Change log for September 5, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.60 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 60 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Document that <<queries-timestamps, Timestamp Queries>> can only be
meaningfully compared when they are written from the same queue (public
issue 216).
* Document that the `<extension>` tag `type` attribute is required for
non-disabled extensions (derived from, but does not close public issue
354).
* Clean up registry schema length attribute descriptions to be consistent
and correct (public issue 555).
Internal Issues:
* Replace as much of the hand-written extension appendix metadata as
possible with asciidoc includes generated from corresponding attributes
of +vk.xml+, and enhance the style guide to match. This avoids
inconsistencies between +vk.xml+ and the appendices, and produces a more
uniform style (internal issue 137).
* Remove the generated extDependency.{py,sh} files from the tree and
create them dynamically on demand instead, reducing merge conflicts
(internal issue 713).
* Add a prototype tool for generating in-place difference markup for
sections guarded by asciidoc conditionals, and new syntax for open
blocks to support it (internal issue 833).
* Remove unnecessary restriction of etext:*SYNC_FD_BIT_KHR external handle
types to the same physical device in the
slink:VkPhysicalDeviceIDPropertiesKHR,
flink:VkImportMemoryWin32HandleInfoKHR,
slink:VkImportFenceWin32HandleInfoKHR, slink:VkImportFenceFdInfoKHR,
slink:VkImportSemaphoreWin32HandleInfoKHR,
slink:VkImportSemaphoreFdInfoKHR
<<external-memory-handle-types-compatibility, External memory handle
types compatibility>>, <<external-semaphore-handle-types-compatibility,
External semaphore handle types compatibility>>, and
<<external-fence-handle-types-compatibility, External fence handle types
compatibility>> sections (internal issue 956).
Other Issues:
* Remove dependency of +VK_KHX_device_group+ on +VK_KHR_swapchain+ (there
is an interaction, but not a strict dependency), and add a new
`extension` attribute to the `<require` XML tag to allow classifying a
subset of interfaces of an extension as requiring another extension.
Update the registry schema and documentation accordingly.
New Extensions:
* `VK_AMD_shader_fragment_mask` (and related `GL_AMD_shader_fragment_mask`
GLSL extension)
* `VK_EXT_sample_locations`
* `VK_EXT_validation_cache`

Change log for May 20, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.50 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 50 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Fix numerous minor issues with the VK_EXT_debug_report extension (public
issues 478, 483, 486, 489, 490).
Internal Issues:
* Update flink:vkAllocateDescriptorSets to specify conditions under which
to return ename:VK_ERROR_FRAGMENTED_POOL or
ename:VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_POOL_MEMORY instead of
out-of-host/out-of-device-memory, and improve the
<<fundamentals-errorcodes, description of those errors (internal issue
654).
* Add a NOTE documenting that flink:vkAcquireNextImageKHR can only signal
a single semaphore, and how to deal with that when multiple physical
devices in a logical device need to wait on it (internal issue 730).
* Improve description of pname:pNext chains of
slink:VkPhysicalDeviceImageFormatInfo2KHR and
slink:VkImageFormatProperties2KHR (internal issue 814).
* Clean up math markup issues in the <<textures, Image Operations>>
chapter (internal issue 818).
* Update validusage target to use more robust code for preprocessing, by
making direct use of Asciidoctor's preprocessor. Added uniqueItems check
to JSON vu schema and add clean_validusage target (internal issue 826).
* Update style guide to prohibit writing non-self-contained (on a single
bullet point) Valid Usage statements, and modify offending Valid Usage
statements in the Specification to match, to assist with automatic
extraction for the validation layers (internal issue 828).
* Add ename:VK_VALIDATION_CHECK_SHADERS_EXT to elink:VkValidationCheckEXT
of the `VK_EXT_validation_flags` extension, to selectively disable
shader validation.
* Remove duplicate valid usage statement for slink:VkImageMemoryBarrier.
* Modify reflow.py script to place VUID tag anchors standalone on a line
following their corresponding bullet point, and reflow the spec text
accordingly (this had been pending since the initial tag deployment).
