59750fe4c7 Change log for August 25, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.121 spec update:
* Update release number to 121.

Github Issues:

  * Add missing `structextends` attribute in `vk.xml` for
    slink:VkPhysicalDevicePipelineExecutablePropertiesFeaturesKHR (public
    issue 1018).
  * Change attributes of flink:vkCmdCopyAccelerationStructureNV,
    flink:vkCmdWriteAccelerationStructuresPropertiesNV,
    flink:vkCmdBuildAccelerationStructureNV, and flink:vkCmdTraceRaysNV to
    require that these commands execute outside renderpasses (public issue
    1021).
  * Add an issue to the `<<VK_EXT_buffer_device_address>>` appendix
    discussing the introduction of new names and aliasing by equivalent old
    names (public pull request 1024).

Internal Issues:

  * Protect the `VK_KHR_sampler_mirror_clamp_to_edge` extension with
    asciidoctor conditionals, and remove it from the core-only specification
    builds, where it had previously been force-included in the Makefile. It
    is now treated like any other extension (internal issue 1776).
  * Edit some asciidoctor anchor names starting with `features-features-` to
    just start with `features-`, since the old chapters was split into 3
    pieces. There are still some mild naming inconsistencies with anchors
    which may be addressed in the future (internal issue 1792).
  * Add `KHR` alias for the non-suffixed extension token
    ename:VK_SAMPLER_ADDRESS_MODE_MIRROR_CLAMP_TO_EDGE, for compatibility
    with naming rules for extensions (internal issue 1796).
  * Clarify requirements for external memory in NOTEs for
    sname:VkExternalMemoryBufferCreateInfo, and valid usage statements for
    flink:vkBindBufferMemory, slink:VkBindBufferMemoryInfo,
    flink:vkBindImageMemory, and slink:VkBindImageMemoryInfo (internal merge
    request 3301).
  * Make extension version numbers in `vk.xml` and extension appendices
    consistent. In a few cases, we could not recover history at this
    granularity, and left the summary of a version's change undefined
    (internal merge request 3323).
  * Fix invocation of `CodeInlineMacro` in the Ruby extension backing the
    `code:` macro, which was delegating to the wrong base class (internal
    merge request 3331).
  * Modify `reg.py` to do a better job of recognizing equivalent <enum>
    definitions.
  * Add a `sortorder` attribute to XML feature and extension tags.

New Extensions

  * `<<VK_AMD_device_coherent_memory>>`

521e98405f Change log for August 17, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.120 spec update:
* 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 99.

Public Issues:

  * Add missing pname:pMemoryHostPointerProperties description to
    flink:vkGetMemoryHostPointerPropertiesEXT.txt (public pull request 896).
  * Minor markup fixes (public pull request 900).
  * Minor update to `khronos.css` and markup fixes (originally proposed in
    public pull request 901, but done via an internal MR).

Internal Issues:

  * Document restrictions on image queries for Y'CbCr formats in the
    <<features-formats-requiring-sampler-ycbcr-conversion>> table as well as
    for slink:sname:VkImageFormatProperties and slink:VkImageCreateInfo
    (internal issue 1361).
  * Correct type of the code:FragSizeEXT built-in in the
    <<interfaces-builtin-variables, Built-In Variables>> section (internal
    issue 1526).
  * Clean up math in the <<textures, Image Operations>> chapter by
    refactoring, using better naming conventions, updating diagrams to use
    the correct orientation, etc. (internal merge request 2968).
  * Fix minor typos for slink:VkImageCreateInfo and
    slink:VkImageStencilUsageCreateInfoEXT.
  * Add missing documentation for tlink:VkResolveModeFlagsKHR.
  * Fix extension dependency of pname:scalarBlockLayout in the
    <<features-features-requirements, Feature Requirements>> section.
  * Fix indexing math for shader binding table calculations in the
    <<shader-binding-table-indexing-rules, Indexing Rules>> section, and use
    spelling "`any-hit`" consistently.
  * Reconcile valid usage statement and text for sampled image layouts in
    slink:VkWriteDescriptorSet
    (https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-ValidationLayers/issues/551).
  * Make SPIR-V code:OpConvertUToPtr and code:OpConvertPtrToU operations
    require a 64-bit integer for physical storage buffer pointers in the
    <<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a Module>>
    section.
  * Update to KaTeX 10.0.

