* Update release number to 83.
Public Issues:
* Use [%inline] directive for all SVGs to reduce file size (public pull
request 734).
* Convert XML `value` aliases into \<alias> tags (public pull request
747).
* Fix metadoc script showing non-selected extensions (public pull request

graphices pipeline (public pull request 749).
* Fix numerous typos related to accidental duplication of words (public
pull request 760).
* Fix `vk.xml` contact typos (public pull request 761).
Internal Issues:
* Add images to the <<Standard sample locations>> table (internal issue
1115).
* Add a definition of "`Inherited from`" precision in the
<<spirvenv-precision-operation, Precision and Operation of SPIR-V
Instructions>> section (internal issue 1314).
* Clarify that both built-in and user-defined variables count against the
location limits for shader interfaces in the
<<interfaces-iointerfaces-locations, Location Assignment>> section
(internal issue 1316).
* Merge "`required`" capabilities into the <<spirvenv-capabilities-table,
list of optional: SPIR-V capabilities>> (internal issue 1320).
* Relax the layout matching rules of descriptors referring to only a
single aspect of a depth/stencil image, by reference to the new
<<resources-image-layouts-matching-rule, Image Layout Matching Rules>>
section (internal issue 1346).
* Revert extension metadoc generator warning about name mismatches to a
diagnostic, due to annoying warnings in build output for conscious
choices we've made (internal issue 1351).
Other Issues:
* Reserve bits for pending vendor extensions.
* Make Vulkan consistent with SPIR-V regarding code:DepthReplacing and
code:FragDepth in the <<interfaces-builtin-variables, Built-In
Variables>> section.

* Update release number to 81.
Public Issues:
* Fix missing "`valid`" phrasing in some obscure cases (public pull
request 605).
* Replace improper use of cannot: referring to the implementation in the
description of the
<<features-limits-maxUpdateAfterBindDescriptorsInAllPools,
pname:maxUpdateAfterBindDescriptorsInAllPools>> limit (public pull
request 738).
* Reorder description of bits in elink:VkPipelineStageFlagBits and the
<<synchronization-pipeline-stages-supported, Supported pipeline stage
flags>> table to match their definition order (public pull request 740).
* Add description of ename:VK_BUFFER_USAGE_CONDITIONAL_RENDERING_BIT_EXT
to elink:VkBufferUsageFlagBits (public pull request 741).
* Fix value usage statement for slink:VkSubpassDependency stage mask
parameters (public pull request 742).
* Fix visible markup in registry schema document (public pull request
#745).
Internal Issues:
* Make the <<geometry-invocations, geometry shader invocation
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).
