Description

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

  • VK_KHR_8bit_storage

  • VK_KHR_buffer_device_address

  • VK_KHR_create_renderpass2

  • VK_KHR_depth_stencil_resolve

  • VK_KHR_draw_indirect_count

  • VK_KHR_driver_properties

  • VK_KHR_image_format_list

  • VK_KHR_imageless_framebuffer

  • VK_KHR_sampler_mirror_clamp_to_edge

  • VK_KHR_separate_depth_stencil_layouts

  • VK_KHR_shader_atomic_int64

  • VK_KHR_shader_float16_int8

  • VK_KHR_shader_float_controls

  • VK_KHR_shader_subgroup_extended_types

  • VK_KHR_spirv_1_4

  • VK_KHR_timeline_semaphore

  • VK_KHR_uniform_buffer_standard_layout

  • VK_KHR_vulkan_memory_model

  • VK_EXT_descriptor_indexing

  • VK_EXT_host_query_reset

  • VK_EXT_sampler_filter_minmax

  • VK_EXT_scalar_block_layout

  • VK_EXT_separate_stencil_usage

  • VK_EXT_shader_viewport_index_layer

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