Jon Leech 476e3f422d Change log for March 18, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.104 spec update:
* Update release number to 104.

Public Issues:

  * Remove the incorrect line from "`Initial`" to "`Invalid`" state in the
    <<commandbuffer-lifecycle-diagram, Lifecycle of a command buffer>>
    diagram (public issue 881).
  * Add Fuchsia platform to <<boilerplate-wsi-header-table, Window System
    Extensions and Headers>> table (public pull request 933).
  * Change the type of
    slink:VkBufferDeviceAddressCreateInfoEXT::pname:deviceAddress from
    basetype:VkDeviceSize to basetype:VkDeviceAddress. These are both
    typedefs of code:uint64_t, so it is an ABI-compatible change (public
    issue 934).

Internal Issues:

  * Remove generated header files and update the CI tests to build a copy of
    the headers for use by the hpp-generate / hpp-compile CI stages. Targets
    to generate the headers will not be removed, but keeping these generated
    files in the repository increased the frequency of conflicts between
    branches when merging to master (internal issue 745).
  * Reword "`undefined: behavior if *action*" to "`must: not do *action*`"
    in the places the old terminology was used, and add a new
    <<writing-undefined, Describing Undefined Behavior>> section of the
    style guide to explain how to write such language in the future
    (internal issue 1579).
  * Move almost all Python scripts into the toplevel `scripts/` directory.
    Apply extensive internal edits to clean up and simplify the scripts, and
    try to follow PEP8 guidelines. Generalize the scripts with the use of a
    Conventions object controlling many aspects of output generation, to
    enable their use in other Khronos projects with similar requirements.
    Autogenerate extension interface refpages (these are experimental and
    may be retired going forward).

New Extensions:

  * `VK_AMD_display_native_hdr`
  * `VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive` (internal issue 1439)
  * `VK_EXT_host_query_reset`
  * `VK_EXT_pipeline_creation_feedback` (internal issue 1560)
  * `VK_KHR_surface_protected_capabilities` (internal issue 1520)

This Specification has been created under the Khronos Intellectual Property
Rights Policy, which is Attachment A of the Khronos Group Membership
Agreement available at https://www.khronos.org/files/member_agreement.pdf, and which
defines the terms 'Scope', 'Compliant Portion', and 'Necessary Patent Claims'.
Parties desiring to implement the Specification and make use of Khronos trademarks
in relation to that implementation, and receive reciprocal patent license protection
under the Khronos Intellectual Property Rights Policy must become Adopters and
confirm the implementation as conformant under the process defined by Khronos for
this Specification; see https://www.khronos.org/adopters.
This Specification contains substantially unmodified functionality from, and is a
successor to, Khronos specifications including OpenGL, OpenGL ES and OpenCL.
Some parts of this Specification are purely informative and so are EXCLUDED from
the Scope of this Specification. The <<introduction-conventions>> section of the
<<introduction>> defines how these parts of the Specification are identified.
Where this Specification uses <<introduction-technical-terminology,technical
terminology>>, defined in the <<glossary>> or otherwise, that refer to
enabling technologies that are not expressly set forth in this
Specification, those enabling technologies are EXCLUDED from the Scope of
this Specification.
For clarity, enabling technologies not disclosed with particularity in this
Specification (e.g. semiconductor manufacturing technology, hardware
architecture, processor architecture or microarchitecture, memory
architecture, compiler technology, object oriented technology, basic
operating system technology, compression technology, algorithms, and so on)
are NOT to be considered expressly set forth; only those application program
interfaces and data structures disclosed with particularity are included in
the Scope of this Specification.
For purposes of the Khronos Intellectual Property Rights Policy as it relates
to the definition of Necessary Patent Claims, all recommended or optional
features, behaviors and functionality set forth in this Specification, if
implemented, are considered to be included as Compliant Portions.
Where this Specification includes <<introduction-normative-references,
normative references to external documents>>, only the specifically
identified sections of those external documents are INCLUDED in the Scope of
this Specification. If not created by Khronos, those external documents may
contain contributions from non-members of Khronos not covered by the Khronos
Intellectual Property Rights Policy.
