Change log for September 30, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.29 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 29 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Remove redundant constraint on
slink:VkCommandBufferInheritanceInfo::pname:queryFlags (public issue
224).
* Fix typo and remove link in Note in the
<<extended-functionality-instance-extensions-and-devices, Instance
Extensions and Device Extensions>> section (public issue 359).
* Fix erroneous validation statement for the pname:layout member of
slink:VkComputePipelineCreateInfo (public issue 362).
Internal Issues:
* Restore long figure captions using asciidoc sidebar blocks, due to
restrictions of asciidoc syntax (internal issue 101).
* Replace most latexmath equations with comparable markup in straight
asciidoc, which significantly improves time required to fully load and
process the HTML forms of the Specification. There are known minor font
and alignment inconsistencies with MathJax and PDF rendering of
latexmath equations. Please do not file github issues about these. We
are aware of the inconsistencies and will make refinements over time,
while the performance improvements are compelling in at least some major
browsers (internal issue 313).
* Move handcoded validity statements from +vk.xml+ into the Specification
body, easing work in the single-branch model. Specify the distinction
between these explicit statements, and the implicit validity statements
inferred from vk.xml. Validity statements now appear in two blocks for
each command and structure - handcoded "Valid Usage" and the implicit
"Valid Usage (Implicit)" (internal issue 392).
* Add the +returnedonly="false"+ attribute to WSI output structures,
removing incorrectly generated implicit validity statements for
slink:VkDisplayPropertiesKHR, slink:VkDisplayPlanePropertiesKHR,
slink:VkDisplayModePropertiesKHR, slink:VkDisplayPlaneCapabilitiesKHR,
slink:VkSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR, and slink:VkSurfaceFormatKHR structures
(internal issue 486).
* Update slink:VkImageLayout to require the
ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_SAMPLED_BIT be set for sampled depth/stencil images
(internal issue 487).
* Use an explicit format specifier string for the date command invocation
in the +Makefile+ instead of the shorthand -R option, which doesn't work
on BSD and MaxOS X date commands (internal issue 500).
Other Issues:
* Use the terms ``allocation scope'' and ``extension scope'' instead of
just ``scope'', and add them to the glossary.

Change log for September 23, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.28 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 28 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Minor spelling and typography cleanup, add definitions of
ename:VK_FALSE and ename:VK_TRUE as just what their names say
(public issues 220, 318, 325, 365; internal issues 451, 496)
* Clarify that the pname:maxDescriptorSet limits in the
<<features-limits-required,Required Limits>> table are n *
maxPerStage limit (where n=number of supported stages) (public issue
254).
* Minor cleanup to <<boilerplate-platform-macros,Platform-Specific
Macro Definitions>> appendix (public issue 314).
* Add valid usage statement to slink:VkPipelineLayoutCreateInfo
disallowing multiple push constant ranges for the same shader stage
(public issue 340).
* Clarify the elink:VkSharingMode description of what executing the
"same" barriers means in case of ownership transfer (public issue
347).
* Rename copyright.txt and add COPYING.md to try and reduce confusion
about applicable copyrights (public issue 350).
* Extend the table in the <<boilerplate-wsi-header, Window System-Specific
Header Control>> section to describe the external headers included when
each etext:VK_USE_PLATFORM_* macro is defined (public issue 376).
Internal Issues:
* Add "Revision History" to the PDF outputs following the table of
contents, to match HTML outputs (internal issue 43).
* Clarified that flink:vkMapMemory may fail due to virtual address
space limitations (internal issue 346).
* Add +refBody+ comment markup for ref page autoextraction when required
(internal issue 400).
* Document proper use of "mipmap" and "mip" in the style guide API
naming rules, matching the spelling rules (internal issue 471).
* Tweak the <<extensions,Layers and Extensions>> appendix to note that
the Specification may be built with arbitrary combinations of
extensions (internal issue 483).
* Remove incorrect statement allowing
slink:VkClearAttachment::pname:colorAttachment to be >=
slink:VkSubpassDescription::pname:colorAttachmentCount (internal
issue 488).
* The <<features-limits-viewportboundsrange,viewportBoundsRange>> is
expressed in terms of the pname:maxViewportDimensions but this is
actually two values. Clarify that it's based on the larger of the two
(if they differ) (internal issue 499).
Other Issues:
* Reflowed text of the entire spec using the 'reflow' Makefile gater,
to (hopefully) reduce future internal git churn as edits are made
and extensions added in return for one-time pain. This has no
perceptible change on the spec outputs but considerable changes on
the asciidoc source (internal issue 367).

