Note: This release contains changes to library paths and framework linking options.

  • Add support for Vulkan 1.1, including:
    • The vkEnumerateInstanceVersion() function
    • The vkGetDeviceQueue2() function
    • Protected memory (non-functional)
    • A feature struct for VK_KHR_shader_draw_parameters
    • All extensions that were promoted to core in Vulkan 1.1
  • Add support for extensions:
    • VK_KHR_portability_subset
    • VK_KHR_create_renderpass2
    • VK_KHR_depth_stencil_resolve
    • VK_KHR_external_fence (non-functional groundwork for future extensions,
      including support for GCD and Mach semaphores)
    • VK_KHR_external_fence_capabilities (non-functional groundwork for future
      extensions, including support for GCD and Mach semaphores)
    • VK_KHR_external_semaphore (non-functional groundwork for future
      MTLSharedEvent Vulkan extension)
    • VK_KHR_external_semaphore_capabilities (non-functional groundwork for
      future MTLSharedEvent Vulkan extension)
    • VK_KHR_multiview
    • VK_KHR_shader_subgroup_extended_types
  • Remove support for obsolete VK_EXTX_portability_subset extension.
  • Redesign build and linking options that leverage newer framework technology:
    • Add comprehensive support for multi-platform, multi-architecture XCFrameworks.
    • Build fat single-platform, multi-architecture dylibs.
    • Add support for Apple Silicon builds for macOS and Simulators.
    • Remove support for distinct legacy frameworks and static libraries.
    • Remove support for fat libraries and frameworks that span device and simulators.
    • Combine MoltenVKSPIRVToMSLConverter and MoltenVKGLSLToSPIRVConverter frameworks
      into a single MoltenVKShaderConverter framework.
  • Support copying between 3D and 2D images.
  • Support clearing 3D images.
  • Support linear images and buffer views in shared memory on macOS 10.15.5+.
  • Support VK_IMAGE_CREATE_EXTENDED_USAGE_BIT.
  • Support multiple aliased images for dedicated image memory allocations.
  • Improve performance of tessellation control pipeline stage by processing multiple
    patches per workgroup.
  • vkCmdBindDescriptorSets order pDynamicOffsets by descriptor binding number
    within each descriptor set.
  • vkCmdCopyImage on macOS flush non-coherent image memory before copy operation.
  • Process multiple patches per workgroup in a tessellation control shader.
  • Initialize tessellation related variables conditionally in indirect draws.
  • Fix build errors on Simulator not supporting MTLDrawable present time options.
  • Fix dynamicOffsets ordering based on binding index.
  • Ensure the base texture is created when creating a view texture.
  • Fix features, alignment, and image properties of chroma subsampled formats.
  • Disable variableMultisampleRate feature.
  • Permit renderpass to have no attachments.
  • Clear linear images using a compute shader.
  • Reject attempts to create compressed linear images.
  • Always use a texel buffer for atomic linear storage images.
  • Use deferred store actions instead of tracking multi-pass draws.
  • Use MTLRenderPassDescriptor renderTargetWidth and renderTargetHeight on macOS 10.15 and newer.
  • Use a 2D non-arrayed view for 2D non-arrayed attachments.
  • Use arrayed textures for layered subpass input.
  • Use layered rendering when clearing or resolving images whenever possible,
    and take renderArea into account.
  • Streamline image copying when the entire source is being copied to the entire destination.
  • Don't set renderTargetArrayLength on devices that don't support it.
  • Don't attempt to clear unused attachments and fix vertex count for clearing multiple layers.
  • Don't encode commands that draw zero vertices.
  • Ignore addressModeW on samplers with unnormalized coordinates.
  • Flip GPU when swapchain is created, not when device object is created,
    to optimize this condition if it is not needed.
  • Flush source image of a transfer on macOS.
  • Fix offset for texel buffers and heaps for multi-planar images.
  • Fix memory leak when object create fails.
  • Fix several use-after-freed errors.
  • Fix applying divisors to instanced vertex attributes.
  • Fix issue in accessing MTLTexture for swapchain image planes.
  • Fix occasional crash on vertex stage indirect draws.
  • Fix reported image format properties for 1D images as 2D.
  • VK_EXT_vertex_attribute_divisor fix issues with zero divisors.
  • Re-add support for bitcode generation on iOS and tvOS.
  • fetchDependencies builds serially by default for better build script integration.
  • Combine MoltenVKSPIRVToMSLConverter and MoltenVKGLSLToSPIRVConverter
    frameworks into a single MoltenVKShaderConverter framework.
  • Fix Metal validation error when occlusion query and renderpass are in separate
    Vulkan command buffers.
  • Fix a crash on starting a query outside a render pass.
  • Fix Metal validation error that forbids rendering to an image of zero size.
  • Fix issue where descriptor pool releasing descriptor sets it doesn't own.
  • Fix issue where load/store actions not set in renderpass that includes compute stage.
  • Prevent accidental setColorStoreAction for non-color attachments.
  • Fix image copy destination extent of compressed images.
  • Fix image resolve sub-region extent.
  • Fix owner of merged MVKShaderLibraries.
