* 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).
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 11 for this
update.
Github Issues:
* Clarify the WSI extension language by switching from the fuzzier
"ownership" language to more-consistent "acquire" language (public
issue 117).
* Clarify that memory barriers apply to all commands in the dependency
chains in the flink:vkGetRenderAreaGranularity command and the
<<synchronization-execution-and-memory-dependencies,Execution And
Memory Dependencies>> section (public issue 132).
* Clarify that a queue family is a set of queues in the
<<fundamentals-execmodel,Execution Model>> section (public issue
166).
* Removed requirement from valid usage language that
VkPresentInfoKHR::waitSemaphoreCount must be greater than 0 (public
issue 171).
* Fix broken internal links, describe structures consistently, use
consistent style for SPIR-V codewords, and tag normative terms that
were missing asciidoc tags (public issue 183 and ancillary
markup/normative language fixes).
* Fix typos for slink:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits member names in
slink:VkImageCreateInfo validity language (public issue 184).
Internal Issues:
* Document that the requested patch version number specified as part
of slink:VkApplicationInfo::pname:apiVersion is ignored when
creating an instance (internal issue 176).
* Clarify handling of extension structs in the
<<fundamentals-validusageValid Usage>> section (internal issue 254).
* Update required slink:VkImageFormatProperties::pname:maxMipLevels to
be limited to the maximum allowed mipmap pyramid size corresponding
to the actual maximum supported size for the format (internal issue
256).
* Modify the <<features-extentperimagetype,Allowed Extent Values Based
On Image Type>> section so the allowed maximum extent is the maximum
image dimension supported for each dimension of the type of texture
being queried (internal issue 257).
* Clarify in the <<spirvenv-module-validation,Validation Rules within
a Module>> section that at least one of the code:LocalSize execution
mode or code:WorkgroupSize decoration is required for each compute
shader entry point in a shader module (internal issue 279).
* Add validity rules for formats in flink:vkCmdClearColorImage and
flink:vkCmdClearDepthStencilImage (internal issue 283).
* Clarify that slink:VkImageFormatProperties::pname:maxResourceSize is
an upper bound, and that it may not be possible to create an image
anywhere near that size (internal issue 284).
Other Commits:
* Fix various minor markup errors reported by validation scripts.
* Change copyright from Khronos Free Use License to Apache 2.0 license
on relevant script/XML/header files. This does not affect the
specification source copyright.
