Jon Leech 40ba6e9a44 Change log for May 13, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.108 spec update:
* Update release number to 108.

Internal Issues:

  * Clarify that only external resources can be bound to external memory in
    valid usage statements for flink:vkBindBufferMemory,
    flink:vkBindImageMemory, slink:VkSparseMemoryBind, and
    slink:VkSparseImageMemoryBind (internal issue 1496).
  * Move all `vk.xml`requirements for
    flink:vkGetDeviceGroupSurfacePresentModes2EXT into
    `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` (internal issue 1622).
  * Add some missing valid usage statements for
    flink:vkCmdEndQueryIndexedEXT (internal issue 1638).
  * Specify rules for defining "`New Flags and Bitmask Types`" in that
    section of the style guide (internal issue 1649).
  * Add a comment to the `vk.xml` extension block for
    `VK_ANDROID_native_buffer` explaining why the extension is tagged
    `"disabled"` (internal issue 1657).
  * Fix typos in the description of slink:VkImageViewCreateInfo (internal
    issue 1661).
  * Modify valid usage statements for slink:VkImageViewCreateInfo to fix the
    description about the restriction for pname:baseArrayLayer and
    pname:layerCount from pname:extent.depth to the depth of mipmap level
    while creating a 2D array image view on a 3D image.
  * Forbid structures that contain opaque types (images or samplers) in the
    SPIR-V <<spirvenv-module-validation, Validation Rules within a Module>>
    section.
  * Minor editorial changes for the `VK_EXT_swapchain_colorspace` extension
    in the description of slink:VkColorSpace KHR and `vk.xml`, including:
  ** Consistently specify which function (OETF or Inverse-EOTF) is being
     defined;
  ** Remove the Display P3 EOTF, since no other EOTFs are defined;
  ** Include luminance range for the HLG OETF;
  ** Remove a duplicated paragraph; and,
  ** Rename ename:VK_COLOR_SPACE_DISPLAY_P3_LINEAR_EXT, leaving the old
     ename:VK_COLOR_SPACE_DCI_P3_LINEAR_EXT token as an alias.

New Extensions:

  * `<<VK_NV_framebuffer_mixed_samples_coverage_reduction_mode>>`
  * `<<VK_KHR_uniform_buffer_standard_layout>>`

=== Short Description
Enables tighter array and struct packing to be used with uniform buffers.
=== Description
This extension modifies the alignment rules for uniform buffers, allowing
for tighter packing of arrays and structures.
This allows, for example, the std430 layout, as defined in
https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL/specs/gl/GLSLangSpec.4.60.pdf[GLSL]
to be supported in uniform buffers.
=== New Enum Constants
* Extending elink:VkStructureType:
** ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_UNIFORM_BUFFER_STANDARD_LAYOUT_FEATURES_KHR
=== New Structures
* slink:VkPhysicalDeviceUniformBufferStandardLayoutFeaturesKHR
=== Issues
None.
=== Version History
* Revision 1, 2019-01-25 (Graeme Leese)
