Changelog

Version 1.0.13

New features:

• Variable Rate Shading (VRS) Tier 2 support
• Wide wave size emulation support
• Redesigned barriers, more likely to catch app bugs and with higher throughput
• Max virtual address space per resource increased to 40 bits, so resources/heaps can be larger than 4GiB
  • Note: There are some known issues here, but main scenarios should work. Please report bugs to the DirectX Discord (https://discord.com/invite/directx).
• WARP now claims feature level 12_2, aka DirectX 12 Ultimate!
• D3D12 video encoding/decoding support using Media Foundation, only on platforms where Media Foundation codec support is present, for H.264/H.265.

Bug fixes:

• Fix incompatibility between new WARP and old D3D12SDKLayers
• Fixes for work graphs where record reads are done under non-uniform control flow
• Fix a rare race condition which can deadlock work graph backing store initialization
• Fix the default blend state for a generic graphics program in state objects to handle multiple render targets
• Fix ICBs for work graphs (i.e. DXIL global constant data)

Version 1.0.12

New features:

• Now including arm64 binaries

Bug fixes:

• Fix mesh shaders on Win11 retail D3D12
• Fix accessing static const arrays in generic programs
• Fix arm64 instruction encoding which could cause random crashes in shader execution
• Fix state objects exporting the same non-library shader with multiple names/aliases
• Fix handling of zeroing used by lifetime markers on older shader models
• Fix handling of lifetime markers in node shaders
• Handle a null global root signature in a work graph
• Fix mesh → PS linkage for primitive outputs that were not marked nointerpolate in the PS input
• Fix back-to-back DispatchGraph without a barrier to correctly share the backing memory
• Fix a race condition in BVH builds which could cause corrupted acceleration structures

Version 1.0.11

New features:

• Shader model 6.8 support
• Work graphs support

• Fix ExecuteIndirect to not modify the app-provided arg buffer
• Fix root signature visibility for amplification and mesh shaders
• Handle DXIL initializers for non-constant global variables
• Fix uninitialized memory causing potential issues with amplification shaders
• Fix deadlock from using the same shader across multiple queues with out-of-order waits
• Some fixes for handling of tiled resources
