submission>>.
** Updated descriptions for fence and semaphore waits and signals in
the synchronization chapter <<synchronization-semaphores-waiting>>,
<<synchronization-semaphores-signaling>> and
<<synchronization-fences-waiting>>.
** Clarifications to semaphore and fence operation within queue
submission functions.
** New glossary terms.
** Moved device idle and queue wait idle to synchronization chapter in
order to describe them in terms of other synchronization
primitives.
** Clarifications to semaphore and fence operation allowed removal of
the "implicit ordering guarantees" section, as this information is
now wholly covered where these primitives are described.
*** The "host writes" section of this is still there for now - in its
own section. This could probably be merged into other sections
later.
*** Modified fundamentals chapter on queue ordering to make sense in
context of the new changes, and avoid duplication.
<<fundamentals-queueoperation>>
* Added "aspect" and "component" definitions to the glossary, and made
sure these terms are referenced correctly (public issue 163).
* Update valid usage for ftext:vkGet*ProcAddr to only include
conditions that must be met to get a valid result. In particular,
it's okay to call flink:vkGetDeviceProcAddr with any string and will
get a code:NULL if that string is not a core Vulkan function or an
enabled extension function (addresses but does not fully close
public issue 214).
* Change the WSI extension dependencies to refer to version 1.0 of the
Vulkan API, instead of the pre-1.0-release internal revisions
numbers (public issue 238).
* Specified that <<interfaces-fragmentoutput,undeclared fragment
shader outputs>> result in undefined values input to the blending
unit or color attachment (public issue 240).
Internal Issues:
* Better documented that the registry XML "optional" tag for values
only applies when that value is the size of an array (internal issue
335).
* Add a stronger definition for the valid usages of
VkSpecializationMapEntry.size in the
<<pipelines-specialization-constants,Specialization Constants>>
section (internal issue 345).
* Change code:OpName to code:OpDecorate (along with appropriate
syntax) for vertex shader built-ins (internal issue 368).
* Add missing ref pages (those which are not currently stubs) to
apispec.txt for the single-page version of the ref pages (internal
issue 378).
Other Commits:
* Fix example in the <<descriptorsets,Descriptor Sets>> section to use
M, N, and I, describing set, binding, and index, consistently
throughout the example code.

Change log for June 17, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.17 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 17 for this
update.
Github Issues:
* Update description of vertex shader reuse in
<<shaders-vertex-execution>> (public issue 106).
* Simplify validity language around pname:ppEnabledExtensionNames and
pname:ppEnabledLayerNames (in the <<initialization-instances>> and
<<devsandqueues-device-creation>> sections) (public issue 214).
* Add missing validity rule to flink:vkCmdBeginRenderPass requiring
compatibility between slink:VkAttachmentDescription pname:initalLayout
members and the corresponding attached framebuffer images (public issue
233).
* Fix Unicode arrows appearing in output instead of relational operators
(public issue 239).
* Correctly describe the required number of elements for
code:TessLevelInner and code:TessLevelOuter arrays in the
<<interfaces-builtin-variables,Built-In Variables>> section as two and
four, respectively, instead of the other way around, and refer to this
section from the <<tessellation,Tessellation>> chapter (public issue
246).
Internal Issues:
* Document deprecation of ename:VK_COLORSPACE_SRGB_NONLINEAR_KHR in the
VK_KHR_surface extension branch, and of
ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_DEBUG_REPORT_CREATE_INFO_EXT in the
VK_EXT_debug_report branch (internal issue 328).
* Added language to define what a valid usage statement is and should be,
with a note about some apparent weirdnesses this might entail (internal
issue 357).
Other Commits:
* Added missing ename:VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST error to
flink:vkQueueBindSparse.

