* Update release number to 106.
Public Issues:
* Add searchbox and generate search index for the chunked HTML target.
Note that doing this requires several new toolchain components to build
the `chunked` target (public issue 578 / internal issue 1352).
* Remove descriptions of flink:vkCreateSampler sampler constraints which
were repeated in the valid usage statements (public pull request 648).
* Fix sense of conditional around a valid usage statement in the
<<copies>> chapter (public issue 942).
Internal Issues:
* Add missing pname:extent.width and pname:extent.height valid usage
statements for flink:vkCmdClearAttachments (internal issue 1583).
* Fix some inconsistencies in structures and corresponding pname:sType
enumerant names by renaming
sname:VkPhysicalDeviceShaderDrawParameterFeatures ->
slink:slink:VkPhysicalDeviceShaderDrawParametersFeatures;
sname:VkPhysicalDeviceVariablePointerFeatures ->
slink:VkPhysicalDeviceVariablePointerFeatures;
sname:VkPhysicalDeviceVariablePointerFeaturesKHR ->
slink:VkPhysicalDeviceVariablePointerFeaturesKHR;
sname:VkPhysicalDeviceBufferAddressFeaturesEXT ->
slink:VkPhysicalDeviceBufferDeviceAddressFeaturesEXT;
etext:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_SHADER_DRAW_PARAMETER_FEATURES
->
ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_SHADER_DRAW_PARAMETERS_FEATURES;
etext:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_VARIABLE_POINTER_FEATURES ->
ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_VARIABLE_POINTERS_FEATURES;
etext:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_VARIABLE_POINTER_FEATURES_KHR ->
ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_VARIABLE_POINTERS_FEATURES_KHR;
and etext:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_BUFFER_ADDRESS_FEATURES_EXT
->
ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_BUFFER_DEVICE_ADDRESS_FEATURES_EXT.
The old names are still available as aliases for backwards
compatibility. This change required introducing valid XML markup which
externally written XML processing scripts may need to be modified to
accomodate, to support multiple aliases of a single command or token
name (internal issue 1592).
* Add slink:VkDevice as the first parameter to flink:vkSetLocalDimmingAMD
(internal issue 1618).
* Improve CI header compilation tests to test all Vulkan platform
includes, using fake platform headers where needed, and change the
`allchecks` Makefile target to use the more comprehensive
`check_spec_links.py` script instead of the retired `checkinc` and
`checklinks` targets.
* Move descriptions of the ASTC compressed texture decode mode from the
<<appendix-compressedtex-astc,appendix>> to the recently updated
external Khronos Data Format Specification.
* Fix minor markup and spelling issues in the `VK_NV_ray_tracing`
extension.
* 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.
* Add missing etext:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_* tokens to appendices for
extensions missing them.
New Extensions:
* `VK_AMD_memory_overallocation_behavior`
* `VK_NV_ray_tracing`, replacing `VK_NVX_raytracing`
