CHANGES

Revision history for Shaderc

v2018.0-dev 2018-09-20
 - Support -fhlsl_functionality1 (also -fhlsl-functionality1)
 - Support NVIDIA Turing extensions. Requires updated Glslang and SPIRV-Tools.
 Fixes:
  #469: Add virtual dtor to classes with virtual functions.
  #457: Fix writing SPIR-V binaries to standard output on Windows.

v2017.2 2018-02-27
 - Add a shared library version of libshaderc
 - Support GLSL 4.6 and ESSL 3.2
 - Fail compilation if a resource does not have a binding.
 - Add options for automatically setting bindings for (uniform) resources that
   don't have bindings set in shader source.
 - Add options for automatically setting locations for pipline inputs and outputs.
 - Add option for using HLSL IO mappings as expressed in source.
 - Add options for setting resource binding base numbers.
 - Add option to use HLSL resource register numbers for bindings.
 - HLSL compilation now defaults to HLSL packing rules.
   (This change is inherited from Glslang commit 7cca140.)
 - HLSL compilation runs SPIR-V "legalization" transforms to reduce
   manipulation of opaque handles (e.g. images), to satisfy Vulkan rules.
 - Adapt to Glslang generator version numbers:
   - To 2: a fix for code generation for atomicCounterDecrement.
   - To 3: change memory barrier semantics masks
   - To 4: generate more access chains for swizzles
 - CMake install rules uses GNUInstallDirs.  For example, install to lib64
   when that is the norm for the target system.

v2017.1 2017-03-10
 - Add option to automatically assign bindings to uniform variables
   that don't have an explicit 'binding' layout in the shader source.
 - Enable NVIDIA extensions by default in GLSL compilation
 - README mentions language bindings provided by 3rd parties.
 - README describes the known-good branch on GitHub
 - Fixed examples in shaderc.h; added C API use to examples/online-compile
 - Fixes issues:
   #289: Don't output an object file when compilation fails.
   #296: Enable use of the CMake in Android Studio.

v2016.2 2016-12-13
 - Describe Shaderc's level of stability.
 - Support HLSL compilation, exposing functionality in Glslang.
   - Supported in C, C++ API
   - glslc accepts "-x hlsl", and assumes .hlsl files are HLSL.
   - glslc accepts "-fentry-point=<name>" to set entry point name,
     overriding default value "main".
 - Support setting shader resource limits in C, C++ APIs, and in
   glslc
   - glslc adds -flimit=<setting>
   - glslc adds --show-limits to display defaults and valid resource
     limit syntax.
   - glslc adds "-flimit-file <file>" support to read Glslang resource
     configuration files, i.e. the output of "glslangValidator -c".
 - Enable AMD extensions by default in GLSL compilation
 - Fixes issues:
   #281: Work around Android build issue with abspath on Windows
   #283: Increase default maxDrawBuffers to 4, to match Vulkan/GLES3.0

v2016.1 2016-10-12
 - C API for assembling now takes an options object
 - Support compilation options to optimize for size.
 - Maintain compatibility with recent SPIRV-Tools and Glslang versions.
 - Update examples.
 - Build cleanups.
 - Fixes issues:
   #238: Fix invocation of python scripts during build

v2016.0 2016-07-07

 - Adds v<year>.<index> versioning, with "-dev" suffix to indicate work in
   progress. The intent is to summarize and report functionalities more easily
   for incorporating into downstream projects.

 - Summary of functionalities (See the README.md for more details):
   - Provides libraries and command line tools for generating SPIR-V modules
   - Supports GLSL source code or SPIR-V assembly as input
   - Supports SPIR-V binary or assembly text as output
   - Command line options follow GCC/Clang conventions
   - Supports various semantics (OpenGL, OpenGL Compatible and Vulkan)
   - Supports #include
   - Supports user-defined macros
   - Supports dependency information dumping
