Vulkan 1.2 promotes 23 previously released Vulkan extensions into a new core specification, and adds other minor features to improve integration and ease of use. The complete list of new features can be found in Appendix D of the specification.
Vulkan is an ecosystem-driven API; the Vulkan and SPIR-V Working Groups define the specification, but the tools developers need to use the API come many teams across the Vulkan community. This issue tracks the state of the various documents and software artifacts needed to develop Vulkan 1.2 applications. As each item is made public, the task will be checked off below. When all tasks have been checked off, this issue will be closed and the Vulkan 1.2 release will be complete. Unless otherwise noted, the target release date for all items is on or before January 31, 2020.
The task list for the Vulkan 1.2 release is:
Public installable Vulkan 1.2 drivers are available for download from the following vendors at the supplied URLs:
Source code for Mesa drivers from Intel (for Intel GPUs) and from the Mesa RADV team (for AMD GPUs) can be found at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/
