Change log for September 15, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.123 spec update:
* Update release number to 123.
Github Issues:
* Add missing aspect mask descriptions to elink:VkImageAspectFlagBits
(public pull request 1029).
* Modify validity generator script to not check validity of ignored values
in same-parent valid usage statements (public pull request 1030).
* Make slink:VkDescriptorUpdateTemplateCreateInfo::pname:descriptorSetLayout
`noautovalidity` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 1031).
* Fix footnote markup in the <<vkGetDeviceProcAddr behavior>> table
(public pull request 1034).
Internal Issues:
* Require that <<interfaces-builtin-variables-sgs, code:SubgroupSize>> be
a power of two (internal issue 1499).
* Clarify that shaderFloat64 and shaderInt64 enable all storage classes,
while shaderFloat16, shaderInt8, and shaderInt16 only enable
non-interface storage classes. in the <<features-shaderFloat64>>,
<<features-shaderInt64>>, and <<features-shaderInt16>> descriptions and
for slink:VkPhysicalDeviceShaderFloat16Int8FeaturesKHR (internal issue
1582).
* Fix broken asciidoctor conditional logic in the
<<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a Module>>
section, and add style guide language to help avoid this problem in the
future (internal issue 1808).
* Modify VUID assignment script to use the first API include in a block as
part of the VUID name rather than the last one, so the VUID is based on
the promoted API name (internal issue 1809).
* Cleanup string descriptions to consistently refer to "`null-terminated
UTF-8`" strings (internal issue 1813).
* Clarify the purpose of the
slink:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits::ptext:maxDescriptorSet* limits (internal
merge request 3357).
* Fix the slink:VkPhysicalDeviceRayTracingPropertiesNV limits for
pname:maxGeometryCount, pname:maxInstanceCount, and
pname:maxTriangleCount in the <<limits-required, Required Limits>>
section (internal issue 3372).
* Update SPIR-V image op sign-matching rules in the
<<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a Module>>
section, the <<formats-numericformat>> table, and the
<<interfaces-resources-descset, Descriptor Set Interface>> section
(internal spirv/SPIR-V issue 332).
New Extensions
* `<<VK_KHR_shader_subgroup_extended_types>>`
* `<<VK_GOOGLE_user_type>>`

Change log for September 8, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.122 spec update:
* Update release number to 122.
Internal Issues:
* Add style guide language on not using standalone `+` signs (internal
issue 736); not using leading whitespace for markup (internal issue
747); and on keeping descriptions of a single API in a contiguous block
of markup (internal issue 949), and apply them to the specification.
* Add a glossary definition of "`constant integral expression`", pointing
to the SPIR-V "`constant instruction`" definition (internal issue 1225).
* Many minor edits to improve writing style consistency and capture
additional style guidelines (internal issue 1553).
* Clarify that <<fragops-depth-write, depth writes are not performed>> if
there is no depth framebuffer attachment (internal issue 1771).
* Allow implementations to use rectangular line style of interpolation for
<<primsrast-lines-bresenham, wide Bresenham lines>>, though replicating
attributes is still preferred. Clarify that code:FragCoord is not
replicated (internal issue 1772).
* Resolve a contradiction in valid usage statements for
slink:VkImageCreateInfo and slink:VkImageStencilUsageCreateInfoEXT
(internal issue 1773).
* Add style guide discussion of markup for indented equations, and use
markup workaround for asciidoctor 2 compatibility (internal issue 1793).
* Deprecate the `<<VK_EXT_validation_flags>>` extension in `vk.xml` and
the extension appendix (internal issue 1801).
* Add a new checker script `scripts/xml_consistency.py`. This is not
currently run as part of internal CI (internal merge request 3285).
* Correct "`an`" -> "`a`" prepositions where needed (internal merge
request 3334).
* Clarify that the <<features-uniformBufferStandardLayout,
pname:uniformBufferStandardLayout>> feature is only required when the
extension defining it is supported (internal merge request 3341).
* Bring scripts into closer sync with OpenXR, mainly through conversion of
comments to docstrings where appropriate, and add gen-scripts-docs.sh
(internal merge request 3324).
* Correct pname:maxDrawMeshTasksCount to 2^16^-1 in the <<limits-required,
Required Limits>> table (internal merge requests 3361).
New Extensions
* `<<VK_IMG_format_pvrtc>>` (public issue 512).

