Did you know that since Vulkan 1.2 has been released by Khronos, there is no longer a need for a Vulkan SDK based on 1.0 or 1.1 headers? Read on to learn more in this recently updated and newly titled white paper.

This white paper discusses Vulkan SDK version compatibility. This paper was formerly titled: White Paper Update: Vulkan 1.1 Compatibility Statement & SDK Strategy.
