New Vulkan version
Vulkan 1.3 has just gone public, adding some recent features into the core to establish a new baseline for the api. You can find more information in this blog from Khronos and additional resources in this one. There’ll also be a special Vulkanized webinar on February 1st that’s dedicated to the new version.
As with previous releases I added support for the new core version to the Vulkan Hardware Capability Viewer and the database day-one.
Vulkan Hardware Capability Viewer 3.1
Vulkan 1.3 core features and properties
As was the case with Vulkan 1.2, Vulkan 1.3 added dedicated structures for reading features Core 1.3 and properties Core 1.3 that were promoted in the new core versions. On implementations that support Vulkan 1.3 (or newer), the application will now read, store and display those.
Release
The new version is available for Windows, Linux (X11 and Wayland), Mac OSX and Android on the download page. The update to the Google Play store should also be available soon.
