Before 0.30.0

0.29.0

• -Breaking-: Removed Display impl for flags. The Debug impl now reports flags by name.
• Functions now have a doc comment that links to the Vulkan spec
• Entry has a new method called try_enumerate_instance_version which can be used in a 1.0 context.
• The generator now uses BTreeMap for better diffs.

0.28.0

• Switched to a new changelog format
• Fixed a build issue on ARM.
• -Breaking- Arrays are now passed by reference.
• Builders are now marked as #[transparent].
• -Breaking- Renamed .next(..) to push_next. push_next is only available on structs that are passed directly. Addtionally push_next only accepts structs that can be inserted into the pointer chain. Read the readme for more information.
• New -experimental- extensions. Those do not follow the semver rules and can be removed at any time.
• Added AmdGpaInterface extension.

0.27.0/1

• Extensions are now namespaced. ash::extensions::khr::Swapchain
• Removed vendor tags from extension methods
• Added missing functions for VkEvent
• The examples were updated to use the new builder pattern
• A SPIR-V parsing function ash::util::read_spv
• Added get_pipeline_cache_data

0.26.0

• Fix loader on MacOS.

• Expose function pointers for easier interop with external libraries.

• Builder now uses bool instead of Bool32.

0.25.0

• Adds support for Vulkan 1.1

• Constants are not represented as an enum anymore. Constants and flags are both represented as associated constants.

flags: vk::COMMAND_POOL_CREATE_RESET_COMMAND_BUFFER_BIT,
//to
flags: vk::CommandPoolCreateFlags::RESET_COMMAND_BUFFER_BIT,

• Pretty printing for flags

• Handles can be loaded from outside of ash. See SomeHandle::from_raw. This is useful if you need to interact with a C library.

• Removing versioning from ash. V1_X are now gone. Versioning had very little benefit in practice, Entry, Instance and Device are now version free. A custom loader can still be implemented. The various traits still remain DeviceV1_0.

• vk.rs is now generated from vk.xml

• Ash now includes all docs inside the vk.xml, and are visible in rustdoc.

• Default is now implemented for all structs

• There is now a builder pattern

• Handles are now #[repr(transparent)]

• Various bug fixes

0.18.0

• Fixes arm build => uses libc everywhere. Remove AlignByteSlice.

0.17.0

• Refactor Align to use vk::DeviceSize.

0.16.0

• map_memory now returns a void ptr

• ash::util::Align is a helper struct that can write to aligned memory.
