Jon Leech 933a3a3c4a Change log for June 18, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.78 spec update:
* Update release number to 78.

Public Issues:

  * Change markup so parameter descriptions include links to structures,
    instead of just their names (public issue 697).
  * Resume publishing updated Vulkan 1.0 + KHR extensions and Vulkan 1.0 +
    all extensions versions of the specification (public issue 722).
  * Reapply fixes from public pull request 698 for
    `VK_ANDROID_external_memory_android_hardware_buffer`, which accidentally
    were reverted at some point (public pull request 724).
  * Fix undefined format valid usage statements for slink:VkImageCreateInfo
    in the presence of the
    `VK_ANDROID_external_memory_android_hardware_buffer` extension (public
    pull request 725).
  * Miscellaneous markup consistency fixes (public pull request 728).

Internal Issues:

  * When building specifications containing vendor extensions, add terms to
    the Khronos spec copyright specifying that the result is not a ratified
    specification (internal issue 739).
  * Change the value of the
    pname:maxDescriptorSetUpdateAfterBindUniformBuffers minimum limit to 72
    (6 times pname:maxPerStageDescriptorUpdateAfterBindUniformBuffers) in
    the <<features-limits-required, Required Limits>> table (internal issue
    1300).

Other Issues:

  * Fix link to resource image view compatibility table in the valid usage
    statements for slink:VkImageFormatListCreateInfoKHR (internal pull
    request 2711).

--
To create a sname:VkSurfaceKHR object for an code:nn::code:vi::code:Layer,
query the layer's native handle using
code:nn::code:vi::code:GetNativeWindow, and then call:
include::../../api/protos/vkCreateViSurfaceNN.txt[]
* pname:instance is the instance with which to associate the surface.
* pname:pCreateInfo is a pointer to an instance of the
sname:VkViSurfaceCreateInfoNN structure containing parameters affecting
the creation of the surface object.
* pname:pAllocator is the allocator used for host memory allocated for the
surface object when there is no more specific allocator available (see
<<memory-allocation,Memory Allocation>>).
* pname:pSurface points to a slink:VkSurfaceKHR handle in which the
created surface object is returned.
During the lifetime of a surface created using a particular
code:nn::code:vi::code:NativeWindowHandle any attempts to create another
surface for the same code:nn::code:vi::code:Layer and any attempts to
connect to the same code:nn::code:vi::code:Layer through other platform
mechanisms will have undefined results.
The pname:currentExtent of a VI surface is always undefined.
Applications are expected to choose an appropriate size for the swapchain's
pname:imageExtent (e.g., by matching the the result of a call to
code:nn::code:vi::code:GetDisplayResolution).

--
The sname:VkViSurfaceCreateInfoNN structure is defined as:
include::../../api/structs/VkViSurfaceCreateInfoNN.txt[]
* pname:sType is the type of this structure.
* pname:pNext is `NULL` or a pointer to an extension-specific structure.
* pname:flags is reserved for future use.
* pname:window is the code:nn::code:vi::code:NativeWindowHandle for the
code:nn::code:vi::code:Layer with which to associate the surface.