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 September 6, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.26 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 26 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Bring sample code in the +VK_KHR_surface+ and +VK_KHR_swapchain+
extension summary appendices up to date, and note they will be replaced
with pointers to the LunarG SDK examples in the future (public issue
279).
* Add a new <<fundamentals-commandsyntax-results-lifetime,Lifetime of
Retrieved Results>> section specifying that ftext:vkGet* and
ftext:VkEnumerate* results are invariant unless otherwise specified, and
specify behavior for individual commands which are not invariant (public
issue 280).
* Remove conflicting definition of
slink:VkDisplayPlaneCapabilitiesKHR::pname:maxSrcPosition and clean up
language of the remaining definition (public issue 351).
* Fix many minor spelling errors and add rules to the style guide to
prevent recurrences (public issue 352).
Internal Issues:
* Remove redundant descriptions of the etext:VK_USE_PLATFORM_* macros from
the <<wsi,Window System Integration>> chapter in favor of the
description in the <<boilerplate-wsi-header,Window System-Specific
Header Control>> appendix (internal issue 6).
* Replace misleading 'can: be destroyed when not X' with more correct
'must: not be destroyed while X' in the
<<fundamentals-objectmodel-lifetime,Object Lifetime>> section. Disallow
destroying a pipeline layout while a command buffer using it is
recording (internal issue 241).
* Clarify that ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_TRANSIENT_ATTACHMENT_BIT is valid for
all images used as attachments in elink:VkImageUsageFlagBits and the
slink:VkImageLayout validity language (internal issue 320).
* Note that <<extended-functionality-layers,Layers>> may wrap object
handles, but that this is a generally discouraged. A link to additional
information in the documentation for layer authors is provided (issue
398)
* Replace the mustnot: and shouldnot: macros with equivalent must: not and
should: not to get rid of non-English words while still highlighting
normative language (internal issue 407).
* Disallow creating multisampled images with
ename:VK_IMAGE_CREATE_CUBE_COMPATIBLE_BIT in the slink:VkImageLayout
validity language and the <<features-supported-sample-counts,Supported
Sample Counts>> section (internal issue 445).
* Fix typo so that flink:vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect is defined in terms of
flink:vkCmdDrawIndexed rather than flink:vkCmdDrawIndirect (internal
issue 446).
* Reorganize the per-extension information sections to all be in the
<<extensions,Layers & Extensions>> appendix. Also fix a typo in
+VK_IMG_filter_cubic+ which incorrectly identified it as a +KHR+
extension (internal issue 461).
Other Issues:
* Use asciidoc markup instead of latexmath to simplify diagrams in the
<<features-formats-non-packed,byte mapping tables>> for color formats.
* Fix a markup problem with the wildcarded enumerant names in a NOTE in
the <<textures-texel-replacement,Texel Replacement>> section.
* Fix missing attributes in the XML interface for
elink:VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagBitsNV and
elink:VkExternalMemoryFeatureFlagBitsNV (KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Hpp issue
#25)
* Cleanup reference page builds so only core pages are built for releases.

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:

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

Change log for August 5, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.23 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 23 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Add explicit valid value attributes to pname:sType members in vk.xml
(public issue 34).
* Clarify usage of flink:vkGetInstanceProcAddr and
flink:vkGetDeviceProcAddr (public issue 225).
* Fix a copy-and-paste error in the description of
pname:pSwapchainImageCount saying that it was the count of ``format
pairs'' instead of ``swapchain images'' (public issue 292).
* flink:vkCmdExecuteCommandBuffers requires all command buffers to be
allocated from command pools created for the same queue family (public
issue 296).
* Remove bogus +optional+ attribute for
flink:vkEnumerateDeviceLayerProperties::pname:physicalDevice from vk.xml
(public issue 301).
* Clean up the <<resources-image-views-compatibility,image and image view
compatibility table>> reference and contents. Use full enumerant names.
Refer to pname:layerCount in the ``view parameters'' column instead of
pname:arrayLayers. Require N >= 1 for the cube array subview row, not
just arrayLayers >= 6 N (public issue 304).
* Modify description of <<resources-memory-aliasing,memory aliasing>> to
be consistent with the description of
<<resources-bufferimagegranularity,buffer image granularity>> (public
issue 307).
Internal Issues:
* Describe remaining +vk_platform.h+ macros in the <<boilerplate,API
Boilerplate>> appendix (internal issue 6).
* Clarify
<<features-features-robustBufferAccess,pname:robustBufferAccess>>
feature behavior; what memory can be accessed, how bounds checking is
performed, and allowing for vectorization (internal issue 332).
* Document markup for automatic extraction of reference pages from the
spec sources in the style guide (internal issue 395).
* Allow flink:vkCreateDisplayModeKHR to return
ename:VK_ERROR_INITIALIZAION_FAILED_KHR if the user requests mode
parameters that the specified display does not support (internal issue
411).
* Remove atomic counters (atomic_uint style) from KHR_vulkan_glsl, and
more clearly remove the subroutine keyword alongside it (internal issue
421).
* Clarify behavior of flink:vkCmdBindDescriptorSets for descriptor sets
not contained in the layout (internal issue 427).
Other Commits:
* Change the order in which members of sname:VkAttachmentDescription and
sname:VkPipelineInputAssemblyStateCreateInfo are described to match
their order in the structures.

