Change log for September 16, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.27 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 27 for this update. Github Issues: * Weaken flink:vkGetPipelineCacheData invariance conditions; previous conditions were stronger than agreed and can't be guaranteed (public issue 280). * Add link to "Vulkan Loader Specification and Architecture Overview" document to Normative References section (public issue 359). Internal Issues: * Be more clear in the <<interfaces-resources-layout-std140, uniform buffer layout>> section that block offsets can be out of order (internal issue 396). * Document that extension authors should add support for their extensions to the validation layers (internal issue 398). * Clarify that the valid range of depth clear values should be limited to the 0..1 range and that copies to depth aspect must also be in this range (internal issue 412). * Specify ``a'' vs. ``an'' use in the style guide (internal issue 432). * Increase the maximum pname:nonCoherentAtomSize value in the <<features-limits-required,Required Limits>> section from 128 to 256 (internal issue 435). * Fix vk_platform.h for compiler errors on some Android platforms (internal issue 441). * Clarify that slink:VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures::pname:pEnabledFeatures == `NULL` disables all features, including the "required" feature pname:robustBufferAccess (internal issue 479). Other Issues: * Expand style guide and make it more self-consistent. * Use ISO 8601 date format everywhere. * Emphasise the correct way of using slink:VkSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR::pname:maxImageCount. * Added +VK_EXT_validation_flags+ extension for validation flag mechanism. * Fix an <<credits,author credit>> to include their current employer. |

Change log for August 5, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.23 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 23 for this update. Github Issues: * Add explicit valid value attributes to pname:sType members in vk.xml (public issue 34). * Clarify usage of flink:vkGetInstanceProcAddr and flink:vkGetDeviceProcAddr (public issue 225). * Fix a copy-and-paste error in the description of pname:pSwapchainImageCount saying that it was the count of ``format pairs'' instead of ``swapchain images'' (public issue 292). * flink:vkCmdExecuteCommandBuffers requires all command buffers to be allocated from command pools created for the same queue family (public issue 296). * Remove bogus +optional+ attribute for flink:vkEnumerateDeviceLayerProperties::pname:physicalDevice from vk.xml (public issue 301). * Clean up the <<resources-image-views-compatibility,image and image view compatibility table>> reference and contents. Use full enumerant names. Refer to pname:layerCount in the ``view parameters'' column instead of pname:arrayLayers. Require N >= 1 for the cube array subview row, not just arrayLayers >= 6 N (public issue 304). * Modify description of <<resources-memory-aliasing,memory aliasing>> to be consistent with the description of <<resources-bufferimagegranularity,buffer image granularity>> (public issue 307). Internal Issues: * Describe remaining +vk_platform.h+ macros in the <<boilerplate,API Boilerplate>> appendix (internal issue 6). * Clarify <<features-features-robustBufferAccess,pname:robustBufferAccess>> feature behavior; what memory can be accessed, how bounds checking is performed, and allowing for vectorization (internal issue 332). * Document markup for automatic extraction of reference pages from the spec sources in the style guide (internal issue 395). * Allow flink:vkCreateDisplayModeKHR to return ename:VK_ERROR_INITIALIZAION_FAILED_KHR if the user requests mode parameters that the specified display does not support (internal issue 411). * Remove atomic counters (atomic_uint style) from KHR_vulkan_glsl, and more clearly remove the subroutine keyword alongside it (internal issue 421). * Clarify behavior of flink:vkCmdBindDescriptorSets for descriptor sets not contained in the layout (internal issue 427). Other Commits: * Change the order in which members of sname:VkAttachmentDescription and sname:VkPipelineInputAssemblyStateCreateInfo are described to match their order in the structures. |

