statement (pull request 882).

during VUID assignment (internal issue 1382).
* Update the style guide to document the process for reserving new bits in
bitmask types (internal issue 1411).
* Clarify for slink:VkApplicationInfo::pname:apiVersion and in the
<<fundamentals-validusage-versions, Valid Usage for Newer Core
Versions>> section when it is valid for an application to use a certain
version of Vulkan API functionality (for an instance and for a
device/physical device); and when the validation layers must generate an
error (internal issue 1412).

interim fix using `noautovalidity` + handcoded VU replacing those that
should be autogenerated (internal issue 2944 and
https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-ValidationLayers/issues/480).

<<features-limits-maxComputeSharedMemorySize,
pname:maxCompureSharedMemorySize>> feature to state the shared variables
should be packed at least as tightly as std430 (internal issue 1386).
* Fix and clarify various references to image and image view usage in
flink:vkCmdBindShadingRateImageNV, flink:vkCmdBeginRenderPass, and
slink:VkImageStencilUsageCreateInfoEXT (internal issue 1432).
* Require that the slink:VkImage mipmap chain match the Android hardware
buffer mipmap chain for slink:VkMemoryAllocateInfo (internal issue
1479).
* Fix the definition of slink:VkSwapchainCreateInfoKHR valid usage
statement 01778 (Vulkan-ValidationLayers!15)
* Fix descriptions of <<interfaces-builtin-variables-launchid,
code:LaunchIDNV>> and <<interfaces-builtin-variables-launchsize,

parameters (public pull request 742).
* Fix visible markup in registry schema document (public pull request
#745).

description>> and <<shaders-geometry-execution, Geometry Shader
Execution>> descriptions consistent with other pipeline stages (internal
issue 1325).
* Mark the `VK_NV_glsl_shader` extension as deprecated.
* Adjust the per-instance vertex attribute offset formula specified by
`VK_EXT_vertex_attribute_divisor` for
slink:VkVertexInputBindingDivisorDescriptionEXT so that the interaction
between pname:firstInstance and pname:divisor matches the OpenGL
convention (internal issue 1333).
* Update release number to 79.
Public Issues:
* Add a note to the <<features-required-format-support, Required Format
Support>> section clarifying that the required formats don't depend on
the used flags (public issue 671).
* Add a valid usage statement for flink:vkUpdateDescriptors that was
previously described for slink:VkImageSubresourceRange, but not as a
valid usage statement (public issue 713).

0' for a parameter that is a pointer to a flags field, such as

definition of "`promoted`" in the <<glossary, Glossary>> (internal issue

undefined) to the <<textures-output-format-conversion]] Texel Output
Format Conversion>> section. Simplify and clarify the floating-point
conversion language in the <<fundamentals-general, General
Requirements>> section and the new <<fundamentals-fp-conversion,
Floating-Point Format Conversions>> section, and remove obsolete
language in the format-specific floating-point sections (internal issue
1275).
* Add the elink:VkVendorId enumerated type to the Vulkan API / XML /
header, so reserved Khronos vendor IDs can be referred to symbolically
by clients. Note that only Khronos vendor IDs (e.g. non-PCI vendor IDs)
are defined (internal issue 1299).
* Fix typo in the <<fig-non-strict-lines, Non strict lines>> table
(internal issue 1315).
* Clean up and simplify the
<<features-formats-requiring-sampler-ycbcr-conversion, YCbCr format
properties>> table and use symbols consistently with other tables. Add a
column for the number of planes.
* Add code:Float16 to the <<spirvenv-capabilities-table, List of optional
SPIR-V capabilities>> for the `VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float` extension.
