    Change log for April 7, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.106 spec update: · b1042a32
    Jon Leech authored
      * Update release number to 106.
    
    Public Issues:
    
      * Add searchbox and generate search index for the chunked HTML target.
        Note that doing this requires several new toolchain components to build
        the `chunked` target (public issue 578 / internal issue 1352).
      * Remove descriptions of flink:vkCreateSampler sampler constraints which
        were repeated in the valid usage statements (public pull request 648).
      * Fix sense of conditional around a valid usage statement in the
        <<copies>> chapter (public issue 942).
    
    Internal Issues:
    
      * Add missing pname:extent.width and pname:extent.height valid usage
        statements for flink:vkCmdClearAttachments (internal issue 1583).
      * Fix some inconsistencies in structures and corresponding pname:sType
        enumerant names by renaming
        sname:VkPhysicalDeviceShaderDrawParameterFeatures ->
        slink:slink:VkPhysicalDeviceShaderDrawParametersFeatures;
        sname:VkPhysicalDeviceVariablePointerFeatures ->
        slink:VkPhysicalDeviceVariablePointerFeatures;
        sname:VkPhysicalDeviceVariablePointerFeaturesKHR ->
        slink:VkPhysicalDeviceVariablePointerFeaturesKHR;
        sname:VkPhysicalDeviceBufferAddressFeaturesEXT ->
        slink:VkPhysicalDeviceBufferDeviceAddressFeaturesEXT;
        etext:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_SHADER_DRAW_PARAMETER_FEATURES
        ->
        ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_SHADER_DRAW_PARAMETERS_FEATURES;
        etext:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_VARIABLE_POINTER_FEATURES ->
        ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_VARIABLE_POINTERS_FEATURES;
        etext:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_VARIABLE_POINTER_FEATURES_KHR ->
        ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_VARIABLE_POINTERS_FEATURES_KHR;
        and etext:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_BUFFER_ADDRESS_FEATURES_EXT
        ->
        ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_BUFFER_DEVICE_ADDRESS_FEATURES_EXT.
        The old names are still available as aliases for backwards
        compatibility. This change required introducing valid XML markup which
        externally written XML processing scripts may need to be modified to
        accomodate, to support multiple aliases of a single command or token
        name (internal issue 1592).
      * Add slink:VkDevice as the first parameter to flink:vkSetLocalDimmingAMD
        (internal issue 1618).
      * Improve CI header compilation tests to test all Vulkan platform
        includes, using fake platform headers where needed, and change the
        `allchecks` Makefile target to use the more comprehensive
        `check_spec_links.py` script instead of the retired `checkinc` and
        `checklinks` targets.
      * Move descriptions of the ASTC compressed texture decode mode from the
        <<appendix-compressedtex-astc,appendix>> to the recently updated
        external Khronos Data Format Specification.
      * Fix minor markup and spelling issues in the `VK_NV_ray_tracing`
        extension.
