eb9997129d Change log for June 24, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.18 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 18 for this
    update.

Github Issues:

  * Added "queue operation" terminology, and modified spec to actually
    use this terminology (public issue 155). The act of submitting a
    piece of work to a queue now generates "operations" for the queue to
    execute, including operations to wait on/signal semaphores and
    fences. Synchronization waits on these operations, making execution
    dependency chains more obvious for semaphores and fences (though
    additional work is still needed here). These changes include:
  ** Overview of "queue submission" commands in chapter
     <<devsandqueues-submission>>.
  ** Updated descriptions for fence and semaphore waits and signals in
     the synchronization chapter <<synchronization-semaphores-waiting>>,
     <<synchronization-semaphores-signaling>> and
     <<synchronization-fences-waiting>>.
  ** Clarifications to semaphore and fence operation within queue
     submission functions.
  ** New glossary terms.
  ** Moved device idle and queue wait idle to synchronization chapter in
     order to describe them in terms of other synchronization
     primitives.
  ** Clarifications to semaphore and fence operation allowed removal of
     the "implicit ordering guarantees" section, as this information is
     now wholly covered where these primitives are described.
  *** The "host writes" section of this is still there for now - in its
      own section. This could probably be merged into other sections
      later.
  *** Modified fundamentals chapter on queue ordering to make sense in
      context of the new changes, and avoid duplication.
      <<fundamentals-queueoperation>>
  * Added "aspect" and "component" definitions to the glossary, and made
    sure these terms are referenced correctly (public issue 163).
  * Update valid usage for ftext:vkGet*ProcAddr to only include
    conditions that must be met to get a valid result. In particular,
    it's okay to call flink:vkGetDeviceProcAddr with any string and will
    get a code:NULL if that string is not a core Vulkan function or an
    enabled extension function (addresses but does not fully close
    public issue 214).
  * Change the WSI extension dependencies to refer to version 1.0 of the
    Vulkan API, instead of the pre-1.0-release internal revisions
    numbers (public issue 238).
  * Specified that <<interfaces-fragmentoutput,undeclared fragment
    shader outputs>> result in undefined values input to the blending
    unit or color attachment (public issue 240).

Internal Issues:

  * Better documented that the registry XML "optional" tag for values
    only applies when that value is the size of an array (internal issue
    335).
  * Add a stronger definition for the valid usages of
    VkSpecializationMapEntry.size in the
    <<pipelines-specialization-constants,Specialization Constants>>
    section (internal issue 345).
  * Change code:OpName to code:OpDecorate (along with appropriate
    syntax) for vertex shader built-ins (internal issue 368).
  * Add missing ref pages (those which are not currently stubs) to
    apispec.txt for the single-page version of the ref pages (internal
    issue 378).

Other Commits:

  * Fix example in the <<descriptorsets,Descriptor Sets>> section to use
    M, N, and I, describing set, binding, and index, consistently
    throughout the example code.

6db51e9241 Change log for April 22, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.11 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 11 for this
    update.

Github Issues:

  * Clarify the WSI extension language by switching from the fuzzier
    "ownership" language to more-consistent "acquire" language (public
    issue 117).
  * Clarify that memory barriers apply to all commands in the dependency
    chains in the flink:vkGetRenderAreaGranularity command and the
    <<synchronization-execution-and-memory-dependencies,Execution And
    Memory Dependencies>> section (public issue 132).
  * Clarify that a queue family is a set of queues in the
    <<fundamentals-execmodel,Execution Model>> section (public issue
    166).
  * Removed requirement from valid usage language that
    VkPresentInfoKHR::waitSemaphoreCount must be greater than 0 (public
    issue 171).
  * Fix broken internal links, describe structures consistently, use
    consistent style for SPIR-V codewords, and tag normative terms that
    were missing asciidoc tags (public issue 183 and ancillary
    markup/normative language fixes).
  * Fix typos for slink:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits member names in
    slink:VkImageCreateInfo validity language (public issue 184).

Internal Issues:

  * Document that the requested patch version number specified as part
    of slink:VkApplicationInfo::pname:apiVersion is ignored when
    creating an instance (internal issue 176).
  * Clarify handling of extension structs in the
    <<fundamentals-validusageValid Usage>> section (internal issue 254).
  * Update required slink:VkImageFormatProperties::pname:maxMipLevels to
    be limited to the maximum allowed mipmap pyramid size corresponding
    to the actual maximum supported size for the format (internal issue
    256).
  * Modify the <<features-extentperimagetype,Allowed Extent Values Based
    On Image Type>> section so the allowed maximum extent is the maximum
    image dimension supported for each dimension of the type of texture
    being queried (internal issue 257).
  * Clarify in the <<spirvenv-module-validation,Validation Rules within
    a Module>> section that at least one of the code:LocalSize execution
    mode or code:WorkgroupSize decoration is required for each compute
    shader entry point in a shader module (internal issue 279).
  * Add validity rules for formats in flink:vkCmdClearColorImage and
    flink:vkCmdClearDepthStencilImage (internal issue 283).
  * Clarify that slink:VkImageFormatProperties::pname:maxResourceSize is
    an upper bound, and that it may not be possible to create an image
    anywhere near that size (internal issue 284).

