Change log for September 5, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.60 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 60 for this update. Github Issues: * Document that <<queries-timestamps, Timestamp Queries>> can only be meaningfully compared when they are written from the same queue (public issue 216). * Document that the `<extension>` tag `type` attribute is required for non-disabled extensions (derived from, but does not close public issue 354). * Clean up registry schema length attribute descriptions to be consistent and correct (public issue 555). Internal Issues: * Replace as much of the hand-written extension appendix metadata as possible with asciidoc includes generated from corresponding attributes of +vk.xml+, and enhance the style guide to match. This avoids inconsistencies between +vk.xml+ and the appendices, and produces a more uniform style (internal issue 137). * Remove the generated extDependency.{py,sh} files from the tree and create them dynamically on demand instead, reducing merge conflicts (internal issue 713). * Add a prototype tool for generating in-place difference markup for sections guarded by asciidoc conditionals, and new syntax for open blocks to support it (internal issue 833). * Remove unnecessary restriction of etext:*SYNC_FD_BIT_KHR external handle types to the same physical device in the slink:VkPhysicalDeviceIDPropertiesKHR, flink:VkImportMemoryWin32HandleInfoKHR, slink:VkImportFenceWin32HandleInfoKHR, slink:VkImportFenceFdInfoKHR, slink:VkImportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfoKHR, slink:VkImportSemaphoreFdInfoKHR <<external-memory-handle-types-compatibility, External memory handle types compatibility>>, <<external-semaphore-handle-types-compatibility, External semaphore handle types compatibility>>, and <<external-fence-handle-types-compatibility, External fence handle types compatibility>> sections (internal issue 956). Other Issues: * Remove dependency of +VK_KHX_device_group+ on +VK_KHR_swapchain+ (there is an interaction, but not a strict dependency), and add a new `extension` attribute to the `<require` XML tag to allow classifying a subset of interfaces of an extension as requiring another extension. Update the registry schema and documentation accordingly. New Extensions: * `VK_AMD_shader_fragment_mask` (and related `GL_AMD_shader_fragment_mask` GLSL extension) * `VK_EXT_sample_locations` * `VK_EXT_validation_cache` |

Change log for July 21, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.56 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 56 for this update. Github Issues: * Add valid usage statements for commands introduced by `VK_EXT_debug_report` and `VK_EXT_debug_marker` extensions, regarding the valid pname:object and pname:objectType values (public issue 495). * Modify `GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl` specification to document that uniform and buffer block arrays each take only a single binding (public issue 514). * Add `KHX` author tag to +vk.xml+ (public issue 526). Internal Issues: * Document use of code: macro for non-Vulkan APIs in the style guide (internal issue 863). * Document that reference page open block delimiters must not contain asciidoc section markup in the style guide (internal issue 898). * Fix <<spirvenv,SPIR-V appendix>> to say code:VariablePointersStorageBuffer instead of code:VariablePointersUniformBufferBlock (internal issue 928). Other Commits: * Add missing extension structures to dependency attributes in +vk.xml+. New Extenions: * `VK_EXT_depth_range_unrestricted` |

Change log for July 15, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.55 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 55 for this update. Github Issues: * Removed unintended optional parameter in +vk.xml+ from the pname:pWaitSemaphores member of slink:VkPresentInfoKHR, which resulted in the generation of an incorrect implicit valid usage clause allowing pname:pWaitSemaphores to be NULL even when pname:waitSemaphoreCount is non-zero (public issue 491). * Add missing attribute to +vk.xml+ documenting that slink:VkSwapchainCounterCreateInfoEXT extends slink:VkSwapchainCreateInfo (public issue 510). * Add const qualifier for some `VK_EXT_debug_market` extension command parameters that were missing it (public issue 513). * Fix definition of q and level~base~ in <<textures-image-level-selection,Image Level(s) Selection>> (public issue 515). * Clarify lifetime requirement for slink:VkRenderPass objects used in object creation (public issue 516). * Fix link to floating/normalized fixed-point conversion from <<interfaces-fragmentoutput,Fragment Output Interface>> (public issue 521). Internal Issues: * Update the style guide to include the general structure of a Vulkan command name, the specific rule for using "`Get`" vs. "`Enumerate`" in names, and a table of verbs commonly used in command names (spinoff of internal issue 753). * Clarified the behavior of automatic layout transitions in case of attachment views that are 2D or 2D array views of 3D images. In addition, restructured the valid usage clauses corresponding to the members of the slink:VkImageSubresourceRange structure and added missing valid usage clauses for its pname:baseMipLevel and pname:baseArrayLayer members (internal issues 803, 849). * Modify `GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl` specification to allow explicit std430 on a push_constant declaration (internal issue 919). Other Commits: * Modify <<synchronization-framebuffer-regions, Framebuffer Region Dependencies>> to use synchronization scope terminology. * Add ename:VK_COLOR_SPACE_EXTENDED_SRGB_NONLINEAR_EXT to the `VK_EXT_swapchain_colorspace` extension. * Replace XML comments with `comment` attributes and/or tags, to enable tools which transform the XML without loss of information. * Replace `validextensionstructs` with `structextends`, which is tagged in the child structure instead of the parent. This makes it slightly simpler to add new structs to the XML, causes fewer merge conflicts, and the information is kept localized to the extension structures where it belongs. The old `validextensionstructs` attributes will be retained until we're certain this doesn't cause problems with known consumers of +vk.xml+. |

