VulkanMemoryAllocator/CHANGELOG.md

2.0.0 (2018-03-19)

A major release with many compatibility-breaking changes.

Notable new features:

• Introduction of VmaAllocation handle that you must retrieve from allocation functions and pass to deallocation functions next to normal VkBuffer and VkImage.
• Introduction of VmaAllocationInfo structure that you can retrieve from VmaAllocation handle to access parameters of the allocation (like VkDeviceMemory and offset) instead of retrieving them directly from allocation functions.
• Support for reference-counted mapping and persistently mapped allocations - see vmaMapMemory, VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_MAPPED_BIT.
• Support for custom memory pools - see VmaPool handle, VmaPoolCreateInfo structure, vmaCreatePool function.
• Support for defragmentation (compaction) of allocations - see function vmaDefragment and related structures.
• Support for "lost allocations" - see appropriate chapter on documentation Main Page.

1.0.1 (2017-07-04)

• Fixes for Linux GCC compilation.
• Changed "CONFIGURATION SECTION" to contain #ifndef so you can define these macros before including this header, not necessarily change them in the file.

1.0.0 (2017-06-16)

First public release.
