Change log for November 27, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.66 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 66 for this update. Github Issues: * Clarified how and when ename:VK_ERROR_TOO_MANY_OBJECTS is generated in flink:vkAllocate Memory, and remove incorrect valid usage statement about exceeding the API limit (public issue 356). * Minor clarification of the description of flink:vkUpdateDescriptorSetWithTemplateKHR::pname:descriptorUpdateTemplate (public issue 564). * Minor fixes for flink:vkCmdSetViewportWScalingNV (public pull request 588). * Fix random name markup issues (public pull request 603). * Fix code:BuiltIn decoration typo in the <<fxvertex-attrib, Vertex Attributes>> section (public pull request 606). * Fix synchronization language following the definition of flink:vkAcquireNextImageKHR (public issue 607). * Restore descriptions of several commands and structures missing from the generated spec due to a mistyped asciidoctor conditional (public issue 612). * Fix 1.0.41 changelog to refer to public issues 403/404 (public issue 618). Internal Issues: * Refactor valid usage statements with internal conditionals in `copies.txt`, `pipelines.txt`, `renderpass.txt`, and `resources.txt` so each branch of the conditional appears as a standalone statement which can contain a separate VUID. This should have no impact on the generated specs, but is necessary given the present state of the VU extractor and the validation layer code that consumes them (internal issue 1043). * Fix VkQueueGlobalPriorityEXT enum values missing _EXT suffix (internal issue 1045). * Clarified initial ownership of resources bound to shared memory objects, (internal issue 1068). * Fix duplicated valid usage ID tag for flink:vkCmdCopyImage, and make the required layouts include ename:VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_TRANSFER_SRC_OPTIONAL in both cases (internal issue 1084). Other Issues: * Remove the noise functions from GLSL for SPIR-V for Vulkan in the `GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl.txt` extension. New Extensions: * `VK_EXT_external_memory_host` * `VK_EXT_external_memory_dma_buf` * `VK_EXT_queue_family_foreign` |

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` |

Change log for October 13, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.63 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 63 for this update. Github Issues: * Add missing valid usage statements for ptext:maxDescriptorSets*, ptext:maxPerStageDescriptorInputAttachments, and ptext:maxPerStageResources to slink:VkPipelineLayoutCreateInfo.txt, flink:VkComputePipelineCreateInfo, and flink:VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo (public issue 546). * Fix typos in ftext:vkCmdDraw*AMD descriptions (public pull request 549). * Fixed flink:vkCmdWriteTimestamp so it is not unnecessarily restricted to queues supporting graphics or compute operations (public issue 558). * Improvements to valid usage generator for output `*Flags` pointer parameters and for some `void *` parameters (public pull requests 560, 562). * Document `altlen` attribute in XML schema as valid C99 syntax and tweak `vk.xml` to match (public pull request 566). * Clarify when pname:fence is signaled by flink:vkQueueSubmit in a more obvious place (public issue 577). Internal Issues: * Specify a whitelist of supported SPIR-V Storage Classes in the <<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a Module>> appendix (internal SPIR-V issue 166). * Relax the shared semaphore wait timeout requirement in the <<synchronization-semaphores-importing, Importing Semaphore Payloads>> section (internal issue 820). * Update the <<textures-image-level-selection, Image Level(s) Selection>> equations so that the parameters returned by the level-of-detail query appear explicitly, also fixing the issue that linear filtering would select a level below the base level for magnification (internal issue 926). * Disallow creation of a swapchain with zero pname:imageExtent in slink:VkSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR and slink:VkSwapchainCreateInfoKHR (internal issue 1020). Other Issues: * Clarify in <<textures-operation-validation,Image View Validation>> that the layout of subresources in an image view must have a layout that matches that written into the descriptor, and that this section is about validating image views, not images. New Extensions: * `VK_EXT_global_priority` |

Change log for October 6, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.62 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 62 for this update. Github Issues: * Move asciidoc conditionals for `VK_KHR_maintenance1` in slink:VkDescriptorSetAllocateInfo so valid usage statements for `VK_KHR_push_descriptor` aren't accidentally removed when the first extension isn't enabled (public issue 573). * Fixed errors in API example code for flink:vkUpdateDescriptorSetWithTemplateKHR and flink:vkCmdPushDescriptorSetWithTemplateKHR (public issue 577). Internal Issues: * Specify constraints on concurrent access to fences that share payload in the <<synchronization-fences-importing, Importing Fence Payloads>> and <<synchronization-semaphores-waiting-state, Semaphore State Requirements For Wait Operations>> sections (internal issue 820). * Define the term "`retired swapchain`", reorganize some swapchain language, and improve language for pname:oldSwapchain in flink:VkSwapchainCreateInfoKHR, the <<swapchain-wsi-image-create-info>> table, flink:vkDestroySwapchainKHR, and flink:vkAcquireNextImage2KHX (internal issue 869). * Describe in the <<writing-arrays, Describing Properties of Array Elements>> section of the style guide how and when to use "`each`" and "`any`" to refer to properties of array elements, and make those uses in the specification consistent (internal issue 884). * Clarified that events cannot be used for cross-queue synchronization in the <<synchronization-events, Events>> section and for flink:vkCmdWaitEvents (internal issue 970). * Add success and error codes to +vk.xml+ for flink:vkCreateValidationCacheEXT (internal issue 995). * Clarify aspect mask usage for image memory barriers of multi-plane images in slink:VkImageSubresourceRange, slink:VkImageMemoryBarrier, and the <<textures-layout-validation, Layout Validation>> section (internal issue 996). Other Issues: * Fixed typo in flink:VkRenderPassSampleLocationsBeginInfoEXT (renamed field pname:pSubpassSampleLocations to pname:pPostSubpassSampleLocations). * Add missing buffer usage requirements for indirect draws in flink:vkCmdDrawIndirect, flink:vkCmdDrawIndirectCountAMD, flink:vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect, and flink:vlCmdDrawIndexedIndirectCountAMD. * Modify Makefile to allow specification to build in git "`detached HEAD`" state. * Update valid usage ID generation script to allow recursively operating on all `.txt` files in a specified directory, and move the `startVUID` tracking information into a separate python file that is automatically updated by the script.

