* Update release number to 89.
Public Issues:
* Clarify the reference to <<features-limits-mipmapPrecisionBits, mipmap
precision bits>> in the <<textures-image-level-selection, Image Level(s)
Selection>> section (public issue 660).
* Update <<debugging-object-types,VkObjectType and Vulkan Handle
Relationship>> table with missing types (public pull request 820).
* Miscellaneous minor markup cleanup (public pull request 822).
* Fix copy/paste bugs in the description of how implicit
availability/visibility operations for atomics/barriers are ordered in
the <<memory-model-availability-visibility-semantics, Availability and
Visibility Semantics>> section (public issue 823).
* Add missing shading_rate_image bit from mesh pipeline list in the
<<synchronization-pipeline-stages-types>> list (public issue 824).
Internal Issues:
* Clarify that only statically used members of a push constant block need
to be in the push constant range, and stop referring to block members as
"`variables`" in the <<interfaces-resources-pushconst, Push Constant
Interface>> section. This is related to
https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-ValidationLayers/issues/340
(internal issue 1401).
* Clarify interaction between flink:vkCmdSetDeviceMask and render pass
control commands in the slink:VkDeviceGroupRenderPassBeginInfo section
(internal issue 1416).
* Miscellaneous minor markup cleanup.
* Remove types defined by `"disabled"` extensions from
validextensionstructs in the XML processing scripts, so downstream code
generators don't emit them.
* 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).
New Extensions:
* `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`.
* `VK_GOOGLE_decorate_string`, exposing support for
`SPV_GOOGLE_decorate_string`.
