59750fe4c7 Change log for August 25, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.121 spec update:
* Update release number to 121.

Github Issues:

  * Add missing `structextends` attribute in `vk.xml` for
    slink:VkPhysicalDevicePipelineExecutablePropertiesFeaturesKHR (public
    issue 1018).
  * Change attributes of flink:vkCmdCopyAccelerationStructureNV,
    flink:vkCmdWriteAccelerationStructuresPropertiesNV,
    flink:vkCmdBuildAccelerationStructureNV, and flink:vkCmdTraceRaysNV to
    require that these commands execute outside renderpasses (public issue
    1021).
  * Add an issue to the `<<VK_EXT_buffer_device_address>>` appendix
    discussing the introduction of new names and aliasing by equivalent old
    names (public pull request 1024).

Internal Issues:

  * Protect the `VK_KHR_sampler_mirror_clamp_to_edge` extension with
    asciidoctor conditionals, and remove it from the core-only specification
    builds, where it had previously been force-included in the Makefile. It
    is now treated like any other extension (internal issue 1776).
  * Edit some asciidoctor anchor names starting with `features-features-` to
    just start with `features-`, since the old chapters was split into 3
    pieces. There are still some mild naming inconsistencies with anchors
    which may be addressed in the future (internal issue 1792).
  * Add `KHR` alias for the non-suffixed extension token
    ename:VK_SAMPLER_ADDRESS_MODE_MIRROR_CLAMP_TO_EDGE, for compatibility
    with naming rules for extensions (internal issue 1796).
  * Clarify requirements for external memory in NOTEs for
    sname:VkExternalMemoryBufferCreateInfo, and valid usage statements for
    flink:vkBindBufferMemory, slink:VkBindBufferMemoryInfo,
    flink:vkBindImageMemory, and slink:VkBindImageMemoryInfo (internal merge
    request 3301).
  * Make extension version numbers in `vk.xml` and extension appendices
    consistent. In a few cases, we could not recover history at this
    granularity, and left the summary of a version's change undefined
    (internal merge request 3323).
  * Fix invocation of `CodeInlineMacro` in the Ruby extension backing the
    `code:` macro, which was delegating to the wrong base class (internal
    merge request 3331).
  * Modify `reg.py` to do a better job of recognizing equivalent <enum>
    definitions.
  * Add a `sortorder` attribute to XML feature and extension tags.

New Extensions

  * `<<VK_AMD_device_coherent_memory>>`

521e98405f Change log for August 17, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.120 spec update:
* Update release number to 120.

Github Issues:

  * Add slink:VkAccelerationStructureTypeNV explicitly to extension XML for
    `<<VK_NV_ray_tracing>>` (public issue 848).
  * Add missing valid usage statements for feature flags in
    slink:VkCommandBufferInheritanceInfo (public pull request 1017).

Internal Issues:

  * Clarify behavior of non-premultiplied destination colors for
    `<<VK_EXT_blend_operation_advanced>>` prior to the definition of
    slink:VkBlendOverlapEXT (internal issue 1766).
  * Fix the confusing phrasing "`no other queue must: be (doing something)`"
    for flink:vkQueuePresentKHR, flink:vkQueueSubmit, and
    flink:vkQueueBindSparse (internal issue 1774).
  * Add `<<VK_EXT_validation_features>>` flag to enable best practices
    checks, which will soon be available in the validation layer (internal
    issue 1779).
  * Specify allowed characters for VUID tag name components in the style
    guide (internal issue 1788).
  * Update links to SPIR-V extension specifications, and parameterize their
    markup in case the URLs change in the future (internal issue 1797).
  * Fix an off-by-one error in the valid usage statement for
    slink:VkPipelineExecutableInfoKHR (internal merge request 3303).
  * Clean up markup indentation not matching the style guide (internal merge
    request 3314).
  * Minor script updates to allow refpage aliases, generate a dynamic TOC
    for refpages, generate Apache rewrite rules for aliases, open external
    links from refpages in a new window, and synchronize with the OpenCL
    scripts. This will shortly enable a paned navigation setup for refpages,
    similar to the OpenCL 2.2 refpages (internal merge request 3322).
  * Script updates to add tests to the checker, refactor and reformat code,
    generate better text for some valid usage statements, use more Pythonic
    idioms, and synchronize with the OpenXR scripts (internal merge request
    3239).
  * Script updates and minor fixes in spec language to not raise checker
    errors for refpage markup of pages not existing in the API, such as
    VKAPI_NO_STDINT_H. Remove corresponding suppression of some
    check_spec_links.py tests from .gitlab-ci.yml and 'allchecks' target
    (internal merge request 3315).

5abf83f95d Change log for April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update:
* Update release number to 107.

Public Issues:

  * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix
    (public issue 617).
  * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies,
    subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777).
  * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on
    `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849).
  * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the
    Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still
    present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the
    single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full
    Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support
    and publish at present (public issue 949).

Internal Issues:

  * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands
    or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning
    part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're
    being applied to (internal issue 779).
  * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as
    platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them
    This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order
    to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue
    888).
  * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to
    use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`,
    increasing legibility (internal issue 1611).
  * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path,
    fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630).
  * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`.
  * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on
    Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107).
  * Add missing conditionals around the
    <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>>
    section (internal merge request 3108).
  * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge
    request 3109).
  * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and
    `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and
    the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112).

New Extensions:

  * `<<VK_EXT_headless_surface>>`