Change log for August 25, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.121 spec update:
* Update release number to 121.
Github Issues:
* Add missing `structextends` attribute in `vk.xml` for
slink:VkPhysicalDevicePipelineExecutablePropertiesFeaturesKHR (public
issue 1018).
* Change attributes of flink:vkCmdCopyAccelerationStructureNV,
flink:vkCmdWriteAccelerationStructuresPropertiesNV,
flink:vkCmdBuildAccelerationStructureNV, and flink:vkCmdTraceRaysNV to
require that these commands execute outside renderpasses (public issue
1021).
* Add an issue to the `<<VK_EXT_buffer_device_address>>` appendix
discussing the introduction of new names and aliasing by equivalent old
names (public pull request 1024).
Internal Issues:
* Protect the `VK_KHR_sampler_mirror_clamp_to_edge` extension with
asciidoctor conditionals, and remove it from the core-only specification
builds, where it had previously been force-included in the Makefile. It
is now treated like any other extension (internal issue 1776).
* Edit some asciidoctor anchor names starting with `features-features-` to
just start with `features-`, since the old chapters was split into 3
pieces. There are still some mild naming inconsistencies with anchors
which may be addressed in the future (internal issue 1792).
* Add `KHR` alias for the non-suffixed extension token
ename:VK_SAMPLER_ADDRESS_MODE_MIRROR_CLAMP_TO_EDGE, for compatibility
with naming rules for extensions (internal issue 1796).
* Clarify requirements for external memory in NOTEs for
sname:VkExternalMemoryBufferCreateInfo, and valid usage statements for
flink:vkBindBufferMemory, slink:VkBindBufferMemoryInfo,
flink:vkBindImageMemory, and slink:VkBindImageMemoryInfo (internal merge
request 3301).
* Make extension version numbers in `vk.xml` and extension appendices
consistent. In a few cases, we could not recover history at this
granularity, and left the summary of a version's change undefined
(internal merge request 3323).
* Fix invocation of `CodeInlineMacro` in the Ruby extension backing the
`code:` macro, which was delegating to the wrong base class (internal
merge request 3331).
* Modify `reg.py` to do a better job of recognizing equivalent <enum>
definitions.
* Add a `sortorder` attribute to XML feature and extension tags.
New Extensions
* `<<VK_AMD_device_coherent_memory>>`

Change log for August 17, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.120 spec update:
* Update release number to 120.
Github Issues:
* Add slink:VkAccelerationStructureTypeNV explicitly to extension XML for
`<<VK_NV_ray_tracing>>` (public issue 848).
* Add missing valid usage statements for feature flags in
slink:VkCommandBufferInheritanceInfo (public pull request 1017).
Internal Issues:
* Clarify behavior of non-premultiplied destination colors for
`<<VK_EXT_blend_operation_advanced>>` prior to the definition of
slink:VkBlendOverlapEXT (internal issue 1766).
* Fix the confusing phrasing "`no other queue must: be (doing something)`"
for flink:vkQueuePresentKHR, flink:vkQueueSubmit, and
flink:vkQueueBindSparse (internal issue 1774).
* Add `<<VK_EXT_validation_features>>` flag to enable best practices
checks, which will soon be available in the validation layer (internal
issue 1779).
* Specify allowed characters for VUID tag name components in the style
guide (internal issue 1788).
* Update links to SPIR-V extension specifications, and parameterize their
markup in case the URLs change in the future (internal issue 1797).
* Fix an off-by-one error in the valid usage statement for
slink:VkPipelineExecutableInfoKHR (internal merge request 3303).
* Clean up markup indentation not matching the style guide (internal merge
request 3314).
* Minor script updates to allow refpage aliases, generate a dynamic TOC
for refpages, generate Apache rewrite rules for aliases, open external
links from refpages in a new window, and synchronize with the OpenCL
scripts. This will shortly enable a paned navigation setup for refpages,
similar to the OpenCL 2.2 refpages (internal merge request 3322).
* Script updates to add tests to the checker, refactor and reformat code,
generate better text for some valid usage statements, use more Pythonic
idioms, and synchronize with the OpenXR scripts (internal merge request
3239).
* Script updates and minor fixes in spec language to not raise checker
errors for refpage markup of pages not existing in the API, such as
VKAPI_NO_STDINT_H. Remove corresponding suppression of some
check_spec_links.py tests from .gitlab-ci.yml and 'allchecks' target
(internal merge request 3315).

Change log for July 20, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.116 spec update:
* Happy 50th Lunar Landing Day!
* Update release number to 116.
Internal Issues:
* Clarify that flink:vkCmdBeginQuery is the same as
flink:vkCmdBeginQueryIndexEXT with index = 0, and that
flink:vkCmdEndQuery is the same as flink:vkCmdEndQueryIndexEXT with
index = 0 (internal issue 1735).
* Clarify that when copying the depth aspect between buffers and images
via slink:VkBufferImage Copy, the depth values in buffer memory must be
in range if the `<<VK_EXT_depth_range_unrestricted>>` extension is not
enabled (internal issue 1737).
* Minor language tweaks in the <<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation
Rules within a Module>> section (internal issue 1744).
* Change the slink:VkPhysicalDeviceFloatControlsPropertiesKHR structure in
the `<<VK_KHR_shader_controls>>` extension. This is a rare case of
breaking the interface of an existing extension to acknowledge the
reality of divergent vendor implementations that could not be described
properly otherwise, and the breaking change is considered acceptable
given the expected low use of the extension (internal issue 1734).
Specific changes:
** Added the slink:VkShaderFloatControlsIndependenceKHR enumeration to
describe the three possible behaviors.
** Renamed pname:separateDenormSettings to
pname:denormBehaviorIndependence.
** Renamed pname:separateRoundingModeSettings to
pname:roundingModeIndependence
* Add a missing valid usage statement for
slink:VkQueryPoolCreateInfo::pname:queryCount (internal issue 1742).
* Update the `<<VK_NV_shading_rate_image>>` appendix to list all
interfaces defined by the extension.
* Add a valid usage statement to
slink:VkWriteDescriptorSetAccelerationStructureNV to clarify that
acceleration structure descriptors must be top level structures.
New Extensions:
* `<<VK_EXT_subgroup_size_control>>`

