Jon Leech 43f1fd5550 Change log for March 17, 2017 Vulkan 1.0.44 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 44 for this update.

Github Issues:

  * Fix description of <<features-extentperimagetype, Allowed Extent Values
    Based On Image Type>> (public issue 290).
  * Better specify VK_DEVICE_LOST behavior around flink:vkQueueSubmit,
    flink:vkWaitForFences, and flink:vkGetFenceStatus (public issue 423).
  * Clarify definition of flink:vkGetQueryPoolResults::pname:queryCount
    (public issue 441).
  * Simplify and clean up normative language. Remove shall and replace
    recommend and variants with should wherever possible (public issue 448).
  * Fix all dangling internal cross-references in the 1.0-extensions
    specification, and add scripts/checkXrefs to find these in the future
    (public issue 456).
  * Reverse order of ChangeLog.txt entries so the most recent version is
    documented first (public issue 463)
  * Removes "become invalid" which clashes with invalid state for command
    buffers. (public issue 467)
  * Disallowed pending state in spec text for vkResetCommandBuffer, matching
    valid usage (public issue 468)
  * Removes sentence describing invalid state "like initial state". (public
    issue 469)
  * Disallows begin command buffer from resetting command buffers in the
    "recording" state. (public issue 470)
  * Removes mention of state from description of
    VK_COMMAND_POOL_CREATE_RESET_COMMAND_BUFFER_BIT (public issue 471)
  * Removed extra valid usage statement in VkSubmitInfo (public issue 472)

Internal Issues:

  * Clarify description of the pname:imageLayout member of
    sname:VkDescriptorImageInfo.
  * Fix typos where etext:VK_VIEW_TYPE* was used instead of
    etext:VK_IMAGE_VIEW_TYPE.
  * Removed the <<VK_KHR_display>> and <<VK_KHR_display_swapchain>> example
    code from the specification and noted it has been moved to the Vulkan
    SDK cube demo (internal issue 179).
  * Reorder VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagBitsNV description (internal issue
    480).
  * Clarify than an implementation is
    <<fundamentals-validusage-flags,permitted to return 'undefined' bit
    flags>> in a bitfield (internal issue 640).
  * Break Valid Usage statements describing unrelated parameters into
    separate statements, and add a style guide entry to follow this approach
    (internal issue 685).
  * Move valid usage statement for slink:VkImageCreateInfo from spec body to
    the explicit valid usage block (internal issue 693).
  * Fix typos in the descriptions of slink:VkDisplaySurfaceCreateInfoKHR,
    flink:vkCreateDisplayModeKHR, and
    flink:vkGetDisplayPlaneSupportedDisplaysKHR in the <<display,Presenting
    Directly to Display Devices>> section (internal issue 698, 704, 716).
  * Clarified that mandatory depth/stencil formats are only a requirement
    for 2D images (internal issue 719).
  * Clarify that variables decorated with DeviceIndex/ViewIndex must be in
    the Input storage class (internal issue 733).
  * Work around generator script problem with removal of Unicode literals
    from Python 3.0-3.2 using `future` package (internal issue 737).
  * Remove nonexistent structure type enums from vk.xml (internal issue
    738).
  * Fix validextensionstructs attributes for structures in the pname:pNext
    chain for VkPresentInfoKHR, fixing implicit valid usage statements for
    those structures (internal issue 740).

The +VK_KHR_wayland_surface+ extension is an instance extension.
It provides a mechanism to create a slink:VkSurfaceKHR object (defined by
the +VK_KHR_surface+ extension) that refers to a Wayland code:wl_surface, as
well as a query to determine support for rendering to a Wayland compositor.
=== New Object Types
None
=== New Enum Constants
* Extending ename:VkStructureType:
** ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_WAYLAND_SURFACE_CREATE_INFO_KHR
=== New Enums
None
=== New Structures
* slink:VkWaylandSurfaceCreateInfoKHR
=== New Functions
* flink:vkCreateWaylandSurfaceKHR
* flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceWaylandPresentationSupportKHR
=== Issues
1) Does Wayland need a way to query for compatibility between a particular
physical device and a specific Wayland display? This would be a more general
query than flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceSupportKHR: if the
Wayland-specific query returned true for a (slink:VkPhysicalDevice, struct
wl_display*) pair, then the physical device could be assumed to support
presentation to any slink:VkSurfaceKHR for surfaces on the display.
*RESOLVED*: Yes.
flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceWaylandPresentationSupportKHR was added to address
this issue.
2) Should we require surfaces created with flink:vkCreateWaylandSurfaceKHR
to support the ename:VK_PRESENT_MODE_MAILBOX_KHR present mode?
*RESOLVED*: Yes.
Wayland is an inherently mailbox window system and mailbox support is
required for some Wayland compositor interactions to work as expected.
While handling these interactions may be possible with
ename:VK_PRESENT_MODE_FIFO_KHR, it is much more difficult to do without
deadlock and requiring all Wayland applications to be able to support
implementations which only support ename:VK_PRESENT_MODE_FIFO_KHR would be
an onerous restriction on application developers.
=== Version History
* Revision 1, 2015-09-23 (Jesse Hall)
- Initial draft, based on the previous contents of VK_EXT_KHR_swapchain
(later renamed VK_EXT_KHR_surface).
* Revision 2, 2015-10-02 (James Jones)
- Added vkGetPhysicalDeviceWaylandPresentationSupportKHR() to resolve
issue #1.
- Adjusted wording of issue #1 to match the agreed-upon solution.
- Renamed "window" parameters to "surface" to match Wayland conventions.
* Revision 3, 2015-10-26 (Ian Elliott)
- Renamed from VK_EXT_KHR_wayland_surface to VK_KHR_wayland_surface.
* Revision 4, 2015-11-03 (Daniel Rakos)
- Added allocation callbacks to vkCreateWaylandSurfaceKHR.
* Revision 5, 2015-11-28 (Daniel Rakos)
- Updated the surface create function to take a pCreateInfo structure.
* Revision 6, 2017-02-08 (Jason Ekstrand)
- Added the requirement that implementations support
ename:VK_PRESENT_MODE_MAILBOX_KHR.
- Added wording about interactions between flink:vkQueuePresentKHR and
the Wayland requests sent to the compositor.
