Jon Leech	0cc6bba634	Change log for September 15, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.61 spec update: ... * Bump API patch number and header version number to 61 for this update. Github Issues: * Provide alternate length attributes (altlen=) in the XML schema, for those using length attributes to generate code instead of documentation (public issue 555). * Fix erroneous references to `latex:` being used for asciidoc math markup, rather than `latexmath:` (public pull request 556). * Add author ID to XML for Kazan software renderer (public pull request 557). Internal Issues: * Add the <<fundamentals-abi,Application Binary Interface>> section describing platform ABI requirements and recommendations, add examples of function and function pointer declarations to the <<boilerplate-platform-specific-calling-conventions, Platform-Specific Calling Conventions>> section, and remove related language that existed elsewhere in the specification (internal issue 64). * Describe where to document valid usage interactions of chained structures in the style guide, and fix one case now appearing in slink:VkBufferCreateInfo instead of the child slink:VkDedicatedAllocationBufferCreateInfoNV structure (internal issue 715). * Add example to the style guide of describing enumerated types which are empty when the spec is built without relevant extensions enabled, and apply it to existing examples for elink:VkDescriptorSetLayoutCreateFlagBits and elink:VkSubpassDescriptionFlagBits (internal issue 864). * Add a note to the <<fundamentals-validusage-enums, Valid Usage for Enumerated Types>> section that the special values suffixed with etext:_BEGIN_RANGE, etext:_END_RANGE, etext:_RANGE_SIZE and etext:_MAX_ENUM are not part of the API and should: not be used by applications (internal issue 872). * Added note to flink:vkCmdUpdateBuffers explaining the performance penalty for copies done in this way, and why the upper copy limit is what it is (internal issue 952). * Update `VK_KHX_device_group` to split some functionality into the new `VK_KHR_bind_memory2` extension, and rename that functionality (internal issue 969). * Remove *Status* fields from extension appendices, since they are by definition published and complete by the time they reach the public github repository (internal issue 973). Other Issues: * Update Data Format specification dependency to version 1.2 and change references to DF sections accordingly. * Update XML to make the pname:pAllocator parameter of flink:vkRegisterDeviceEventEXT and flink:vkRegisterDisplayEventEXT in the `VK_EXT_display_control` extension as optional. New Extensions: * `VK_KHR_bind_memory2` * `VK_KHR_image_format_list` * `VK_KHR_maintenance2` * `VK_KHR_sampler_ycbcr_conversion`	2017-09-14 22:41:33 -07:00
Jon Leech	df88ded281	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`	2017-09-04 03:06:55 -07:00
Jon Leech	dbfd1b68c4	Change log for July 13, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.54 spec update: ... * Bump API patch number and header version number to 54 for this update. Github Issues: Internal Issues: * Fix tessellation domain to have an upper-left origin in the <<img-tessellation-topology-ul, tessellation toplogy image>> and related language. CTS and all implementations were already doing this, it was just a documentation bug that it was flipped to lower-left (internal issue 603). * Add a section to the style guide describing how VUID tags are changed and removed when the corresponding Valid Usage statements are modified (internal issue 829). * Add explicit Valid Usage statement to slink:VkPipelineDynamicStateCreateInfo to require that members of pname:pDynamicStates must be unique (internal issue 851). New Extensions: * `VK_KHR_16bit_storage` * `VK_KHR_dedicated_allocation` * `VK_KHR_external_fence` * `VK_KHR_external_fence_capabilities` * `VK_KHR_external_fence_fd` * `VK_KHR_external_fence_win32` * `VK_KHR_get_memory_requirements2` * `VK_KHR_storage_buffer_storage_class` * `VK_KHR_variable_pointers` Extensions Promoted From KHX To KHR Status: * `VK_KHR_external_memory` * `VK_KHR_external_memory_capabilities` * `VK_KHR_external_memory_fd` * `VK_KHR_external_memory_win32` * `VK_KHR_external_semaphore` * `VK_KHR_external_semaphore_capabilities` * `VK_KHR_external_semaphore_fd` * `VK_KHR_external_semaphore_win32` * `VK_KHR_win32_keyed_mutex`	2017-07-11 17:57:41 -07:00
