Jon Leech 59750fe4c7 Change log for August 25, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.121 spec update:
* Update release number to 121.

Github Issues:

  * Add missing `structextends` attribute in `vk.xml` for
    slink:VkPhysicalDevicePipelineExecutablePropertiesFeaturesKHR (public
    issue 1018).
  * Change attributes of flink:vkCmdCopyAccelerationStructureNV,
    flink:vkCmdWriteAccelerationStructuresPropertiesNV,
    flink:vkCmdBuildAccelerationStructureNV, and flink:vkCmdTraceRaysNV to
    require that these commands execute outside renderpasses (public issue
    1021).
  * Add an issue to the `<<VK_EXT_buffer_device_address>>` appendix
    discussing the introduction of new names and aliasing by equivalent old
    names (public pull request 1024).

Internal Issues:

  * Protect the `VK_KHR_sampler_mirror_clamp_to_edge` extension with
    asciidoctor conditionals, and remove it from the core-only specification
    builds, where it had previously been force-included in the Makefile. It
    is now treated like any other extension (internal issue 1776).
  * Edit some asciidoctor anchor names starting with `features-features-` to
    just start with `features-`, since the old chapters was split into 3
    pieces. There are still some mild naming inconsistencies with anchors
    which may be addressed in the future (internal issue 1792).
  * Add `KHR` alias for the non-suffixed extension token
    ename:VK_SAMPLER_ADDRESS_MODE_MIRROR_CLAMP_TO_EDGE, for compatibility
    with naming rules for extensions (internal issue 1796).
  * Clarify requirements for external memory in NOTEs for
    sname:VkExternalMemoryBufferCreateInfo, and valid usage statements for
    flink:vkBindBufferMemory, slink:VkBindBufferMemoryInfo,
    flink:vkBindImageMemory, and slink:VkBindImageMemoryInfo (internal merge
    request 3301).
  * Make extension version numbers in `vk.xml` and extension appendices
    consistent. In a few cases, we could not recover history at this
    granularity, and left the summary of a version's change undefined
    (internal merge request 3323).
  * Fix invocation of `CodeInlineMacro` in the Ruby extension backing the
    `code:` macro, which was delegating to the wrong base class (internal
    merge request 3331).
  * Modify `reg.py` to do a better job of recognizing equivalent <enum>
    definitions.
  * Add a `sortorder` attribute to XML feature and extension tags.

New Extensions

  * `<<VK_AMD_device_coherent_memory>>`

The `VK_KHR_vulkan_memory_model` extension allows use of the
<<memory-model,Vulkan Memory Model>>, which formally defines how to
synchronize memory accesses to the same memory locations performed by
multiple shader invocations.
=== New Enum Constants
* Extending elink:VkStructureType:
** ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_VULKAN_MEMORY_MODEL_FEATURES_KHR
=== New Structures
* slink:VkPhysicalDeviceVulkanMemoryModelFeaturesKHR
[NOTE]
.Note
====
Version 3 of the spec added a member
(pname:vulkanMemoryModelAvailabilityVisibilityChains) to
slink:VkPhysicalDeviceVulkanMemoryModelFeaturesKHR, which is an incompatible
change from version 2.
====
=== New SPIR-V Capabilities
* <<spirvenv-capabilities-table-memorymodel,code:VulkanMemoryModelKHR>>
=== Issues
=== Version History
* Revision 1, 2018-06-24 (Jeff Bolz)
- Initial draft
* Revision 3, 2018-12-10 (Jeff Bolz)
- Add vulkanMemoryModelAvailabilityVisibilityChains member to the
VkPhysicalDeviceVulkanMemoryModelFeaturesKHR structure.