Change log for September 15, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.61 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 61 for this update. Github Issues: * Provide alternate length attributes (altlen=) in the XML schema, for those using length attributes to generate code instead of documentation (public issue 555). * Fix erroneous references to `latex:` being used for asciidoc math markup, rather than `latexmath:` (public pull request 556). * Add author ID to XML for Kazan software renderer (public pull request 557). Internal Issues: * Add the <<fundamentals-abi,Application Binary Interface>> section describing platform ABI requirements and recommendations, add examples of function and function pointer declarations to the <<boilerplate-platform-specific-calling-conventions, Platform-Specific Calling Conventions>> section, and remove related language that existed elsewhere in the specification (internal issue 64). * Describe where to document valid usage interactions of chained structures in the style guide, and fix one case now appearing in slink:VkBufferCreateInfo instead of the child slink:VkDedicatedAllocationBufferCreateInfoNV structure (internal issue 715). * Add example to the style guide of describing enumerated types which are empty when the spec is built without relevant extensions enabled, and apply it to existing examples for elink:VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateFlagBits and elink:VkSubpassDescriptionFlagBits (internal issue 864). * Add a note to the <<fundamentals-validusage-enums, Valid Usage for Enumerated Types>> section that the special values suffixed with etext:_BEGIN_RANGE, etext:_END_RANGE, etext:_RANGE_SIZE and etext:_MAX_ENUM are not part of the API and should: not be used by applications (internal issue 872). * Added note to flink:vkCmdUpdateBuffers explaining the performance penalty for copies done in this way, and why the upper copy limit is what it is (internal issue 952). * Update `VK_KHX_device_group` to split some functionality into the new `VK_KHR_bind_memory2` extension, and rename that functionality (internal issue 969). * Remove *Status* fields from extension appendices, since they are by definition published and complete by the time they reach the public github repository (internal issue 973). Other Issues: * Update Data Format specification dependency to version 1.2 and change references to DF sections accordingly. * Update XML to make the pname:pAllocator parameter of flink:vkRegisterDeviceEventEXT and flink:vkRegisterDisplayEventEXT in the `VK_EXT_display_control` extension as optional. New Extensions: * `VK_KHR_bind_memory2` * `VK_KHR_image_format_list` * `VK_KHR_maintenance2` * `VK_KHR_sampler_ycbcr_conversion` |

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 August 19, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.59 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 59 for this update. Github Issues: * Fix a few missing Implicit Valid Usage statements to indicate that a common parent of two objects is required (public issue 497). * Clarify render pass synchronization language for slink:VkSubpassDependency and \<\<renderpass,render passes>> (public issue 531). * Rename ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_SURFACE_CAPABILITIES2_EXT to ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_SURFACE_CAPABILITIES_2_EXT for consistency, and add an alias for backwards compatibility (public issue 539). Internal Issues: * Add an explanation to the \<\<interfaces-builtin-variables-layer, code:Layer>> description explaining that writing to invalid layers results may or may not result in primitives being processed and fragment shaders being run, and gives undefined results in the framebuffer (internal issue 614) * Add valid usage statement for slink:VkDescriptorSetLayoutBinding requiring that input attachment descriptor bindings must not use non-fragment stages (internal issue 933). Other Issues: * Makes description of pname:loadOp and pname:storeOp easier to read in the \<\<renderpass-load-store-ops>> section. New Extensions: * `VK_EXT_shader_stencil_export` |

Change log for August 14, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.58 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 58 for this update. Github Issues: * Update the <<interfaces-resources-descset,Descriptor Set Interface>> section to allow multiple variables with the same descriptor set/binding decorations, and require that all variables that are statically used must be consistent with the pipeline layout. Allow ename:VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_COMBINED_IMAGE_SAMPLER to be used with texture and sampler variables (public issues 522, 524). Internal Issues: * Replace networkx package used for extension dependency generation with a homegrown network dependency traverser (internal issue 713). * Specify in the <<interfaces-fragmentoutput, Fragment Output Interface>> section that if a fragment shader writes integers that cannot be represented in the format of the colour attachment, then the result is undefined (internal issue 893). * Separate malformed valid usage statement for slink:VkPipelineRasterizationStateCreateInfo into two (internal issue 918). * Fix cases where the term 'pNext chain' is incorrectly used in reference to functions, rather than their parameters. Replace 'pNext list' with 'pNext chain'. Fixed typo in the example code of +VK_KHR_dedicated_allocation+ (internal issue 944). * Fix typo in elink:VkExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeFlagBitsKHR enum descriptions, replacing etext:VK_EXTERNAL_SEMAPHORE_HANDLE_TYPE_FENCE_FD_BIT_KHR with ename:VK_EXTERNAL_SEMAPHORE_HANDLE_TYPE_SYNC_FD_BIT_KHR, and make the description more consistent with VK_EXTERNAL_FENCE_HANDLE_TYPE_SYNC_FD_BIT_KHR (internal issue 950). Other Issues: * Clarify how pipeline stage masks affect <<synchronization-pipeline-stages-masks, access and synchronization scopes>>. * Clarify that dedicated allocations do not allow aliasing in the flink:vkBindBufferMemory and flink:vkBindImageMemory valid usage statements. * Correct specification of pname:dynamicCount for push_constant token in slink:VkIndirectCommandsLayoutNVX. New Extensions: * `VK_EXT_shader_viewport_index_layer` |