New Extensions:
* `VK_AMD_texture_gather_bias_lod`

Change log for February 27, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.42 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 42 for this update
(the first anniversary edition).
Github Issues:
* Changed asciidoctor macros so cross-page links in the standalone
reference pages function properly (public issue 462).
Internal Issues:
* Clarified host visibility discussion for slink:VkMemoryType,
flink:vkInvalidateMappedMemoryRanges, elink:VkAccessFlagBits, and the
<<synchronization-framebuffer-regions,Framebuffer Region Dependencies>>
section, removing duplicated information and adding a central definition
in the access types section (internal issue 552).
* Change description of
slink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfacePresentModesKHR::pname:pPresentModes to
return an array of values, not structures (internal issue 699).
New Extensions:
* Add a NOTE to the <<extensions,Layers & Extensions>> chapter describing
the experimental status of `KHX` extensions.
* Add new Khronos, Khronos Experimental, and vendor Vulkan extensions for
release at GDC:
** VK_KHR_descriptor_update_template
** VK_KHR_push_descriptor
** VK_KHX_device_group
** VK_KHX_device_group_creation
** VK_KHX_external_memory
** VK_KHX_external_memory_capabilities
** VK_KHX_external_memory_fd
** VK_KHX_external_memory_win32
** VK_KHX_external_semaphore
** VK_KHX_external_semaphore_capabilities
** VK_KHX_external_semaphore_fd
** VK_KHX_external_semaphore_win32
** VK_KHX_multiview
** VK_KHX_win32_keyed_mutex
** VK_EXT_discard_rectangles
** VK_MVK_ios_surface
** VK_MVK_macos_surface
** VK_NVX_multiview_per_view_attributes
** VK_NV_clip_space_w_scaling
** VK_NV_geometry_shader_passthrough
** VK_NV_sample_mask_override_coverage

Change log for February 10, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.40 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 40 for this update.
* There is a major build change in this release. We are now using the
Ruby-based ``asciidoctor'' implementation, rather than the Python-based
``asciidoc'' implementation, to process the specification. While the
actual specification markup changes were minimal, this requires a new
set of build tools and a very different installation process, especially
because we now use an experimental direct-to-PDF backend for Asciidoctor
instead of Docbook->dblatex->PDF. It is no longer possible to build the
Specification using asciidoc. See doc/specs/vulkan/README.adoc
for some guidance on installing the new toolchain components.
* There are some minor rendering issues in the PDF output due to teething
problems with the asciidoctor toolchain, especially with mathematical
equations. We are aware of these and working on them.
Github Issues:
* Updated sample code for the <<sparsememory-examples-basic,sparse
resource binding example>> (public issue 97).
* Modify line and point clipping behavior in the
<<vertexpostproc-clipping, Primitive Clipping>> section to allow for
pop-free behavior. The ability to check for which behavior is
implemented may be added a future feature or extension (public issue
113).
* Unify the discussions of implicit ordering throughout the spec, in
particular in the new sections <<drawing-primitive-order, Primitive
Order>>, <<primrast-order, Rasterization Order>>, and
<<synchronization-implicit, Implicit Synchronization Guarantees>>; the
discussion of <<synchronization-submission-order, submission order>>;
and references elsewhere to these sections (public issue 133).
* Clarify \<\<descriptorsets-compatibility,Pipeline Layout Compatibility>>
language and introduce the term ``identically defined'' (public issue
164).
* Add a dependency to the +VK_EXT_debug_marker+ extension that's needed to
reuse the object type enum from +VK_EXT_debug_report+, and moves the
definition of that enum into +VK_EXT_debug_report+ where it should be
(public issue 409).
* Remove redundant valid usage statement from slink:VkImageBlit (public
issue 421).
* Update GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl to allow the ternary operator to result in a
specialization constant (public issue 424).
* Fix valid usage for flink:VkPipelineShaderStageCreateInfo (public issue
426).
