Jon Leech 911a764694 Change log for October 7, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.87 spec update:
* Update release number to 87.

Public Issues:

  * Merge flink:vkCmdPipelineBarrier self-dependency barrier VUs referring
    to the same subpass dependency (public pull request 756).
  * Describe default value of `"optional"` attribute in the registry schema
    document (public issue 769)
  * Fix links in <<VK_NVX_raytracing>> extension (public pull request 805).
  * Mark the <<VK_KHR_mir_surface>> extension obsolete (see public issue 814
    - does not close this, however).
  * Fix missing endif in Image Creation block (public issue 817).

Internal Issues:

  * Clarify that the compressed texture formats corresponding to
    <<features-features-textureCompressionETC2>>,
    <<features-features-textureCompressionASTC_LDR>>, and
    <<features-features-textureCompressionBC>> is not contingent on the
    feature bits, and may be supported even if the features are not enabled
    (internal issue 663).
  * Clarify that code:FragStencilRefEXT is output only in the
    <<interfaces-builtin-variables, Built-In Variables>> section (internal
    issue 1173).
  * Identify and correct many overly-aggressive uses of "`undefined`", and
    narrow them down, where straightforward to do so. Mark such resolved
    uses of "`undefined`" with the custom undefined: macro. Add a new
    <<writing-undefined, Describing Undefined Behavior>> section (internal
    issue 1267).
  * Don't require code:inline_uniform_block descriptors to be populated
    before use in the flink:vkAllocateDescriptorSets section (internal issue
    1380).
  * Allow suppressing inline SVG images by controlling this with an
    attribute set in the Makefile, rather than the explicit [%inline]
    directive (internal issue 1391).
  * Mark 'Khronos' as a registered trademark in several places, now that it
    is one.
  * Fix typo in the <<VK_KHR_shader_atomic_int64>> appendix using the GLSL
    naming of the compare exchange op when referring to the SPIR-V op.
  * Specify in the flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceQueueFamilyProperties section
    that all implementations must support at least one queue family, and
    that every queue family must contain at least one queue.
  * Make slink:VkPipelineDynamicStateCreateInfo::pname:dynamicStateCount,
    slink:VkSampleLocationsInfoEXT::pname:sampleLocationsPerPixel, and
    slink:VkSampleLocationsInfoEXT::pname:sampleLocationsCount optional, to
    fix bogus implicit valid usage checks that were causing failures in the
    conformance tests.
  * Fix vendor tag in reserved extension 237 constants. Does not affect
    anything since it's just a placeholder, but this should avoid further
    comments.
  * Minor markup fixes in some extension appendices.

New Extensions:

  * `<<VK_FUCHSIA_imagepipe_surface>>`

Agreement available at www.khronos.org/files/member_agreement.pdf, and which
defines the terms 'Scope', 'Compliant Portion', and 'Necessary Patent Claims'.
Parties desiring to implement the Specification and make use of Khronos trademarks
in relation to that implementation, and receive reciprocal patent license protection
under the Khronos Intellectual Property Rights Policy must become Adopters and
confirm the implementation as conformant under the process defined by Khronos for
this Specification; see https://www.khronos.org/adopters.
This Specification contains substantially unmodified functionality from, and is a
successor to, Khronos specifications including OpenGL, OpenGL ES and OpenCL.
Some parts of this Specification are purely informative and so are EXCLUDED from
the Scope of this Specification. The <<introduction-conventions>> section of the
<<introduction>> defines how these parts of the Specification are identified.
Where this Specification uses <<introduction-technical-terminology,technical
terminology>>, defined in the <<glossary>> or otherwise, that refer to
enabling technologies that are not expressly set forth in this
Specification, those enabling technologies are EXCLUDED from the Scope of
this Specification.
For clarity, enabling technologies not disclosed with particularity in this
Specification (e.g. semiconductor manufacturing technology, hardware
architecture, processor architecture or microarchitecture, memory
architecture, compiler technology, object oriented technology, basic
operating system technology, compression technology, algorithms, and so on)
are NOT to be considered expressly set forth; only those application program
interfaces and data structures disclosed with particularity are included in
the Scope of this Specification.
For purposes of the Khronos Intellectual Property Rights Policy as it relates
to the definition of Necessary Patent Claims, all recommended or optional
features, behaviors and functionality set forth in this Specification, if
implemented, are considered to be included as Compliant Portions.
Where this Specification includes <<introduction-normative-references,
normative references to external documents>>, only the specifically
identified sections of those external documents are INCLUDED in the Scope of
this Specification. If not created by Khronos, those external documents may
contain contributions from non-members of Khronos not covered by the Khronos
Intellectual Property Rights Policy.