Change log for June 10, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.16 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 16 for this
update.
Github Issues:
* Clarify that integer border values are meant to be 0/1, and that
integer texture lookups are sign-extended in the
<<textures-format-conversion,Format Conversion>> and
<<textures-texel-replacement,Texel Replacement>> sections (public
issue 52).
* Add logic to generate spec boilerplate without using the 'git'
command-line client, needed when building from a tarball or another
source of the Vulkan tree rather than a cloned git repo. Remove
boilerplate as part of 'clean' target (public issue 195).
* Document that color writes and clears to unused attachments have no
effect for slink:VkClearAttachment and
elink:VkColorComponentFlagBits (public issue 198).
* Fixed flink:vkCmdExecuteCommands validity statement for
sname:VkCommandBufferInheritanceInfo::pname:framebuffer. If used, it
must match the framebuffer in the current renderpass instance
(public issue 226).
* Added valid usage language to require for all functions that set
dynamic state that the currently bound graphics pipeline has the
corresponding dynamic state enabled (public issue 235).
Internal Issues:
* Clarify for flink:vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties, in the
<<extended-functionality-instance-extensions-and-devices, Instance
Extensions and Device Extensions>> section, and in the
<<glossary,Glossary>> section when functionality should be exposed
as an instance extension, as a device extension, or as both
(internal issue 109).
* Place WorkgroupSize in alphabetical order in the
<<interfaces-builtin-variables,Built-in Variables>> section
(internal issue 323).
* Corrects valid usage in vkEndRenderPass to only affect primary
render passes, as secondaries may be entirely within a render pass,
and should be able to be ended (previous language disallowed that)
(internal issue 338).
* Fix relational operator from <= to >= in the
<<features-extentperimagetype,Allowed Extent Values>> section
(internal issue 343).
* Disallow recursion under SPIR-V entry points in the
<<spirvenv-module-validation,Validation Rules within a Module>>
section (internal SPIR-V issue 37).
Other Commits:
* Use standard Python ElementTree package instead of lxml.etree in
header / validation layer / include autogeneration from XML,
reducing platform dependencies.

Interface to specify code:UniformConstant storage class (public issue
156).
* Disallow lazily allocated memory for buffers in the description of
slink:VkMemoryRequirements::pname:memoryTypeBits (public issue 196).
* Add numbered figure captions (public issue 219).
* Fix output variable names in the <<fundamentals-fpfixedconv,Conversion
from Floating-Point to Normalized Fixed-Point>> section and related
minor normative language and markup cleanup (public issue 220).
Internal Issues:
* Fix reference to nonexistent etext:VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_TRANSFER_{SRC,DST}BIT
to the actual etext:VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT{SRC,DST}_OPTIMAL (internal issue
296).
* Update the <<sparsememory-sparse-memory-aliasing,Sparse Resource
Implementation Guidelines>> to refer to the correct feature names
(internal issue 305).

* Bump API patch number and header version number to 14 for this
update.
Github Issues:
* Fix validity language for sname:VkCommandBufferAllocateInfo to
impose range limits on pname:commandBufferCount (public issue 178).
* Fix validity language for flink:vkCmdExecuteCommands to refer to the
correct structure names (public issue 179).
* Fix two copy-and-paste errors in the WSI queries, where the wrong
term was used for what was being returned (public issue 206).
* Add a note in the documentation of
flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceFormatsKHR, about what it means if
ename:VK_FORMAT_UNDEFINED is returned (public issue 207).
Internal Issues:
* Clarify the usage and correct the name for the bitmask referenced in
<<queries-pipestats,Pipeline Statistics Queries>> (internal issue
334).
Other Commits:
* Fix the names of decorations listed in the

Github Issues:
* Improve the description of ename:VK_PRESENT_MODE_FIFO_RELAXED_KHR in the
VK_KHR_surface extension (public issue 174).
* Clarify use of etext:*_SIMULTANEOUS_USE_BIT for secondary command
buffers (public issue 182).
* Fix typos in VK_KHR_wayland_surface extension where code:wl_device was
used instead of code:wl_display (public issue 193).
* Replaced {apiname} with ``Vulkan'' in XML validity statements (public
issue 199).
* Fix dead links for WSI handle types (public issue 200).
*** N.b. this needs to be done in WSI branches as well ***
* Use "signaled" instead of "signalled" spelling everywhere (public issue
201).
*** N.b. this needs to be done in WSI branches as well ***
* Move readme.pdf target directory for XML schema documentation into the
target generation directory, instead of leaving it checked into the spec
source tree (public issue 203).
*** N.b. need to add generated PDF to registry index/1.0 page
* Fix duplicate 'which which' typo in description of
elink:VkCommandPoolResetFlagBits (public issue 204).
* Move the <<Programmable Primitive Shading>> section up one level, out of
the <<drawing-primitive-topologies,Primitive Topologies>> section
(public issue 209).
Internal Issues:
* Clarify in the <<pipelines-cache,Pipeline Cache>> section that
implementations should not manage the size of pipeline cache (internal
issue 192).
* Deprecate the concept of device layers and associated commands (internal
issue 255).
* Remove ename:VK_INCOMPLETE from the list of possible result codes of
flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR (internal issue 314).
* Add missing std140/std430 rule: the base alignment of a member following
a structure is a multiple of the structure's base alignment (internal
issue 321).
* Fixes naming of the single elink:VkColorSpaceKHR enum from
ename:VK_COLORSPACE_SRGB_NONLINEAR_KHR to
ename:VK_COLOR_SPACE_SRGB_NONLINEAR_KHR in XML/header and the
VK_KHR_swapchain and VK_KHR_surface extensions to match the style of the
typename (space and color are two words, not one) (internal issue 322).
* Make it clear that code:LocalInvocationID should only be applied to an
input variable and normalize the language describing
code:LocalInvocationID to the language for other compute shader
variables in the <<interfaces-builtin-variables,Built-in Variables>>
section, and add normative language (internal issue 323).
* Clarify in the <<fundamentals-returncodes,Return Codes>> section that
the result pointer may be modified for specific commands, even if a
runtime error is returned (internal issue 324).

