* Update release number to 107.
Public Issues:
* Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix
(public issue 617).
* Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies,
subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777).
* Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on
`<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849).
* Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the
Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still
present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the
single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full
Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support
and publish at present (public issue 949).
Internal Issues:
* De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands
or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning
part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're
being applied to (internal issue 779).
* Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as
platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them
This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order
to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue
888).
* Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to
use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`,
increasing legibility (internal issue 1611).
* Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path,
fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630).
* Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`.
* Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on
Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107).
* Add missing conditionals around the
<<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>>
section (internal merge request 3108).
* More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge
request 3109).
* Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and
`<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and
the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112).
New Extensions:
* `<<VK_EXT_headless_surface>>`
* 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 99.
Public Issues:
* Add missing pname:pMemoryHostPointerProperties description to
flink:vkGetMemoryHostPointerPropertiesEXT.txt (public pull request 896).
* Minor markup fixes (public pull request 900).
* Minor update to `khronos.css` and markup fixes (originally proposed in
public pull request 901, but done via an internal MR).
Internal Issues:
* 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
the correct orientation, etc. (internal merge request 2968).
* Fix minor typos for slink:VkImageCreateInfo and
slink:VkImageStencilUsageCreateInfoEXT.
* Add missing documentation for tlink:VkResolveModeFlagsKHR.
* Fix extension dependency of pname:scalarBlockLayout in the
<<features-features-requirements, Feature Requirements>> section.
* Fix indexing math for shader binding table calculations in the
<<shader-binding-table-indexing-rules, Indexing Rules>> section, and use
spelling "`any-hit`" consistently.
* Reconcile valid usage statement and text for sampled image layouts in
slink:VkWriteDescriptorSet
(https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-ValidationLayers/issues/551).
* Make SPIR-V code:OpConvertUToPtr and code:OpConvertPtrToU operations
require a 64-bit integer for physical storage buffer pointers in the
<<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a Module>>
section.
* Update to KaTeX 10.0.
New Extensions:
* `VK_EXT_filter_cubic`
* `VK_NV_dedicated_allocation_image_aliasing`
* Update release number to 95.
Public Issues:
* Fix valid usage and XML issues found in public issues 789 and 790 for
the `VK_EXT_debug_utils` extension (public pull request 794).
* Replace references to `VK_NV_dedicated_allocation` with links to the
corresponding slink:slink:VkMemoryDedicatedRequirements and
slink:slink:VkMemoryDedicatedAllocateInfo structures in the description
of elink:VkExternalMemoryFeatureFlagBits (public issue 801).
* Fix miscellaneous minor markup and spelling issues in
`VK_NV_ray_tracing` extension (public pull request 860).
* Remove "returnedonly" from XML for
slink:VkPhysicalDeviceInlineUniformBlockFeaturesEXT and
slink:VkPhysicalDeviceVulkanMemoryModelFeaturesKHR (public issue 862).
Internal Issues:
* Add to the description of the
<<features-limits-maxComputeSharedMemorySize,
pname:maxCompureSharedMemorySize>> feature to state the shared variables
should be packed at least as tightly as std430 (internal issue 1386).
* Fix and clarify various references to image and image view usage in
flink:vkCmdBindShadingRateImageNV, flink:vkCmdBeginRenderPass, and
slink:VkImageStencilUsageCreateInfoEXT (internal issue 1432).
* Require that the slink:VkImage mipmap chain match the Android hardware
buffer mipmap chain for slink:VkMemoryAllocateInfo (internal issue
1479).
* Fix the definition of slink:VkSwapchainCreateInfoKHR valid usage
statement 01778 (Vulkan-ValidationLayers!15)
* Fix descriptions of <<interfaces-builtin-variables-launchid,
code:LaunchIDNV>> and <<interfaces-builtin-variables-launchsize,
code:LaunchSizeNV>> to code:uvec3.
New Extensions:
* `VK_KHR_shader_float16_int8`
* `VK_KHR_shader_float_controls`
* 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`
