Jon Leech 26f0bdbf1e Change log for March 5, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.72 spec update:
* Update release number to 72.

Github Issues:

  * Restructure the repository to put the specification `Makefile` and
    associated spec source material at the top level, `vk.xml` and
    associated scripts material in `xml/`, and generated include and source
    files in `include/vulkan/` and `src/ext_loader/`, respectively (public
    issue 436).
  * Add missing bullet point markup to flink:vkCmdCopyImage valid usage
    statement, so it gets a VUID assigned (public issue 627).
  * Fix broken links in a couple of extension appendices (public pull
    request 665).
  * Add the \<platform> tag to the index in section 4.1 of the registry
    schema documentation, and add the protect= attribute of \<extension>
    tags to the comments in `registry.rnc` (public issues 673, 678).
  * Add missing valid usage statements for sparse image interactions to
    flink:VkImageCreateInfo (public pull request 675).
  * Fix improper usage and grammar of "`can: not`" (public pull request
    681).
  * Remove duplicate spec language and NOTE on present layout between the
    flink:vkAcquireNextImageKHR and flink:vkAcquireNextImage2KHR commands
    (public pull request 685).
  * Fix some typos and markup issues (public pull request 689; public issues
    642, 667, 687).
  * Fix typo etext:VK_EXTERNAL_SEMAPHORE_HANDLE_TYPE_FENCE_FD_BIT ->
    ename:VK_EXTERNAL_SEMAPHORE_HANDLE_TYPE_SYNC_FD_BIT in the
    <<external-semaphore-handle-types-compatibility, External semaphore
    handle types compatibility>> table (public pull request 691).

Internal Issues:

  * Remove the need for the "`noautovalidity`" attribute on extension
    structures in `vk.xml`. It is now implied by the "`structextends`"
    attribute instead (internal issue 942).
  * Replace uses of "`currently bound`" with "`bound`", since "`currently`"
    is redundant and distracting, and add a corresponding rule to the style
    guide (internal issue 993).
  * Fixed subtle issues with the last updates to flink:vkAcquireNextImageKHR
    language that had resulted in ambiguities (internal issue 1178).
  * Make it clear that only one query of a given type is allowed at a time
    by reordering valid usage statements for flink:vkCmdBeginQuery and
    flink:vkCmdEndQuery, and removing redundant ones (internal issue 1213).
  * Swapped OL1 and OL3 in `tessparamUL.svg` to match previous version, and
    fixed where "`(no edge)`" appears (internal issue 1215).

Other Issues:

  * Fixed a minor problem with the valid usage statement extraction script,
    and corresponding markup in the spec source.

New Extensions:

  * `VK_AMD_shader_core_properties`
  * `VK_EXT_descriptor_indexing`
  * `VK_NV_shader_subgroup_partitioned`

= Dispatching Commands
_Dispatching commands_ (commands with ftext:Dispatch in the name) provoke
work in a compute pipeline.
Dispatching commands are recorded into a command buffer and when executed by
a queue, will produce work which executes according to the bound compute
pipeline.
A compute pipeline must: be bound to a command buffer before any dispatch
commands are recorded in that command buffer.

To record a dispatch, call:
include::../api/protos/vkCmdDispatch.txt[]
* pname:commandBuffer is the command buffer into which the command will be
recorded.
* pname:groupCountX is the number of local workgroups to dispatch in the X
dimension.
* pname:groupCountY is the number of local workgroups to dispatch in the Y
dimension.
* pname:groupCountZ is the number of local workgroups to dispatch in the Z
dimension.
When the command is executed, a global workgroup consisting of
[eq]#groupCountX {times} groupCountY {times} groupCountZ# local workgroups
is assembled.
