This Linux/Windows SDK supports Vulkan API revision 1.1.70. The prior Linux/Windows LunarG SDK release supported Vulkan API revision 1.0.68.
Please note --- this new SDK supports Vulkan 1.1.70, and is backward-compatible with Vulkan 1.0.70.
Overview of new features in SDK 1.1.70
- Support for Vulkan Version 1.1.x, the first major Vulkan update
- The VulkanInfo utility now features a json backend, for use with the device simulation layer
- New extensions for Vulkan 1.1.70:
- VK_KHR_maintenance3
- VK_EXT_vertex_attribute_divisor
- Many bug fixes, validation coverage and accuracy improvements, and many feature additions
Extensions now promoted from experimental or vendor extensions to Khronos extensions
- VK_KHR_multiview (formerly VK_KHX_multiview)
- VK_KHR_device_group (formerly VK_KHX_device_group)
- VK_KHR_device_group_creation (formerly VK_KHX_device_group_creation)
- VK_KHR_external_memory_capabilities (formerly VK_NV_external_memory_capabilities)
- VK_KHR_external_memory (formerly VK_NV_external_memory)
Vulkan 1.0 extensions now promoted to core
- VK_KHR_multiview
- VK_KHR_device_group
- VK_KHR_device_group_creation
- VK_KHR_bind_memory_2
- VK_KHR_descriptor_update_template
- VK_KHR_sampler_ycbcr_conversion
- VK_KHR_get_memory_requirements_2
- VK_KHR_maintenance3
- VK_KHR_external_memory_capabilities
- VK_KHR_external_fence_capabilities
- VK_KHR_external_semaphore_capabilities
- VK_KHR_get_physical_device_properties_2
- VK_KHR_maintenance1
- VK_KHR_external_memory
- VK_KHR_external_semaphore
- VK_KHR_16bit_storage
- VK_KHR_external_fence
- VK_KHR_maintenance2
- VK_KHR_variable_pointers
- VK_KHR_dedicated_allocation
Additional extension considerations
- All KHX extensions have been promoted to KHR extensions
- The KHX versions of these extensions are no longer supported