Change log for July 13, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.54 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 54 for this update. Github Issues: Internal Issues: * Fix tessellation domain to have an upper-left origin in the <<img-tessellation-topology-ul, tessellation toplogy image>> and related language. CTS and all implementations were already doing this, it was just a documentation bug that it was flipped to lower-left (internal issue 603). * Add a section to the style guide describing how VUID tags are changed and removed when the corresponding Valid Usage statements are modified (internal issue 829). * Add explicit Valid Usage statement to slink:VkPipelineDynamicStateCreateInfo to require that members of pname:pDynamicStates must be unique (internal issue 851). New Extensions: * `VK_KHR_16bit_storage` * `VK_KHR_dedicated_allocation` * `VK_KHR_external_fence` * `VK_KHR_external_fence_capabilities` * `VK_KHR_external_fence_fd` * `VK_KHR_external_fence_win32` * `VK_KHR_get_memory_requirements2` * `VK_KHR_storage_buffer_storage_class` * `VK_KHR_variable_pointers` Extensions Promoted From KHX To KHR Status: * `VK_KHR_external_memory` * `VK_KHR_external_memory_capabilities` * `VK_KHR_external_memory_fd` * `VK_KHR_external_memory_win32` * `VK_KHR_external_semaphore` * `VK_KHR_external_semaphore_capabilities` * `VK_KHR_external_semaphore_fd` * `VK_KHR_external_semaphore_win32` * `VK_KHR_win32_keyed_mutex` |

Change log for June 24, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.53 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 53 for this update. Github Issues: Internal Issues: * Clarify mappings of coordinates for mutable, compatible image views in slink:VkImageViewCreateInfo (internal issue 815). * Make ename:VK_BIND_SFR_BIT require a logical device with multiple physical devices, so that standard sparse image block dimensions are only required on systems that support multi-GPU (internal issue 835). * Convert all files from use of // refBegin .. // refEnd comments to delimit ref pages, to use of open blocks, and update style guide accordingly (internal issue 839). * Add valid usage for slink:VkWriteDescriptorSet when performing updates to a ename:VK_STORAGE_IMAGE descriptor with layout ename:VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_GENERAL. * Add a hack to the validity generator script to support an odd interaction between flink:vkCmdFillBuffer and an extension (internal issue 853). * Remove redundant text describing slink:VkBufferCreateInfo::pname:usage, which was already covered by implicit valid usage (internal issue 854). * Update implicit validity generator script to properly handle the pname:sType and pname:pNext members of "returnedonly" structures (internal issue 874). * Note that slink:VkApplicationInfo::pname:pApplicationName & slink:VkApplicationInfo::pname:pEngineName are optional, and add missing implicit valid usage statements for flink:vkDestroyInstance. * Added missing valid usage for flink:vkCmdWriteTimestamp to require a timestamp query pool. * Simplify and/or split "`non-atomic`" valid usage statements. New Extensions: * `VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16` * `VK_EXT_blend_operation_advanced` * `VK_EXT_sampler_filter_minmax` * `VK_NV_framebuffer_mixed_samples` ----------------------------------------------------- Note: the 1.0.52 spec wasn't published on github, so the 1.0.53 release combines both change sets. ----------------------------------------------------- Change log for June 13, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.52 spec update: * Bump API patch number and header version number to 52 for this update. Github Issues: Internal Issues: * Clarify behavior when non-coherent memory has <<memory-device-unmap-does-not-flush, not been flushed before being unmapped>> (internal issue 819). * Fix description of code:WorkgroupSize builtin to note it decorates an object, not a variable (internal issue 836). * Fix asciidoc attributes so that trailing '{plus}' symbols in [eq] style equations are rendered properly (internal issue 845). * Add language to the "`Extension Handles, Objects, Enums, and Typedefs`" section of the Procedures and Conventions document stating that any new handle type requires a corresponding entry in the elink:VkObjectType enumerated type (internal issue 856). * Update style guide to use slink macro for Vulkan handle type names, and define narrow conditions under which to use the *name and *text macros instead of *link (internal issue 886). * Add a dependency of the <<VK_KHX_device_group,VK_KHX_device_group>> extension on VK_KHX_device_group_creation to +vk.xml+ and the extension appendix. * Change the copyright on Vulkan specification asciidoc *source* files to CC-BY 4.0, and update the proprietary Khronos copyright applied to the generated *output* formats (internal issue 327). This enables broader re-use and modification of the Vulkan specification sources, while not affecting the Reciprocal IP License between Vulkan Adopters and Working Group Members.

