* Update release number to 124.
Github Issues:
* Fix Makefile SPECREMARK macro to work when not building in a git tree
(public issue 992).
* Ignore pname:aspectMask for unused attachments in
slink:VkSubpassDescription2KHR valid usage statements (public pull
request 1028).
* Minor markup / spelling fixes (public pull requests 1035, 1045).
Internal Issues:
* Fix markup in Valid Usage statement for slink:VkCreateFramebuffer
(internal issue 1823).
* Add a new <<synchronization-signal-operation-order, _signal operation
order_>> section to the synchronization chapter which describes in
detail the ordering guarantees provided by the API between fence and
semaphore signal operations (internal merge request 3368).
* Move generated `appendix/meta/` files into the Makefile GENERATED
directory (internal merge request 3381).
New Extensions
* `<<VK_KHR_shader_clock>>`
* `<<VK_KHR_timeline_semaphore>>`
* Update release number to 118.
Github Issues:
* Update `BUILD.adoc` to specifically require asciidoctor 1.5.8, and make
that change to the gitlab CI script (public issue 968).
* Remove redundant slink:VkSubpassDependency and
slink:VkSubpassDependency2KHR valid usage statements
(public pull request 995).
* Clarify the <<vkGetInstanceProcAddr behavior>> and <<vkGetDeviceProcAddr
behavior>> tables (public pull request 1004).
* Fix use of nonexistent
slink:VkSamplerYcbcrConversionImageFormatProperties::pname:maxCombinedImageSamplerDescriptorCount
(public pull request 1010).
* Use compatible pathlib for python2 (public pull request 1012).
Internal Issues:
* Mark the <<VK_KHR_vulkan_memory_model>> extension as no longer
provisional in `vk.xml` (internal issue 1369).
* Clarify that use-defined code:Input and code:Output variables cannot be
code:Boolean in the <<interfaces-iointerfaces-user, User-defined
Variable Interface>> section (internal issue 1663).
* Fix naming inconsistencies in
slink:VkPhysicalDevicePerformanceQueryFeaturesKHR,
slink:VkPhysicalDevicePerformanceQueryPropertiesKHR,
slink:VkQueryPoolPerformanceCreateInfoKHR, and associated enumerants
(internal issue 1746).
* Use ACM reference style for normative references (internal merge request
3256).
* Explicitly list the features changed in Vulkan 1.1 in the
<<features-requirements, Feature Requirements>> section and the
<<versions, Core Revisions (Informative)>> appendix (internal merge
request 3274).
* Add the slink:VkPhysicalDeviceSubgroupSizeControlFeaturesEXT structure
to the <<VK_EXT_subgroup_size_control>> extension, which was
accidentally omitted in the initial release of the extension (internal
merge request 3287).
* Add missing slink:VkImageUsageFlag description for
ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_FRAGMENT_DENSITY_MAP_BIT_EXT (internal merge
request 3292).
* Add valid usage statements to slink:VkAccelerationStructureInfoNV and
flink:vkGetAccelerationStructureHandleNV to clarify usage of
acceleration structure handle and geometries (internal merge request
3292).
New Extensions:
* `<<VK_AMD_shader_core_properties2>>`
* `<<VK_AMD_pipeline_compiler_control>>`
* Happy 50th Lunar Landing Day!
* Update release number to 116.
Internal Issues:
* Clarify that flink:vkCmdBeginQuery is the same as
flink:vkCmdBeginQueryIndexEXT with index = 0, and that
flink:vkCmdEndQuery is the same as flink:vkCmdEndQueryIndexEXT with
index = 0 (internal issue 1735).
* Clarify that when copying the depth aspect between buffers and images
via slink:VkBufferImage Copy, the depth values in buffer memory must be
in range if the `<<VK_EXT_depth_range_unrestricted>>` extension is not
enabled (internal issue 1737).
* Minor language tweaks in the <<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation
Rules within a Module>> section (internal issue 1744).
* Change the slink:VkPhysicalDeviceFloatControlsPropertiesKHR structure in
the `<<VK_KHR_shader_controls>>` extension. This is a rare case of
breaking the interface of an existing extension to acknowledge the
reality of divergent vendor implementations that could not be described
properly otherwise, and the breaking change is considered acceptable
given the expected low use of the extension (internal issue 1734).
Specific changes:
** Added the slink:VkShaderFloatControlsIndependenceKHR enumeration to
describe the three possible behaviors.
** Renamed pname:separateDenormSettings to
pname:denormBehaviorIndependence.
** Renamed pname:separateRoundingModeSettings to
pname:roundingModeIndependence
* Add a missing valid usage statement for
slink:VkQueryPoolCreateInfo::pname:queryCount (internal issue 1742).
* Update the `<<VK_NV_shading_rate_image>>` appendix to list all
interfaces defined by the extension.
* Add a valid usage statement to
slink:VkWriteDescriptorSetAccelerationStructureNV to clarify that
acceleration structure descriptors must be top level structures.
New Extensions:
* `<<VK_EXT_subgroup_size_control>>`