* Correct typo in New Objects list for <<VK_EXT_debug_report>> (public
issue 447).
Internal Issues:
* Moved to asciidoctor for spec builds (internal issue 121).
* Update style guide to describe where to put new extensions-specific
asciidoc files, and what to name them (internal issue 626).
* Add src/spec/indexExt.py to autogenerate registry index entries linking
into the 1.0-extensions specification, instead of maintaining the index
manually. (internal issue 642).
* Autogenerate extension dependencies and lists of all extensions and all
KHR extensions from the "supported" attributes in +vk.xml+. Execute
+make config/extDependency.sh+ from +doc/specs/vulkan+ when a supported
extension is added to vk.xml, to regenerate the dependency script. The
consequence is that specifying a single extension to the +makeExt+
script will automatically enable all extensions it depends on as well,
and that the +makeAllExts+ and +makeKHR+ scripts do not need to be
updated when a new extension is supported (internal issue 648).
* Put extension appendices all at the same asciidoc section level, so KHR
WSI extensions show up in the HTML index (internal issue 648).
Other Issues:
* Imbed images in the generated HTML specs instead of loading them from
the images/ directory.
* Fix missing EXT in extension name
(ename:VK_EXT_SWAPCHAIN_COLOR_SPACE_EXTENSION_NAME).
* Add new +VK_EXT_SMPTE_2086_metadata+ extension.
* In the <<platformCreateSurface_xlib,Xlib Surface>> section of the
+VK_KHR_xlib_surface+ specification, add language warning users that
they always need to call code:XinitThreads.
* Use the term "presentable image" (rather than "swapchain image")
consistently in +VK_KHR_swapchain+ and related extensions, and add a
glossary term defining it.
* Relocate the valid usage for samples of
flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSparseImageFormatProperties2KHR::pname:pFormatInfo
to be below the flink:VkPhysicalDeviceSparseImageFormatInfo2KHR
structure.

Change log for January 23, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.39 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 39 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Clarified that only accesses via the specified buffer/image subresource
ranges are included in the access scopes (public issue 306).
* Add missing valid usage statements for flink:vkCreateComputePipelines
and flink:vkCreateGraphicsPipelines (public issue 427).
Internal Issues:
* Add a Note to the <<invariance,Invariance>> appendix about a difference
between OpenGL and Vulkan with regards to how primitives derived from
offsets are handled (internal issue 355).
* Add the +<<VK_KHR_get_physical_device_properties2>>+,
+<<VK_KHR_maintenance1>>+, and +<<VK_KHR_shader_draw_parameters>>+
extensions (internal issue 448).
* Add the +<<VK_EXT_shader_subgroup_vote>>+ and
+<<VK_EXT_shader_subgroup_ballot>>+ extensions (internal issue 449).
* Update the texture level-of-detail equation in the
<<textures-scale-factor,Scale Factor Operation>> section to better
approximate the ellipse major and minor axes (internal issue 547).
* Forbid non-explicitly allowed uses of interface decorations in the
introduction to the <<interfaces,Shader Interfaces>> chapter (internal
issue 607).
* Replace use of MathJax with KaTeX, for improved load-time performance as
well as avoiding the scrolling-and-scrolling behavior due to MathJax
asynchronous rendering when loading at an anchor inside the spec. This
change also requires moving to HTML5 output for the spec instead of
XHTML, and there is a visible difference in that the chapter navigation
index is now in a scrollable sidebar instead of at the top of the
document. We may or may not retain the nav sidebar based on feedback
(internal issue 613).
* Improve consistency of markup and formatting in extension appendices
(internal issue 631).
Other Issues:
* Add explicit valid usage statements to slink:VkImageCopy requiring that
the source and destination layer ranges be contained in their respective
source and destination images.
* Add valid usage language for swapchain of flink:vkAcquireNextImage. If
the swapchain has been replaced, then it should not be passed to
flink:vkAcquireNextImage.
* Add a valid usage statement to flink:vkCreateImageView, that the image
must have been created with an appropriate usage bit set.