Change log for June 4, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.51 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 51 for this update. Github Issues: * Add Valid Usage statement to flink:vkCmdResolveImage to require that source and destination image formats match (public issue 492). * Specify that a code:char* parameter must: be a valid null-terminated string in the <<fundamentals-implicit-validity, implicit valid usage>> section (public issue 494). * Removed unnecessary VU for slink:VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures which is covered by ename:VK_ERROR_FEATURE_NOT_PRESENT already (public issue 496). * Clarify valid usage of pname:pQueueFamilyIndices in slink:VkBufferCreateInfo, slink:VkImageCreateInfo, and slink:VkSwapchainCreateInfoKHR (public issue 501). * Document that dependencies of enabled extensions must also be enabled in the <<extended-functionality-extensions-dependencies, Extension Dependencies>> section (public issue 507). Internal Issues: * Change slink:VkMappedMemoryRange valid usage to allow pname:offset + pname:size == size of the allocation. Also, if ename:VK_WHOLE_SIZE is used, require the end of the mapping to be aligned to a multiple of pname:nonCoherentAtomSize (internal issue 611). * Add issue to `VK_KHR_win32_surface` about reusing window objects from a different graphics API or Vulkan ICD (internal issue 639). * Require locations on user in/out in `GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl` (internal issue 783). * Added version info to the json validation output, and updated the schema to match (internal issue 838). * Restructure enumerated type descriptions separately from the command or structure they are used in, allowing better reference page generation (internal issue 841). * Re-sort extension appendices to be in alphabetical order within each author ID section. * Fix enum naming and clarify behavior for `VK_NVX_device_generated_commands` extension.

Change log for May 20, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.50 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 50 for this update. Github Issues: * Fix numerous minor issues with the VK_EXT_debug_report extension (public issues 478, 483, 486, 489, 490). Internal Issues: * Update flink:vkAllocateDescriptorSets to specify conditions under which to return ename:VK_ERROR_FRAGMENTED_POOL or ename:VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_POOL_MEMORY instead of out-of-host/out-of-device-memory, and improve the <<fundamentals-errorcodes, description of those errors (internal issue 654). * Add a NOTE documenting that flink:vkAcquireNextImageKHR can only signal a single semaphore, and how to deal with that when multiple physical devices in a logical device need to wait on it (internal issue 730). * Improve description of pname:pNext chains of slink:VkPhysicalDeviceImageFormatInfo2KHR and slink:VkImageFormatProperties2KHR (internal issue 814). * Clean up math markup issues in the <<textures, Image Operations>> chapter (internal issue 818). * Update validusage target to use more robust code for preprocessing, by making direct use of Asciidoctor's preprocessor. Added uniqueItems check to JSON vu schema and add clean_validusage target (internal issue 826). * Update style guide to prohibit writing non-self-contained (on a single bullet point) Valid Usage statements, and modify offending Valid Usage statements in the Specification to match, to assist with automatic extraction for the validation layers (internal issue 828). * Add ename:VK_VALIDATION_CHECK_SHADERS_EXT to elink:VkValidationCheckEXT of the `VK_EXT_validation_flags` extension, to selectively disable shader validation. * Remove duplicate valid usage statement for slink:VkImageMemoryBarrier. * Modify reflow.py script to place VUID tag anchors standalone on a line following their corresponding bullet point, and reflow the spec text accordingly (this had been pending since the initial tag deployment).

Change log for May 12, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.49 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 49 for this update. Github Issues: * Modify reference page extraction script to make internal links to spec anchors refer to the core specification instead of being dangling links (public issue 455). * Fix GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl typo and add a nor-normative mapping to the newly published StorageBuffer class (public issue 466). * Both flink:vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties and flink:vkEnumerateDeviceExtensionProperties return ename:VK_ERROR_LAYER_NOT_PRESENT, which covers the error case of an application providing a layer name that wasn't returned by ftext:vkEnumerate{Instance|Device}LayerProperties (public issue 487). * The specification for flink:VkApplicationInfo::apiVersion says that the driver must return ename:VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER in the case that pname:apiVersion specifies a non-supported version. That means that the valid usage should not also state that, and so the VU statement is removed. The VU had language about "`an effective substitute`" that would have been lost, and so it was moved to the pname:apiVersion description (public issue 488). Internal Issues: * Modify implicit validity generator script to assign asciidoc anchors to all valid usage statements it generates, and reflow.py script to insert Valid Usage ID (VUID) tags into the specification source files for explicit valid usage statements. This has no semantic effects on the specification, but will support the validation layer's detection of valid usage violations and allow it to link into the corresponding part of the specification (internal issue 583). * Assign VUID tags to all explicit VU statements and document the process and tag format in the style guide (internal issue 583). * Clarify the rules of whether to structure new functionality as instance extensions, device extensions, or both in the <<extended-functionality-instance-extensions-and-devices, Instance Extensions and Device Extensions>> section (internal issue 749). * Require that SPIR-V run-time arrays are only used with the code:BufferBlock decoration (internal issue 750). * Fix implicit and explicit valid usage statements for slink:VkWriteDescriptorSet::pname:dstSet (internal issue 767) * Fix SPIR-V code sample for ename:VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_UNIFORM_TEXEL_BUFFER in the <<descriptorsets-uniformtexelbuffer, Uniform Texel Buffer>> section (internal issue 770). * Clarify that disabling depth testing also disables depth writes in the <<fragops-ds-state, Depth and Stencil Operations>> section (internal issue 775). * flink:VkDescriptorImageInfo::pname:imageLayout must match the actual imageLayout at the time the image is accessed. This was in the spec text, but needed an associated valid usage statement. * Note that only 32-bit atomic operations are supported in the <<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a Module>> section. * Note that code:UniformConstant variables must not have initializers in the <<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a Module>> section. * Add a new elink:VkObjectType enumeration to the core API, promoted from elink:VkDebugObjectTypeEXT, since it is used for much more than just the debug_report extension. New Extensions: * `VK_KHR_get_surface_capabilities2` * `VK_KHR_shared_presentable_image` |

