685295031d Change log for May 12, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.49 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 49 for this update.

Github Issues:

  * Modify reference page extraction script to make internal links to spec
    anchors refer to the core specification instead of being dangling links
    (public issue 455).
  * Fix GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl typo and add a nor-normative mapping to the newly
    published StorageBuffer class (public issue 466).
  * Both flink:vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties and
    flink:vkEnumerateDeviceExtensionProperties return
    ename:VK_ERROR_LAYER_NOT_PRESENT, which covers the error case of an
    application providing a layer name that wasn't returned by
    ftext:vkEnumerate{Instance|Device}LayerProperties (public issue 487).
  * The specification for flink:VkApplicationInfo::apiVersion says that the
    driver must return ename:VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER in the case that
    pname:apiVersion specifies a non-supported version. That means that the
    valid usage should not also state that, and so the VU statement is
    removed. The VU had language about "`an effective substitute`" that
    would have been lost, and so it was moved to the pname:apiVersion
    description (public issue 488).

Internal Issues:

  * Modify implicit validity generator script to assign asciidoc anchors to
    all valid usage statements it generates, and reflow.py script to insert
    Valid Usage ID (VUID) tags into the specification source files for
    explicit valid usage statements. This has no semantic effects on the
    specification, but will support the validation layer's detection of
    valid usage violations and allow it to link into the corresponding part
    of the specification (internal issue 583).
  * Assign VUID tags to all explicit VU statements and document
    the process and tag format in the style guide (internal issue 583).
  * Clarify the rules of whether to structure new functionality as instance
    extensions, device extensions, or both in the
    <<extended-functionality-instance-extensions-and-devices, Instance
    Extensions and Device Extensions>> section (internal issue 749).
  * Require that SPIR-V run-time arrays are only used with the
    code:BufferBlock decoration (internal issue 750).
  * Fix implicit and explicit valid usage statements for
    slink:VkWriteDescriptorSet::pname:dstSet (internal issue 767)
  * Fix SPIR-V code sample for ename:VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_UNIFORM_TEXEL_BUFFER
    in the <<descriptorsets-uniformtexelbuffer, Uniform Texel Buffer>>
    section (internal issue 770).
  * Clarify that disabling depth testing also disables depth writes in the
    <<fragops-ds-state, Depth and Stencil Operations>> section (internal
    issue 775).
  * flink:VkDescriptorImageInfo::pname:imageLayout must match the actual
    imageLayout at the time the image is accessed. This was in the spec
    text, but needed an associated valid usage statement.
  * Note that only 32-bit atomic operations are supported in the
    <<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a Module>>
    section.
  * Note that code:UniformConstant variables must not have initializers in
    the <<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a Module>>
    section.
  * Add a new elink:VkObjectType enumeration to the core API, promoted from
    elink:VkDebugObjectTypeEXT, since it is used for much more than just the
    debug_report extension.

New Extensions:

  * `VK_KHR_get_surface_capabilities2`
  * `VK_KHR_shared_presentable_image`

* Bump API patch number and header version number to 44 for this update.

Github Issues:

  * Fix description of <<features-extentperimagetype, Allowed Extent Values
    Based On Image Type>> (public issue 290).
  * Better specify VK_DEVICE_LOST behavior around flink:vkQueueSubmit,
    flink:vkWaitForFences, and flink:vkGetFenceStatus (public issue 423).
  * Clarify definition of flink:vkGetQueryPoolResults::pname:queryCount
    (public issue 441).
  * Simplify and clean up normative language. Remove shall and replace
    recommend and variants with should wherever possible (public issue 448).
  * Fix all dangling internal cross-references in the 1.0-extensions
    specification, and add scripts/checkXrefs to find these in the future
    (public issue 456).
  * Reverse order of ChangeLog.txt entries so the most recent version is
    documented first (public issue 463)
  * Removes "become invalid" which clashes with invalid state for command
    buffers. (public issue 467)
  * Disallowed pending state in spec text for vkResetCommandBuffer, matching
    valid usage (public issue 468)
  * Removes sentence describing invalid state "like initial state". (public
    issue 469)
  * Disallows begin command buffer from resetting command buffers in the
    "recording" state. (public issue 470)
  * Removes mention of state from description of
    VK_COMMAND_POOL_CREATE_RESET_COMMAND_BUFFER_BIT (public issue 471)

