Vulkan 1.4.318 Released With A New Valve Extension


Just one week past the notable Vulkan 1.4.317 release, Vulkan 1.4.318 is out with some documentation clarifications plus two new extensions.

This Valve vendor extension was worked on by well known open-source developers Connor Abbott and Mike Blumenkrantz. The VK_OHOS_surface extension allows creating a Vulkan surface object that refers to an OH native window for their Open Harmony OS. This can be used for the system window compositor, video encoders, and application-specific compositors on Open Harmony OS, the operating system for IoT and embedded devices worked on by Huawei.