New Extensions:

  * `VK_EXT_filter_cubic`

f1a7c4b4f3 Change log for January 13, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.98 spec update:
* Update release number to 98.

Public Issues:

  * Fix missing markup in flink:vkDestroyPipelineLayout valid usage
    statement (pull request 882).
  * Add missing contributors for `<<VK_EXT_buffer_device_address>>` (public
    pull request 891).

Internal Issues:

  * Detect nested bullet points in valid usage blocks and warn about them
    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).
  * Add optional <<memory-model-availability-visibility, transitive
    availability/visibility operations to the memory model, including a new
    pname:vulkanMemoryModelAvailabilityVisibilityChains feature for
    slink:VkPhysicalDeviceVulkanMemoryModelFeaturesKHR (internal issue
    1460).
  * Add the code:StorageBuffer storage class to those in the
    <<interfaces-resources-descset, Descriptor Set Interface>> (internal
    issue 1480).
  * Add missing `returnedonly` tags for a number of returned extension
    structures that can be passed in pname:pNext chains (internal issue
    1515).
  * Clean up and rearrange some spec language for
    slink:VkRenderPassCreateInfo and slink:VkAttachmentReference.txt
    (internal issue 1522).
  * Correctly round the code:OpVectorTimesScalar and
    code:OpMatrixTimesScalar SPIR-V operations in the <<Precision of core
    SPIR-V Instructions>> table (internal merge request 2996).
  * Work around cases in flink:vkCmdBeginTransformFeedbackEXT,
    flink:vkCmdEndTransformFeedbackEXT, and
    slink:VkPipelineCoverageModulationStateCreateInfoNV where an array
    parameter is `optional` but the length is not in `vk.xml`. This is an
    interim fix using `noautovalidity` + handcoded VU replacing those that
    should be autogenerated (internal issue 2944 and
    https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-ValidationLayers/issues/480).
  * Remove redundant capability validation of the code:float16 and code:int8
    SPIR-V capabilities from the <<spirvenv-capabilities, Capabilities>>
    section, since they are already covered in the preceding table.
  * Update check_spec_links script, including validation for reference page
    open blocks. Fix errors identified by the script.

* 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`

894211de5f (The previous commit didn't actually include internal gitlab changes
since 1.1.89; fixed now).

Change log for October 28, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.90 spec update:

  * Update release number to 90.

Public Issues:

  * Tag flink:vkQueueWaitIdle as `externsync` in `vk.xml` (public pull
    request 815).
  * Update README (public pull request 834).
  * `VK_NV_framebuffer_mixed_samples` and `VK_AMD_mixed_attachment_samples`
    had confusing and contradictory valid usage statements when read in the
    all-extensions spec build. Change them to explicitly mention which
    extension each is for (public issue Vulkan-ValidationLayers/issues/353).

Internal Issues:

  * Update `COPYING.md` to clarify how externally generated Vulkan
    Specifications (for translations, annotations, or other reasons) must be
    copyrighted, and acknowledge the Exception Clause on the `vk.xml`
    license (internal issue 1079).
  * Specify that flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties may: return
    pname:maxMipLevels 1 if the format is ycbcr (internal issue 1361).
  * Clarify previously underspecified language for
    flink:vkCmdPushConstants::pname:pStageFlags regarding use of push
    constants across multiple pipelines (internal issue 1403).
  * Fix typo in XML/headers for
    ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_IMAGE_DRM_FORMAT_MODIFIER_EXPLICIT_CREATE_INFO_EXT,
    which was previously
    etext:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_IMAGE_EXCPLICIT_DRM_FORMAT_MODIFIER_CREATE_INFO_EXT
    (internal issue 1428).
  * Fix markup of equations that were sporadically breaking the
    `optimize-pdf` step of PDF generation, due (apparently) to inconsistent
    treatment of unwrapped multicharacter terms by different LaTeX parsers
    (internal issue 1435).
  * For the <<memory-model-synchronizes-with synchronizes-with>> memory
    model relation cases involving a release barrier plus relaxed atomic
    write, treat the atomic as if it were a release atomic and allow the
    acquire side to read from its hypothetical release sequence. This is
    more consistent with how C++ defines synchronization for release fences
    (internal issue cross-api/memory-model#72).
  * Minor editorial changes to the <<memory-model, memory model>> appendix
    based on external feedback.