Change log for June 4, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.51 spec update:
* 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: |

Change log for May 12, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.49 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 49 for this update. Github Issues: * Modify reference page extraction script to make internal links to spec anchors refer to the core specification instead of being dangling links (public issue 455). * Fix GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl typo and add a nor-normative mapping to the newly published StorageBuffer class (public issue 466). * Both flink:vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties and flink:vkEnumerateDeviceExtensionProperties return ename:VK_ERROR_LAYER_NOT_PRESENT, which covers the error case of an application providing a layer name that wasn't returned by ftext:vkEnumerate{Instance|Device}LayerProperties (public issue 487). * The specification for flink:VkApplicationInfo::apiVersion says that the driver must return ename:VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER in the case that pname:apiVersion specifies a non-supported version. That means that the valid usage should not also state that, and so the VU statement is removed. The VU had language about "`an effective substitute`" that would have been lost, and so it was moved to the pname:apiVersion description (public issue 488). Internal Issues: * Modify implicit validity generator script to assign asciidoc anchors to all valid usage statements it generates, and reflow.py script to insert Valid Usage ID (VUID) tags into the specification source files for explicit valid usage statements. This has no semantic effects on the specification, but will support the validation layer's detection of valid usage violations and allow it to link into the corresponding part of the specification (internal issue 583). * Assign VUID tags to all explicit VU statements and document the process and tag format in the style guide (internal issue 583). * Clarify the rules of whether to structure new functionality as instance extensions, device extensions, or both in the <<extended-functionality-instance-extensions-and-devices, Instance Extensions and Device Extensions>> section (internal issue 749). * Require that SPIR-V run-time arrays are only used with the code:BufferBlock decoration (internal issue 750). * Fix implicit and explicit valid usage statements for slink:VkWriteDescriptorSet::pname:dstSet (internal issue 767) * Fix SPIR-V code sample for ename:VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_UNIFORM_TEXEL_BUFFER in the <<descriptorsets-uniformtexelbuffer, Uniform Texel Buffer>> section (internal issue 770). * Clarify that disabling depth testing also disables depth writes in the <<fragops-ds-state, Depth and Stencil Operations>> section (internal issue 775). * flink:VkDescriptorImageInfo::pname:imageLayout must match the actual imageLayout at the time the image is accessed. This was in the spec text, but needed an associated valid usage statement. * Note that only 32-bit atomic operations are supported in the <<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a Module>> section. * Note that code:UniformConstant variables must not have initializers in the <<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a Module>> section. * Add a new elink:VkObjectType enumeration to the core API, promoted from elink:VkDebugObjectTypeEXT, since it is used for much more than just the debug_report extension. New Extensions: * `VK_KHR_get_surface_capabilities2` * `VK_KHR_shared_presentable_image` |

Change log for March 31, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.46 spec update:
* 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` |

