Phoronix: Vulkan 1.2.132 Released As The First Documentation Fix-Up Following Vulkan 1.2

Following last week's release of Vulkan 1.2, Vulkan 1.2.132 was released on Tuesday as the first maintenance/point release to this major Vulkan API revision...

Typo:

RenderDock 1.6 supporting Vulkan 1.2,

Why did the minor version jump to .2, but the subversion remained as 132 (as it was in 1.1.132)? Shouldn't it be 1.2.0?

So they carry over the micro version from 1.1? Wtf...

Hm, maybe they plan to release 1.1.133 and 1.2.133 next, each containing the same or similar fixes / clarifications / whatever where applicable? Then they have 2 "parallel" release branches, 1.1 and 1.2, active at the same time, and the latest version of each branch is .132 (and eventually .133, .134…). Eventually they'd drop 1.1.x and only release new 1.2.178 (and maybe 1.3.178 at the same time) versions.

I just made this up, but it would probably work.

Because this project does not follow semver. Quoting the git commit:

      * Vulkan 1.2 initial release. Update release number to 131 for this
        update. The patch number will be used for all Vulkan 1.x spec updates,
        and continue to increment continuously from the previous Vulkan 1.1.130
        update.
