The Khronos Group has announced the release of Vulkan 1.4. Vulkan 1.4 integrates and mandates support for many proven features into its core specification, expanding the functionality that is consistently available to developers, greatly simplifying application development and deployment across multiple platforms. It consolidates numerous previously optional extensions, features, and increased minimum hardware limits.