* Noted that slink:VkDisplayPresentInfoKHR is a valid extension of
slink:VkPresentInfoKHR in the <<wsi_swapchain,WSI Swapchain>> section.
* Update valid usage for flink:vkCmdSetViewport and flink:vkCmdSetScissor
to account for the multiple viewport feature. If the feature is not
enabled, the parameters for these functions have required values that
are defined in the <<features-features-multiViewport,multiple
viewports>> section of the spec but were not reflected in the valid
usage text for these functions.
* Add the +<<VK_EXT_swapchain_colorspace>>+ extension defining common
color spaces.

Change log for November 11, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.33 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 33 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Added implicit external synchronization parameters to
vkBegin/EndCommandBuffer, and fixed missing command pool host
synchronization from per-command lists (public issue 398).
* Started using git tags including the spec release number, such as
'v1.0.32-core', instead of tags including the date of release, such as
'v1.0-core-20161025' (public issue 405).
Internal Issues:
* Add validity constraint for
slink:VkImportMemoryWin32HandleInfoNV::pname:handle (internal issue
#480).
* Add scripts to compare two Vulkan HTML specifications, derived from W3
htmldiff service (internal issue 525).
* Relax requirement that memoryTypeBits can't depend on format, to allow
it to differ only for depth/stencil formats (internal issue 544).
* Add a new generator script to create a simple extension loader for
Vulkan based on +vk.xml+ (internal issue 558).
* Add the overlooked requirement that buffer and image memory
alignment requirements must be a power of two in the
<<resources-association,Resource Memory Association>> section
(internal issue 569).
Other Issues:
* Add a naming rule to the style guide for members of extension structures
defining array lengths which are the same as array lengths of the core
structure they are chained from.
* Add a new generator to create a simple extension loader in
+src/ext_loader/vulkan_ext.[ch]+ from +vk.xml+. This code can be
included in your project, and is expected to be packaged in the Vulkan
SDK provided by LunarG in the future.

Change log for October 7, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.30 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 30 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Document missing pname:sType and pname:pNext parameters for
slink:VkCommandBufferInheritanceInfo (public issue 224).
* As promised, we are removing the example code, from the appendix, for
the VK_KHR_surface and VK_KHR_swapchain extensions. The cube demo
(shipped in the official Khronos SDK) has been updated, and is the
example code that we want people to look at for how to use these two
extensions (public issues 279, 308, and 311).
* Clarify the formats for which the slink:VkClearColorValue pname:float32
member is used. Also clean up related language for flink:vkCmdBlitImage
(public issue 369).
* Reword the <<invariance, Invariance>> appendix chapter to better match
Vulkan terminology (public issue 372).
Internal Issues:
* Update slink:VkMemoryRequirements to not require a host_visible memory
type exists that can be bound to sparse buffers (internal issue 494).
* Modify the <<features-supported-sample-counts,Supported Sample Counts>>
language to allow multisampled depth-stencil images (internal issue
521).

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 September 6, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.26 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 26 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Bring sample code in the +VK_KHR_surface+ and +VK_KHR_swapchain+
extension summary appendices up to date, and note they will be replaced
with pointers to the LunarG SDK examples in the future (public issue
279).
* Add a new <<fundamentals-commandsyntax-results-lifetime,Lifetime of
Retrieved Results>> section specifying that ftext:vkGet* and
ftext:VkEnumerate* results are invariant unless otherwise specified, and
specify behavior for individual commands which are not invariant (public
issue 280).
* Remove conflicting definition of
slink:VkDisplayPlaneCapabilitiesKHR::pname:maxSrcPosition and clean up
language of the remaining definition (public issue 351).
* Fix many minor spelling errors and add rules to the style guide to
prevent recurrences (public issue 352).
Internal Issues:
* Remove redundant descriptions of the etext:VK_USE_PLATFORM_* macros from
the <<wsi,Window System Integration>> chapter in favor of the
description in the <<boilerplate-wsi-header,Window System-Specific
Header Control>> appendix (internal issue 6).