proposed in public pull requests 144, 150, 151, 167, 168, 181, and
186.
* Use *strict subset* in describing the partial order of memory
property types for slink:VkMemoryType, and update the style guide
accordingly (public issue 190).
* Fix various "a image" -> "an image" typos (public issue 191).
* Note in the <<fundamentals-validusage,Valid Usage>> and
<<extensions-interactions,Extension Interactions>> sections that
structures defined by extensions which may be passed in structure
chains using the ptext:pNext member must: include initial
ptext:sType and ptext:pNext members (public issue 192).
Internal Issues:
* Remove duplicate language from the description of the pname:fence
parameter to flink:vkQueueSubmit and improve validity language
(internal issue 91).
* Added documentation for "optional" attribute to XML readme.tex/pdf
(internal issue 149).

* Add missing validity statements to flink:vkResetEvent and
flink:vkCmdResetEvent.
* Fix validity for the
ename:VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_FILTER_LINEAR_BIT flag.
Correct all the draw/dispatch commands to mention optimally tiled
images as well as linear tiled images, and say image VIEWS instead
of images. Add validity statement to flink:vkCmdBlitImage
* Replace the {apiname} macro with hardcoded "Vulkan", now that we've
committed to that name.
* Add the VK_AMD_rasterization_order extension to vk.xml.

Change log for April 22, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.11 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 11 for this
update.
Github Issues:
* Clarify the WSI extension language by switching from the fuzzier
"ownership" language to more-consistent "acquire" language (public
issue 117).
* Clarify that memory barriers apply to all commands in the dependency
chains in the flink:vkGetRenderAreaGranularity command and the
<<synchronization-execution-and-memory-dependencies,Execution And
Memory Dependencies>> section (public issue 132).
* Clarify that a queue family is a set of queues in the
<<fundamentals-execmodel,Execution Model>> section (public issue
166).
* Removed requirement from valid usage language that
VkPresentInfoKHR::waitSemaphoreCount must be greater than 0 (public
issue 171).
* Fix broken internal links, describe structures consistently, use
consistent style for SPIR-V codewords, and tag normative terms that
were missing asciidoc tags (public issue 183 and ancillary
markup/normative language fixes).
* Fix typos for slink:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits member names in
slink:VkImageCreateInfo validity language (public issue 184).
Internal Issues:
* Document that the requested patch version number specified as part
of slink:VkApplicationInfo::pname:apiVersion is ignored when
creating an instance (internal issue 176).
* Clarify handling of extension structs in the
<<fundamentals-validusageValid Usage>> section (internal issue 254).
* Update required slink:VkImageFormatProperties::pname:maxMipLevels to
be limited to the maximum allowed mipmap pyramid size corresponding
to the actual maximum supported size for the format (internal issue
256).
* Modify the <<features-extentperimagetype,Allowed Extent Values Based
On Image Type>> section so the allowed maximum extent is the maximum
image dimension supported for each dimension of the type of texture
being queried (internal issue 257).
* Clarify in the <<spirvenv-module-validation,Validation Rules within
a Module>> section that at least one of the code:LocalSize execution
mode or code:WorkgroupSize decoration is required for each compute
shader entry point in a shader module (internal issue 279).
* Add validity rules for formats in flink:vkCmdClearColorImage and
flink:vkCmdClearDepthStencilImage (internal issue 283).
* Clarify that slink:VkImageFormatProperties::pname:maxResourceSize is

anywhere near that size (internal issue 284).
Other Commits:
* Fix various minor markup errors reported by validation scripts.
* Change copyright from Khronos Free Use License to Apache 2.0 license
on relevant script/XML/header files. This does not affect the

