* 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`
* Update release number to 92.
Public Issues:
* Move and modify valid usage statements dealing with pname:aspectMask in
flink:vkCmdClearColorImage, flink:vkCmdClearDepthStencilImage, and
slink:VkClearAttachment, so they are in places where all necessary
information is available (public issue 529).
* Fix math markup in <<textures-texel-anisotropic-filtering, Texel
Anisotropic Filtering>> (public pull request 840).
* Fix misspellings (public pull request 845).
Internal Issues:
* Add installation instructions and a Makefile "`chunked`" target for
chunked HTML generation (internal issue 1352).
* Fix pipeline mesh diagram style; also fix a minor bug in the classic
pipeline diagram where vertex/index buffers wrongly fed into the vertex
shader (internal issue 1436).
* Make asciidoctor ERROR output raise an error, and don't suppress
executed command output from CI make invocation (internal issue 1454).
* Minor typo fixes and clarifications for `VK_NV_raytracing`.
* Cleanup extension-specific properties
** Remove duplicated documentation for pname:maxDiscardRectangles,
pname:pointClippingBehavior, and pname:maxVertexAttribDivisor (they
shouldn't be documented with the other members of
slink:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits at all).
** Remove duplicate anchor for pname:maxVertexAttribDivisor
** Consistently document stext:VkPhysicalDevice<Extension>PropertiesKHR
*** Always document pname:sType/pname:pNext (was inconsistent before)
*** Always mention chaining to slink:VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2 (and not
as slink:VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2KHR)
*** Always include Valid Usage statements last
* Update Makefile 'checklinks' target and associated scripts, and fix
markup problems identified by checkLinks.py, so that we can rely on the
checklinks script as part of Gitlab CI.