* Replace misleading 'can: be destroyed when not X' with more correct
'must: not be destroyed while X' in the
<<fundamentals-objectmodel-lifetime,Object Lifetime>> section. Disallow
destroying a pipeline layout while a command buffer using it is
recording (internal issue 241).
* Clarify that ename:VK_IMAGE_USAGE_TRANSIENT_ATTACHMENT_BIT is valid for
all images used as attachments in elink:VkImageUsageFlagBits and the
slink:VkImageLayout validity language (internal issue 320).
* Note that <<extended-functionality-layers,Layers>> may wrap object
handles, but that this is a generally discouraged. A link to additional
information in the documentation for layer authors is provided (issue
398)
* Replace the mustnot: and shouldnot: macros with equivalent must: not and
should: not to get rid of non-English words while still highlighting
normative language (internal issue 407).
* Disallow creating multisampled images with
ename:VK_IMAGE_CREATE_CUBE_COMPATIBLE_BIT in the slink:VkImageLayout
validity language and the <<features-supported-sample-counts,Supported
Sample Counts>> section (internal issue 445).
* Fix typo so that flink:vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect is defined in terms of
flink:vkCmdDrawIndexed rather than flink:vkCmdDrawIndirect (internal
issue 446).
* Reorganize the per-extension information sections to all be in the
<<extensions,Layers & Extensions>> appendix. Also fix a typo in
+VK_IMG_filter_cubic+ which incorrectly identified it as a +KHR+
extension (internal issue 461).
Other Issues:
* Use asciidoc markup instead of latexmath to simplify diagrams in the
<<features-formats-non-packed,byte mapping tables>> for color formats.
* Fix a markup problem with the wildcarded enumerant names in a NOTE in
the <<textures-texel-replacement,Texel Replacement>> section.
* Fix missing attributes in the XML interface for
elink:VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagBitsNV and
elink:VkExternalMemoryFeatureFlagBitsNV (KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Hpp issue
#25)
* Cleanup reference page builds so only core pages are built for releases.

Change log for August 26, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.25 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 25 for this update.
* Structurally change the specification so that multiple extensions are
included in the +1.0+ git branch, and specifications will include or not
include those extensions at build time based on options passed to the
Makefile. See +doc/specs/vulkan/README.html+ and the ``Layers and
Extensions'' section of the ``Vulkan Documentation and Extensions''
document for more information on this change.
* Register and publish new extensions in the single-branch form:
** +VK_NV_external_memory_capabilities+
** +VK_NV_external_memory+
** +VK_NV_external_memory_win32+
** +VK_NV_win32_keyed_mutex+
Github Issues:
* Clarify description of GetInstanceProcAddr and GetDeviceProcAddr (public
issue 212).
* Add SPIR-V <<textures-operation-validation, instruction validation>> for
single-sampled images (public issue 316).
* Fix spelling of ``tesselation'' in a few places and note it as an
exception to the American spelling rules convention (public issue
327).
* Fix Makefile to create output directory for ``styleguide''
target (public issue 329).
* Fix numerous minor issues with incorrectly tags on enumerant names and
table titles (public issue 330).
* Generate specversion.txt date in UTC time and RFC 2822 format
(public issue 335).
* Convert link to the SPIR-V Specification for
flink:VkShaderModuleCreateInfo into an internal link to the normative
reference (public issue 336).
* Add ename:VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY error code to
flink:vkCreateDebugReportCallbackEXT (public issue 337).
Internal Issues:
* Update style guide regarding use of code:NULL and dname:VK_NULL_HANDLE
(internal issue 393).
* Change the definition of latexmath:[$q$] in the
<<textures-image-level-selection,texture image level selection>> section
to be the index of the maximum defined level for the view, not the
number of levels in the view (internal issue 406).
* Allow developers to override dname:VK_DEFINE_NON_DISPATCHABLE_HANDLE
with their own binary-compatible definition (internal issue 439).
* Fix +vk_platform.h+ conditional logic causing compile failure with some
Android compilers (internal issue 441).