Change log for April 15, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.10 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 10 for this
update.
Github Issues:
* Slightly tweak the <<memory-allocation,Host Memory>> allocator language
so that an application wrapping the standard C alloc/free/realloc
functions is still correct - the previous language was too strong with
regards to freeing memory. Also made certain scenarios clearer - an
implementation may now continue without error if an allocation failed
and it is able to continue correctly (public issue 21).
* Require that etext:VK_*_CREATE_SPARSE_BINDING_BIT is set when the
corresponding etext:VK_*_CREATE_SPARSE_RESIDENCY_BIT is used, in the
<<sparsememory-miptail,Mip Tail Regions>> section and related commands
flink:vkCreateBuffer and flink:vkCreateImage (public issue 84).
* Update the <<features,Features, Limits, and Formats>> chapter to clarify
interactions between optional features and dynamic state for the
pname:depthBiasClamp and pname:wideLines features (public issue 89).
* Describe the code:WorkgroupSize builtin in the
<<interfaces-builtin-variables,Built-In Variables>> section, and update
the <<compute-shaders,Compute Shaders>> section to further clarify how
to set the number of workgroups to execute in a compute shader (public
issue 145).
* Use the term *image subresource* everywhere instead of *subresource*,
except for the special case of *host-accessible subresource*, which may
be either an image subresource or buffer range (public issue 120)
* Add a note to the <<features,Features, Limits, and Formats>> section
about extensibility of structures (Public issue 165).
* Fix return code flink:vkAcquireNextImageKHR when the timeout parameter
is 0 to ename:VK_NOT_READY instead of ename:VK_TIMEOUT (public issue
170).
* Fix typo in slink:VkLayerProperties::pname:apiVersion field (public
issue 172).
Internal Issues:
* Fix a few minor internally-detected typos.
* Minor formatting tweaks to pseudocode in the <<resources,Resource
Creation>> chapter (internal issue 179).
* Fix typo in the definition of point sampling for
elink:VkCullModeFlagBits (internal issue 268).

Change log for April 8, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.9 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 9 for this
update.
Github Issues:
* Fix memory type preorder definition and clarify example list and source
code for slink:VkMemoryRequirements and slink:VkMemoryHeap (public issue
26).
* Ensure slink:VkAllocationCallbacks are properly defined (public issue
73).
* Clarify the WSI extension language by switching from the fuzzier
"ownership" language to more-consistent "acquire" language (public issue
117).
* Add language allowing allocation and freeing of memory scoped to the
duration of any API command in the <<memory-allocation,Memory
Allocation>> section (public issue 136).
* Clarify the explicit location assignment always overrides the inherited
location in the <<interfaces-iointerfaces-locations,Location
Assignment>> section, even for the first member of a block (public issue
141).
* Fixed references to
slink:VkCommandBufferInheritanceInfo::pname:pipelineStatistics (public
issue 158).
* Fix name of slink:VkBufferCopy::pname:size field in validity language
for flink:vkCmdCopyBuffer (public issue 162).
Internal Issues:
* Update GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl specification to clarify disallowance of
spec-const arrays in initializers (internal issue 248).
* Clarify <<interfaces-iointerfaces-matching,Interface Matching>> section
to state that user-defined variable interface must match too (internal
issue 250).