Change log for March 31, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.46 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 46 for this update. Github Issues: * Add language to the <<fundamentals-validusage-enums, Valid Usage for Enumerated Types>> section allowing values to be returned from Vulkan that are not present in extensions explicitly enabled by the application, similar to existing language for bit flags in the <<fundamentals-validusage-flags, Valid Usage for Flags>> section (public issue 442). * *Important*: run `gem update --pre asciidoctor-pdf` before trying to build this version of the spec - 1.5.0.alpha15 is required for this change. Removes the monkey patch currently used to draw valid usage blocks across multiple pages which had numerous issues. A fixed version was incorporated into Asciidoctor-PDF for the latest release, so the monkey patch or any variant thereof is no longer required (public issue 465). Internal Issues: * Add ename:VK_DEBUG_REPORT_OBJECT_TYPE_DESCRIPTOR_UPDATE_TEMPLATE_KHR_EXT to `VK_EXT_debug_report` extension * Fix ptext:pNext member of slink:VkPhysicalDeviceDiscardRectanglePropertiesEXT to be a non-const pointer. Properties structures return values, so the chain should be non-const. * Explicitly remove gl_NumSamples from the `GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl` extension, against 1.0 (internal issue 612). * Add Valid Usage statements requiring that each structure type valid in a ptext:pNext chain must: not appear more than once in a chain (internal issue 752). * Use ename:VK_USE_PLATFORM_WIN32_KHX in the `VK_KHX_external_memory_win32` extension, rather than etext:_KHR (internal issue 754). New Extensions: * `VK_KHR_incremental_present` |

Change log for March 10, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.43 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 43 for this update. Github Issues: * Make clearer that color write mask is applied regardless of whether blending is enabled, by referring to the <<framebuffer-color-write-mask,Color Write Mask>> section (public issue 241). * Fix public issue 414: ** Added two new command buffer states (invalid, pending), and an explicit "command buffer lifecycle" section to explain them. ** Replaced "pending execution" with "in the pending state". ** Replaced a bunch of "this will invalidate the command buffer" language with "this will move the command buffer to the invalid state", and added validation language for what state those command buffers should be in. ** Added additional validation language about what state a command buffer should be in for various commands that affect it. ** Added invalidation language to destroy commands in the lifetimes section of fundamentals. ** Added command buffers to list of objects which must not be deleted whilst a (primary) command buffer is in the recording or pending state. * Update `GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl` extension to allow anonymous push constant blocks (public issue 428). Internal Issues: * Document rules about extension interactions in the style guide (internal issue 579). * Require ename:VK_PRESENT_MODE_MAILBOX_KHR support in queries of surfaces created with flink:vkCreateWaylandSurfaceKHR using the VK_KHR_wayland_surface extension (internal issue 666). * Remove Valid Usage constraints for flink:vkAllocateDescriptorSets when the `VK_KHR_maintainance1` extension is present (internal issue 686). * Remove undocumented KHX-variants of vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties2KHR and vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties2KHR from the <<VK_KHX_external_memory_capabilities>> and <<VK_KHX_external_semaphore_capabilities>> extensions. New Extensions: * `VK_EXT_hdr_metadata` * `VK_GOOGLE_display_timing` |

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 |

Change log for February 17, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.41 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 41 for this update. Github Issues: * Made all uses of `NULL` vs. code:VK_NULL_HANDLE consistent (public issue 276). * Clarify render pass compatibility in different usage scenarios (public issues 303 and 304). * Add valid usage statements to slink:VkFramebufferCreateInfo requiring that the width, height, and number of layers of the framebuffer all be nonzero (public issue 432). * Allow `offset` and `align` in any GLSL version for the `GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl` extension (public issue 435). * Specify lifetime of string objects passed to the tlink:PFN_vkDebugReportCallbackEXT user callback in the +VK_EXT_debug_report+ extension (public issue 446). * Fix inter-page links in multi-file reference pages (public issue 454). Internal Issues: * Update valid usage language for slink:VkImageCreateInfo to disallow creating images that have ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_TRANSIENT_ATTACHMENT_BIT set without other attachment usage bits (ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_INPUT_ATTACHMENT_BIT, ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_COLOR_ATTACHMENT_BIT, or ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT_BIT) (internal issue 540). * Disable `VK_EXT_swapchain_colorspace` extension until internal issues 640 and 661 are mutually resolved. * Allow alternative mipmap level selection when [eq]#lambda == 0.5# during texture <<textures-image-level-selection,Image Level(s) Selection>> (internal issue 680). Other Issues: * Add a clarification to the style guide that the extension revision number is treated as a patch number, so that changes to published extensions should only include bug fixes and spec clarifications. |

