How to Build and Run

BUILD.md provides instructions to build the repository, which allows regenerating the Vulkan Profiles Toolset against new Vulkan Header API version and with supports of new profiles or updated profiles.

Version Tagging Scheme

Updates to this repository which correspond to a new Vulkan specification release are tagged using the following format: v<version> (e.g., v1.3.266).

Note: Marked version releases have undergone thorough testing but do not imply the same quality level as SDK tags. SDK tags follow the vulkan-sdk-<version>.<patch> format (e.g., vulkan-sdk-1.3.266.0).

This scheme was adopted following the 1.3.266 Vulkan specification release.
