Jon Leech dbfd1b68c4 Change log for July 13, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.54 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 54 for this update.

Github Issues:

Internal Issues:

  * Fix tessellation domain to have an upper-left origin in the
    <<img-tessellation-topology-ul, tessellation toplogy image>> and related
    language. CTS and all implementations were already doing this, it was
    just a documentation bug that it was flipped to lower-left (internal
    issue 603).
  * Add a section to the style guide describing how VUID tags are changed
    and removed when the corresponding Valid Usage statements are modified
    (internal issue 829).
  * Add explicit Valid Usage statement to
    slink:VkPipelineDynamicStateCreateInfo to require that members of
    pname:pDynamicStates must be unique (internal issue 851).

New Extensions:

  * `VK_KHR_16bit_storage`
  * `VK_KHR_dedicated_allocation`
  * `VK_KHR_external_fence`
  * `VK_KHR_external_fence_capabilities`
  * `VK_KHR_external_fence_fd`
  * `VK_KHR_external_fence_win32`
  * `VK_KHR_get_memory_requirements2`
  * `VK_KHR_storage_buffer_storage_class`
  * `VK_KHR_variable_pointers`

Extensions Promoted From KHX To KHR Status:

  * `VK_KHR_external_memory`
  * `VK_KHR_external_memory_capabilities`
  * `VK_KHR_external_memory_fd`
  * `VK_KHR_external_memory_win32`
  * `VK_KHR_external_semaphore`
  * `VK_KHR_external_semaphore_capabilities`
  * `VK_KHR_external_semaphore_fd`
  * `VK_KHR_external_semaphore_win32`
  * `VK_KHR_win32_keyed_mutex`

An application using external memory may wish to synchronize access to that
memory using fences.
This extension enables an application to create fences from which non-Vulkan
handles that reference the underlying synchronization primitive can be
exported.
=== New Object Types
None.
=== New Enum Constants
* ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_EXPORT_FENCE_CREATE_INFO_KHR
=== New Enums
* elink:VkFenceImportFlagBitsKHR
=== New Structs
* slink:VkExportFenceCreateInfoKHR
=== New Functions
None.
=== Issues
This extension borrows concepts, semantics, and language from
<<VK_KHR_external_semaphore,VK_KHR_external_semaphore>>.
That extension's issues apply equally to this extension.
