Core Revisions (Informative)

New minor versions of the Vulkan API are defined periodically by the Khronos Vulkan Working Group. These consist of some amount of additional functionality added to the core API, potentially including both new functionality and functionality promoted from extensions.

It is possible to build the specification for earlier versions, but to aid readability of the latest versions, this appendix gives an overview of the changes as compared to earlier versions.

Vulkan Version 1.4

Vulkan Version 1.4 promoted a number of key extensions into the core API:

All differences in behavior between these extensions and the corresponding Vulkan 1.4 functionality are summarized below.

Differences Relative to VK_KHR_dynamic_rendering_local_read

If the VK_KHR_dynamic_rendering_local_read extension is not supported, Vulkan 1.4 implementations must support local read only for storage resources and single sampled color attachments.

Support for reading depth/stencil attachments and multi-sampled attachments are respectively gated behind the new boolean dynamicRenderingLocalReadDepthStencilAttachments and dynamicRenderingLocalReadMultisampledAttachments properties.

If dynamicRenderingLocalReadDepthStencilAttachments is VK_FALSE, implementations do not support depth/stencil attachment access within dynamic rendering.
If dynamicRenderingLocalReadMultisampledAttachments is VK_FALSE, implementations do not support multisampled attachment access within dynamic rendering.
If both properties are VK_TRUE, the full functionality of the extension is supported.

Differences Relative to VK_EXT_host_image_copy

If the VK_EXT_host_image_copy extension is not supported, support for it is optional in Vulkan 1.4.

An implementation that has a VK_QUEUE_GRAPHICS_BIT queue must support either:
- the hostImageCopy feature; or
- an additional queue that supports VK_QUEUE_TRANSFER_BIT.

Differences Relative to VK_KHR_push_descriptor

VK_KHR_push_descriptor did not include a feature bit, so a new feature bit has been added to VkPhysicalDeviceVulkan14Features to gate its functionality: pushDescriptor. Enabling this new feature has the same effect as enabling the extension.

Differences Relative to VK_EXT_pipeline_protected_access

VK_EXT_pipeline_protected_access is only useful when the protectedMemory feature is supported. As protectedMemory is optional in core Vulkan, pipelineProtectedAccess is only required when protectedMemory is supported.

Differences Relative to VK_KHR_line_rasterization

The bresenhamLines feature is required, rather than just any one of the line style features.

Differences Relative to VK_KHR_shader_subgroup_rotate

The shaderSubgroupRotateClustered feature is required in addition to shaderSubgroupRotate.

Additional Vulkan 1.4 Feature Support

In addition to the promoted extensions described above, Vulkan 1.4 added required support for:

All queues supporting VK_QUEUE_GRAPHICS_BIT or VK_QUEUE_COMPUTE_BIT must also advertise VK_QUEUE_TRANSFER_BIT.
Clustered subgroup operations must be advertised in Vulkan 1.4 via setting both VK_SUBGROUP_FEATURE_CLUSTERED_BIT and VK_SUBGROUP_FEATURE_ROTATE_CLUSTERED_BIT (as an interaction with the promoted VK_KHR_shader_subgroup_rotate functionality) in supportedOperations.
The following features that were optional in earlier versions:

Vulkan Version 1.3

Vulkan Version 1.3 promoted a number of key extensions into the core API:

All differences in behavior between these extensions and the corresponding Vulkan 1.3 functionality are summarized below.

Differences Relative to VK_EXT_4444_formats

If the VK_EXT_4444_formats extension is not supported, support for all formats defined by it are optional in Vulkan 1.3. There are no members in the VkPhysicalDeviceVulkan13Features structure corresponding to the VkPhysicalDevice4444FormatsFeaturesEXT structure.

Differences Relative to VK_EXT_extended_dynamic_state

All dynamic state enumerants and commands defined by VK_EXT_extended_dynamic_state are required in Vulkan 1.3. There are no members in the VkPhysicalDeviceVulkan13Features structure corresponding to the VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedDynamicStateFeaturesEXT structure.

