Vulkan 1.1.123 Released With Two New Extensions
Besides the usual variety of documentation clarifications and corrections, there are two new Vulkan extensions with version 1.1.123.
VK_GOOGLE_user_type - This extension simply denotes support for SPIR-V's SPV_GOOGLE_user_type extension for SPIR-V shaders. The SPIR-V addition adds a new decoration (UserTypeGOOGLE) so shader compilers can embed type information of the decorated object in the user source.
VK_KHR_shader_subgroup_extended_types - This multi-vendor extension allows for non-uniform group operations in SPIR-V to support 8-bit integer, 16-bit integer, 64-bit integer, and 16-bit floating point formats. Additionally, vectors of those types are now supported.
More details on the Vulkan 1.1.123 changes via this Git commit.