Change log for July 14, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.115 spec update:
* Update release number to 115.
GitHub issues:
* Add valid usage statements to slink:VkWriteDescriptorSet and
slink:VkCopyDescriptorSet specifying that updating immutable descriptors
with ename:VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_SAMPLER is invalid, and that updating
ename:VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_COMBINED_IMAGE_SAMPLER ignores the update's
samplers (public issue 985).
* Document that the `manhtmlpages` target requires building with all
extensions enabled, in `BUILD.adoc` (public issue 992).
* Fix reference to the wrong subpass in valid usage statement for
slink:VkRenderPassCreateInfo (public pull request 994).
Internal Issues:
* Rename slink:VkPhysicalDeviceShaderIntegerFunctions2INTEL and
ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_SHADER_INTEGER_FUNCTIONS2_FEATURES_INTEL
for consistency with global naming conventions, and to help code
generation in other projects (internal issue 1685).
* Update valid usage statements for image code:Offset / code:ConstOffset
usage in the <<textures-gather, Texel Gathering>> and
<<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a Module>>
sections, and for the <<limits-minTexelGatherOffset>> and
<<limits-maxTexelGatherOffset>> limits (internal issue 1723).
* Require code:code:OpGroupNonUniformBroadcast to take a constant `Id`
operand in the <<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a
Module>> sections (internal issue 1726).
* Note that the swapchain specified in slink:VkImageSwapchainCreateInfoKHR
when creating an image must match the one specified in
slink:VkBindImageMemorySwapchainInfoKHR when binding memory to the image
(internal issue 1729).
* Remove stext:KHR suffix from some structure cross-references that were
promoted to Vulkan 1.1 (internal issue 1730).
* Fix structure name in `structextends` attribute for
slink:VkPhysicalDeviceTexelBufferAlignmentPropertiesEXT in `vk.xml`
(internal issue 1740).
* Fix an error in the code:ClipColor() pseudocode for
<<VK_EXT_blend_operation_advanced>> (internal issue 1741).
* Add a row for
ename:VK_QUERY_TYPE_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_COMPACTED_SIZE_NV to the
description of elink:VkQueryType, and make a few related minor text
cleanups.
* Rename slink:VkPhysicalDeviceFloat16Int8FeaturesKHR to
slink:VkPhysicalDeviceShaderFloat16Int8FeaturesKHR for consistency,
retaining aliases of the old structure name and structure type enum for
backwards compatibility.

and explain how it interacts with slink:VkWriteDescriptorSet,
slink:VkDescriptorSetLayoutBinding::pname:descriptorCount, and
slink:VkDescriptorPoolSize::pname:descriptorCount (internal issue 1643).
* Clarify restrictions on components for code:OpImageGather in the
<<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a Module>> section
(internal issue 1707).
* Clarify the descriptions of <<limits-computeUnitsPerShaderArray,
pname:computeUnitsPerShaderArray>> and <<limits-wavefrontSize,
pname:wavefrontSize>> fields in
slink:VkPhysicalDeviceShaderCorePropertiesAMD.
New Extensions:

Change log for June 23, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.112 spec update:
* Update release number to 112.
Github Issues:
* Clarify that it is possible to use the <<memory-host, Host Memory>>
pname:pfnReallocation callback to free memory in any case that
pname:pfnFree could be used (public issue 973).
Internal Issues:
* Clarify range and precision of code:OpImageQueryLod in the discussion of
scale factor and level-of-detail operation in the
<<textures-normalized-operations, Normalized Texel Coordinate
Operations>> section (internal issues 926, 1719).
* Fix framebuffer layer valid usage statements for
slink:VkRenderPassCreateInfo, slink:VkRenderPassCreateInfo2KHR, and

Rounded>> section in the SPIR-V appendix by adding and referring to that
anchor.
* Fix extension version numbers in `vk.xml` for `VK_EXT_filter_cubic` and
`VK_IMG_filter_cubic`.
* Specify division precision for negative numbers, and remove statement
that trigonometric functions have undefined precision, in the

Change log for June 10, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.111 spec update:
* Update release number to 111.
Github Issues:
* Clean up flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceFormatsKHR and
flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceFormats2KHR to drop the
ename:VK_FORMAT_UNDEFINED case, require callers pass a supported
surface, and rearrange some validation-related language (public issue
207).
* Allow dynamic and nonuniform indexing of acceleration structures in the
<<interfaces-resources-descset, Descriptor Set Interface>> section
(public KhronosGroup/glslang issue 1766).
Internal Issues:
* Clarify when images require the use of YCbCr samplers for
slink:VkWriteDescriptorSet and slink:VkImageViewCreateInfo (internal
issue 1639).
* Remove the "`block`" language around <<features-robustBufferAccess,

