  • Add support for extensions:
    • VK_GOOGLE_display_timing
    • VK_KHR_external_memory (non-functional groundwork for future
      Metal-resource Vulkan extension).
    • VK_KHR_external_memory_capabilities (non-functional groundwork
      for future Metal-resource Vulkan extension).
  • Memory consumption improvements in command handling and vector pre-allocation optimizations.
  • vkQueuePresentKHR() returns a VkResult for each swapchain.
  • MVKPipeline disable fragment shader outputs for unused attachments.
  • MVKBuffer support texel buffers in host-coherent memory on Mac.
  • MVKDescriptor pass buffers to shaders that do atomic image accesses.
  • Support vertex attribute offsets larger than the vertex buffer stride.
  • Fix crash when more than two GPUs.
  • Fix issue where vkGetPhysicalDeviceFormatProperties() incorrectly returned
    properties for unsupported formats.
  • Fix stack overflow in when logging and reporting very long messages.
  • Fix situation where compute pipeline state not retained across copy and renderpass operations.
  • Fix buffer offset calculation.
  • Fixes to maximum FPS calculations.
  • Fix buffer size passed to shaders when VkDescriptorBufferInfo.range set to VK_WHOLE_SIZE.
  • Update maximum number of framebuffer layers to 2048.
  • Support stencil only image formats in identity swizzle case.
  • Enables format atomic capabilities only when format supports it.
  • Add MVKSmallVector as a more memory efficient substitute of MVKVector.
  • Reinstate VulkanSamples API-Samples demo apps and add
    input_attachment and push_descriptors demos.
  • Add MVK_CONFIG_AUTO_GPU_CAPTURE_OUTPUT_FILE environment variable
    to support capturing GPU traces to a file.
  • Consolidate frame and non-frame performance reporting.
    • Remove vkGetSwapchainPerformanceMVK() from API.
    • Swapchain performance can be retrieved with other activity performance
      through vkGetPerformanceStatisticsMVK().
    • Add MVK_CONFIG_PERFORMANCE_LOGGING_INLINE env var to enable/disable
      logging of performance of each activity when it happens.
    • Reduce thread locking on performance statistics collection.
  • Numerous documentation typo corrections.
  • Support Xcode 11.5.
  • Update dependency libraries to match Vulkan SDK 1.2.141.
  • Update to latest SPIRV-Cross version:
    • MSL: mark BuiltInFragCoord as implicitly used for subpass reads.
    • MSL: Deal with cases where builtin is implicitly needed, declared, but unused.
    • MSL: Do not use base expression with PhysicalTypeID OpCompositeExtract.
    • MSL: Add options to control emission of fragment outputs.
    • MSL: Force disabled fragment builtins to have the right name.
    • MSL: Allow removing clip distance user varyings.
    • MSL: Support edge case with DX layout in scalar block layout.
    • MSL: Deal correctly with initializers on Private variables.
    • MSL: Fix case where subpassInput is passed to leaf functions.
    • MSL: Redirect member indices when buffer has been sorted by Offset.
    • MSL: If the packed type is scalar, don't emit "pack_" prefix.
    • MSL: Avoid packed arrays in more cases.
    • Do not add NonWritable/NonReadable decorations for regular images.
    • Expose a query if samplers or images are comparison resources.
