* Update release number to 122.
Internal Issues:
* Add style guide language on not using standalone `+` signs (internal
issue 736); not using leading whitespace for markup (internal issue
747); and on keeping descriptions of a single API in a contiguous block
of markup (internal issue 949), and apply them to the specification.
* Add a glossary definition of "`constant integral expression`", pointing
to the SPIR-V "`constant instruction`" definition (internal issue 1225).
* Many minor edits to improve writing style consistency and capture
additional style guidelines (internal issue 1553).
* Clarify that <<fragops-depth-write, depth writes are not performed>> if
there is no depth framebuffer attachment (internal issue 1771).
* Allow implementations to use rectangular line style of interpolation for
<<primsrast-lines-bresenham, wide Bresenham lines>>, though replicating
attributes is still preferred. Clarify that code:FragCoord is not
replicated (internal issue 1772).
* Resolve a contradiction in valid usage statements for
slink:VkImageCreateInfo and slink:VkImageStencilUsageCreateInfoEXT
(internal issue 1773).
* Add style guide discussion of markup for indented equations, and use
markup workaround for asciidoctor 2 compatibility (internal issue 1793).
* Deprecate the `<<VK_EXT_validation_flags>>` extension in `vk.xml` and
the extension appendix (internal issue 1801).
* Add a new checker script `scripts/xml_consistency.py`. This is not
currently run as part of internal CI (internal merge request 3285).
* Correct "`an`" -> "`a`" prepositions where needed (internal merge
request 3334).
* Clarify that the <<features-uniformBufferStandardLayout,
pname:uniformBufferStandardLayout>> feature is only required when the
extension defining it is supported (internal merge request 3341).
* Bring scripts into closer sync with OpenXR, mainly through conversion of
comments to docstrings where appropriate, and add gen-scripts-docs.sh
(internal merge request 3324).
* Correct pname:maxDrawMeshTasksCount to 2^16^-1 in the <<limits-required,
Required Limits>> table (internal merge requests 3361).
New Extensions
* `<<VK_IMG_format_pvrtc>>` (public issue 512).
* 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>>`
* Update release number to 93.
Public Issues:
* Add spec language for ename:VK_INDEX_TYPE_NONE_NV and fix up
slink:VkAccelerationStructureTypeNV (public issue 848).
* Add missing suffix in description of slink:VkSubpassDescription2KHR
parameters (public pull request 851).
* Fix miscellaneous typos (public pull request 855).
* Add driver ID for Pastel (public pull request 856).
* Add missing include directive for slink:VkMemoryWin32HandlePropertiesKHR
implicit valid usage statements (public pull request 857).
Internal Issues:
* Restrict the storage classes permitted for SPIR-V atomics to what is
actually supported, in the <<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation
Rules within a Module>> section (internal issue 1123).
* Add a missing Valid Usage statement to slink:VkRenderPassCreateInfo for
the case pname:stencilLoadOp == ename:VK_LOAD_OP_CLEAR, pname:layout ==
ename:VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_DEPTH_STENCIL_READ_ONLY_OPTIMAL (internal issue
1408).
* Modify optimize-pdf script and Makefile to retain non-optimized original
PDF on errors (internal issue 1435).
* Add <<spirvenv-module-validation, SPIR-V validation rules>> stating that
only the listed code:BuiltIn decorations are permitted, and only when
relevante features and extensions are enabled (internal issue 1449).
* Remove some duplicated Valid Usage IDs created via cut & paste error
(internal issue 1455).
* Build HTML output for extension reference pages (internal issue 1461).
** Improve genRef.py handling of aliases defined inside other refpages.
** Emit aliases in pygenerator.py.
** Add XML noautovalidity flag for VkRenderPassCreateFlags until there
are some corresponding FlagBits defined.
** Corrected types= attribute on some refpage blocks to 'flags'
** Added refpage blocks for some missing types detected by CI tests.
* Fixed many Valid Usage statement issues in slink:VkRenderPassCreateInfo,
slink:VkSubpassDescription, slink:VkSubpassDescription2KHR,
slink:VkSubpassDependency2KHR, flink:vkCmdBeginRenderPass,
flink:vkCmdBeginRenderPass2KHR, and slink:VkRenderPassBeginInfo
discovered while adding `VK_KHR_create_renderpass2` to the validation
layers.
New Extensions:
* `VK_EXT_scalar_block_layout`
* `VK_EXT_separate_stencil_usage`
associated material at the top level, vk.xml and associated material in
xml/, and generated include and source files in include/vulkan/ and
src/ext_loader/, respectively (public issue 436).