Change log for April 1, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.8 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 8 for this
update.
Github Issues:
* Specify in the validity language for flink:vkBeginCommandBuffer that
pname:commandBuffer mustnot: currently be pending execution (public
issue 96).
* Describe depth comparison using the correct temporary variable names
in the <<textures-depth-compare-operation,Depth Compare Operation>>
section (public issue 100).
* Clarify the order of descriptor update operations in the
flink:vkUpdateDescriptorSets command (public issue 115).
* Specify in the VK_KHR_swapchain extension that
flink:vkAcquireNextImageKHR's pname:semaphore and pname:fence
parameters cannot both be sname:VK_NULL_HANDLE (partly addresses,
but does not fully close, public issue 117 / internal issue 246).
* Change reference to the "lifetime" of a Vulkan command to
"duration", and define the "duration" term (public issue 135).
* Added valid usage language for slink:VkImageLayout to require both
pname:height and pname:depth to be 1 for 1D images and pname:depth
to be 1 for 2D images (public issue 137).
* Fix SPIR-V example code in the
<<descriptorsets-inputattachment,Input Attachment>> section to
properly decorate the code:InputAttachmentIndex (public issue 139).
* Fix reference to nonexistent pname:imageInfo in the description of
flink:VkWriteDescriptorSet to refer to pname:pImageInfo (public
issue 140).
Internal Issues:
* Link to the fixed-function vertex chapter from the drawing chapter
(internal issue #110)
* Fix typo in slink:VkImageCreateInfo validity language:
ptext:maxExtent.sampleCounts -> pname:sampleCounts (internal issue
249).
* Explain why the non-core token etext:VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_PRESENT_SRC_KHR
is used in the example in the
<<synchronization-semaphores,Semaphores>> section (internal issue
251).
* Attempt to clarify in the VK_KHR_android_surface extension's
<<platformQuerySupport_android,Android Platform Support>> section
that there is no Android-specific WSI query, and why (internal issue
252).
Other Commits:
* Add missing language about ename:VK_INCOMPLETE being returned from
array queries when the passed array is too short, in the
VK_KHR_display, VK_KHR_swapchain, and VK_KHR_surface extensions.

Change log for March 25, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.7 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 7 for this
update.
Github Issues:
* Fix slink:VkSpecializationMapEntry example to avoid C/C++ strict
aliasing issues (public issue 14).
* Clarify the meaning of "matching" in flink:vkCmdBindDescriptorSets
validity language (public issue 33).
* Add stub reference pages so xrefs to not-yet-written pages don't
generate 404 errors. However, the actual content of these pages
still needs to be filled in as time allows (public issue 44, but
does not close that issue out).
* Remove incorrect validity statement for
flink:vkGetImageSparseMemoryRequirements (public issue 85).
* Reword the
<<features-limits-bufferImageGranularity,bufferImageGranularity>>
feature in terms of "aliasing", and clarify that it applies to
bindings in the same memory object (public issue 90).
* Clarify the relationship of the slink:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits
pname:maxViewportDimensions and pname:viewportBoundsRange limits
(public issue 92).
* Specify sparse unbound texture replacement in the
<<textures-texel-replacement,Texel Replacement>> section
independently of robust buffer access language (public issue 100).
* Add the <<fundamentals-architecture-model,Architecture Model>>
section to explain architecture constraints Vulkan has chosen to
accept in order to enable portable and performant code (public issue
122).
* State that an object must not be destroyed until *all* (not *any*)
uses of that object have completed (public issue 123).
* Minor editorial cleanup (public issues 129, 134, 146, 148).
* Add validity language for layer and extension names to
slink:VkDeviceCreateInfo matching that used for
slink:VkInstanceCreateInfo (public issue 130).
* Clean up terminology for the case when the bits set in one bitmask
are a subset of the bits set in another bitmask (public issue 138).
* Document that input attachments are UniformConstant not Input, in
the <<interfaces-inputattachment,Fragment Input Attachment
Interface>> section (public glslang bug 169).
Internal Issues:
* Add max enum values to "flag bits" enums (internal issue #136).
* Clarify language around the various uses of the term "block" in the
<<appendix-compressedtex-bc,Block Compressed Image Formats>> section
(internal issue #202).
* Removed "expand" dependency from <enums> groups in vk.xml and added
auto-generation code in the scripts to infer it instead, to ensure
consistency. This caused renaming of sname:VkColorSpaceKHR and
sname:VkPresentModeKHR etext:BEGIN_RANGE (etc.) tokens, but those
tokens are metadata, not part of the API, and the Vulkan WG is OK
with this change. This change adds ranges to two additional enums
that were missing them due to not defining the "expand" attribute
(internal issue 217).
* Tweak makefile to generate ref page nroff (.3) files in the right
output directory, working around an a2x limitation (internal issue
223).
Other Commits:
* Add validity requirements for flink:vkCmdCopyQueryPoolResults
pname:dstBuffer parameter.
* Fix ref page build to generate .3 targets in the right output
directory.