    etext:VK_IMAGE_VIEW_TYPE.
  * Removed the <<VK_KHR_display>> and <<VK_KHR_display_swapchain>> example
    code from the specification and noted it has been moved to the Vulkan
    SDK cube demo (internal issue 179).
  * Reorder VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagBitsNV description (internal issue
    480).
  * Clarify than an implementation is
    <<fundamentals-validusage-flags,permitted to return 'undefined' bit
    flags>> in a bitfield (internal issue 640).
  * Break Valid Usage statements describing unrelated parameters into
    separate statements, and add a style guide entry to follow this approach
    (internal issue 685).
  * Move valid usage statement for slink:VkImageCreateInfo from spec body to
    the explicit valid usage block (internal issue 693).
  * Fix typos in the descriptions of slink:VkDisplaySurfaceCreateInfoKHR,
    flink:vkCreateDisplayModeKHR, and
    flink:vkGetDisplayPlaneSupportedDisplaysKHR in the <<display,Presenting
    Directly to Display Devices>> section (internal issue 698, 704, 716).
  * Clarified that mandatory depth/stencil formats are only a requirement
    for 2D images (internal issue 719).
  * Clarify that variables decorated with DeviceIndex/ViewIndex must be in
    the Input storage class (internal issue 733).
  * Work around generator script problem with removal of Unicode literals
    from Python 3.0-3.2 using `future` package (internal issue 737).
  * Remove nonexistent structure type enums from vk.xml (internal issue
    738).
  * Fix validextensionstructs attributes for structures in the pname:pNext
    chain for VkPresentInfoKHR, fixing implicit valid usage statements for
    those structures (internal issue 740).

e29a51b231 Change log for February 17, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.41 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 41 for this update.

Github Issues:

  * Made all uses of `NULL` vs. code:VK_NULL_HANDLE consistent (public issue
    276).
  * Clarify render pass compatibility in different usage scenarios (public
    issues 303 and 304).
  * Add valid usage statements to slink:VkFramebufferCreateInfo requiring
    that the width, height, and number of layers of the framebuffer all be
    nonzero (public issue 432).
  * Allow `offset` and `align` in any GLSL version for the
    `GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl` extension (public issue 435).
  * Specify lifetime of string objects passed to the
    tlink:PFN_vkDebugReportCallbackEXT user callback in the
    +VK_EXT_debug_report+ extension (public issue 446).
  * Fix inter-page links in multi-file reference pages (public issue 454).

Internal Issues:

  * Update valid usage language for slink:VkImageCreateInfo to disallow
    creating images that have ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_TRANSIENT_ATTACHMENT_BIT
    set without other attachment usage bits
    (ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_INPUT_ATTACHMENT_BIT,
    ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_COLOR_ATTACHMENT_BIT, or
    ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT_BIT) (internal issue 540).
  * Disable `VK_EXT_swapchain_colorspace` extension until internal issues
    640 and 661 are mutually resolved.
  * Allow alternative mipmap level selection when [eq]#lambda == 0.5# during
    texture <<textures-image-level-selection,Image Level(s) Selection>>
    (internal issue 680).

Other Issues:

  * Add a clarification to the style guide that the extension revision
    number is treated as a patch number, so that changes to published
    extensions should only include bug fixes and spec clarifications.

* Bump API patch number and header version number to 37 for this update.

Github Issues:

  * Add usability guarantees on the values returned by
    flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR in the
    slink:VkSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR structure and by
    flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceFormatsKHR in the
    pname:pSurfaceFormatCount parameter (public issue 385).
  * Add elink:VkDebugReportObjectTypeEXT enumerants for new object types
    introduced by new extensions (public issue 408).
  * Add +VK_NVX_device_generated_commands+ etext:ACCESS bits and define how
    they are used (public issue 415).
  * Fix indentation for slink:VkDebugReportCallbackCreateInfoEXT member
    descriptions (public issue 419).