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.

Change log for July 15, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.21 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 21 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Clarify how <<features-supported-sample-counts,sample count queries>>
relate to the limits in slink:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits. (public issue
185).
* Clarify in the <<interfaces-iointerfaces,Shader Input and Output
Interfaces>> section that shader output variables have undefined values
until the shader writes to them (public issue 240).
* Specify the implicit value of image parameters that cannot be set in
slink:VkSwapchainCreateInfo::pname:flags, pname:imageType,
pname:mipLevels, pname:samples, pname:tiling, and pname:initialLayout
(public issue 243).
* Make use of code:NULL and code:VK_NULL_HANDLE consistent in the
VK_KHR_swapchain extension (public issue 276).
Internal Issues:
* Clarify that presenting an image to a display surface swapchain applies
the display surface's mode, and that destroying a display surface
swapchain may reset the display's mode, in the VK_KHR_display_swapchain
extension (internal issue 247).
* Better describe what a slink:VkSurfaceKHR is, and that creating one does
not set a mode, in the VK_KHR_display extension. This is a round-about
way of pointing out that mode setting is not covered by the extension,
but rather is performed as a side effect of presentation (internal issue
247).
* Add more valid usage statements to flink:vkQueuePresentKHR command when
the VK_KHR_display_swapchain extension is present (internal issue
247).
* Add more includes to the VK_KHR_swapchain extension to better document
interactions with VK_KHR_display_swapchain (internal issue 247).
* Clarify restrictions on location aliasing in the
<<fxvertex,Fixed-Function Vertex Processing>> section (internal issue
370).
* Add mathematical description of blitting to flink:vkCmdBlitImage, and
link it to the <<textures,Image Operations>> chapter. Use mathematical
notation for ranges of texel coordinates in the <<textures,Image
Operations>> chapter. Fixed miscellaneous validity statements for
flink:vkCmdBlit and slink:VkImageBlit (internal issue 382).
Other Commits:
* Added a valid usage rule to flink:VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo that the
ename:VK_PRIMITIVE_TOPOLOGY_PATCH_LIST topology must only be used when
tessellation shaders are used.
* Expand the style guide into a formal "Procedures and Conventions"
document. Add a API Naming Conventions section, move most of the API
Specification Appendix C (Layers and Extensions) content into the new
document, and define the resulting procedures as mandatory (where
relevant). This more clearly separates use vs. specification of Vulkan
APIs.
* Update vk_platform.h to handle 32-bit ARMv8 binaries.
* Various minor cleanups to the Makefile and build process.

Change log for July 10, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.20 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 20 for this
update.
Github Issues:
* Replaced existing reference pages by text automatically extracted
from the specification source, or generated from vk.xml in some
cases. This isn't a complete solution for the reference pages, but
puts them in a much better state. The ref pages (only) are now
placed under a CC BY open source license, which is more current than
the obsolete license previously used.
Further improvements to the pages should not edit them directly, but
instead concentrate on the specification source from which the ref
pages are being extracted (public issues 44, 55, 160; internal issue
389).

