  • Addded initial support for Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS with the AMD Pro Driver and RADEON RX 480 / Vega. Please see the Linux requirement list below for the required software packages and hardware support. Known Issues:
    • Panini Projection not working in 04_ExecuteIndirect
    • In 03_MultiThread the CPU Graph is not drawing
    • Visibility Buffer is not implemented in the moment
  • Implemented a common interface for Ray Tracing and the first "user" is the DXR. There are now five simple unit tests for DXR. Please read our critical view on DXR here.
  • Published a blog entry that offers details for the Triangle Visibility Buffer implementation in The Forge here.
  • Hiding the code for automated testing behind a #define
  • Changed the architecture for Load / Unload, now they are independent and graphics pipeline creation was moved to Load / Unload to cover render target format changes, MSAA changes etc.

    • Fixed a stencil op translation bug
    • Updated the Vulkan Memory Allocator and the Volk meta loader open-source libraries to latest
    • Updated Vulkan to support Linux Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS

    • Add barrier between light cluster clearing and compute to fix race condition on AMD cards in Visibility Buffer
      and others