Internal Issues:

  * Expand requirements memory binding of non-sparse images and buffers from
    the <<resources-association,Resource Memory Association>> section into
    valid usage statements for all of the applicable API calls (internal
    issue 508).
  * Explicitly state that valid usage of flink:vkCreateImage requires that
    flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties would return
    ename:VK_SUCCESS for the requested image configuration (internal issue
    598).

7cba8f5d99 Change log for December 1, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.36 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 36 for this update.

Github Issues:

  * Fix "recorded with" terminology in the valid usage language for the
    flink:vkCmdExecuteCommands::pname:pCommandBuffers parameter (public
    issue 390).
  * Modify +genvk.py+ to support specifying extensions to remove from output
    generators, allowing the extension loader +vulkan_ext.c+ to be created
    without WSI extensions which are statically exported by the Vulkan
    loader (public issue 412).
  * Added validation language for slink:VkSubpassDependency and in the
    <<synchronization-access-types-supported,supported access types>>
    section to catch access masks that include bits which are not supported
    by pipeline stages in the stage masks (partially addresses public issue
    1006).

Internal Issues:

  * Added validation language for flink:vkCmdWaitEvents,
    flink:vkQueueSubmit, flink:VkRenderPassCreateInfo, and in the
    <<synchronization-pipeline-stages-supported>> section to prevent
    recording stage dependencies that aren't supported on the queue
    (internal issue 516).
  * Make a few changes that generalize spec language for use with possible
    future extensions by adding glossary terms and generalizing ``feature''
    to ``feature or extension'' where relevant (internal issues 448, 590).
  * Added "pipeline type" attribute to +vk.xml+ for relevant commands and
    utilize it in automatic generation of the Command Properties table
    (internal issue 517).
  * Specify that WSI implementations must provide both UNORM and sRGB
    formats in the description of slink:VkColorSpaceKHR (internal issue
    529).
  * Remove nesting of explicit valid usage statements where it is not
    meaningful (internal issue 583).

Other Issues:

  * Add validity language requiring that
    slink:VkPushConstantRange::pname:offset be a multiple of 4, as stated in
    the spec language.

789549ff08 Change log for November 25, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.35 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 35 for this update.

Github Issues:

  * Document in the <<memory-device-hostaccess,Host Access>> section that
    mapping and unmapping does not invalidate or flush the mapped memory
    (public issues 27, 126).
  * Redefine the entire <<synchronization>> chapter in terms of consistent
    and well defined terminology, that's called out at the start of the
    chapter. This terminology is applied equally to all synchronization
    types, including subpass dependencies, submissions, and much of the
    implicit ordering stuff dotted around the spec. Key terms are laid out
    in the <<synchronization-dependencies,Execution and Memory
    Dependencies>> section at the top of the rewritten chapter (public
    issues 128, 131, 132, 217, 299, 300, 302, 306, 322, 346, 347, 371, 407).
  * Specify order of submission for batches in the
    <<vkQueueSubmit,vkQueueSubmit>> and
    <<vkQueueBindSparse,vkQueueBindSparse>> commands (public issue 371).
  * Add valid usage statements to each of the WSI extension sections
    indicating that the WSI-specific structure parameters must be valid, and
    remove automatically generated valid usage statements now covered by the
    manual sections (public issue 383).
  * Clarify render pass compatibility for flink:vkCmdExecuteCommands (public
    issue 390).

Internal Issues:

  * Update +vk.xml+ to make previously explicit valid usage statements for
    <<vkDebugReportMessageEXT,vkDebugReportMessageEXT>> implicit instead
    (internal issue 553).
  * Add valid usage statement for slink:VkCreateImageInfo preventing
    creation of 1D sparse images (internal issue 573).
  * Fix Python scripts to always read/write files in utf-8 encoding, and a
    logic error in reflib.py which could cause a fatal error for
    malstructured asciidoc (internal issues 578, 586).