Change log for March 10, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.43 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 43 for this update. Github Issues: * Make clearer that color write mask is applied regardless of whether blending is enabled, by referring to the <<framebuffer-color-write-mask,Color Write Mask>> section (public issue 241). * Fix public issue 414: ** Added two new command buffer states (invalid, pending), and an explicit "command buffer lifecycle" section to explain them. ** Replaced "pending execution" with "in the pending state". ** Replaced a bunch of "this will invalidate the command buffer" language with "this will move the command buffer to the invalid state", and added validation language for what state those command buffers should be in. ** Added additional validation language about what state a command buffer should be in for various commands that affect it. ** Added invalidation language to destroy commands in the lifetimes section of fundamentals. ** Added command buffers to list of objects which must not be deleted whilst a (primary) command buffer is in the recording or pending state. * Update `GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl` extension to allow anonymous push constant blocks (public issue 428). Internal Issues: * Document rules about extension interactions in the style guide (internal issue 579). * Require ename:VK_PRESENT_MODE_MAILBOX_KHR support in queries of surfaces created with flink:vkCreateWaylandSurfaceKHR using the VK_KHR_wayland_surface extension (internal issue 666). * Remove Valid Usage constraints for flink:vkAllocateDescriptorSets when the `VK_KHR_maintainance1` extension is present (internal issue 686). * Remove undocumented KHX-variants of vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties2KHR and vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties2KHR from the <<VK_KHX_external_memory_capabilities>> and <<VK_KHX_external_semaphore_capabilities>> extensions. New Extensions: * `VK_EXT_hdr_metadata` * `VK_GOOGLE_display_timing` |

Change log for February 27, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.42 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 42 for this update (the first anniversary edition). Github Issues: * Changed asciidoctor macros so cross-page links in the standalone reference pages function properly (public issue 462). Internal Issues: * Clarified host visibility discussion for slink:VkMemoryType, flink:vkInvalidateMappedMemoryRanges, elink:VkAccessFlagBits, and the <<synchronization-framebuffer-regions,Framebuffer Region Dependencies>> section, removing duplicated information and adding a central definition in the access types section (internal issue 552). * Change description of slink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfacePresentModesKHR::pname:pPresentModes to return an array of values, not structures (internal issue 699). New Extensions: * Add a NOTE to the <<extensions,Layers & Extensions>> chapter describing the experimental status of `KHX` extensions. * Add new Khronos, Khronos Experimental, and vendor Vulkan extensions for release at GDC: ** VK_KHR_descriptor_update_template ** VK_KHR_push_descriptor ** VK_KHX_device_group ** VK_KHX_device_group_creation ** VK_KHX_external_memory ** VK_KHX_external_memory_capabilities ** VK_KHX_external_memory_fd ** VK_KHX_external_memory_win32 ** VK_KHX_external_semaphore ** VK_KHX_external_semaphore_capabilities ** VK_KHX_external_semaphore_fd ** VK_KHX_external_semaphore_win32 ** VK_KHX_multiview ** VK_KHX_win32_keyed_mutex ** VK_EXT_discard_rectangles ** VK_MVK_ios_surface ** VK_MVK_macos_surface ** VK_NVX_multiview_per_view_attributes ** VK_NV_clip_space_w_scaling ** VK_NV_geometry_shader_passthrough ** VK_NV_sample_mask_override_coverage ** VK_NV_viewport_array2 ** VK_NV_viewport_swizzle * Add new GLSL vendor extensions to support new builtin variables: ** GL_EXT_device_group ** GL_EXT_multiview |

Change log for February 17, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.41 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 41 for this update. Github Issues: * Made all uses of `NULL` vs. code:VK_NULL_HANDLE consistent (public issue 276). * Clarify render pass compatibility in different usage scenarios (public issues 303 and 304). * Add valid usage statements to slink:VkFramebufferCreateInfo requiring that the width, height, and number of layers of the framebuffer all be nonzero (public issue 432). * Allow `offset` and `align` in any GLSL version for the `GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl` extension (public issue 435). * Specify lifetime of string objects passed to the tlink:PFN_vkDebugReportCallbackEXT user callback in the +VK_EXT_debug_report+ extension (public issue 446). * Fix inter-page links in multi-file reference pages (public issue 454). Internal Issues: * Update valid usage language for slink:VkImageCreateInfo to disallow creating images that have ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_TRANSIENT_ATTACHMENT_BIT set without other attachment usage bits (ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_INPUT_ATTACHMENT_BIT, ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_COLOR_ATTACHMENT_BIT, or ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT_BIT) (internal issue 540). * Disable `VK_EXT_swapchain_colorspace` extension until internal issues 640 and 661 are mutually resolved. * Allow alternative mipmap level selection when [eq]#lambda == 0.5# during texture <<textures-image-level-selection,Image Level(s) Selection>> (internal issue 680). Other Issues: * Add a clarification to the style guide that the extension revision number is treated as a patch number, so that changes to published extensions should only include bug fixes and spec clarifications. |

