Jon Leech fd0e4c3b67 Change log for February 27, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.42 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 42 for this update
    (the first anniversary edition).

Github Issues:

  * Changed asciidoctor macros so cross-page links in the standalone
    reference pages function properly (public issue 462).

Internal Issues:

  * Clarified host visibility discussion for slink:VkMemoryType,
    flink:vkInvalidateMappedMemoryRanges, elink:VkAccessFlagBits, and the
    <<synchronization-framebuffer-regions,Framebuffer Region Dependencies>>
    section, removing duplicated information and adding a central definition
    in the access types section (internal issue 552).
  * Change description of
    slink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfacePresentModesKHR::pname:pPresentModes to
    return an array of values, not structures (internal issue 699).

New Extensions:

  * Add a NOTE to the <<extensions,Layers & Extensions>> chapter describing
    the experimental status of `KHX` extensions.
  * Add new Khronos, Khronos Experimental, and vendor Vulkan extensions for
    release at GDC:
  ** VK_KHR_descriptor_update_template
  ** VK_KHR_push_descriptor
  ** VK_KHX_device_group
  ** VK_KHX_device_group_creation
  ** VK_KHX_external_memory
  ** VK_KHX_external_memory_capabilities
  ** VK_KHX_external_memory_fd
  ** VK_KHX_external_memory_win32
  ** VK_KHX_external_semaphore
  ** VK_KHX_external_semaphore_capabilities
  ** VK_KHX_external_semaphore_fd
  ** VK_KHX_external_semaphore_win32
  ** VK_KHX_multiview
  ** VK_KHX_win32_keyed_mutex
  ** VK_EXT_discard_rectangles
  ** VK_MVK_ios_surface
  ** VK_MVK_macos_surface
  ** VK_NVX_multiview_per_view_attributes
  ** VK_NV_clip_space_w_scaling
  ** VK_NV_geometry_shader_passthrough
  ** VK_NV_sample_mask_override_coverage
  ** VK_NV_viewport_array2
  ** VK_NV_viewport_swizzle
  * Add new GLSL vendor extensions to support new builtin variables:
  ** GL_EXT_device_group
  ** GL_EXT_multiview

Number
TBD
Dependencies
This extension can be applied to OpenGL GLSL versions 1.40
(#version 140) and higher.
This extension can be applied to OpenGL ES ESSL versions 3.10
(#version 310) and higher.
Overview
This extension adds a builtin input variable containing the device
index.
New Procedures and Functions
None.
New Tokens
None.
Modifications to the OpenGL Shading Language Specification, Version 4.50
Including the following line in a shader can be used to control the
language features described in this extension:
#extension GL_EXT_device_group : <behavior>
where <behavior> is as specified in section 3.3
New preprocessor #defines are added to the OpenGL Shading Language:
#define GL_EXT_device_group 1
Modify Section 7.1 (Built-In Language Variables), p. 118
Add to the list of vertex, tessellation control, tessellation
evaluation, geometry, fragment, and compute shader built-ins:
highp int gl_DeviceIndex;
Add the following description for gl_DeviceIndex:
The input variable gl_DeviceIndex is available in all shading languages
and corresponds to the DeviceIndex SPIR-V input. See the Vulkan API
specification for how this value is interpreted.
Errors
None.
