XUSG 2024.12 (Release v7.0 with work graphs and preview WMMA)

Newly updated:

• Fix buffer alignments, including ray-tracing related buffers.
• Fix work graphs.
• Simplify ray-tracing interfaces.
• Support work graphs in EZ.
• Support root constants in EZ.
• Fix mesh-shader functions in EZ.

Recent highlighted features:

• Support of work-graph pipelines with Shader Model 6.8.
• Support fallback value mapping for null SRV descriptors.
• Support PBR textures and tangent in the GLTF loader.
• Support descriptor table settings in EZ, for hybrid DX11 and DX12 styles. For some static texture binding (without barriers in the backend), it is faster to use descriptor tables directly.
• Enhance pipeline lib and support generic programs
• Reserve the slot for vendor specific extensions (AMD ags or nvapi).
• Support of wave matrices (need preview D3D SDK).