Change log for March 11, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.103 spec update:
* Update release number to 103.
Public Issues:
* Remove (unnecessary) scoped modification order case from the memory
model <<memory-model-location-ordered, location-ordered>> definition
(public pull request 924).
* Add an <<memory-model-acyclicity, acyclicity>> axiom to the memory model
(public pull request 927).
Internal Issues:
* Fix reversed logic of slink:VkFormatProperties discussion of multi-plane
formats and ename:VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_DISJOINT_BIT (internal issue 1493).
* Clarify how slink:VkImageStencilUsageCreateInfoEXT works, including new
valid usage statements for flink:vkCmdClearDepthStencilImage, and the
<<copies, Common Operation>> section of the Copy Commands chapter
(internal issue 1565).
* Update <<spirvenv-precision-operation, Precision and Operation of SPIR-V
Instructions>> section to require that denorms be preserved by several
instructions that don't perform any mathematical operations (internal

Change log for March 3, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.102 spec update:
* Update release number to 102.
Public Issues:
* Simplify flink:vkGetImageMemoryRequirements constraint for
ename:VK_MEMORY_PROPERTY_LAZILY_ALLOCATED_BIT (public pull request 817).
* Fix typo in markup of the <<textures-texel-coordinate-systems-diagrams,
Texel Coordinate Systems, Corner Sampling>> image that was generating
complaints from chunked HTML output generation (public pull request
928).
Internal Issues:
* Split the old <<features, Features>> chapter into four chapters:
<<features, Features>>, <<limits, Limits>>, <<formats, Formats>>, and
<<capabilities, Capabilities>>, with minor edits to the introductory
paragraph of each chapter. Anchor names in these chapters were changed,
with corresponding effects to xrefs to these anchors elsewhere in spec
markup . The purpose is to make the chunked HTML spec output load faster
on what was previously a single, gigantic chapter (internal issue 1554).
* Add ename:VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_RAY_TRACING_SHADER_BIT_NV, to the supported
pipeline stages for ename:VK_ACCESS_UNIFORM_READ,
ename:VK_ACCESS_SHADER_READ, and ename:VK_ACCESS_SHADER_WRITE in the
<<synchronization-access-types-supported>> table.
* Correct legal name of Google, LLC in vk.xml \<tags> section and a
copyright statement.
* Clarify that Vulkan treats the Android
code:AHARDWAREBUFFER_FORMAT_R8G8B8X8_UNORM format as RGBA, and the
application is responsible for forcing the X/A component to be read as
1.0, in the <<memory-external-android-hardware-buffer-formats>> table.
* Clarify the vertex order of various primitive topologies, and define the
order of transform feedback vertex capture based on that. This involves
a lot of refactoring and cleanup in the <<drawing-primitive-topologies,
Primitive Topologies>>, <<geometry-input, Geometry Shader Input
Primitives>> sections, and <<vertexpostproc-transform-feedback Transform
Feedback>> sections, and numerous places in the <<tessellation>>

Change log for February 17, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.101 spec update:
* Update release number to 101.
Public Issues:
* Make clear that memory types for imported host memory must be host
visible in slink:VkMemoryHostPointerPropertiesEXT.txt (public issue
897).
* Make <<interfaces-resources-layout, WARNING block>> into a NOTE block,
per the styleguide (public pull request 916).
Internal Issues:
* Make <<textures-output-format-conversion, computation of derivatives in
non-uniform flow control>> have undefined behavior (internal issue
1367).
* Make behavior, not just values, undefined for
<<textures-layout-validation, reads from inconsistent YCbCr layouts>>
(internal issue 1366).
* Consolidate version and extension behavior documentation in the
<<extended-functionality, Extended Functionality>> appendix, While a
great deal of text was moved from other parts of the Specification into
the appendix, this just serves to simplify and make consistent
discussions of versions and extensions (internal issue 1473).
* Add limits for slink:VkPhysicalDeviceRayTracingPropertiesNV in the
<<features-limits-types, Required Limit Types>> and
<<features-limits-required, Required Limits>> tables (internal issue
1511).
* Disallow <<memory-protected-memory, indirect calls within protected
command buffers>> by adding valid usage statements for the related
indirect dispatch and draw commands (internal issue 1513).
* Add valid usage stataements to slink:VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo,
slink:VkSubpassDescription, slink:VkSubpassDescription2KHR,
slink:VkSubpassDescriptionDepthStencilResolveKHR, and
slink:VkImageViewCreateInfo preventing the creation of a renderpass with
attachments in formats that are not supported for rendering (internal
issue 1552).
* Qualify valid usage statements for
slink:VkAttachmentReference::pname:layout parameter so restrictions only
apply if an attachment is ename:VK_ATTACHMENT_UNUSED (internal issue
1561).
* Add valid usage statement for flink:vkCmdDrawIndirectByteCountEXT
restricting pname:vertexStride to be positive (internal issue 1566).
* Make the `VK_EXT_sample_locations` extension depend on
`VK_KHR_get_physical_device_properties2` in `vk.xml`.
* Rearrange and simplify the <<interfaces-resources-layout, block layout
rules>>.
New Extensions:
* `VK_NV_cooperative_matrix`
* `VK_EXT_depth_clip_enable` (internal issue 1485).

