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`

The +VK_KHR_16bit_storage+ extension allows use of 16-bit types in shader
input and output interfaces, and push constant blocks.
This extension introduces several new optional features which map to SPIR-V
capabilities and allow access to 16-bit data in code:Block-decorated objects
in the code:Uniform and the code:StorageBuffer storage classes, and objects
in the code:PushConstant storage class.
This extension allows 16-bit variables to be declared and used as
user-defined shader inputs and outputs but does not change location
assignment and component assignment rules.