* Implement the single-branch model as described above (internal issue
461).

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 July 15, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.21 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 21 for this update.
Github Issues:
* Clarify how <<features-supported-sample-counts,sample count queries>>
relate to the limits in slink:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits. (public issue
185).
* Clarify in the <<interfaces-iointerfaces,Shader Input and Output
Interfaces>> section that shader output variables have undefined values
until the shader writes to them (public issue 240).
* Specify the implicit value of image parameters that cannot be set in
slink:VkSwapchainCreateInfo::pname:flags, pname:imageType,
pname:mipLevels, pname:samples, pname:tiling, and pname:initialLayout
(public issue 243).
* Make use of code:NULL and code:VK_NULL_HANDLE consistent in the
VK_KHR_swapchain extension (public issue 276).
Internal Issues:
* Clarify that presenting an image to a display surface swapchain applies
the display surface's mode, and that destroying a display surface
swapchain may reset the display's mode, in the VK_KHR_display_swapchain
extension (internal issue 247).
* Better describe what a slink:VkSurfaceKHR is, and that creating one does
not set a mode, in the VK_KHR_display extension. This is a round-about
way of pointing out that mode setting is not covered by the extension,
but rather is performed as a side effect of presentation (internal issue
247).
* Add more valid usage statements to flink:vkQueuePresentKHR command when
the VK_KHR_display_swapchain extension is present (internal issue
247).
* Add more includes to the VK_KHR_swapchain extension to better document
interactions with VK_KHR_display_swapchain (internal issue 247).
* Clarify restrictions on location aliasing in the
<<fxvertex,Fixed-Function Vertex Processing>> section (internal issue
370).
* Add mathematical description of blitting to flink:vkCmdBlitImage, and
link it to the <<textures,Image Operations>> chapter. Use mathematical
notation for ranges of texel coordinates in the <<textures,Image
Operations>> chapter. Fixed miscellaneous validity statements for
flink:vkCmdBlit and slink:VkImageBlit (internal issue 382).
Other Commits:
* Added a valid usage rule to flink:VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo that the
ename:VK_PRIMITIVE_TOPOLOGY_PATCH_LIST topology must only be used when
tessellation shaders are used.
* Expand the style guide into a formal "Procedures and Conventions"
document. Add a API Naming Conventions section, move most of the API
Specification Appendix C (Layers and Extensions) content into the new
document, and define the resulting procedures as mandatory (where
relevant). This more clearly separates use vs. specification of Vulkan
APIs.
* Update vk_platform.h to handle 32-bit ARMv8 binaries.
* Various minor cleanups to the Makefile and build process.

Change log for July 10, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.20 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 20 for this
update.
Github Issues:
* Replaced existing reference pages by text automatically extracted
from the specification source, or generated from vk.xml in some
cases. This isn't a complete solution for the reference pages, but
puts them in a much better state. The ref pages (only) are now
placed under a CC BY open source license, which is more current than
the obsolete license previously used.
Further improvements to the pages should not edit them directly, but
instead concentrate on the specification source from which the ref
pages are being extracted (public issues 44, 55, 160; internal issue
389).

Change log for July 1, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.19 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 19 for this
update.
Github Issues:
* Clarified how flink:vkGetImageSubresourceLayout interacts with image
layouts (public issue 247).
* Remove ename:VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_PREINITIALIZED from valid usage rule for
slink:VkImageMemoryBarrier::pname:oldLayout. It is only valid if it is
the current layout (public issue 248).
* Modify valid usage for flink:vkBindBufferMemory so implementations are
free to require a different backing memory size than the buffer size
(public issue 251).
* Clarify that filtering rules for flink:vkCmdBlitImage always apply, and
are usually no-ops if the formats are the same (public issue 253).
* Remove 'non-sparse' from description of
flink:vkGetBufferMemoryRequirements and
flink:vkGetImageMemoryRequirements (public issue 257).