Change log for February 10, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.40 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 40 for this update. * There is a major build change in this release. We are now using the Ruby-based ``asciidoctor'' implementation, rather than the Python-based ``asciidoc'' implementation, to process the specification. While the actual specification markup changes were minimal, this requires a new set of build tools and a very different installation process, especially because we now use an experimental direct-to-PDF backend for Asciidoctor instead of Docbook->dblatex->PDF. It is no longer possible to build the Specification using asciidoc. See doc/specs/vulkan/README.adoc for some guidance on installing the new toolchain components. * There are some minor rendering issues in the PDF output due to teething problems with the asciidoctor toolchain, especially with mathematical equations. We are aware of these and working on them. Github Issues: * Updated sample code for the <<sparsememory-examples-basic,sparse resource binding example>> (public issue 97). * Modify line and point clipping behavior in the <<vertexpostproc-clipping, Primitive Clipping>> section to allow for pop-free behavior. The ability to check for which behavior is implemented may be added a future feature or extension (public issue 113). * Unify the discussions of implicit ordering throughout the spec, in particular in the new sections <<drawing-primitive-order, Primitive Order>>, <<primrast-order, Rasterization Order>>, and <<synchronization-implicit, Implicit Synchronization Guarantees>>; the discussion of <<synchronization-submission-order, submission order>>; and references elsewhere to these sections (public issue 133). * Clarify \<\<descriptorsets-compatibility,Pipeline Layout Compatibility>> language and introduce the term ``identically defined'' (public issue 164). * Add a dependency to the +VK_EXT_debug_marker+ extension that's needed to reuse the object type enum from +VK_EXT_debug_report+, and moves the definition of that enum into +VK_EXT_debug_report+ where it should be (public issue 409). * Remove redundant valid usage statement from slink:VkImageBlit (public issue 421). * Update GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl to allow the ternary operator to result in a specialization constant (public issue 424). * Fix valid usage for flink:VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo (public issue 426). * Correct typo in New Objects list for <<VK_EXT_debug_report>> (public issue 447). Internal Issues: * Moved to asciidoctor for spec builds (internal issue 121). * Update style guide to describe where to put new extensions-specific asciidoc files, and what to name them (internal issue 626). * Add src/spec/indexExt.py to autogenerate registry index entries linking into the 1.0-extensions specification, instead of maintaining the index manually. (internal issue 642). * Autogenerate extension dependencies and lists of all extensions and all KHR extensions from the "supported" attributes in +vk.xml+. Execute +make config/extDependency.sh+ from +doc/specs/vulkan+ when a supported extension is added to vk.xml, to regenerate the dependency script. The consequence is that specifying a single extension to the +makeExt+ script will automatically enable all extensions it depends on as well, and that the +makeAllExts+ and +makeKHR+ scripts do not need to be updated when a new extension is supported (internal issue 648). * Put extension appendices all at the same asciidoc section level, so KHR WSI extensions show up in the HTML index (internal issue 648). Other Issues: * Imbed images in the generated HTML specs instead of loading them from the images/ directory. * Fix missing EXT in extension name (ename:VK_EXT_SWAPCHAIN_COLOR_SPACE_EXTENSION_NAME). * Add new +VK_EXT_SMPTE_2086_metadata+ extension. * In the <<platformCreateSurface_xlib,Xlib Surface>> section of the +VK_KHR_xlib_surface+ specification, add language warning users that they always need to call code:XinitThreads. * Use the term "presentable image" (rather than "swapchain image") consistently in +VK_KHR_swapchain+ and related extensions, and add a glossary term defining it. * Relocate the valid usage for samples of flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSparseImageFormatProperties2KHR::pname:pFormatInfo to be below the flink:VkPhysicalDeviceSparseImageFormatInfo2KHR structure. |

Change log for January 23, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.39 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 39 for this update. Github Issues: * Clarified that only accesses via the specified buffer/image subresource ranges are included in the access scopes (public issue 306). * Add missing valid usage statements for flink:vkCreateComputePipelines and flink:vkCreateGraphicsPipelines (public issue 427). Internal Issues: * Add a Note to the <<invariance,Invariance>> appendix about a difference between OpenGL and Vulkan with regards to how primitives derived from offsets are handled (internal issue 355). * Add the +<<VK_KHR_get_physical_device_properties2>>+, +<<VK_KHR_maintenance1>>+, and +<<VK_KHR_shader_draw_parameters>>+ extensions (internal issue 448). * Add the +<<VK_EXT_shader_subgroup_vote>>+ and +<<VK_EXT_shader_subgroup_ballot>>+ extensions (internal issue 449). * Update the texture level-of-detail equation in the <<textures-scale-factor,Scale Factor Operation>> section to better approximate the ellipse major and minor axes (internal issue 547). * Forbid non-explicitly allowed uses of interface decorations in the introduction to the <<interfaces,Shader Interfaces>> chapter (internal issue 607). * Replace use of MathJax with KaTeX, for improved load-time performance as well as avoiding the scrolling-and-scrolling behavior due to MathJax asynchronous rendering when loading at an anchor inside the spec. This change also requires moving to HTML5 output for the spec instead of XHTML, and there is a visible difference in that the chapter navigation index is now in a scrollable sidebar instead of at the top of the document. We may or may not retain the nav sidebar based on feedback (internal issue 613). * Improve consistency of markup and formatting in extension appendices (internal issue 631). Other Issues: * Add explicit valid usage statements to slink:VkImageCopy requiring that the source and destination layer ranges be contained in their respective source and destination images. * Add valid usage language for swapchain of flink:vkAcquireNextImage. If the swapchain has been replaced, then it should not be passed to flink:vkAcquireNextImage. * Add a valid usage statement to flink:vkCreateImageView, that the image must have been created with an appropriate usage bit set. * Noted that slink:VkDisplayPresentInfoKHR is a valid extension of slink:VkPresentInfoKHR in the <<wsi_swapchain,WSI Swapchain>> section. * Update valid usage for flink:vkCmdSetViewport and flink:vkCmdSetScissor to account for the multiple viewport feature. If the feature is not enabled, the parameters for these functions have required values that are defined in the <<features-features-multiViewport,multiple viewports>> section of the spec but were not reflected in the valid usage text for these functions. * Add the +<<VK_EXT_swapchain_colorspace>>+ extension defining common color spaces. |

