Vulkan 1.2.194 comes with the usual assortment of documentation fixes/clarifications collected over the past week. Plus there is one new extension.
The new extension with Vulkan 1.2.194 is VK_FUCHSIA_buffer_collection. As implied by the name, this Google-developed extension is about catering to their maturing Fuchsia operating system platform. The VK_FUCHSIA_buffer_collection is for handling buffer collections as one or more buffers allocated together as a group and part of Fuchsia's sysmem service as a core construct. VK_FUCHSIA_buffer_collection makes for nice integration around Fuchsia's sysmem service with Vulkan applications/games.
This isn't the first time seeing Vulkan work by Google for Fuchsia OS but earlier this year there were also new FUCHSIA extensions introduced . So far Fuchsia is just deployed to the Google Nest Hub while as can be seen from their development activity there are certainly greater ambitions ahead for this open-source operating system.
The latest Vulkan specification is available from Vulkan.org .