* Remove ename:VK_ERROR_LAYER_NOT_PRESENT error code from
flink:vkCreateDevice (public issue 259).
* Change "must not" to "should not" in constraint on when
flink:vkAcquireNextImageKHR is called in the +VK_KHR_swapchain+ branch
(public issue 262).
* Change type of flink:vkCmdUpdateBuffer::pname:pData from
basetype:uint32_t* to basetype:void* (public issue 263).
* Change should: to must: in description of where additional segments are
placed in the <<[tessellation-tessellator-spacing,Tessellator Spacing>>
section (public issue 264).
Internal Issues:
* Normalize the language of all the compute shader built-ins in the
<<interfaces-builtin-variables,Built-in Variables>> section (internal
issue 323).
* Remove definition of presentation engine internal queue lengths
associated with ename:VK_PRESENT_MODE_FIFO_KHR and
ename:VK_PRESENT_MODE_FIFO_RELAXED_KHR in the <<Window System
Integration,wsi>> chapter (internal issue 374).
* The language of a Note was too broad, and implied that loaders for a
given OS would statically export functions for WSI extensions that
weren't relevant to (or supported on) the OS. Also, removed
"Khronos-provided" since the Android loader isn't (internal issue 380)
Other Commits:
* Add ename:VK_INCOMPLETE to list of return values for
flink:vkGetPipelineCacheData. Spec says this value is returnable, but it
wasn't listed in the error codes.
* Fix "correponds" typo in member definitions for
slink:VkSubpassDescription.

Change log for May 13, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.13 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 13 for this
update.
Github Issues:
* Improve the description of ename:VK_PRESENT_MODE_FIFO_RELAXED_KHR in the
VK_KHR_surface extension (public issue 174).
* Clarify use of etext:*_SIMULTANEOUS_USE_BIT for secondary command
buffers (public issue 182).
* Fix typos in VK_KHR_wayland_surface extension where code:wl_device was
used instead of code:wl_display (public issue 193).
* Replaced {apiname} with ``Vulkan'' in XML validity statements (public
issue 199).
* Fix dead links for WSI handle types (public issue 200).
*** N.b. this needs to be done in WSI branches as well ***
* Use "signaled" instead of "signalled" spelling everywhere (public issue
201).
*** N.b. this needs to be done in WSI branches as well ***
* Move readme.pdf target directory for XML schema documentation into the
target generation directory, instead of leaving it checked into the spec
source tree (public issue 203).
*** N.b. need to add generated PDF to registry index/1.0 page
* Fix duplicate 'which which' typo in description of
elink:VkCommandPoolResetFlagBits (public issue 204).
* Move the <<Programmable Primitive Shading>> section up one level, out of
the <<drawing-primitive-topologies,Primitive Topologies>> section
(public issue 209).
Internal Issues:
* Clarify in the <<pipelines-cache,Pipeline Cache>> section that
implementations should not manage the size of pipeline cache (internal
issue 192).
* Deprecate the concept of device layers and associated commands (internal
issue 255).
* Remove ename:VK_INCOMPLETE from the list of possible result codes of
flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR (internal issue 314).
* Add missing std140/std430 rule: the base alignment of a member following
a structure is a multiple of the structure's base alignment (internal
issue 321).
* Fixes naming of the single elink:VkColorSpaceKHR enum from
ename:VK_COLORSPACE_SRGB_NONLINEAR_KHR to
ename:VK_COLOR_SPACE_SRGB_NONLINEAR_KHR in XML/header and the
VK_KHR_swapchain and VK_KHR_surface extensions to match the style of the
typename (space and color are two words, not one) (internal issue 322).
* Make it clear that code:LocalInvocationID should only be applied to an
input variable and normalize the language describing
code:LocalInvocationID to the language for other compute shader
variables in the <<interfaces-builtin-variables,Built-in Variables>>
section, and add normative language (internal issue 323).
* Clarify in the <<fundamentals-returncodes,Return Codes>> section that
the result pointer may be modified for specific commands, even if a
runtime error is returned (internal issue 324).