Change log for November 25, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.35 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 35 for this update. Github Issues: * Document in the <<memory-device-hostaccess,Host Access>> section that mapping and unmapping does not invalidate or flush the mapped memory (public issues 27, 126). * Redefine the entire <<synchronization>> chapter in terms of consistent and well defined terminology, that's called out at the start of the chapter. This terminology is applied equally to all synchronization types, including subpass dependencies, submissions, and much of the implicit ordering stuff dotted around the spec. Key terms are laid out in the <<synchronization-dependencies,Execution and Memory Dependencies>> section at the top of the rewritten chapter (public issues 128, 131, 132, 217, 299, 300, 302, 306, 322, 346, 347, 371, 407). * Specify order of submission for batches in the <<vkQueueSubmit,vkQueueSubmit>> and <<vkQueueBindSparse,vkQueueBindSparse>> commands (public issue 371). * Add valid usage statements to each of the WSI extension sections indicating that the WSI-specific structure parameters must be valid, and remove automatically generated valid usage statements now covered by the manual sections (public issue 383). * Clarify render pass compatibility for flink:vkCmdExecuteCommands (public issue 390). Internal Issues: * Update +vk.xml+ to make previously explicit valid usage statements for <<vkDebugReportMessageEXT,vkDebugReportMessageEXT>> implicit instead (internal issue 553). * Add valid usage statement for slink:VkCreateImageInfo preventing creation of 1D sparse images (internal issue 573). * Fix Python scripts to always read/write files in utf-8 encoding, and a logic error in reflib.py which could cause a fatal error for malstructured asciidoc (internal issues 578, 586). |

Change log for September 23, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.28 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 28 for this update. Github Issues: * Minor spelling and typography cleanup, add definitions of ename:VK_FALSE and ename:VK_TRUE as just what their names say (public issues 220, 318, 325, 365; internal issues 451, 496) * Clarify that the pname:maxDescriptorSet limits in the <<features-limits-required,Required Limits>> table are n * maxPerStage limit (where n=number of supported stages) (public issue 254). * Minor cleanup to <<boilerplate-platform-macros,Platform-Specific Macro Definitions>> appendix (public issue 314). * Add valid usage statement to slink:VkPipelineLayoutCreateInfo disallowing multiple push constant ranges for the same shader stage (public issue 340). * Clarify the elink:VkSharingMode description of what executing the "same" barriers means in case of ownership transfer (public issue 347). * Rename copyright.txt and add COPYING.md to try and reduce confusion about applicable copyrights (public issue 350). * Extend the table in the <<boilerplate-wsi-header, Window System-Specific Header Control>> section to describe the external headers included when each etext:VK_USE_PLATFORM_* macro is defined (public issue 376). Internal Issues: * Add "Revision History" to the PDF outputs following the table of contents, to match HTML outputs (internal issue 43). * Clarified that flink:vkMapMemory may fail due to virtual address space limitations (internal issue 346). * Add +refBody+ comment markup for ref page autoextraction when required (internal issue 400). * Document proper use of "mipmap" and "mip" in the style guide API naming rules, matching the spelling rules (internal issue 471). * Tweak the <<extensions,Layers and Extensions>> appendix to note that the Specification may be built with arbitrary combinations of extensions (internal issue 483). * Remove incorrect statement allowing slink:VkClearAttachment::pname:colorAttachment to be >= slink:VkSubpassDescription::pname:colorAttachmentCount (internal issue 488). * The <<features-limits-viewportboundsrange,viewportBoundsRange>> is expressed in terms of the pname:maxViewportDimensions but this is actually two values. Clarify that it's based on the larger of the two (if they differ) (internal issue 499). Other Issues: * Reflowed text of the entire spec using the 'reflow' Makefile gater, to (hopefully) reduce future internal git churn as edits are made and extensions added in return for one-time pain. This has no perceptible change on the spec outputs but considerable changes on the asciidoc source (internal issue 367). |

Change log for September 16, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.27 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 27 for this update. Github Issues: * Weaken flink:vkGetPipelineCacheData invariance conditions; previous conditions were stronger than agreed and can't be guaranteed (public issue 280). * Add link to "Vulkan Loader Specification and Architecture Overview" document to Normative References section (public issue 359). Internal Issues: * Be more clear in the <<interfaces-resources-layout-std140, uniform buffer layout>> section that block offsets can be out of order (internal issue 396). * Document that extension authors should add support for their extensions to the validation layers (internal issue 398). * Clarify that the valid range of depth clear values should be limited to the 0..1 range and that copies to depth aspect must also be in this range (internal issue 412). * Specify ``a'' vs. ``an'' use in the style guide (internal issue 432). * Increase the maximum pname:nonCoherentAtomSize value in the <<features-limits-required,Required Limits>> section from 128 to 256 (internal issue 435). * Fix vk_platform.h for compiler errors on some Android platforms (internal issue 441). * Clarify that slink:VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures::pname:pEnabledFeatures == `NULL` disables all features, including the "required" feature pname:robustBufferAccess (internal issue 479). Other Issues: * Expand style guide and make it more self-consistent. * Use ISO 8601 date format everywhere. * Emphasise the correct way of using slink:VkSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR::pname:maxImageCount. * Added +VK_EXT_validation_flags+ extension for validation flag mechanism. * Fix an <<credits,author credit>> to include their current employer. |