* Remove `readme.txt` reference from `xml/README.adoc` (public pull
request 907).
* Add missing slink:VkShaderResourceUsageAMD to the <<Vk_AMD_shader_info>>
appendix (public pull request 908).
* Fix markup for <<VK_EXT_filter_cubic>> appendix (public pull request
911).
* Fix typo "`attachment`" (public pull request 914).
* Alias the enums for `VK_IMG_filter_cubic` properly to the corresponding
`VK_EXT_filter_cubic` enums, so they appear in the corresponding
enumerated types, instead of as #defines (Vulkan-Headers issue 40).
Internal Issues:
* Remove nested conditionals in valid usage statements for
slink:VkFramebufferCreateInfo and flink:vkCmdPipelineBarrier by
duplicating statements along ifdef/ifndef paths for
VK_KHR_depth_stencil_resolve (internal issue 1527).
* Clarify allowed values of <<spirv-precision-operation, SPIR-V operations
near infinity>>. For very large results of operations the allowed range
of return values as defined in the spec didn't include the largest
finite number. In some rounding modes (eg. RTZ) the largest finite
number is the correctly rounded result, so it should be allowed.
* Require descriptor types to match in slink:VkCopyDescriptorSet.

* Document restrictions on image queries for Y'CbCr formats in the
<<features-formats-requiring-sampler-ycbcr-conversion>> table as well as
for slink:sname:VkImageFormatProperties and slink:VkImageCreateInfo
(internal issue 1361).
* Correct type of the code:FragSizeEXT built-in in the
<<interfaces-builtin-variables, Built-In Variables>> section (internal
issue 1526).
* Clean up math in the <<textures, Image Operations>> chapter by
refactoring, using better naming conventions, updating diagrams to use

Change log for January 13, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.98 spec update:
* Update release number to 98.
Public Issues:
* Fix missing markup in flink:vkDestroyPipelineLayout valid usage
statement (pull request 882).
* Add missing contributors for `<<VK_EXT_buffer_device_address>>` (public
pull request 891).
Internal Issues:
* Detect nested bullet points in valid usage blocks and warn about them
during VUID assignment (internal issue 1382).
* Update the style guide to document the process for reserving new bits in
bitmask types (internal issue 1411).
* Clarify for slink:VkApplicationInfo::pname:apiVersion and in the
<<fundamentals-validusage-versions, Valid Usage for Newer Core
Versions>> section when it is valid for an application to use a certain
version of Vulkan API functionality (for an instance and for a
device/physical device); and when the validation layers must generate an
error (internal issue 1412).
* Add optional <<memory-model-availability-visibility, transitive
availability/visibility operations to the memory model, including a new
pname:vulkanMemoryModelAvailabilityVisibilityChains feature for
slink:VkPhysicalDeviceVulkanMemoryModelFeaturesKHR (internal issue
1460).
* Add the code:StorageBuffer storage class to those in the
<<interfaces-resources-descset, Descriptor Set Interface>> (internal
issue 1480).
* Add missing `returnedonly` tags for a number of returned extension
structures that can be passed in pname:pNext chains (internal issue
1515).
* Clean up and rearrange some spec language for

(internal issue 1522).
* Correctly round the code:OpVectorTimesScalar and
code:OpMatrixTimesScalar SPIR-V operations in the <<Precision of core
SPIR-V Instructions>> table (internal merge request 2996).
* Work around cases in flink:vkCmdBeginTransformFeedbackEXT,
flink:vkCmdEndTransformFeedbackEXT, and
slink:VkPipelineCoverageModulationStateCreateInfoNV where an array
parameter is `optional` but the length is not in `vk.xml`. This is an
interim fix using `noautovalidity` + handcoded VU replacing those that
should be autogenerated (internal issue 2944 and
https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-ValidationLayers/issues/480).
* Remove redundant capability validation of the code:float16 and code:int8
SPIR-V capabilities from the <<spirvenv-capabilities, Capabilities>>
section, since they are already covered in the preceding table.
* Update check_spec_links script, including validation for reference page
open blocks. Fix errors identified by the script.

(public issue 763).
* Cleanup `VK_NV_ray_tracing` language (public issues 858, 859).
Internal Issues:
* Specify in <<shaders-invocationgroups, Invocation and Derivative
Groups>> and <<textures-output-format-conversion, Texel Output Format
Conversion>> that derivative groups are quads when code:SubgroupSize >=
4 (internal issue 1390).
* Make the type of slink:VkDescriptorUpdateTemplateCreateInfo::pNext
`const` following pattern for the other stext:Vk*CreateInfo structures

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.

