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 July 21, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.56 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 56 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Add valid usage statements for commands introduced by
`VK_EXT_debug_report` and `VK_EXT_debug_marker` extensions, regarding
the valid pname:object and pname:objectType values (public issue 495).
* Modify `GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl` specification to document that uniform and
buffer block arrays each take only a single binding (public issue 514).
* Add `KHX` author tag to +vk.xml+ (public issue 526).
Internal Issues:
* Document use of code: macro for non-Vulkan APIs in the style guide
(internal issue 863).
* Document that reference page open block delimiters must not contain
asciidoc section markup in the style guide (internal issue 898).
* Fix <<spirvenv,SPIR-V appendix>> to say
code:VariablePointersStorageBuffer instead of
code:VariablePointersUniformBufferBlock (internal issue 928).
Other Commits:
* Add missing extension structures to dependency attributes in +vk.xml+.
New Extenions:
* `VK_EXT_depth_range_unrestricted`

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.
New Extensions:

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 24, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.45 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 45 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Defined the lifetime of the memory pointed to by
slink:VkDisplayPropertiesKHR::pname:displayName to be equal to that of
its associated display handle (public issue 460).
* Correct several cases where the sparse memory feature name
pname:residencyNonResidentStrict was written as
pname:sparseResidencyNonResidentStrict (public issue 475).
Internal Issues:
* Fix ptext:pNext member of slink:VkPhysicalDeviceGroupPropertiesKHX to be
a non-const pointer. Properties structures return values, so the chain
should be non-const.
* Clarify definition of memory aliasing to consistently use the terms
"linear" and "non-linear" when referring to resources, and define what
those terms mean.
* Modified XML schema and implicit validity scripts to generate language
for all ptext:pNext values in a ptext:pNext chain instead of just the
top level struct, and made `noautovalidity` functional for ptext:sType
and ptext:pNext (internal issue 535).
* Add more detail for BT2020 and scRGB color spaces in
`VK_EXT_swapchain_colorspace` extension (internal issue 632).
* Add naming rules for Extension Structure Names (structures added to the
ptext:pNext chain of a base structure) to the style guide (internal
issue 706).
* Define the glossary term "ptext:pNext chain", and use it consistently in
the spec (internal issue 744).

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_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

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 December 16, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.38 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 38 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Make ename:VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_HOST_BIT invalid for all stage masks,
except for flink:vkCmdWaitEvents (public issue 261).
Internal Issues:
* Added validation language for flink:vkQueueBindSparse,
slink:VkPresentInfoKHR, and slink:VkSubmitInfo, and a note to the
<<synchronization-semaphores-waiting,Semaphore Waiting and Unsignaling>>
section to clarify that semaphores must be signaled and waited on in a
1:1 fashion (internal issue 546).
* Modify valid usage for slink:VkBufferImageCopy to only require
pname:bufferOffset to be a multiple of the image format's element size
when the format is not depth/stencil (internal issue 594).
Other Issues:
* Vulkan(R) is now a registered trademark symbol, and this is reflected in
documents and copyright statements.

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 August 26, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.25 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 25 for this update.
* Structurally change the specification so that multiple extensions are
included in the +1.0+ git branch, and specifications will include or not
include those extensions at build time based on options passed to the
Makefile. See +doc/specs/vulkan/README.html+ and the ``Layers and
Extensions'' section of the ``Vulkan Documentation and Extensions''
document for more information on this change.
* Register and publish new extensions in the single-branch form:
** +VK_NV_external_memory_capabilities+
** +VK_NV_external_memory+
** +VK_NV_external_memory_win32+
** +VK_NV_win32_keyed_mutex+
Github Issues:
* Clarify description of GetInstanceProcAddr and GetDeviceProcAddr (public
issue 212).
* Add SPIR-V <<textures-operation-validation, instruction validation>> for
single-sampled images (public issue 316).
* Fix spelling of ``tesselation'' in a few places and note it as an
exception to the American spelling rules convention (public issue
327).
* Fix Makefile to create output directory for ``styleguide''
target (public issue 329).
* Fix numerous minor issues with incorrectly tags on enumerant names and
table titles (public issue 330).
* Generate specversion.txt date in UTC time and RFC 2822 format
(public issue 335).
* Convert link to the SPIR-V Specification for
flink:VkShaderModuleCreateInfo into an internal link to the normative
reference (public issue 336).
* Add ename:VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY error code to
flink:vkCreateDebugReportCallbackEXT (public issue 337).
Internal Issues:
* Update style guide regarding use of code:NULL and dname:VK_NULL_HANDLE
(internal issue 393).
* Change the definition of latexmath:[$q$] in the
<<textures-image-level-selection,texture image level selection>> section
to be the index of the maximum defined level for the view, not the
number of levels in the view (internal issue 406).
* Allow developers to override dname:VK_DEFINE_NON_DISPATCHABLE_HANDLE
with their own binary-compatible definition (internal issue 439).
* Fix +vk_platform.h+ conditional logic causing compile failure with some
Android compilers (internal issue 441).
* Implement the single-branch model as described above (internal issue
461).

