* Update release number to 73.
Github Issues:
* Refine swapchain association with surface for slink:VkSwapchainKHR, with
matching valid usage statements for slink:VkSwapchainCreateInfoKHR and
discussion following the <<swapchain-wsi-image-create-info>> table
(public issue 637).
* Re-remove several valid usage statements from slink:VkImageCreateInfo
that had previously been removed at the time that
ename:VK_IMAGE_CREATE_EXTENDED_USAGE_BIT was introduced. These
statements had incorrectly been restored due to an glitch while merging
from the old `1.0` branch to the current `master` branch (public issue
683).
Internal Issues:
* Fix reference page generation and configure build to generate reference
pages 1.1 with all extensions, rather than core only, as was the case
for the 1.0 ref pages (internal issues 484, 1056, 1205).
* Require that
slink:VkMemoryDedicatedRequirements::pname:prefersDedicateAllocation is
ename:VK_TRUE when
slink:VkMemoryDedicatedRequirements::pname:requiresDedicateAllocation is
ename:VK_TRUE (internal issue 1222).
* Fix Ruby extension code so `diff_html` Makefile target works (internal
issue 1230).
* Update `genRelease` script to generate 1.1 + all extensions reference
pages - but not the single-page HTML / PDF versions, which are even
larger than the API spec (internal issue 1245).
Other Issues:
* Add missing attributes to `vk.xml` for `VK_ANDROID_native_buffer`.
* Specify that the slink:VkAttachmentDescription::pname:format member is
the format of the image *view* that will be used for the attachment.
* Use core sname:VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 in the `structextends` `vk.xml`
attribute for sname:VkPhysicalDeviceDescriptorIndexingFeaturesEXT and
sname:VkPhysicalDeviceDescriptorIndexingPropertiesEXT, rather than the
KHR equivalent it was promoted from.
* Fix the "`Fragment Input Attachment Interface`" glossary entry to match
the specification body.
* Clarify the interaction of sRGB images used as storage or texel buffers
with <<textures-output-format-conversion, Texel Output Format
Conversion>>.
* Moved three valid usage statements from
slink:VkRenderPassMultiviewCreateInfo up to
slink:VkRenderPassCreateInfo, and added a new valid usage statement for
slink:VkRenderPassInputAttachmentAspectCreateInfo.
* Added valid usage statements for slink:VkBufferMemoryBarrier and
slink:VkImageMemoryBarrier reflecting the global requirement that
"`non-sparse resources must be bound to memory before being recorded to
command`".
New Extensions:
- requires impls to honor resolution in #659
- addresses some confusion in Vulkan-LoaderAndValidationLayers/#2366
- require impls to support dependencies
- previously VU exluded if 1.1 or VK_KHR_device_group,
but if swapchain ext. not defined memory param should
be valid too =>
now excluded iff VK_KHR_swapchain is defined too
- make **must** statement a proper VU
- fix sentence saying only one swapchain can be associated
- fix languge saying **must** not instead of **cannot**
- clarify all the cases when swapcahin cannot be created
* 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`
associated material at the top level, vk.xml and associated material in
xml/, and generated include and source files in include/vulkan/ and
src/ext_loader/, respectively (public issue 436).
