* Update release number to 104.
Public Issues:
* Remove the incorrect line from "`Initial`" to "`Invalid`" state in the
<<commandbuffer-lifecycle-diagram, Lifecycle of a command buffer>>
diagram (public issue 881).
* Add Fuchsia platform to <<boilerplate-wsi-header-table, Window System
Extensions and Headers>> table (public pull request 933).
* Change the type of
slink:VkBufferDeviceAddressCreateInfoEXT::pname:deviceAddress from
basetype:VkDeviceSize to basetype:VkDeviceAddress. These are both
typedefs of code:uint64_t, so it is an ABI-compatible change (public
issue 934).
Internal Issues:
* Remove generated header files and update the CI tests to build a copy of
the headers for use by the hpp-generate / hpp-compile CI stages. Targets
to generate the headers will not be removed, but keeping these generated
files in the repository increased the frequency of conflicts between
branches when merging to master (internal issue 745).
* Reword "`undefined: behavior if *action*" to "`must: not do *action*`"
in the places the old terminology was used, and add a new
<<writing-undefined, Describing Undefined Behavior>> section of the
style guide to explain how to write such language in the future
(internal issue 1579).
* Move almost all Python scripts into the toplevel `scripts/` directory.
Apply extensive internal edits to clean up and simplify the scripts, and
try to follow PEP8 guidelines. Generalize the scripts with the use of a
Conventions object controlling many aspects of output generation, to
enable their use in other Khronos projects with similar requirements.
Autogenerate extension interface refpages (these are experimental and
may be retired going forward).

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`
* `VK_NV_dedicated_allocation_image_aliasing`
* 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 87.
Public Issues:
* Merge flink:vkCmdPipelineBarrier self-dependency barrier VUs referring
to the same subpass dependency (public pull request 756).
* Describe default value of `"optional"` attribute in the registry schema
document (public issue 769)
* Fix links in <<VK_NVX_raytracing>> extension (public pull request 805).
* Mark the <<VK_KHR_mir_surface>> extension obsolete (see public issue 814
- does not close this, however).
* Fix missing endif in Image Creation block (public issue 817).
Internal Issues:
* Clarify that the compressed texture formats corresponding to
<<features-features-textureCompressionETC2>>,
<<features-features-textureCompressionASTC_LDR>>, and
<<features-features-textureCompressionBC>> is not contingent on the
feature bits, and may be supported even if the features are not enabled
(internal issue 663).
* Clarify that code:FragStencilRefEXT is output only in the
<<interfaces-builtin-variables, Built-In Variables>> section (internal
issue 1173).
* Identify and correct many overly-aggressive uses of "`undefined`", and
narrow them down, where straightforward to do so. Mark such resolved
uses of "`undefined`" with the custom undefined: macro. Add a new
<<writing-undefined, Describing Undefined Behavior>> section (internal
issue 1267).
* Don't require code:inline_uniform_block descriptors to be populated
before use in the flink:vkAllocateDescriptorSets section (internal issue
1380).
* Allow suppressing inline SVG images by controlling this with an
attribute set in the Makefile, rather than the explicit [%inline]
directive (internal issue 1391).
* Mark 'Khronos' as a registered trademark in several places, now that it
is one.
* Fix typo in the <<VK_KHR_shader_atomic_int64>> appendix using the GLSL
naming of the compare exchange op when referring to the SPIR-V op.
* Specify in the flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceQueueFamilyProperties section
that all implementations must support at least one queue family, and
that every queue family must contain at least one queue.
* Make slink:VkPipelineDynamicStateCreateInfo::pname:dynamicStateCount,
slink:VkSampleLocationsInfoEXT::pname:sampleLocationsPerPixel, and
slink:VkSampleLocationsInfoEXT::pname:sampleLocationsCount optional, to
fix bogus implicit valid usage checks that were causing failures in the
conformance tests.
* Fix vendor tag in reserved extension 237 constants. Does not affect
anything since it's just a placeholder, but this should avoid further
comments.
* Minor markup fixes in some extension appendices.
New Extensions:
* `<<VK_FUCHSIA_imagepipe_surface>>`
* Update release number to 78.
Public Issues:
* Change markup so parameter descriptions include links to structures,
instead of just their names (public issue 697).
* Resume publishing updated Vulkan 1.0 + KHR extensions and Vulkan 1.0 +
all extensions versions of the specification (public issue 722).
* Reapply fixes from public pull request 698 for
`VK_ANDROID_external_memory_android_hardware_buffer`, which accidentally
were reverted at some point (public pull request 724).
* Fix undefined format valid usage statements for slink:VkImageCreateInfo
in the presence of the
`VK_ANDROID_external_memory_android_hardware_buffer` extension (public
pull request 725).
* Miscellaneous markup consistency fixes (public pull request 728).
Internal Issues:
* When building specifications containing vendor extensions, add terms to
the Khronos spec copyright specifying that the result is not a ratified
specification (internal issue 739).
* Change the value of the
pname:maxDescriptorSetUpdateAfterBindUniformBuffers minimum limit to 72
(6 times pname:maxPerStageDescriptorUpdateAfterBindUniformBuffers) in
the <<features-limits-required, Required Limits>> table (internal issue
1300).
Other Issues:
* Fix link to resource image view compatibility table in the valid usage
statements for slink:VkImageFormatListCreateInfoKHR (internal pull
request 2711).
