• Helper: a bit massaged header (no functional changes)

v1.131

• D3D11/D3D12: exposed shaderExtRegister and shaderExtSpace in DeviceCreationDesc allowing to use custom NV/AMD intrinsics in a shader code

DETAILS:

• D3D11/D3D12: various changed around NVAPI and AMDAGS usage

v1.129

v1.129:

HIGHLIGHTS:

• NRI: fixed compilation issues with Clang
• NRI: exposed NRICompatibility.hlsli simplifying cross-API shader compilation
• NRI: introduced "draw count" parameters for "indirect drawing"

DETAILS:

• NRI: fixed compilation issues with Clang
• NRI: merged #64
• NRI: merged #66
• NRI: "draw count" functionality merged into CmdDrawIndirect and CmdDrawIndexedIndirect
• NRI: renamed enableDrawParametersEmulation" to enableD3D12DrawParametersEmulation` for readability

• NRI: removed (unused?) DeviceDesc::isRegisterAliasingSupported
• NRI: DeviceDesc::isProgrammableSampleLocationsSupported replaced with programmableSampleLocationsTier
• NRI: polished "NRICompatibility.hlsli"
• D3D11: hooked up "indirect draw count" if supported via extensions
• D3D11/D3D12/VK: polished code from PRs

v1.128

v1.128:

HIGHLIGHTS:

• bug fixes
• updated VK headers

DETAILS:

• VK: fixed "Wayland" and "X11" support if both are enabled during compilation
• VK: VK SDK updated to v1.3.280
• D3D12: merged PR #55

v1.127

HIGHLIGHTS:

• VK: made more friendly to Vulkan 1.2

DETAILS:

• VK: made more friendly to Vulkan 1.2
• WrapperVK: exposed isVulkan12

v1.126

v1.126:

HIGHLIGHTS:

• VK: fixed scoring system in FillFamilyIndices not properly working on GPUs with a GRAPHICS only queue
• VK: fixed interface querying for "low latency" if it's not supported

v1.125

v1.125:

HIGHLIGHTS:

• added NRILowLatency extension offering latency reduction via REFLEX (D3D and VK supported)
• added NRIStreamer extension offering comfortable constant, buffer and texture data streaming functionality
• added COPY timestamps support
• explicit "waitable" SwapChain (it improves behavior in multi-threaded environment, allowing to "wait for present" in one place and "acquire next image" in another)
• bug fixes and improvements

BREAKING CHANGES:

• SwapChainPresent => QueuePresent to emphasize that it's a queue command
• QueueWait and QueueSignal merged (again!) into QueueSubmit: it maps better on VK_KHR_synchronization2 and needed for "low latency" extension

DETAILS:

• Core: QueueWait and QueueSignal merged (again!) into QueueSubmit
• Core: exposed QueryType::TIMESTAMP_COPY_QUEUE needed for timestamps issued in COPY queue
• Core: slightly reworked DeviceDesc, explicitly exposed NRI extension support status
• SwapChain: added SwapChainDesc::waitable swapchain support for all APIs
• SwapChain: explicitly exposed WaitForPresent, which implicitly improves multi-threading behavior allowing to "wait" in one place and "acquire" in another
• SwapChain: added SwapChainDesc::allowLowLatency
• SwapChain: added SwapChainDesc::queuedFrameNum (use 0 for auto mode)
• Wrappers: minor tweaks
• D3D12: hooked up NVAPI and AMDAGS
• D3D12: updated Agility SDK
• VK: all CORE functions get queried by CORE or KHR names to improve compatibility with VK 1.2
• VK: VK_KHR_swapchain is an optional extension now
• VK: command queues gathering improved by introducing a score system
• VK: removed EXT suffixes from VK entities, which have been promoted to VK 1.2
• Validation: fixed a rare SwapChain related memory leak
• Validation: hooked up Streamer
• bug fixes and improvements
• improved .clang-format