Change log for July 22, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.22 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 22 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Translate the subpass self-dependency language into concrete
validity statements, and added a validity statement about the
restrictions on layout parameters (public issue 267).
* Add validity requirement that
slink:VkAttachmentDescription::pname:finalLayout and
slink:VkAttachmentReference::pname:layout must not be
ename:VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_UNDEFINED or
ename:VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_PREINITIALIZED (public issue 268).
* Clarify that slink:VkSubpassDescription::pname:pResolveAttachments
layouts are used. Make language consistent with other attachment
arrays (public issue 270).
* Changed 64-bit definition for
dname:VK_DEFINE_NON_DISPATCHABLE_HANDLE to work for x32 platform in
+vk.xml+ and the resulting +vulkan.h+ (public issue 282).
* Add missing error return code for
flink:vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties and
flink:vkEnumerateDeviceExtensionProperties (public issue 285)
* Fix several cases of stext::VkStructName.memberName markup to
stext::VkStructName::pname:memberName, to match other usage in the
spec, and describe this markup in the style guide (public issue
286).
* Modified validity language generation script to avoid redundant
common ancestor language if covered by generic parent language, and
used `Both' instead of `Each' when appropriate (public issue 288).
Internal Issues:
* Add language about behavior of flink:vkAllocateDescriptorSets when
allocation fails due to fragmentation, a new error
ename:VK_ERROR_FRAGMENTED_POOL, and a Note explaining the situation
(internal issue 309).
* For the features of code:PointSize, code:ClipDistance, and
code:CullDistance, the SPIR-V capability is required to be declared
on use (read or write) rather than on decoration (internal issue
359).
* Have desktop versions of GLSL respect precision qualification
(code:mediump and code:lowp) when compiling for Vulkan. These will
get translated to SPIR-V's code:RelaxedPrecision decoration as they
do with OpenGL ES versions of GLSL (ESSL). The default precision of
all types is code:highp when using a desktop version (internal issue
360).
* Add validity statement for slink:VkImageCreateInfo specifying that
multisampled images must be two-dimensional, optimally tiled, and
with a single mipmap level (internal issue 369).
* Add validity statements to slink:VkImageViewCreateInfo disallowing
creation of images or image views with no supported features. Made
some slink:VkImageViewCreateInfo validity statements more precise
and consistent. Added a Note to the <<features,features>> chapter
about formats with no features (internal issue 371).
* Remove +manpages+ from default build targets. Nroff outputs
containing imbedded latexmath will not render properly. Fixing this
is a lot of work for limited use cases (internal issue 401).
Other Commits:
* Fix flink:vkRenderPassBeginInfo::pname:clearValueCount validity
statement to be based on attachment indices rather than the number
of cleared attachments
(Vulkan-LoaderAndValidationLayers/issues/601).
* Convert registry documentation from LaTeX to asciidoc source and
rename from +src/spec/readme.tex+ to +src/spec/registry.txt+.
* Fix lack of Oxford commas in validity language.
* Lots of cleanup of generator scripts and Makefiles to move extension
list for generator into the script arguments instead of the body of
genvk.py, and express better dependencies between XML, scripts, and
generated files.
