* Update release number to 124.
Github Issues:
* Fix Makefile SPECREMARK macro to work when not building in a git tree
(public issue 992).
* Ignore pname:aspectMask for unused attachments in
slink:VkSubpassDescription2KHR valid usage statements (public pull
request 1028).
* Minor markup / spelling fixes (public pull requests 1035, 1045).
Internal Issues:
* Fix markup in Valid Usage statement for slink:VkCreateFramebuffer
(internal issue 1823).
* Add a new <<synchronization-signal-operation-order, _signal operation
order_>> section to the synchronization chapter which describes in
detail the ordering guarantees provided by the API between fence and
semaphore signal operations (internal merge request 3368).
* Move generated `appendix/meta/` files into the Makefile GENERATED
directory (internal merge request 3381).
New Extensions
* `<<VK_KHR_shader_clock>>`
* `<<VK_KHR_timeline_semaphore>>`

|
This extension allows device memory to be allocated for a particular buffer
|
|
or image resource, which on some devices can significantly improve the
|
|
performance of that resource.
|
|
Normal device memory allocations must support memory aliasing and sparse
|
|
binding, which could interfere with optimizations like framebuffer
|
|
compression or efficient page table usage.
|
|
This is important for render targets and very large resources, but need not
|
|
(and probably should not) be used for smaller resources that can benefit
|
|
from suballocation.
|
|
|
|
This extension adds a few small structures to resource creation and memory
|
|
allocation: a new structure that flags whether am image/buffer will have a
|
|
dedicated allocation, and a structure indicating the image or buffer that an
|
|
allocation will be bound to.