Change log for November 4, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.91 spec update:
* Update release number to 91.
Public Issues:
* Update Ubuntu subsystem build instructions in `BUILD.adoc` (public pull
request 624).
* Delete the `VK_KHR_mir_surface` extension from the Specification and
XML, due to EOL of the only driver known to have supported it, and
near-EOL of Mir itself (public issue 814).
* Fix options for some figures that were using old ones (public pull
request 841).
* Fix various accidentally repeated words (public pull request 843).
* Use `time.process_time()`, introduced in Python 3.3, in the scripts
instead of `time.clock()`, which will be removed in Python 3.8 (public
pull request 844).
Internal Issues:
* Update valid usage statements for
`VK_ANDROID_external_memory_android_hardware_buffer` in
slink:VkMemoryAllocateInfo,
slink:VkImportAndroidHardwareBufferInfoANDROID, and
flink:vkGetAndroidHardwareBufferPropertiesANDROID to actually be
verifiable (internal issue 1419).
* Update valid usage statements for
`VK_ANDROID_external_memory_android_hardware_buffer` in
slink:VkMemoryAllocateInfo, slink:VkImageCreateInfo, and
slink:VkImageViewCreateInfo to move valid usage statements in
doubly-nested bullet points up one level, accomodating limitations of
the valid usage extraction script that creates `validusage.json`
(internal issue 1434).
* Fix typo etext:VK_ACCESS_SHADING_RATE_IMAGE_BIT_NV to the correct
ename:VK_ACCESS_SHADING_RATE_IMAGE_READ_BIT_NV.

Change log for October 13, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.88 spec update:
* Update release number to 88.
Public Issues:
* Make clear that
tname:PFN_vkDebugUtilsMessengerCallbackEXT::pname:messageTypes is a
bitmask, and correct a typo in the spelling of
slink:VkDebugUtilsMessengerCreateInfoEXT.txt::pname:messageType (public
pull request 800).
* Make an ABI-compatible change of the type of
slink:VkPhysicalDeviceDriverPropertiesKHR::pname:driverID to use the new
elink:VkDriverIdKHR type (public issue 811).
Internal Issues:
* Clarify for the <<features-features-shaderStorageImageExtendedFormats>>
feature and in the <<spirvenv-capabilities-table>> that the feature
means that all of the formats are supported, and that otherwise the
features can be queried per-format (internal issue 1273).
* Clarified interactions of `VK_EXT_external_memory_host` with host cache
management commands and structures flink:vkMapMemory,
flink:vkFlushMappedMemoryRanges, slink:VkMappedMemoryRange, and
flink:vkUnmapMemory using the new glossary term "`Host Mapped Device
Memory`" (internal issue 1385).
* Update the language for flink:vkCreateViSurfaceNN.txt describing the
pname:currentExtent of a VI surface to more accurately reflect current
capabilities, replacing "`undefined`" with more explicit behavior
(internal issue 1410).

* `VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps`
* `VK_EXT_image_drm_format_modifier` (this extension was previously
disabled in vk.xml, and has now been enabled after some changes to fix
performance issues).
* `VK_EXT_pci_bus_info`
* `VK_EXT_transform_feedback`
* `VK_GOOGLE_hlsl_functionality1`, exposing support for
`SPV_GOOGLE_hlsl_functionality1`.

Change log for October 7, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.87 spec update:
* Update release number to 87.
Public Issues:
* Merge flink:vkCmdPipelineBarrier self-dependency barrier VUs referring

* Describe default value of `"optional"` attribute in the registry schema
document (public issue 769)
* Fix links in <<VK_NVX_raytracing>> extension (public pull request 805).
* Mark the <<VK_KHR_mir_surface>> extension obsolete (see public issue 814
- does not close this, however).
* Fix missing endif in Image Creation block (public issue 817).
Internal Issues:
* Clarify that the compressed texture formats corresponding to
<<features-features-textureCompressionETC2>>,
<<features-features-textureCompressionASTC_LDR>>, and
<<features-features-textureCompressionBC>> is not contingent on the
feature bits, and may be supported even if the features are not enabled
(internal issue 663).
* Clarify that code:FragStencilRefEXT is output only in the
<<interfaces-builtin-variables, Built-In Variables>> section (internal
issue 1173).
* Identify and correct many overly-aggressive uses of "`undefined`", and
narrow them down, where straightforward to do so. Mark such resolved
uses of "`undefined`" with the custom undefined: macro. Add a new
<<writing-undefined, Describing Undefined Behavior>> section (internal
issue 1267).
* Don't require code:inline_uniform_block descriptors to be populated
before use in the flink:vkAllocateDescriptorSets section (internal issue
1380).
* Allow suppressing inline SVG images by controlling this with an
attribute set in the Makefile, rather than the explicit [%inline]
directive (internal issue 1391).
* Mark 'Khronos' as a registered trademark in several places, now that it
is one.
* Fix typo in the <<VK_KHR_shader_atomic_int64>> appendix using the GLSL
naming of the compare exchange op when referring to the SPIR-V op.
* Specify in the flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceQueueFamilyProperties section
that all implementations must support at least one queue family, and
that every queue family must contain at least one queue.
* Make slink:VkPipelineDynamicStateCreateInfo::pname:dynamicStateCount,
slink:VkSampleLocationsInfoEXT::pname:sampleLocationsPerPixel, and
slink:VkSampleLocationsInfoEXT::pname:sampleLocationsCount optional, to
fix bogus implicit valid usage checks that were causing failures in the
conformance tests.
* Fix vendor tag in reserved extension 237 constants. Does not affect
anything since it's just a placeholder, but this should avoid further
comments.
* Minor markup fixes in some extension appendices.
New Extensions:
* `<<VK_FUCHSIA_imagepipe_surface>>`

