** Description changed: - Vulkan 1.2.135 adds support for ray tracing, and the dependency chain - goes all the way down to spirv-headers. + Upstream doesn't provide release notes, vulkan tags follow the SDK releases so this is probably closest to reality: + https://www.lunarg.com/new-vulkan-1-2-sdks-support-provisional-ray-tracing-extension/ + + snippet copied here: + <-- + Overview of new features to Vulkan SDK 1.2.135 + + Inclusion of the shader tool chain API libraries coming from glslang, shaderc, SPIRV-Cross, and SPIRV-Tools. + A new validation layer object has been added that processes debugPrintfEXT operations in shaders, retrieves the values to be printed, and sends a formatted string to the validation debug callback. + Easier and quicker to build samples. + Enhancements to Best Practices in the Khronos Validation Layer including ARM GPU-specific best practices checks. + Support for the following many new extensions including new provisional VK_KHR_ray_tracing. + Added support for VK_EXT_tooling_info for several LunarG SDK layers. + VK_LAYER_LUNARG_standard_validation (meta-layer) has been removed and can no longer be referenced. + Some notable improvements to Validation Layer error messages in response to feedback from the recent LunarG Vulkan Ecosystem Survey. + Bug fixes and improved validation coverage. + --> + + risk: + vulkan-loader - very low, the loader library / headers is just the plumbing for the actual drivers to support the new feature(s) + vulkan-tools - fixes for vulkaninfo, no risk really + vulkan-validationlayers - developer tools, little impact on end users + spirv/glslang - updates are required by vulkan-validationlayers to build, again little impact on end users + + testing: + these have been in debian for a week now without issues, and seem fine on focal too, vkcube/vulkaninfo work like before