Differences Relative to VK_EXT_extended_dynamic_state2

The optional dynamic state enumerants and commands defined by VK_EXT_extended_dynamic_state2 for patch control points and logic op are not promoted in Vulkan 1.3. There are no members in the VkPhysicalDeviceVulkan13Features structure corresponding to the VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedDynamicState2FeaturesEXT structure.

Differences Relative to VK_EXT_texel_buffer_alignment

The more specific alignment requirements defined by VkPhysicalDeviceTexelBufferAlignmentProperties are required in Vulkan 1.3. There are no members in the VkPhysicalDeviceVulkan13Features structure corresponding to the VkPhysicalDeviceTexelBufferAlignmentFeaturesEXT structure. The texelBufferAlignment feature is enabled if using a Vulkan 1.3 instance.

Differences Relative to VK_EXT_texture_compression_astc_hdr

If the VK_EXT_texture_compression_astc_hdr extension is not supported, support for all formats defined by it are optional in Vulkan 1.3. The textureCompressionASTC_HDR member of VkPhysicalDeviceVulkan13Features indicates whether a Vulkan 1.3 implementation supports these formats.

Differences Relative to VK_EXT_ycbcr_2plane_444_formats

If the VK_EXT_ycbcr_2plane_444_formats extension is not supported, support for all formats defined by it are optional in Vulkan 1.3. There are no members in the VkPhysicalDeviceVulkan13Features structure corresponding to the VkPhysicalDeviceYcbcr2Plane444FormatsFeaturesEXT structure.

Additional Vulkan 1.3 Feature Support

In addition to the promoted extensions described above, Vulkan 1.3 added required support for:

SPIR-V version 1.6
- SPIR-V 1.6 deprecates (but does not remove) the WorkgroupSize decoration.
The bufferDeviceAddress feature which indicates support for accessing memory in shaders as storage buffers via vkGetBufferDeviceAddress.
The vulkanMemoryModel and vulkanMemoryModelDeviceScope features, which indicate support for the corresponding Vulkan Memory Model capabilities.
The maxInlineUniformTotalSize limit is added to provide the total size of all inline uniform block bindings in a pipeline layout.

Vulkan Version 1.2

Vulkan Version 1.2 promoted a number of key extensions into the core API:

All differences in behavior between these extensions and the corresponding Vulkan 1.2 functionality are summarized below.

Differences Relative to VK_KHR_8bit_storage

If the VK_KHR_8bit_storage extension is not supported, support for the SPIR-V storageBuffer8BitAccess capability in shader modules is optional. Support for this feature is defined by VkPhysicalDeviceVulkan12Features::storageBuffer8BitAccess when queried via vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2.

Differences Relative to VK_KHR_draw_indirect_count

If the VK_KHR_draw_indirect_count extension is not supported, support for the commands vkCmdDrawIndirectCount and vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirectCount is optional. Support for this feature is defined by VkPhysicalDeviceVulkan12Features::drawIndirectCount when queried via vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2.

Differences Relative to VK_EXT_shader_viewport_index_layer

The ShaderViewportIndexLayerEXT SPIR-V capability was replaced with the ShaderViewportIndex and ShaderLayer capabilities. Declaring both is equivalent to declaring ShaderViewportIndexLayerEXT. If the VK_EXT_shader_viewport_index_layer extension is not supported, support for the ShaderViewportIndexLayerEXT SPIR-V capability is optional. Support for this feature is defined by VkPhysicalDeviceVulkan12Features::shaderOutputViewportIndex and VkPhysicalDeviceVulkan12Features::shaderOutputLayer when queried via vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2.

The drawIndirectCount feature which indicates whether the vkCmdDrawIndirectCount and vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirectCount functions can be used.
The descriptorIndexing feature which indicates the implementation supports the minimum number of descriptor indexing features as defined in the Feature Requirements section.