Change log for July 22, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.22 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 22 for this update. Github Issues: * Translate the subpass self-dependency language into concrete validity statements, and added a validity statement about the restrictions on layout parameters (public issue 267). * Add validity requirement that slink:VkAttachmentDescription::pname:finalLayout and slink:VkAttachmentReference::pname:layout must not be ename:VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_UNDEFINED or ename:VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_PREINITIALIZED (public issue 268). * Clarify that slink:VkSubpassDescription::pname:pResolveAttachments layouts are used. Make language consistent with other attachment arrays (public issue 270). * Changed 64-bit definition for dname:VK_DEFINE_NON_DISPATCHABLE_HANDLE to work for x32 platform in +vk.xml+ and the resulting +vulkan.h+ (public issue 282). * Add missing error return code for flink:vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties and flink:vkEnumerateDeviceExtensionProperties (public issue 285) * Fix several cases of stext::VkStructName.memberName markup to stext::VkStructName::pname:memberName, to match other usage in the spec, and describe this markup in the style guide (public issue 286). * Modified validity language generation script to avoid redundant common ancestor language if covered by generic parent language, and used `Both' instead of `Each' when appropriate (public issue 288). Internal Issues: * Add language about behavior of flink:vkAllocateDescriptorSets when allocation fails due to fragmentation, a new error ename:VK_ERROR_FRAGMENTED_POOL, and a Note explaining the situation (internal issue 309). * For the features of code:PointSize, code:ClipDistance, and code:CullDistance, the SPIR-V capability is required to be declared on use (read or write) rather than on decoration (internal issue 359). * Have desktop versions of GLSL respect precision qualification (code:mediump and code:lowp) when compiling for Vulkan. These will get translated to SPIR-V's code:RelaxedPrecision decoration as they do with OpenGL ES versions of GLSL (ESSL). The default precision of all types is code:highp when using a desktop version (internal issue 360). * Add validity statement for slink:VkImageCreateInfo specifying that multisampled images must be two-dimensional, optimally tiled, and with a single mipmap level (internal issue 369). * Add validity statements to slink:VkImageViewCreateInfo disallowing creation of images or image views with no supported features. Made some slink:VkImageViewCreateInfo validity statements more precise and consistent. Added a Note to the <<features,features>> chapter about formats with no features (internal issue 371). * Remove +manpages+ from default build targets. Nroff outputs containing imbedded latexmath will not render properly. Fixing this is a lot of work for limited use cases (internal issue 401). Other Commits: * Fix flink:vkRenderPassBeginInfo::pname:clearValueCount validity statement to be based on attachment indices rather than the number of cleared attachments (Vulkan-LoaderAndValidationLayers/issues/601). * Convert registry documentation from LaTeX to asciidoc source and rename from +src/spec/readme.tex+ to +src/spec/registry.txt+. * Fix lack of Oxford commas in validity language. * Lots of cleanup of generator scripts and Makefiles to move extension list for generator into the script arguments instead of the body of genvk.py, and express better dependencies between XML, scripts, and generated files. |

Change log for April 22, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.11 spec update:
* 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. |

Change log for April 8, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.9 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 9 for this update. Github Issues: * Fix memory type preorder definition and clarify example list and source code for slink:VkMemoryRequirements and slink:VkMemoryHeap (public issue 26). * Ensure slink:VkAllocationCallbacks are properly defined (public issue 73). * Clarify the WSI extension language by switching from the fuzzier "ownership" language to more-consistent "acquire" language (public issue 117). * Add language allowing allocation and freeing of memory scoped to the duration of any API command in the <<memory-allocation,Memory Allocation>> section (public issue 136). * Clarify the explicit location assignment always overrides the inherited location in the <<interfaces-iointerfaces-locations,Location Assignment>> section, even for the first member of a block (public issue 141). * Fixed references to slink:VkCommandBufferInheritanceInfo::pname:pipelineStatistics (public issue 158). * Fix name of slink:VkBufferCopy::pname:size field in validity language for flink:vkCmdCopyBuffer (public issue 162). Internal Issues: * Update GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl specification to clarify disallowance of spec-const arrays in initializers (internal issue 248). * Clarify <<interfaces-iointerfaces-matching,Interface Matching>> section to state that user-defined variable interface must match too (internal issue 250). |

