0a1c49409f Change log for October 27, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.65 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 65 for this update.

Github Issues:

  * Replaced inaccurate "`pixel`" with "`texel`" or "`compressed texel
    block`" as appropriate in the <<sparsememory, Sparse Resources>> chapter
    (public issue 86).
  * Attempt to clarify security/integrity guarantees in the
    <<fundamentals-errors, Errors>> section (public issue 147).
  * Update the <<memory-device,Device Memory>> section with clarifications
    and markup fixes (public pull request 194).
  * Fix typo VkDeviceCreateInfo -> slink:VkDebugMarkerObjectNameInfoEXT in
    sample code for `VK_EXT_debug_marker` extension (public pull request
    227).
  * Clarified slink:VkFramebufferCreateInfo language regarding concurrent
    use of attachment resources during a render pass instance (public issue
    299).
  * Added overlap rules for destination regions in <<copies,copy commands>>.
    Also unified the sparse and non-sparse source-destination overlap rules,
    since the non-sparse rules were technically inaccurate in the face of
    aliasing in flink:vkBindMemory2 - the new rules are true regardless
    (public issue 317).
  * Clarified the <<features-features-samplerAnisotropy,
    pname:samplerAnisotropy feature>> to only affect the
    slink:VkSamplerCreateInfo::pname:anisotropyEnable value, and that
    pname:maxAnisotropy is ignored when pname:anisotropyEnable is VK_FALSE
    (public issue 503).
  * Clarify pointer valid usage statements to use "`valid pointer to valid
    _object_`" terminology and update the
    <<fundamentals-validusage-pointers,Valid Usage for Pointers>> section
    accordingly (public pull request 547).
  * Some operations that use integer coordinates can also accept a LOD to
    sample from. Add a description of that selection and the validity
    conditions in the new <<textures-integer-coordinate-operations, Integer
    Texel Coordinate Operations>> section (public issue 548).
  * Update stext:VkImageSubresource* valid usage statements (public pull
    request 550).
  * Added text tying ename:VK_OUT_OF_POOL_MEMORY error for
    flink:vkAllocateDescriptorSets to the number of descriptor types in the
    allocating pool. Removed redundant "`length`" text about number of
    descriptors returned (public issue 582).
  * Update slink:VkSwapchainCreateInfoKHR descriptions (public pull request
    585).
  * Update slink:VkPipelineViewportWScalingStateCreateInfoNV and related
    structures' valid usage statements (public pull request 587).
  * Change some dates to conform to ISO 8601 as specified in the style guide
    (public pull request 601).
  * Fix some math markup problems and be more consistent in use of asciidoc
    math markup (public pull request 602).

Internal Issues:

  * Clarified that attribute reads from incomplete vertex buffer elements
    are considered out of bounds accesses, in the
    slink:VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures and flink:vkCmdBindVertexBuffers.txt
    sections (internal issue 842).

Other Issues:

52d809dd04 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`

6012d138c7 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.

New Extensions:

  * Add +vk.xml+ entries for pending `VK_ANDROID_native_buffer` extension
    (note, this extension is not yet enabled).
  * `VK_AMD_shader_image_load_store_lod`
