* 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:
* 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`