Change log for March 10, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.6 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 6 for this update. Github Issues: * Define 'invocation group' for compute and graphics shaders. Cleanup definition and use of 'workgroup', and add glossary entries (public issue 1). * Various minor editorial fixes (public issue 33). * Clarify locations for block members in the <<interfaces-iointerfaces-locations,Location Assignment>> section (public issue 45). * Editorial fixes for <<commandbuffer-allocation,Command Buffer Allocation>> section (public issues 54, 59). * Clarify behavior of depth test in the <<fragops-depth,Depth Test>> section (public issues 80, 81). * Remove discussion of return codes from flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSparseImageFormatProperties and flink:vkGetImageSparseMemoryRequirements, which don't return values (public issue 82). * Allow flink:vkCmdDrawIndirect and flink:vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect pname:drawCount of 0, as well as 1, when the multiDrawIndirect feature is not supported (public issue 88). * Remove confusing wording in the <<features-limits,Limits>> section describing the slink:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits pname:minTexelBufferOffsetAlignment, pname:minUniformBufferOffsetAlignment, and pname:minStorageBufferOffsetAlignment members as both minimums and maximums (public issue 91). * Clarified that only the RGB components should be affected in places where sRGB is referred to in the spec, such as ASTC formats. Minor re-wording to avoid "color space" when actively incorrect, now that we refer to the Data Format Spec which actually makes a distinction between color space and transfer function (public issue 94). * Treat pname:pPropertyCount == 0 consistently in flink:vkEnumerateInstanceLayerProperties and flink:vkEnumerateDeviceLayerProperties (public issue 99) * Cleanup minor editorial issues in chapters 14-17 (public issue 100). * Clarify definition of flink:vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties and flink:vkEnumerateDeviceExtensionProperties (public issue 101). * Define the flink:vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties and flink:vkEnumerateDeviceExtensionProperties pname:pLayerName parameter to be a pointer to a null-terminated UTF-8 string (public issue 101). * Rearrange "Missing information" references in mandatory format tables (public issue 101). * Clarify that the enumerated extensions returned by flink:vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties and flink:vkEnumerateDeviceExtensionProperties will only include extensions provided by the platform or extensions implemented in implicitly enabled layers (public issue 101). * Miscellaneous editorial fixes. Include the Vulkan spec patch number in the PDF title. Fix label on <<fig-non-strict-lines,Non strict lines>> diagram. Use more easily distinguished symbols in tables in the <<features-required-format-support,Required Format Support>> section. Don't require FQDNs used as layer names be encoded in lower case if not possible, in the <<extensions-naming-conventions, Extension and Layer Naming Conventions>> section (public issues 101, 119, 121). Internal Issues: * Fixed excessive spacing in tables in XHTML (internal issue 18). * Clarify that ename:VK_COMMAND_BUFFER_USAGE_ONE_TIME_SUBMIT_BIT applies to secondary command buffers. Previously spec only referred to the members of pname:pCommandBuffers being affected by this bit. Added a separate slink:VkSubmitInfo Valid Usage restriction specifying that ename:VK_COMMAND_BUFFER_USAGE_ONE_TIME_SUBMIT_BIT also applies to any secondary command buffers that are recorded into the primary command buffers in pname:pCommandBuffers (internal issue 106). * Clarify that slink:VkDeviceCreateInfo::pname:pEnabledFeatures can be NULL (internal issue 117). * Remove "the value of" where it is redundant (e.g. speaking of an API parameter, struct member, or SPIR-V variable, but not when speaking of color components) (internal issue 175). * Forced patch version to always be 0 in the header. Add a "VK_API_VERSION_<major>_<minor>" macro for people to use to do the right thing. Add a VK_HEADER_VERSION which captures the header release