Jon Leech 08310a88df Change log for November 18, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.34 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 34 for this update.

Github Issues:

  * Allow vkUpdateDescriptorSets overflow to skip empty bindings. Clarify
    that unused bindings have a descriptorCount of zero. Improve some valid
    usage for vkUpdateDescriptorSets (public issue 256).
  * Require that slink:VkImageSubresourceRange always define a non-empty
    range of the resource (public issue 303).
  * Added valid usage for slink:VkPresentInfoKHR on the layout of presented
    images (public issue 397).

Internal Issues:

  * Add dependency in src/spec/Makefile so specversion.txt is regenerated
    when needed (internal issue 462).
  * Shorten the table of contents in the single-page ref page HTML output.
    Still working on the PDF (internal issue 536).

Jon Leech 6cdc56d0d7 Change log for November 11, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.33 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 33 for this update.

Github Issues:

  * Added implicit external synchronization parameters to
    vkBegin/EndCommandBuffer, and fixed missing command pool host
    synchronization from per-command lists (public issue 398).
  * Started using git tags including the spec release number, such as
    'v1.0.32-core', instead of tags including the date of release, such as
    'v1.0-core-20161025' (public issue 405).

Internal Issues:

  * Add validity constraint for
    slink:VkImportMemoryWin32HandleInfoNV::pname:handle (internal issue
    #480).
  * Add scripts to compare two Vulkan HTML specifications, derived from W3
    htmldiff service (internal issue 525).
  * Relax requirement that memoryTypeBits can't depend on format, to allow
    it to differ only for depth/stencil formats (internal issue 544).
  * Add a new generator script to create a simple extension loader for
    Vulkan based on +vk.xml+ (internal issue 558).
  * Add the overlooked requirement that buffer and image memory
    alignment requirements must be a power of two in the
    <<resources-association,Resource Memory Association>> section
    (internal issue 569).

Other Issues:

  * Add a naming rule to the style guide for members of extension structures
    defining array lengths which are the same as array lengths of the core
    structure they are chained from.
  * Add a new generator to create a simple extension loader in
    +src/ext_loader/vulkan_ext.[ch]+ from +vk.xml+. This code can be
    included in your project, and is expected to be packaged in the Vulkan
    SDK provided by LunarG in the future.

Jon Leech 85184f305a 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).

Jon Leech 1ca0ea1ef0 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.

Jon Leech e2d981c029 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).

Jon Leech 6db51e9241 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
    an upper bound, and that it may not be possible to create an image
    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
    specification source copyright.

Jon Leech 5a4c5e5925 Change log for February 25, 2015 Vulkan 1.0.4 spec update:
* Bump API patch number from 3 to 4 for the first public update to the
    spec. Add patch number to the spec title (this will be done
    automatically from XML, later).
  * Fixes for numerous editorial issues. Regularize descriptions of
    variable-length array queries. Properly tag enumerants so they come
    out in the right font (many were mislabeled in usage tags in vk.xml,
    or not tagged). Spelling and markup corrections (public issue 4).
  * Fix typos and clearly separate description of different types of
    memory areas (public issue 5).
  * Use standards-compliant preprocessor guard symbols on headers
    (public issue 7).
  * Note that Github users can't currently set labels on issues, and
    recommend a fallback approach (public issue 15).
  * Use latexmath prefix on len= attributes (public issue 29).
  * Make flink:vkCmdUpdateBuffer pname:dataSize limit consistent (public
    issue 65).
  * Add VK_KHR_mirror_clamp_to_edge extension to core API branch, as an
    optional feature not introducing new commands or enums (internal
    issue 104).
  * Cleanup invariance language inherited from the GL specification to
    not refer to nonexistent (GL-specific) state (internal issue 111).
  * Modify the flink:vkCmdDrawIndexed pname:vertexOffset definition to
    not be the "base offset within the index buffer" but rather the
    "value added to the vertex index before indexing into the vertex
    buffer" (internal issue 118).
  * Fix drawing chapter in the "Programmable Primitive Shading" section
    where it described categories of drawing commands. It referenced
    flink:vkCmdDrawIndexed twice. Replace the second reference with
    flink:vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect (internal issue 119).
  * Typo fixed in <<sparsememory-examples-advanced,Advanced Sparse
    Resources>> sparse memory example (internal issue 122).
  * Add flink:VkDisplayPlaneAlphaFlagsKHR to <require> section of
    VK_KHR_display extension (internal issue 125)
  * Add missing optional="false,true" to
    flink:vkGetImageSparseMemoryRequirements
    pname:pSparseMemoryRequirementCount parameter (internal issue 132)
  * Rename ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_DEBUG_REPORT_CREATE_INFO_EXT to
    ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_DEBUG_REPORT_CALLBACK_CREATE_INFO_EXT
    (internal issue 133)
  * Fix a handful of broken cross-references in the
    <<samplers,Samplers>> chapter (internal issue 134).
  * Fix "Input Attachement" GLSL example to use correct syntax (internal
    issue 135).
  * Update XML schema and documentation to accomodate recently added
    attributes for validity. Add some introductory material describing
    design choices and pointing to the public repository to file issues.
  * Put include of validity in the core spec extensions chapter on its
    own line, so that asciidoc is happy.
  * Fix vertexOffset language to specify that it's the value added to
    the vertex index before indexing into the vertex buffer, not the
    base offset within the index buffer.
  * Fix error in the description of flink:vkCmdNextSubpass.