Change log for February 10, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.40 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 40 for this update. * There is a major build change in this release. We are now using the Ruby-based ``asciidoctor'' implementation, rather than the Python-based ``asciidoc'' implementation, to process the specification. While the actual specification markup changes were minimal, this requires a new set of build tools and a very different installation process, especially because we now use an experimental direct-to-PDF backend for Asciidoctor instead of Docbook->dblatex->PDF. It is no longer possible to build the Specification using asciidoc. See doc/specs/vulkan/README.adoc for some guidance on installing the new toolchain components. * There are some minor rendering issues in the PDF output due to teething problems with the asciidoctor toolchain, especially with mathematical equations. We are aware of these and working on them. Github Issues: * Updated sample code for the <<sparsememory-examples-basic,sparse resource binding example>> (public issue 97). * Modify line and point clipping behavior in the <<vertexpostproc-clipping, Primitive Clipping>> section to allow for pop-free behavior. The ability to check for which behavior is implemented may be added a future feature or extension (public issue 113). * Unify the discussions of implicit ordering throughout the spec, in particular in the new sections <<drawing-primitive-order, Primitive Order>>, <<primrast-order, Rasterization Order>>, and <<synchronization-implicit, Implicit Synchronization Guarantees>>; the discussion of <<synchronization-submission-order, submission order>>; and references elsewhere to these sections (public issue 133). * Clarify \<\<descriptorsets-compatibility,Pipeline Layout Compatibility>> language and introduce the term ``identically defined'' (public issue 164). * Add a dependency to the +VK_EXT_debug_marker+ extension that's needed to reuse the object type enum from +VK_EXT_debug_report+, and moves the definition of that enum into +VK_EXT_debug_report+ where it should be (public issue 409). * Remove redundant valid usage statement from slink:VkImageBlit (public issue 421). * Update GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl to allow the ternary operator to result in a specialization constant (public issue 424). * Fix valid usage for flink:VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo (public issue 426). * Correct typo in New Objects list for <<VK_EXT_debug_report>> (public issue 447). Internal Issues: * Moved to asciidoctor for spec builds (internal issue 121). * Update style guide to describe where to put new extensions-specific asciidoc files, and what to name them (internal issue 626). * Add src/spec/indexExt.py to autogenerate registry index entries linking into the 1.0-extensions specification, instead of maintaining the index manually. (internal issue 642). * Autogenerate extension dependencies and lists of all extensions and all KHR extensions from the "supported" attributes in +vk.xml+. Execute +make config/extDependency.sh+ from +doc/specs/vulkan+ when a supported extension is added to vk.xml, to regenerate the dependency script. The consequence is that specifying a single extension to the +makeExt+ script will automatically enable all extensions it depends on as well, and that the +makeAllExts+ and +makeKHR+ scripts do not need to be updated when a new extension is supported (internal issue 648). * Put extension appendices all at the same asciidoc section level, so KHR WSI extensions show up in the HTML index (internal issue 648). Other Issues: * Imbed images in the generated HTML specs instead of loading them from the images/ directory. * Fix missing EXT in extension name (ename:VK_EXT_SWAPCHAIN_COLOR_SPACE_EXTENSION_NAME). * Add new +VK_EXT_SMPTE_2086_metadata+ extension. * In the <<platformCreateSurface_xlib,Xlib Surface>> section of the +VK_KHR_xlib_surface+ specification, add language warning users that they always need to call code:XinitThreads. * Use the term "presentable image" (rather than "swapchain image") consistently in +VK_KHR_swapchain+ and related extensions, and add a glossary term defining it. * Relocate the valid usage for samples of flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSparseImageFormatProperties2KHR::pname:pFormatInfo to be below the flink:VkPhysicalDeviceSparseImageFormatInfo2KHR structure. |

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 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 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).

