* Update release number to 120.
Github Issues:
* Add slink:VkAccelerationStructureTypeNV explicitly to extension XML for
`<<VK_NV_ray_tracing>>` (public issue 848).
* Add missing valid usage statements for feature flags in
slink:VkCommandBufferInheritanceInfo (public pull request 1017).
Internal Issues:
* Clarify behavior of non-premultiplied destination colors for
`<<VK_EXT_blend_operation_advanced>>` prior to the definition of
slink:VkBlendOverlapEXT (internal issue 1766).
* Fix the confusing phrasing "`no other queue must: be (doing something)`"
for flink:vkQueuePresentKHR, flink:vkQueueSubmit, and
flink:vkQueueBindSparse (internal issue 1774).
* Add `<<VK_EXT_validation_features>>` flag to enable best practices
checks, which will soon be available in the validation layer (internal
issue 1779).
* Specify allowed characters for VUID tag name components in the style
guide (internal issue 1788).
* Update links to SPIR-V extension specifications, and parameterize their
markup in case the URLs change in the future (internal issue 1797).
* Fix an off-by-one error in the valid usage statement for
slink:VkPipelineExecutableInfoKHR (internal merge request 3303).
* Clean up markup indentation not matching the style guide (internal merge
request 3314).
* Minor script updates to allow refpage aliases, generate a dynamic TOC
for refpages, generate Apache rewrite rules for aliases, open external
links from refpages in a new window, and synchronize with the OpenCL
scripts. This will shortly enable a paned navigation setup for refpages,
similar to the OpenCL 2.2 refpages (internal merge request 3322).
* Script updates to add tests to the checker, refactor and reformat code,
generate better text for some valid usage statements, use more Pythonic
idioms, and synchronize with the OpenXR scripts (internal merge request
3239).
* Script updates and minor fixes in spec language to not raise checker
errors for refpage markup of pages not existing in the API, such as
VKAPI_NO_STDINT_H. Remove corresponding suppression of some
check_spec_links.py tests from .gitlab-ci.yml and 'allchecks' target
(internal merge request 3315).
* Update release number to 97.
Public Issues:
* Add a special case to the <<renderpass-compatibility, Render Pass
Compatibility>> rules allowing single-subpass renderpasses to be
compatible even if they have different resolve attachment references
(public issue 835).
* Fix the miss shader binding table record address rule in the
<<shader-binding-table-indexing-rules, Miss Shaders>> section to index
by code:missIndex, not code:sbtOffset (public issue 875).
Internal Issues:
* Add a missing anchor to the elink:VkSamplerCreateFlagBits language
(internal issue 1483).
* Add missing implicit valid usage include for slink:VkHdrMetadataEXT and
corresponding `noautovalidity` attributes in `vk.xml` for the
externally-defined metadata properties (internal issue 1514).
* Remove restrictions on the `mask` parameter of SPIR-V's
code:OpGroupNonUniformXor in the <<spirvenv-module-validation,
Validation Rules within a Module>> appendix (internal merge request
2971).
* Restore `noautovalidity` attribute for
slink:VkPipelineViewportWScalingStateCreateInfoNV::pname:pViewportWScalings
in `vk.xml` (internal merge request 2975).
* Update copyright dates on Khronos-copyrighted files to 2019 (internal
merge request 2980).
New Extensions:
* `VK_KHR_depth_stencil_resolve`
* `VK_EXT_buffer_device_address`
* `VK_EXT_memory_budget`
* `VK_EXT_memory_priority`
* `VK_EXT_validation_features`
* Update release number to 77.
Public Issues:
* Remove redundant asciidoctor ifdef in slink:VkDeviceCreateInfo valid
usage statement (public pull request 718).
Internal Issues:
* Require that the returned slink:VkMemoryRequirements::pname:alignment
reflect the minimum alignment requirements for the buffer's usages, and
make dynamic offset alignment valid usage more explicit for
flink:vkBindBufferMemory and flink:vkCmdBindDescriptorSets (internal
issue 1170).
* Explicitly state that objects of type code:OpTypeImage,
code:OpTypeSampler, and code:OpTypeSampledImage must not be stored to in
the <<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a Module>>
section (internal issue 1262).
* Clarify rules about validating descriptor set/binding against storage
class and descriptor type in the <<spirvenv-module-validation,
Validation Rules within a Module>> section, and add an anchor for and
references to the <<interfaces-resources-storage-class-correspondence,
Shader Resource and Storage Class Correspondence>> table (internal issue
1266).
* Use correct spelling of SPIR-V decoration code:NonWritable in several
places (internal issue 1298).
Other Issues:
* Update specification links to files in the old
KhronosGroup/Vulkan-LoaderAndValidationLayers repository with
corresponding links into the new repositories that replace it.
* Move validity requirement for slink:VkSamplerCreateInfo into the valid
usage block instead of the body text, and give it a VUID.
* Use the full name of the "`style guide`" in a reference in the
description of slink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties, update the
<<vulkan-styleguide, link to that document>>, and use the the full name
in the registry index page.