Change log for September 29, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.86 spec update:
* Update release number to 86.
Internal Issues:
* Add new <<resources-image-creation-limits, Image Creation Limits>>
section and reference that from valid usage statements, reducing
combinatorial complexity of extension-dependent VUs. Also fixes some
underspecified limits (such as pname:maxMipLevels) in the VUs for
slink:VkImageCreateInfo when
slink:VkExternalMemoryImageCreateInfo::pname:externalMemoryHandles
contains multiple bits, and fixes incorrectly (and underspecified)
limits when an Android external format is used (internal issue 1370).
* Remove unused "`Fragment Area Granularity`" glossary entry accidentally
introduced in the 1.1.85 update.
New Extensions:
* `VK_KHR_driver_properties`
* `VK_KHR_shader_atomic_int64`
* The specification sources contain text for another extension,
`VK_EXT_image_drm_format_modifier`, but this extension is not yet
complete, and is marked disabled in `vk.xml`. The extension will be
enabled, and become part of the spec, only when the authors decide it is
ready.

* Reserve bits for pending vendor extensions.
* Make Vulkan consistent with SPIR-V regarding code:DepthReplacing and
code:FragDepth in the <<interfaces-builtin-variables, Built-In
Variables>> section.
* Add missing ChangeLog entries for the previous three spec updates.

Change log for July 30, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.82 spec update:
* Update release number to 82.
Public Issues:
* Add flink:vkDestroyPipelineLayout valid usage statement that the layout
must not have been used with command buffers still in the recording
state (public issue 730).
* Correct \<unused> tag for elink:VkResult in `vk.xml` (public merge
request 746).
Internal Issues:
* Add a valid usage statement to flink:vkQueueSubmit, and similar language
to the definitions of <<synchronization-queue-transfers-acquire, acquire
operations>> requiring that an acquire operation follow a previous
release of the same subresource (internal issue 1290).
* Add <<resources-image-format-features,Image Format Features>> and
<<resources-image-view-format-features,Image View Format Features>>
sections that precisely define the slink:VkFormatFeatures supported by
images and image views, and rewrite valid usage statements to reference
these sections instead of duplicating language (internal issue 1310).
* Reword and consolidate synchronization valid usage statements for
flink:vkCmdPipelineBarrier such that they correctly account for mutiple
possible self-dependencies (internal issue 1322).
* Change order of <<Standard sample locations>> for 2xMSAA (internal issue
1347).
* Add definitions of "`<<Correctly Rounded>>`" and "`<<ULP>>`" in the

Change log for July 1, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.79 spec update:
* Update release number to 79.
Public Issues:
* Add a note to the <<features-required-format-support, Required Format
Support>> section clarifying that the required formats don't depend on
the used flags (public issue 671).
* Add a valid usage statement for flink:vkUpdateDescriptors that was
previously described for slink:VkImageSubresourceRange, but not as a
valid usage statement (public issue 713).
* Modify implicit valid usage generator script to not emit 'must: not be
0' for a parameter that is a pointer to a flags field, such as
pname:pPeerMemoryFeatures (public issue 729).
Internal Issues:
* Add definitions of "`obsoleted`" and "`deprecated`", and modify the
definition of "`promoted`" in the <<glossary, Glossary>> (internal issue
988).
* Add language for integer texel output conversions (the conversion is
undefined) to the <<textures-output-format-conversion]] Texel Output
Format Conversion>> section. Simplify and clarify the floating-point
conversion language in the <<fundamentals-general, General
Requirements>> section and the new <<fundamentals-fp-conversion,
Floating-Point Format Conversions>> section, and remove obsolete
language in the format-specific floating-point sections (internal issue
1275).
* Add the elink:VkVendorId enumerated type to the Vulkan API / XML /
header, so reserved Khronos vendor IDs can be referred to symbolically
by clients. Note that only Khronos vendor IDs (e.g. non-PCI vendor IDs)
are defined (internal issue 1299).
* Fix typo in the <<fig-non-strict-lines, Non strict lines>> table
(internal issue 1315).
* Clean up and simplify the
<<features-formats-requiring-sampler-ycbcr-conversion, YCbCr format
properties>> table and use symbols consistently with other tables. Add a
column for the number of planes.
* Add code:Float16 to the <<spirvenv-capabilities-table, List of optional
SPIR-V capabilities>> for the `VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float` extension.