Change log for March 10, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.6 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 6 for this update. Github Issues: * Define 'invocation group' for compute and graphics shaders. Cleanup definition and use of 'workgroup', and add glossary entries (public issue 1). * Various minor editorial fixes (public issue 33). * Clarify locations for block members in the <<interfaces-iointerfaces-locations,Location Assignment>> section (public issue 45). * Editorial fixes for <<commandbuffer-allocation,Command Buffer Allocation>> section (public issues 54, 59). * Clarify behavior of depth test in the <<fragops-depth,Depth Test>> section (public issues 80, 81). * Remove discussion of return codes from flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSparseImageFormatProperties and flink:vkGetImageSparseMemoryRequirements, which don't return values (public issue 82). * Allow flink:vkCmdDrawIndirect and flink:vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect pname:drawCount of 0, as well as 1, when the multiDrawIndirect feature is not supported (public issue 88). * Remove confusing wording in the <<features-limits,Limits>> section describing the slink:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits pname:minTexelBufferOffsetAlignment, pname:minUniformBufferOffsetAlignment, and pname:minStorageBufferOffsetAlignment members as both minimums and maximums (public issue 91). * Clarified that only the RGB components should be affected in places where sRGB is referred to in the spec, such as ASTC formats. Minor re-wording to avoid "color space" when actively incorrect, now that we refer to the Data Format Spec which actually makes a distinction between color space and transfer function (public issue 94). * Treat pname:pPropertyCount == 0 consistently in flink:vkEnumerateInstanceLayerProperties and flink:vkEnumerateDeviceLayerProperties (public issue 99) * Cleanup minor editorial issues in chapters 14-17 (public issue 100). * Clarify definition of flink:vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties and flink:vkEnumerateDeviceExtensionProperties (public issue 101). * Define the flink:vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties and flink:vkEnumerateDeviceExtensionProperties pname:pLayerName parameter to be a pointer to a null-terminated UTF-8 string (public issue 101). * Rearrange "Missing information" references in mandatory format tables (public issue 101). * Clarify that the enumerated extensions returned by flink:vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties and flink:vkEnumerateDeviceExtensionProperties will only include extensions provided by the platform or extensions implemented in implicitly enabled layers (public issue 101). * Miscellaneous editorial fixes. Include the Vulkan spec patch number in the PDF title. Fix label on <<fig-non-strict-lines,Non strict lines>> diagram. Use more easily distinguished symbols in tables in the <<features-required-format-support,Required Format Support>> section. Don't require FQDNs used as layer names be encoded in lower case if not possible, in the <<extensions-naming-conventions, Extension and Layer Naming Conventions>> section (public issues 101, 119, 121). Internal Issues: * Fixed excessive spacing in tables in XHTML (internal issue 18). * Clarify that ename:VK_COMMAND_BUFFER_USAGE_ONE_TIME_SUBMIT_BIT applies to secondary command buffers. Previously spec only referred to the members of pname:pCommandBuffers being affected by this bit. Added a separate slink:VkSubmitInfo Valid Usage restriction specifying that ename:VK_COMMAND_BUFFER_USAGE_ONE_TIME_SUBMIT_BIT also applies to any secondary command buffers that are recorded into the primary command buffers in pname:pCommandBuffers (internal issue 106). * Clarify that slink:VkDeviceCreateInfo::pname:pEnabledFeatures can be NULL (internal issue 117). * Remove "the value of" where it is redundant (e.g. speaking of an API parameter, struct member, or SPIR-V variable, but not when speaking of color components) (internal issue 175). * Forced patch version to always be 0 in the header. Add a "VK_API_VERSION_<major>_<minor>" macro for people to use to do the right thing. Add a VK_HEADER_VERSION which captures the header release number independent of the spec patch number (internal issue 176). * Correct description of slink:VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo::pname:pName to "a pointer to a null-terminated UTF-8 string" (internal issue #197). Other Commits: * Updated DataFormat spec reference to the new date for revision 5 of that spec. * Fixed KEEP option (to retain LaTeX intermediate files) in the Makefile to be included when edited there, as well as set on the command line. * Reserve and add "VK_IMG_filter_cubic" to the registry, and implement script functionality to add and remove validity from existing functions. Includes schema and readme changes. * Update GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl so push_constants do not have descriptor sets. |

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. |