Change log for September 6, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.26 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 26 for this update. Github Issues: * Bring sample code in the +VK_KHR_surface+ and +VK_KHR_swapchain+ extension summary appendices up to date, and note they will be replaced with pointers to the LunarG SDK examples in the future (public issue 279). * Add a new <<fundamentals-commandsyntax-results-lifetime,Lifetime of Retrieved Results>> section specifying that ftext:vkGet* and ftext:VkEnumerate* results are invariant unless otherwise specified, and specify behavior for individual commands which are not invariant (public issue 280). * Remove conflicting definition of slink:VkDisplayPlaneCapabilitiesKHR::pname:maxSrcPosition and clean up language of the remaining definition (public issue 351). * Fix many minor spelling errors and add rules to the style guide to prevent recurrences (public issue 352). Internal Issues: * Remove redundant descriptions of the etext:VK_USE_PLATFORM_* macros from the <<wsi,Window System Integration>> chapter in favor of the description in the <<boilerplate-wsi-header,Window System-Specific Header Control>> appendix (internal issue 6). * Replace misleading 'can: be destroyed when not X' with more correct 'must: not be destroyed while X' in the <<fundamentals-objectmodel-lifetime,Object Lifetime>> section. Disallow destroying a pipeline layout while a command buffer using it is recording (internal issue 241). * Clarify that ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_TRANSIENT_ATTACHMENT_BIT is valid for all images used as attachments in elink:VkImageUsageFlagBits and the slink:VkImageLayout validity language (internal issue 320). * Note that <<extended-functionality-layers,Layers>> may wrap object handles, but that this is a generally discouraged. A link to additional information in the documentation for layer authors is provided (issue 398) * Replace the mustnot: and shouldnot: macros with equivalent must: not and should: not to get rid of non-English words while still highlighting normative language (internal issue 407). * Disallow creating multisampled images with ename:VK_IMAGE_CREATE_CUBE_COMPATIBLE_BIT in the slink:VkImageLayout validity language and the <<features-supported-sample-counts,Supported Sample Counts>> section (internal issue 445). * Fix typo so that flink:vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect is defined in terms of flink:vkCmdDrawIndexed rather than flink:vkCmdDrawIndirect (internal issue 446). * Reorganize the per-extension information sections to all be in the <<extensions,Layers & Extensions>> appendix. Also fix a typo in +VK_IMG_filter_cubic+ which incorrectly identified it as a +KHR+ extension (internal issue 461). Other Issues: * Use asciidoc markup instead of latexmath to simplify diagrams in the <<features-formats-non-packed,byte mapping tables>> for color formats. * Fix a markup problem with the wildcarded enumerant names in a NOTE in the <<textures-texel-replacement,Texel Replacement>> section. * Fix missing attributes in the XML interface for elink:VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagBitsNV and elink:VkExternalMemoryFeatureFlagBitsNV (KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Hpp issue #25) * Cleanup reference page builds so only core pages are built for releases. |

Change log for August 5, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.23 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 23 for this update. Github Issues: * Add explicit valid value attributes to pname:sType members in vk.xml (public issue 34). * Clarify usage of flink:vkGetInstanceProcAddr and flink:vkGetDeviceProcAddr (public issue 225). * Fix a copy-and-paste error in the description of pname:pSwapchainImageCount saying that it was the count of ``format pairs'' instead of ``swapchain images'' (public issue 292). * flink:vkCmdExecuteCommandBuffers requires all command buffers to be allocated from command pools created for the same queue family (public issue 296). * Remove bogus +optional+ attribute for flink:vkEnumerateDeviceLayerProperties::pname:physicalDevice from vk.xml (public issue 301). * Clean up the <<resources-image-views-compatibility,image and image view compatibility table>> reference and contents. Use full enumerant names. Refer to pname:layerCount in the ``view parameters'' column instead of pname:arrayLayers. Require N >= 1 for the cube array subview row, not just arrayLayers >= 6 N (public issue 304). * Modify description of <<resources-memory-aliasing,memory aliasing>> to be consistent with the description of <<resources-bufferimagegranularity,buffer image granularity>> (public issue 307). Internal Issues: * Describe remaining +vk_platform.h+ macros in the <<boilerplate,API Boilerplate>> appendix (internal issue 6). * Clarify <<features-features-robustBufferAccess,pname:robustBufferAccess>> feature behavior; what memory can be accessed, how bounds checking is performed, and allowing for vectorization (internal issue 332). * Document markup for automatic extraction of reference pages from the spec sources in the style guide (internal issue 395). * Allow flink:vkCreateDisplayModeKHR to return ename:VK_ERROR_INITIALIZAION_FAILED_KHR if the user requests mode parameters that the specified display does not support (internal issue 411). * Remove atomic counters (atomic_uint style) from KHR_vulkan_glsl, and more clearly remove the subroutine keyword alongside it (internal issue 421). * Clarify behavior of flink:vkCmdBindDescriptorSets for descriptor sets not contained in the layout (internal issue 427). Other Commits: * Change the order in which members of sname:VkAttachmentDescription and sname:VkPipelineInputAssemblyStateCreateInfo are described to match their order in the structures. |

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. |

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). * Clarify the host-side data validity rules and behavior of flink:vkFlushMappedMemoryRanges and flink:vkInvalidateMappedMemoryRanges (internal issue 266). Other Commits: * Added clarification to flink:vkCmdFillBuffer regarding the use of ename:VK_WHOLE_SIZE. * Fixed and documented implementation of "validextensionstructs" attribute. in XML processing scripts and readme.tex/pdf. * 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.

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. |

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. |

Fixes for #101 (public issue 101)
This is for people to review edits for @philiptaylor's points, but I'll probably pull equivalent changes back into the private repo and merge there before bringing it back to github in one of the (hopefully) weekly updates. [ChangeLog] This bundles up low-hanging editorial issues from public issue 101. Some items from that issue are more complex and remain to be done. There's also some related cleanup of the extensions appendix to clarify the distinction between a Vulkan API command, and the functions and function pointers corresponding to that command which may be provided by the API loader and runtime. Remaining todo from #101 : - [ ] 24.5.1 "Ab, Yb, Zb" -> "Xb, Yb, Zb". - [ ] 29.2 "explicitly enabled layers" clarification. - [ ] 30.3.3 Confusingly similar tiny circle symbols in format tables. - [ ] 30.3.3 Missing information about some formats. - [ ] C.3 Clarify or punt on "lower-case UTF-8" in FQDN layer names. |
