Jon Leech 56e0289318 Change log for January 05, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.97 spec update:
* Update release number to 97.

Public Issues:

  * Add a special case to the <<renderpass-compatibility, Render Pass
    Compatibility>> rules allowing single-subpass renderpasses to be
    compatible even if they have different resolve attachment references
    (public issue 835).
  * Fix the miss shader binding table record address rule in the
    <<shader-binding-table-indexing-rules, Miss Shaders>> section to index
    by code:missIndex, not code:sbtOffset (public issue 875).

Internal Issues:

  * Add a missing anchor to the elink:VkSamplerCreateFlagBits language
    (internal issue 1483).
  * Add missing implicit valid usage include for slink:VkHdrMetadataEXT and
    corresponding `noautovalidity` attributes in `vk.xml` for the
    externally-defined metadata properties (internal issue 1514).
  * Remove restrictions on the `mask` parameter of SPIR-V's
    code:OpGroupNonUniformXor in the <<spirvenv-module-validation,
    Validation Rules within a Module>> appendix (internal merge request
    2971).
  * Restore `noautovalidity` attribute for
    slink:VkPipelineViewportWScalingStateCreateInfoNV::pname:pViewportWScalings
    in `vk.xml` (internal merge request 2975).
  * Update copyright dates on Khronos-copyrighted files to 2019 (internal
    merge request 2980).

New Extensions:

  * `VK_KHR_depth_stencil_resolve`
  * `VK_EXT_buffer_device_address`
  * `VK_EXT_memory_budget`
  * `VK_EXT_memory_priority`
  * `VK_EXT_validation_features`

This device extension allows an application that uses the
`<<VK_KHR_swapchain>>` extension to obtain information about the
presentation engine's display, to obtain timing information about each
present, and to schedule a present to happen no earlier than a desired time.
An application can use this to minimize various visual anomalies (e.g.
stuttering).
Traditional game and real-time animation applications need to correctly
position their geometry for when the presentable image will be presented to
the user.
To accomplish this, applications need various timing information about the
presentation engine's display.
They need to know when presentable images were actually presented, and when
they could have been presented.
Applications also need to tell the presentation engine to display an image
no sooner than a given time.
This allows the application to avoid stuttering, so the animation looks
smooth to the user.
This extension treats variable-refresh-rate (VRR) displays as if they are
fixed-refresh-rate (FRR) displays.

[NOTE]
.Note
====
The example code for the this extension (like the `<<VK_KHR_surface>>` and
`VK_GOOGLE_display_timing` extensions) is contained in the cube demo that is
shipped with the official Khronos SDK, and is being kept up-to-date in that
location (see:
https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Tools/blob/master/cube/cube.c ).