Change log for March 10, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.6 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 6 for this
update.
Github Issues:
* Define 'invocation group' for compute and graphics shaders. Cleanup
definition and use of 'workgroup', and add glossary entries (public
issue 1).
* Various minor editorial fixes (public issue 33).
* Clarify locations for block members in the
<<interfaces-iointerfaces-locations,Location Assignment>>
section (public issue 45).
* Editorial fixes for <<commandbuffer-allocation,Command Buffer
Allocation>> section (public issues 54, 59).
* Clarify behavior of depth test in the <<fragops-depth,Depth
Test>> section (public issues 80, 81).
* Remove discussion of return codes from
flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSparseImageFormatProperties and
flink:vkGetImageSparseMemoryRequirements, which don't return values
(public issue 82).
* Allow flink:vkCmdDrawIndirect and flink:vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect
pname:drawCount of 0, as well as 1, when the multiDrawIndirect
feature is not supported (public issue 88).
* Remove confusing wording in the <<features-limits,Limits>>
section describing the slink:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits
pname:minTexelBufferOffsetAlignment,
pname:minUniformBufferOffsetAlignment, and
pname:minStorageBufferOffsetAlignment members as both minimums and
maximums (public issue 91).
* Clarified that only the RGB components should be affected in places
where sRGB is referred to in the spec, such as ASTC formats. Minor
re-wording to avoid "color space" when actively incorrect, now that
we refer to the Data Format Spec which actually makes a distinction
between color space and transfer function (public issue 94).
* Treat pname:pPropertyCount == 0 consistently in
flink:vkEnumerateInstanceLayerProperties and
flink:vkEnumerateDeviceLayerProperties (public issue 99)
* Cleanup minor editorial issues in chapters 14-17 (public issue 100).
* Clarify definition of flink:vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties
and flink:vkEnumerateDeviceExtensionProperties (public issue 101).
* Define the flink:vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties and
flink:vkEnumerateDeviceExtensionProperties pname:pLayerName
parameter to be a pointer to a null-terminated UTF-8 string (public
issue 101).
* Rearrange "Missing information" references in mandatory format
tables (public issue 101).
* Clarify that the enumerated extensions returned by
flink:vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties and
flink:vkEnumerateDeviceExtensionProperties will only include
extensions provided by the platform or extensions implemented in
implicitly enabled layers (public issue 101).
* Miscellaneous editorial fixes. Include the Vulkan spec patch number
in the PDF title. Fix label on <<fig-non-strict-lines,Non
strict lines>> diagram. Use more easily distinguished symbols in
tables in the <<features-required-format-support,Required
Format Support>> section. Don't require FQDNs used as layer names be
encoded in lower case if not possible, in the
<<extensions-naming-conventions, Extension and Layer Naming
Conventions>> section (public issues 101, 119, 121).
Internal Issues:
* Fixed excessive spacing in tables in XHTML (internal issue 18).
* Clarify that ename:VK_COMMAND_BUFFER_USAGE_ONE_TIME_SUBMIT_BIT
applies to secondary command buffers. Previously spec only referred
to the members of pname:pCommandBuffers being affected by this bit.
Added a separate slink:VkSubmitInfo Valid Usage restriction
specifying that ename:VK_COMMAND_BUFFER_USAGE_ONE_TIME_SUBMIT_BIT
also applies to any secondary command buffers that are recorded into
the primary command buffers in pname:pCommandBuffers (internal issue
106).
* Clarify that slink:VkDeviceCreateInfo::pname:pEnabledFeatures can be
NULL (internal issue 117).
* Remove "the value of" where it is redundant (e.g. speaking of an API
parameter, struct member, or SPIR-V variable, but not when speaking
of color components) (internal issue 175).
* Forced patch version to always be 0 in the header. Add a
"VK_API_VERSION_<major>_<minor>" macro for people to use to do the
right thing. Add a VK_HEADER_VERSION which captures the header
release number independent of the spec patch number (internal issue
176).
* Correct description of
slink:VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo::pname:pName to "a pointer to
a null-terminated UTF-8 string" (internal issue #197).
Other Commits:
* Updated DataFormat spec reference to the new date for revision 5 of
that spec.
* Fixed KEEP option (to retain LaTeX intermediate files) in the
Makefile to be included when edited there, as well as set on the
command line.
* Reserve and add "VK_IMG_filter_cubic" to the registry, and implement
script functionality to add and remove validity from existing
functions. Includes schema and readme changes.
* Update GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl so push_constants do not have descriptor
sets.