* Add numbered figure captions (public issue 219).
* Fix output variable names in the <<fundamentals-fpfixedconv,Conversion
from Floating-Point to Normalized Fixed-Point>> section and related
minor normative language and markup cleanup (public issue 220).
Internal Issues:
* Fix reference to nonexistent etext:VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_TRANSFER_{SRC,DST}BIT
to the actual etext:VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT{SRC,DST}_OPTIMAL (internal issue
296).
* Update the <<sparsememory-sparse-memory-aliasing,Sparse Resource
Implementation Guidelines>> to refer to the correct feature names
(internal issue 305).

* Fix typos in VK_KHR_wayland_surface extension where code:wl_device was
used instead of code:wl_display (public issue 193).
* Replaced {apiname} with ``Vulkan'' in XML validity statements (public
issue 199).
* Fix dead links for WSI handle types (public issue 200).
*** N.b. this needs to be done in WSI branches as well ***
* Use "signaled" instead of "signalled" spelling everywhere (public issue
201).
*** N.b. this needs to be done in WSI branches as well ***
* Move readme.pdf target directory for XML schema documentation into the
target generation directory, instead of leaving it checked into the spec
source tree (public issue 203).
*** N.b. need to add generated PDF to registry index/1.0 page
* Fix duplicate 'which which' typo in description of
elink:VkCommandPoolResetFlagBits (public issue 204).
* Move the <<Programmable Primitive Shading>> section up one level, out of
the <<drawing-primitive-topologies,Primitive Topologies>> section
(public issue 209).
Internal Issues:
* Clarify in the <<pipelines-cache,Pipeline Cache>> section that
implementations should not manage the size of pipeline cache (internal
issue 192).
* Deprecate the concept of device layers and associated commands (internal
issue 255).
* Remove ename:VK_INCOMPLETE from the list of possible result codes of
flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR (internal issue 314).
* Add missing std140/std430 rule: the base alignment of a member following
a structure is a multiple of the structure's base alignment (internal
issue 321).
* Fixes naming of the single elink:VkColorSpaceKHR enum from
ename:VK_COLORSPACE_SRGB_NONLINEAR_KHR to
ename:VK_COLOR_SPACE_SRGB_NONLINEAR_KHR in XML/header and the
VK_KHR_swapchain and VK_KHR_surface extensions to match the style of the
typename (space and color are two words, not one) (internal issue 322).
* Make it clear that code:LocalInvocationID should only be applied to an
input variable and normalize the language describing
code:LocalInvocationID to the language for other compute shader
variables in the <<interfaces-builtin-variables,Built-in Variables>>
section, and add normative language (internal issue 323).
* Clarify in the <<fundamentals-returncodes,Return Codes>> section that
the result pointer may be modified for specific commands, even if a
runtime error is returned (internal issue 324).

* Bump API patch number and header version number to 12 for this
update.
Github Issues:
* Change valid usage statements intended to be "sub-points" to
be actual sub-points (public issue 66).
* Replace double negation in description of
slink:VkRenderPassBeginInfo::pname:pClearValues (based on public
merge 142).
* Cleanup minor typos in spec, ref pages and XML, including those
proposed in public pull requests 144, 150, 151, 167, 168, 181, and
186.
* Use *strict subset* in describing the partial order of memory
property types for slink:VkMemoryType, and update the style guide
accordingly (public issue 190).
* Fix various "a image" -> "an image" typos (public issue 191).
* Note in the <<fundamentals-validusage,Valid Usage>> and
<<extensions-interactions,Extension Interactions>> sections that
structures defined by extensions which may be passed in structure
chains using the ptext:pNext member must: include initial
ptext:sType and ptext:pNext members (public issue 192).
Internal Issues:

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.

