This requires the + VK_EXT_vertex_attribute_divisor extension. + - `Private data' APIs for all interfaces. + - Shader-resource view component mappings. + - Indirect indexed draws. + - Indirect draws with a count buffer. This requires the + VK_KHR_draw_indirect_count extension. + - Stream output and stream output queries. This requires the + VK_EXT_transform_feedback extension. + - Predicated/conditional rendering. + - Primitive restart. + - Depth rendering without a pixel shader. + - Depth clipping. This requires the VK_EXT_depth_clip_enable extension. + - Rasteriser discard. + - Dual-source blending. + - Mapping placed resources. + - The ReadFromSubresource() and WriteToSubresource() ID3D12Resource methods. + - Simultaneous access to resources from multiple queues. + - Null-views. I.e., views without an underlying resource. + - Several more feature support queries. + +- New interfaces: + - vkd3d_serialize_versioned_root_signature() and + vkd3d_create_versioned_root_signature_deserializer() provide support for + versioned root signatures. + - The vkd3d_application_info structure extends the + vkd3d_instance_create_info structure, and can be used to pass information + about the application to libvkd3d. It is analogous to the + VkApplicationInfo structure in Vulkan. Its `api_version' field should be + set to the version of the libvkd3d API that the application targets. + - The vkd3d_optional_device_extensions_info structure extends the + vkd3d_device_create_info structure, and can be used to pass a list of + device extensions to enable only when available to libvkd3d. It is + analogous to the vkd3d_optional_instance_extensions_info structure for + instance extensions. + +- New environment variables: + - VKD3D_CONFIG can be used to set options that change the behaviour of + libvkd3d. + - VKD3D_TEST_BUG can be used to disable bug_if() conditions in the test + suite. + - VKD3D_TEST_FILTER can be used to control which tests are run. + - VKD3D_VULKAN_DEVICE can be used to override the Vulkan physical device + used by vkd3d. + See the README for more detailed descriptions and how to use these. + +- When the VK_KHR_dedicated_allocation extension is available, dedicated + allocations may be used for committed resources. + +- When the VK_KHR_image_format_list extension is available, it will be used to + inform the driver about the view formats that a particular mutable Vulkan + image can be used with. This improves performance on some Vulkan + implementations. + +- When the VK_EXT_debug_marker extension is available, object names set with + the ID3D12Object SetName() method will be propagated to the underlying + Vulkan objects. + +- Unordered-access view clears are supported on more formats. Previously these + were limited to integer formats for texture resources, and single component + integer formats for buffer resources. + +- When the D24_UNORM_S8_UINT format is not supported by the Vulkan + implementation, the D32_SFLOAT_S8_UINT format will be used instead to + implement the D24_UNORM_S8_UINT and related DXGI formats. This is required + because the DXGI D24_UNORM_S8_UINT format is mandatory, while the Vulkan + D24_UNORM_S8_UINT format is optional. -- Improved support for resource views. +- Various bug fixes. -- ClearUnorderedAccessViewUint() is implemented for textures. -- Blend factor is implemented. +*** libvkd3d-shader -- Performance improvements. +- libvkd3d-shader is now available as a public instead of an internal library. -- A new interface is available for enabling additional Vulkan instance - extensions. +- New features: + - Tessellation shaders. + - Root signature version 1.1 serialisation, deserialisation, and conversion. + - Multi-sample masks. + - Per-sample shading. + - Early depth/stencil test. + - Conservative depth output. + - Dual-source blending. + - Stream output. + - Viewport arrays. -- A new public function is available for mapping VkFormats to DXGI_FORMATs. +- Support for OpenGL SPIR-V target environments. This allows SPIR-V produced + by libvkd3d-shader to be used with GL_ARB_gl_spirv. This includes support + for OpenGL atomic counters and combined samplers. -- Support for more DXGI formats. +- Preliminary support for shader model 5.1 shaders. This is still a work in + progress. Notably, support for resource arrays is not yet implemented. -- Various bug fixes. +- When the SPV_EXT_demote_to_helper_invocation is available, it will be used + to implement the `discard' shader instruction instead of using SpvOpKill. In + particular, this ensures the `deriv_rtx' and `deriv_rty' instruction return + accurate results after a (conditional) `discard' instruction. +- Support for using SPIR-V specialisation constants for shader parameters. -*** libvkd3d-shader +- Support for more shader instructions: + - bufinfo, + - eval_centroid, + - eval_sample_index, + - ld2ms, + - sample_b, + - sample_d, + - sample_info, + - samplepos. + +- When built against SPIRV-Tools, libvkd3d-shader can produce SPIR-V shaders + in text form. -- Support for geometry shaders. +- libvkd3d-shader now has its own environment variable (VKD3D_SHADER_DEBUG) to + control debug output. -- Pretty printing is implemented for shader code extracted from DXBC. +- Various shader translation fixes. -- Clip and cull distances are supported. -- Support for more shader instructions: - - round_ne, - - sincos, - - ineg, - - continue, - - continuec, - - gather4_po, - - gather4_po_c, - - gather4_c. +*** vkd3d-compiler -- Texel offsets are supported. +- When supported by libvkd3d-shader, text form SPIR-V is available as a target + format, in addition to the existing binary form SPIR-V target format. -- Various shader translation fixes. +- Input from standard input, and output to standard output is supported. *** libvkd3d-utils -- Vulkan WSI extensions are detected at runtime. +- To specify the libvkd3d API version to use when creating vkd3d instances, + define VKD3D_UTILS_API_VERSION to the desired version before including + vkd3d_utils.h. If VKD3D_UTILS_API_VERSION is not explicitly defined, + VKD3D_API_VERSION_1_0 will be used. + +- Support for versioned root signatures is provided by the + D3D12SerializeVersionedRootSignature() and + D3D12CreateVersionedRootSignatureDeserializer() entry points. *** build -- Demos are not built by default. +- The minimum required version of Vulkan-Headers and SPIRV-Headers for this + release is version 1.1.113. + +- The minimum required version of widl for this release is version 3.20. + +- If doxygen is available, it will be used to build API documentation. By + default, documentation will be generated in HTML and PDF formats. -- libxcb is now an optional dependency required only for demos. +- If debug logs are not required or desired, defining VKD3D_NO_TRACE_MESSAGES + and VKD3D_NO_DEBUG_MESSAGES will prevent them from being included in the + build. For example, a release build may want to configure with + `CPPFLAGS="-DNDEBUG -DVKD3D_NO_TRACE_MESSAGES -DVKD3D_NO_DEBUG_MESSAGES"'. -- MoltenVK is supported. +- Microsoft Windows is now a supported target platform. To create a build for + Windows, either cross-compile by configuring with an appropriate --host + option like for example `--host=x86_64-w64-mingw32', or build on Windows + itself using an environment like MSYS2 or Cygwin. |