Change log for June 10, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.77 spec update:
* Update release number to 77.
Public Issues:
* Remove redundant asciidoctor ifdef in slink:VkDeviceCreateInfo valid
usage statement (public pull request 718).
Internal Issues:
* Require that the returned slink:VkMemoryRequirements::pname:alignment
reflect the minimum alignment requirements for the buffer's usages, and
make dynamic offset alignment valid usage more explicit for
flink:vkBindBufferMemory and flink:vkCmdBindDescriptorSets (internal
issue 1170).
* Explicitly state that objects of type code:OpTypeImage,
code:OpTypeSampler, and code:OpTypeSampledImage must not be stored to in
the <<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a Module>>
section (internal issue 1262).
* Clarify rules about validating descriptor set/binding against storage
class and descriptor type in the <<spirvenv-module-validation,
Validation Rules within a Module>> section, and add an anchor for and
references to the <<interfaces-resources-storage-class-correspondence,
Shader Resource and Storage Class Correspondence>> table (internal issue
1266).
* Use correct spelling of SPIR-V decoration code:NonWritable in several
places (internal issue 1298).
Other Issues:
* Update specification links to files in the old
KhronosGroup/Vulkan-LoaderAndValidationLayers repository with
corresponding links into the new repositories that replace it.
* Move validity requirement for slink:VkSamplerCreateInfo into the valid
usage block instead of the body text, and give it a VUID.
* Use the full name of the "`style guide`" in a reference in the
description of slink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties, update the
<<vulkan-styleguide, link to that document>>, and use the the full name
in the registry index page.

Change log for May 25, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.76 spec update:
* Update release number to 76.
Internal Issues:
* Add an exception clause to the license on `vk.xml`, enabling its use
with GPL-based projects (internal issue 1017).

supported. Add `src/ext_loader/README.md` explaining why, and update
files in `xml/` to not generate them by default (internal issue 1268)
Other Issues:
* Fix typos in valid usage statements for the
ftext:vkDrawIndexedIndirectCount* commands, replacing
sizeof(VkDrawIndirectComment) with sizeof(VkDrawIndexedIndirectCommand).
* Modify the <<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a
Module>> section to require code:NonReadable or code:NonWriteable in
SPIR-V code for images with an image format of code:Unknown if one of
the requisite code:shaderImageReadWithoutFormat or
code:shaderImageWriteWithoutFormat features is disabled.
New Extensions:
* `VK_KHR_get_display_properties2`
* `VK_KHR_draw_indirect_count`

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.

Change log for March 5, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.72 spec update:
* Update release number to 72.
Github Issues:
* Restructure the repository to put the specification `Makefile` and
associated spec source material at the top level, `vk.xml` and
associated scripts material in `xml/`, and generated include and source
files in `include/vulkan/` and `src/ext_loader/`, respectively (public
issue 436).
* Add missing bullet point markup to flink:vkCmdCopyImage valid usage
statement, so it gets a VUID assigned (public issue 627).
* Fix broken links in a couple of extension appendices (public pull
request 665).
* Add the \<platform> tag to the index in section 4.1 of the registry
schema documentation, and add the protect= attribute of \<extension>
tags to the comments in `registry.rnc` (public issues 673, 678).
* Add missing valid usage statements for sparse image interactions to
flink:VkImageCreateInfo (public pull request 675).
* Fix improper usage and grammar of "`can: not`" (public pull request
681).
* Remove duplicate spec language and NOTE on present layout between the
flink:vkAcquireNextImageKHR and flink:vkAcquireNextImage2KHR commands
(public pull request 685).
* Fix some typos and markup issues (public pull request 689; public issues
642, 667, 687).
* Fix typo etext:VK_EXTERNAL_SEMAPHORE_HANDLE_TYPE_FENCE_FD_BIT ->
ename:VK_EXTERNAL_SEMAPHORE_HANDLE_TYPE_SYNC_FD_BIT in the
<<external-semaphore-handle-types-compatibility, External semaphore
handle types compatibility>> table (public pull request 691).
Internal Issues:
* Remove the need for the "`noautovalidity`" attribute on extension
structures in `vk.xml`. It is now implied by the "`structextends`"
attribute instead (internal issue 942).
* Replace uses of "`currently bound`" with "`bound`", since "`currently`"
is redundant and distracting, and add a corresponding rule to the style
guide (internal issue 993).
* Fixed subtle issues with the last updates to flink:vkAcquireNextImageKHR
language that had resulted in ambiguities (internal issue 1178).
* Make it clear that only one query of a given type is allowed at a time
by reordering valid usage statements for flink:vkCmdBeginQuery and
flink:vkCmdEndQuery, and removing redundant ones (internal issue 1213).
* Swapped OL1 and OL3 in `tessparamUL.svg` to match previous version, and
fixed where "`(no edge)`" appears (internal issue 1215).
Other Issues:
* Fixed a minor problem with the valid usage statement extraction script,
and corresponding markup in the spec source.
New Extensions:
* `VK_AMD_shader_core_properties`
* `VK_EXT_descriptor_indexing`
* `VK_NV_shader_subgroup_partitioned`