number independent of the spec patch number (internal issue 176). * Correct description of slink:VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo::pname:pName to "a pointer to a null-terminated UTF-8 string" (internal issue #197). Other Commits: * Updated DataFormat spec reference to the new date for revision 5 of that spec. * Fixed KEEP option (to retain LaTeX intermediate files) in the Makefile to be included when edited there, as well as set on the command line. * Reserve and add "VK_IMG_filter_cubic" to the registry, and implement script functionality to add and remove validity from existing functions. Includes schema and readme changes. * Update GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl so push_constants do not have descriptor sets. |

Also one typo fix for "hetereogeneous" (public issue 4). * Replace maynot: macro with may: not, and "may: or maynot:" with "may:" (public issue 4). * Clarify that redundantly setting the state of a fence or event has no effect (public issue 4). * Minor fixes to ref pages to track descriptions of memory bits that changed in the core spec. Fix name of a member in the description of sname:sname:VkPipelineMultisampleStateCreateInfo (public issues 8, 13). * Remove redundant validity statement for sname:VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo::pname:stageCount (public issue 14). * Fix typos in chapters 7-9 (public issue 14). * Clarify the example demonstrating the behavior of code:OpMemoryBarrier in the <<shaders-execution-memory-ordering,shader memory acces ordering>> section (public issue 16). * Specify that freeing mapped memory implicitly unmaps the memory in the description of flink:vkFreeMemory (public issue 17). * Forbid allocation callbacks from calling into the API in the <<memory-allocation,memory allocation>> section (public issue 20). * Add missing validity rules about size being greater than 0 and offset being less than size of object. Fix flink:VkMappedMemoryRange's misinterpretation of offset (public issues 27, 31). * Add validity rule disallowing overlapping source/destination descriptors in flink:VkCopyDescriptorSet (public issue 32). * Clarify that array and matrix stride has to be a multiple of the base alignment of the array or matrix in the <<interfaces-resources-layout,Offset and Stride Assignment>> section (public issue 38). * Correct parenthesis floor nesting error in equation for <<textures-RGB-sexp,RGB to shared exponent conversion>>. Clarify case of when exp' is forced to 0, avoiding log2(0) undefined problem (public issue 40). * Remove redundant statement from the code:FragDepth description in the <<interfaces-builtin-variables,Built-In Variables>> section (public issue 47). * Define the clamping of the <<textures-level-of-detail-operation,bias added to the scale factor>> by linking to the slink:VkPhysicalDevice feature pname:maxSamplerLodBias (public issue 64). * Fix typo "optimal linear resources" and clarify the set of resources <<features-limits-bufferImageGranularity,the pname:bufferImageGranularity resource>> applies to (public issue 67). * Replace 'descriptor accessed by a pipeline' language for sname:VkDescriptorSetAllocateInfo with more precise phrasing about binding a descriptor set before a command that invokes work using that set (public issue 69). * tstripadj.svg contained an Inkscape tag which caused Firefox and IE 11 to fail to render it, and was illegal SVG. Generating Plain SVG from the Inkscape SVG source fixes this (public issue 70). * Fix validity for sname:VkVertexInputBindingDescription and sname:VkVertexInputAttributeDescription numbers (public issue 72). Internal Issues: * Clarify the meaning of ename:VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_FILTER_LINEAR_BIT in elink:VkFormatFeatureFlagBits with respect to depth compare (internal issue 107). * Added a note explaining that ename:VK_QUEUE_TRANSFER_BIT may or may not be reported for a queue family that already supports ename:VK_QUEUE_GRAPHICS_BIT or ename:VK_QUEUE_COMPUTE_BIT as the former is a strict subset of the latter ones (internal issue 116). * Add validity language for sname:VkDescriptorSetAllocateInfo about exceeding the descriptor pool capacity (internal issue 140). * Add ename:VK_INCOMPLETE success code for flink:vkEnumeratePhysicalDevices query (internal issue 163). Other Commits: * Add the VK_NV_glsl_shader extension definitions to the API. * Update GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl with 1) origin_upper_left as default 2) specialization array constant semantics. * Corrected/updated Data Format Specification date. |