Change log for April 15, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.10 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 10 for this
update.
Github Issues:
* Slightly tweak the <<memory-allocation,Host Memory>> allocator language
so that an application wrapping the standard C alloc/free/realloc
functions is still correct - the previous language was too strong with
regards to freeing memory. Also made certain scenarios clearer - an
implementation may now continue without error if an allocation failed
and it is able to continue correctly (public issue 21).
* Require that etext:VK_*_CREATE_SPARSE_BINDING_BIT is set when the
corresponding etext:VK_*_CREATE_SPARSE_RESIDENCY_BIT is used, in the
<<sparsememory-miptail,Mip Tail Regions>> section and related commands
flink:vkCreateBuffer and flink:vkCreateImage (public issue 84).
* Update the <<features,Features, Limits, and Formats>> chapter to clarify
interactions between optional features and dynamic state for the
pname:depthBiasClamp and pname:wideLines features (public issue 89).
* Describe the code:WorkgroupSize builtin in the
<<interfaces-builtin-variables,Built-In Variables>> section, and update
the <<compute-shaders,Compute Shaders>> section to further clarify how
to set the number of workgroups to execute in a compute shader (public
issue 145).
* Use the term *image subresource* everywhere instead of *subresource*,
except for the special case of *host-accessible subresource*, which may
be either an image subresource or buffer range (public issue 120)
* Add a note to the <<features,Features, Limits, and Formats>> section
about extensibility of structures (Public issue 165).
* Fix return code flink:vkAcquireNextImageKHR when the timeout parameter
is 0 to ename:VK_NOT_READY instead of ename:VK_TIMEOUT (public issue
170).
* Fix typo in slink:VkLayerProperties::pname:apiVersion field (public
issue 172).
Internal Issues:
* Fix a few minor internally-detected typos.
* Minor formatting tweaks to pseudocode in the <<resources,Resource
Creation>> chapter (internal issue 179).
* Fix typo in the definition of point sampling for
elink:VkCullModeFlagBits (internal issue 268).

Change log for March 25, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.7 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 7 for this
update.
Github Issues:
* Fix slink:VkSpecializationMapEntry example to avoid C/C++ strict
aliasing issues (public issue 14).
* Clarify the meaning of "matching" in flink:vkCmdBindDescriptorSets
validity language (public issue 33).
* Add stub reference pages so xrefs to not-yet-written pages don't
generate 404 errors. However, the actual content of these pages
still needs to be filled in as time allows (public issue 44, but
does not close that issue out).
* Remove incorrect validity statement for
flink:vkGetImageSparseMemoryRequirements (public issue 85).
* Reword the
<<features-limits-bufferImageGranularity,bufferImageGranularity>>
feature in terms of "aliasing", and clarify that it applies to
bindings in the same memory object (public issue 90).
* Clarify the relationship of the slink:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits
pname:maxViewportDimensions and pname:viewportBoundsRange limits
(public issue 92).
* Specify sparse unbound texture replacement in the
<<textures-texel-replacement,Texel Replacement>> section
independently of robust buffer access language (public issue 100).
* Add the <<fundamentals-architecture-model,Architecture Model>>
section to explain architecture constraints Vulkan has chosen to
accept in order to enable portable and performant code (public issue
122).
* State that an object must not be destroyed until *all* (not *any*)
uses of that object have completed (public issue 123).
* Minor editorial cleanup (public issues 129, 134, 146, 148).
* Add validity language for layer and extension names to
slink:VkDeviceCreateInfo matching that used for
slink:VkInstanceCreateInfo (public issue 130).
* Clean up terminology for the case when the bits set in one bitmask
are a subset of the bits set in another bitmask (public issue 138).
* Document that input attachments are UniformConstant not Input, in
the <<interfaces-inputattachment,Fragment Input Attachment
Interface>> section (public glslang bug 169).
Internal Issues:
* Add max enum values to "flag bits" enums (internal issue #136).
* Clarify language around the various uses of the term "block" in the
<<appendix-compressedtex-bc,Block Compressed Image Formats>> section
(internal issue #202).
* Removed "expand" dependency from <enums> groups in vk.xml and added
auto-generation code in the scripts to infer it instead, to ensure
consistency. This caused renaming of sname:VkColorSpaceKHR and
sname:VkPresentModeKHR etext:BEGIN_RANGE (etc.) tokens, but those
tokens are metadata, not part of the API, and the Vulkan WG is OK
with this change. This change adds ranges to two additional enums
that were missing them due to not defining the "expand" attribute
(internal issue 217).
* Tweak makefile to generate ref page nroff (.3) files in the right
output directory, working around an a2x limitation (internal issue
223).
Other Commits:
* Add validity requirements for flink:vkCmdCopyQueryPoolResults
pname:dstBuffer parameter.
* Fix ref page build to generate .3 targets in the right output
directory.

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
<<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
<<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
<<interfaces-resources-layout,Offset and Stride Assignment>>
section (public issue 38).
* Correct parenthesis floor nesting error in equation for
<<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 <<interfaces-builtin-variables,Built-In Variables>>
section (public issue 47).
* Define the clamping of the
<<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
<<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).
Other Commits:
* Add the VK_NV_glsl_shader extension definitions to the API.
* Update GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl with 1) origin_upper_left as default 2)
specialization array constant semantics.
* Corrected/updated Data Format Specification date.
