Jon Leech f1a7c4b4f3 Change log for January 13, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.98 spec update:
* Update release number to 98.

Public Issues:

  * Fix missing markup in flink:vkDestroyPipelineLayout valid usage
    statement (pull request 882).
  * Add missing contributors for `<<VK_EXT_buffer_device_address>>` (public
    pull request 891).

Internal Issues:

  * Detect nested bullet points in valid usage blocks and warn about them
    during VUID assignment (internal issue 1382).
  * Update the style guide to document the process for reserving new bits in
    bitmask types (internal issue 1411).
  * Clarify for slink:VkApplicationInfo::pname:apiVersion and in the
    <<fundamentals-validusage-versions, Valid Usage for Newer Core
    Versions>> section when it is valid for an application to use a certain
    version of Vulkan API functionality (for an instance and for a
    device/physical device); and when the validation layers must generate an
    error (internal issue 1412).
  * Add optional <<memory-model-availability-visibility, transitive
    availability/visibility operations to the memory model, including a new
    pname:vulkanMemoryModelAvailabilityVisibilityChains feature for
    slink:VkPhysicalDeviceVulkanMemoryModelFeaturesKHR (internal issue
    1460).
  * Add the code:StorageBuffer storage class to those in the
    <<interfaces-resources-descset, Descriptor Set Interface>> (internal
    issue 1480).
  * Add missing `returnedonly` tags for a number of returned extension
    structures that can be passed in pname:pNext chains (internal issue
    1515).
  * Clean up and rearrange some spec language for
    slink:VkRenderPassCreateInfo and slink:VkAttachmentReference.txt
    (internal issue 1522).
  * Correctly round the code:OpVectorTimesScalar and
    code:OpMatrixTimesScalar SPIR-V operations in the <<Precision of core
    SPIR-V Instructions>> table (internal merge request 2996).
  * Work around cases in flink:vkCmdBeginTransformFeedbackEXT,
    flink:vkCmdEndTransformFeedbackEXT, and
    slink:VkPipelineCoverageModulationStateCreateInfoNV where an array
    parameter is `optional` but the length is not in `vk.xml`. This is an
    interim fix using `noautovalidity` + handcoded VU replacing those that
    should be autogenerated (internal issue 2944 and
    https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-ValidationLayers/issues/480).
  * Remove redundant capability validation of the code:float16 and code:int8
    SPIR-V capabilities from the <<spirvenv-capabilities, Capabilities>>
    section, since they are already covered in the preceding table.
  * Update check_spec_links script, including validation for reference page
    open blocks. Fix errors identified by the script.

This extension adds two related features.
Firstly, support for the following SPIR-V extension in Vulkan is added:
* `SPV_AMD_texture_gather_bias_lod`
Secondly, the extension allows the application to query which formats can be
used together with the new function prototypes introduced by the SPIR-V
extension.
=== New Object Types
None.
=== New Enum Constants
* Extending elink:VkStructureType:
** ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_TEXTURE_LOD_GATHER_FORMAT_PROPERTIES_AMD
=== New Enums
None.
=== New SPIR-V Capabilities
* <<spirvenv-capabilities-table-imagegatherbiaslodamd,code:ImageGatherBiasLodAMD>>
=== New Structures
* slink:VkTextureLODGatherFormatPropertiesAMD
=== New Functions
None.
=== Examples
[source,c++]

if (textureLODGatherSupport.supportsTextureGatherLODBiasAMD == VK_TRUE)
{
// physical device supports SPV_AMD_texture_gather_bias_lod for the specified
// format configuration.
}
else
{
// physical device does not support SPV_AMD_texture_gather_bias_lod for the
// specified format configuration.