Other Commits:

  * Fix various minor markup errors reported by validation scripts.
  * Change copyright from Khronos Free Use License to Apache 2.0 license
    on relevant script/XML/header files. This does not affect the
    specification source copyright.

7380aee56b Change log for March 4, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.5 spec update:
* Bump API patch number to 5 for this update.

Github Issues:
  * Correctly describe slink:VkPhysicalDeviceProperties pname:deviceName
    member as a string, not a pointer to a string. Also one typo fix for
    "hetereogeneous" (public issue 4).
  * Replace maynot: macro with may: not, and "may: or maynot:" with
    "may:" (public issue 4).
  * Clarify that redundantly setting the state of a fence or event has
    no effect (public issue 4).
  * Minor fixes to ref pages to track descriptions of memory bits that
    changed in the core spec. Fix name of a member in the description of
    sname:sname:VkPipelineMultisampleStateCreateInfo (public issues 8,
    13).
  * Remove redundant validity statement for
    sname:VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo::pname:stageCount (public issue
    14).
  * Fix typos in chapters 7-9 (public issue 14).
  * Clarify the example demonstrating the behavior of
    code:OpMemoryBarrier in the
    &lt;&lt;shaders-execution-memory-ordering,shader memory acces
    ordering>> section (public issue 16).
  * Specify that freeing mapped memory implicitly unmaps the memory in
    the description of flink:vkFreeMemory (public issue 17).
  * Forbid allocation callbacks from calling into the API in the
    &lt;&lt;memory-allocation,memory allocation>> section (public issue
    20).
  * Add missing validity rules about size being greater than 0 and
    offset being less than size of object. Fix
    flink:VkMappedMemoryRange's misinterpretation of offset (public
    issues 27, 31).
  * Add validity rule disallowing overlapping source/destination
    descriptors in flink:VkCopyDescriptorSet (public issue 32).
  * Clarify that array and matrix stride has to be a multiple of the
    base alignment of the array or matrix in the
    &lt;&lt;interfaces-resources-layout,Offset and Stride Assignment>>
    section (public issue 38).
  * Correct parenthesis floor nesting error in equation for
    &lt;&lt;textures-RGB-sexp,RGB to shared exponent conversion>>.
    Clarify case of when exp' is forced to 0, avoiding log2(0) undefined
    problem (public issue 40).
  * Remove redundant statement from the code:FragDepth description in
    the &lt;&lt;interfaces-builtin-variables,Built-In Variables>>
    section (public issue 47).
  * Define the clamping of the
    &lt;&lt;textures-level-of-detail-operation,bias added to the scale
    factor>> by linking to the slink:VkPhysicalDevice feature
    pname:maxSamplerLodBias (public issue 64).
  * Fix typo "optimal linear resources" and clarify the set of resources
    &lt;&lt;features-limits-bufferImageGranularity,the
    pname:bufferImageGranularity resource>> applies to (public issue
    67).
  * Replace 'descriptor accessed by a pipeline' language for
    sname:VkDescriptorSetAllocateInfo with more precise phrasing about
    binding a descriptor set before a command that invokes work using
    that set (public issue 69).
  * tstripadj.svg contained an Inkscape tag which caused Firefox and IE
    11 to fail to render it, and was illegal SVG. Generating Plain SVG
    from the Inkscape SVG source fixes this (public issue 70).
  * Fix validity for sname:VkVertexInputBindingDescription and
    sname:VkVertexInputAttributeDescription numbers (public issue 72).

Internal Issues:
  * Clarify the meaning of
    ename:VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_FILTER_LINEAR_BIT in
    elink:VkFormatFeatureFlagBits with respect to depth compare
    (internal issue 107).
  * Added a note explaining that ename:VK_QUEUE_TRANSFER_BIT may or may
    not be reported for a queue family that already supports
    ename:VK_QUEUE_GRAPHICS_BIT or ename:VK_QUEUE_COMPUTE_BIT as the
    former is a strict subset of the latter ones (internal issue 116).
  * Add validity language for sname:VkDescriptorSetAllocateInfo about
    exceeding the descriptor pool capacity (internal issue 140).
  * Add ename:VK_INCOMPLETE success code for
    flink:vkEnumeratePhysicalDevices query (internal issue 163).

  * Update GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl with 1) origin_upper_left as default 2)
    specialization array constant semantics.
  * Corrected/updated Data Format Specification date.
