Jon Leech 279452463a Change log for November 12, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.92 spec update:
* Update release number to 92.

Public Issues:

  * Move and modify valid usage statements dealing with pname:aspectMask in
    flink:vkCmdClearColorImage, flink:vkCmdClearDepthStencilImage, and
    slink:VkClearAttachment, so they are in places where all necessary
    information is available (public issue 529).
  * Fix math markup in <<textures-texel-anisotropic-filtering, Texel
    Anisotropic Filtering>> (public pull request 840).
  * Fix misspellings (public pull request 845).

Internal Issues:

  * Add installation instructions and a Makefile "`chunked`" target for
    chunked HTML generation (internal issue 1352).
  * Fix pipeline mesh diagram style; also fix a minor bug in the classic
    pipeline diagram where vertex/index buffers wrongly fed into the vertex
    shader (internal issue 1436).
  * Make asciidoctor ERROR output raise an error, and don't suppress
    executed command output from CI make invocation (internal issue 1454).
  * Minor typo fixes and clarifications for `VK_NV_raytracing`.
  * Cleanup extension-specific properties
  ** Remove duplicated documentation for pname:maxDiscardRectangles,
     pname:pointClippingBehavior, and pname:maxVertexAttribDivisor (they
     shouldn't be documented with the other members of
     slink:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits at all).
  ** Remove duplicate anchor for pname:maxVertexAttribDivisor
  ** Consistently document stext:VkPhysicalDevice<Extension>PropertiesKHR
  *** Always document pname:sType/pname:pNext (was inconsistent before)
  *** Always mention chaining to slink:VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2 (and not
      as slink:VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2KHR)
  *** Always include Valid Usage statements last
  * Update Makefile 'checklinks' target and associated scripts, and fix
    markup problems identified by checkLinks.py, so that we can rely on the
    checklinks script as part of Gitlab CI.

This extension provides new entry points to query device surface
capabilities in a way that can be easily extended by other extensions,
without introducing any further entry points.
This extension can be considered the `<<VK_KHR_surface>>` equivalent of the
`<<VK_KHR_get_physical_device_properties2>>` extension.
=== New Object Types
None.
=== New Enum Constants
* Extending elink:VkStructureType:
** ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_SURFACE_INFO_2_KHR
** ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_SURFACE_CAPABILITIES_2_KHR
** ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_SURFACE_FORMAT_2_KHR
=== New Enums
None.
=== New Structures
* slink:VkPhysicalDeviceSurfaceInfo2KHR
* slink:VkSurfaceCapabilities2KHR
* slink:VkSurfaceFormat2KHR
=== New Functions
* flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceCapabilities2KHR
* flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceFormats2KHR
=== Issues
1) What should this extension be named?
*RESOLVED*: `VK_KHR_get_surface_capabilities2`.
Other alternatives:
* `VK_KHR_surface2`
* One extension, combining a separate display-specific query extension.
2) Should additional WSI query functions be extended?
*RESOLVED*:
* flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR: Yes.
The need for this motivated the extension.
* flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceSupportKHR: No.
Currently only has boolean output.
Extensions should instead extend
flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceCapabilities2KHR.
* flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceFormatsKHR: Yes.
* flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfacePresentModesKHR: No.
Recent discussion concluded this introduced too much variability for
applications to deal with.
Extensions should instead extend
flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceCapabilities2KHR.
* flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceXlibPresentationSupportKHR: Not in this
extension.
* flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceXcbPresentationSupportKHR: Not in this
extension.
* flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceWaylandPresentationSupportKHR: Not in this
extension.
* flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceWin32PresentationSupportKHR: Not in this
extension.
=== Version History
* Revision 1, 2017-02-27 (James Jones)
- Initial draft.
