279452463a Change log for November 12, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.92 spec update:
* Update release number to 92.

Public Issues:

  * Move and modify valid usage statements dealing with pname:aspectMask in
    flink:vkCmdClearColorImage, flink:vkCmdClearDepthStencilImage, and
    slink:VkClearAttachment, so they are in places where all necessary
    information is available (public issue 529).
  * Fix math markup in <<textures-texel-anisotropic-filtering, Texel
    Anisotropic Filtering>> (public pull request 840).
  * Fix misspellings (public pull request 845).

Internal Issues:

  * Add installation instructions and a Makefile "`chunked`" target for
    chunked HTML generation (internal issue 1352).
  * Fix pipeline mesh diagram style; also fix a minor bug in the classic
    pipeline diagram where vertex/index buffers wrongly fed into the vertex
    shader (internal issue 1436).
  * Make asciidoctor ERROR output raise an error, and don't suppress
    executed command output from CI make invocation (internal issue 1454).
  * Minor typo fixes and clarifications for `VK_NV_raytracing`.
  * Cleanup extension-specific properties
  ** Remove duplicated documentation for pname:maxDiscardRectangles,
     pname:pointClippingBehavior, and pname:maxVertexAttribDivisor (they
     shouldn't be documented with the other members of
     slink:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits at all).
  ** Remove duplicate anchor for pname:maxVertexAttribDivisor
  ** Consistently document stext:VkPhysicalDevice<Extension>PropertiesKHR
  *** Always document pname:sType/pname:pNext (was inconsistent before)
  *** Always mention chaining to slink:VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2 (and not
      as slink:VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2KHR)
  *** Always include Valid Usage statements last
  * Update Makefile 'checklinks' target and associated scripts, and fix
    markup problems identified by checkLinks.py, so that we can rely on the
    checklinks script as part of Gitlab CI.

e665b9e691 Change log for May 16, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.75 spec update:
* Update release number to 75.

Github Issues:

  * Use Github handles (e.g. @handle) for contact information in vk.xml,
    when available (partial fix for public issue 630).
  * Add size invariance guarantee to slink:VkMemoryRequirements for
    buffer/image memory requirements (public issue 661).
  * Correct scope (conditional constructs) in valid usage statement for
    slink:VkBindImageMemoryInfo (public pull request 684).
  * Clean up minor markup issues and typos in the
    `VK_ANDROID_external_memory_android_hardware_buffer` extension appendix
    (public pull request 698).
  * Modify registry processing script to avoid irrelevant warnings of benign
    enumerant redefinitions (public pull request 705).
  * Fix some duplicate words and some misspelled "`stagess`" (public pull
    request 712)

Internal Issues:

  * Enable continuous integration tests on the internal Khronos gitlab
    server by adding a .gitlab-ci.yml file. Note: this does not implement CI
    on the public Github repository (internal issue 408).
  * Add link from description of depth clamping in the <<fragops-depth,
    depth test>> section to the
    slink:VkPipelineRasterizationStateCreateInfo::pname:depthClampEnable
    parameter which enables it, making it easily searchable / findable
    (internal issue 1125).
  * Clarify that arrays of arrays of descriptors are not allowed in the
    <<interfaces-resources-descset, Descriptor Set Interface>> and
    <<interfaces-resources-setandbinding, DescriptorSet and Binding
    Assignment>> sections (internal issue 1192).
  * Comment out some redundant nested asciidoctor conditionals in the
    slink:VkImageViewCreateInfo valid usage block, and explain in all cases
    why the redundant conditional exist and are commented out (internal
    issue 1231).
  * Move a valid usage statement from slink:VkCommandPoolCreateInfo to the
    parent flink:vkCreateCommandPool, where the device queue is known
    (internal issue 1233).
  * Add new slink:VkBaseInStructure and slink:VkBaseOutStructure types which
    can be used by extensions and implementations for handling Vulkan
    sType/pNext style structures in a more generic way (internal issue
    1265).
  * Clarify that
    slink:VkAndroidHardwareBufferFormatPropertiesANDROID::pname:formatFeatures
    only applies to external-format images. Add references to this in valid
    usage statements that previously only referred to
    slink:VkFormatProperties (internal issue 1244).
  * Fix the description of elink:VkPipelineCreateFlagBits enumerant
    ename:VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_VIEW_INDEX_FROM_DEVICE_INDEX_BIT to match the
    name (internal issue 1279).
  * Add a NOTE to the <<interfaces-resources-setandbinding, DescriptorSet
    and Binding Assignment>> section making it clear that variables sharing
    a storage class may use identical descriptor set and bindings.
    Specifically state the sometimes misunderstood ability to have one or
    more differently typed image descriptors sharing a descriptor set and
    binding (internal SPIR-V issue 264).
  * Make DynamicIndexing features and capabilities also control the
    uniformity of the descriptor used in memory access instructions in the
    <<interfaces-resources-descset, Descriptor Set Interface>> section. This
    makes them also apply to variable_pointer usage, which can bypass the
    array indexing operation (internal SPIR-V issue 289).

Other Issues:

  * Correct flink:vkCmdBlitImage limitations on cubic blits to be 2D only,
    not 3D.
  * Update valid usage statements for slink:VkRenderPassCreateInfo and
    slink:VkInputAttachmentAspectReference.
  * Move YCbCr-related VU statements from slink:VkDescriptorImageInfo to
    slink:VkWriteDescriptorSet, where all needed information is known, and
    remove redundant statements.
  * Move SPIR-V restriction that images be of either sampled or storage
    types from the <<interfaces-resources-descset, Descriptor Set
    Interface>> section to the <<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation
    Rules within a Module>> section of the SPIR-V appendix.
