VK_VERSION_1_3

Vulkan version 1.3

Vulkan Version 1.3 promoted a number of key extensions into the core API:

VK_KHR_copy_commands2

VK_KHR_dynamic_rendering

VK_KHR_format_feature_flags2

VK_KHR_maintenance4

VK_KHR_shader_integer_dot_product

VK_KHR_shader_non_semantic_info

VK_KHR_shader_terminate_invocation

VK_KHR_synchronization2

VK_KHR_zero_initialize_workgroup_memory

VK_EXT_4444_formats

VK_EXT_extended_dynamic_state

VK_EXT_extended_dynamic_state2

VK_EXT_image_robustness

VK_EXT_inline_uniform_block

VK_EXT_pipeline_creation_cache_control

VK_EXT_pipeline_creation_feedback

VK_EXT_private_data

VK_EXT_shader_demote_to_helper_invocation

VK_EXT_subgroup_size_control

VK_EXT_texel_buffer_alignment

VK_EXT_texture_compression_astc_hdr

VK_EXT_tooling_info

VK_EXT_ycbcr_2plane_444_formats

All differences in behavior between these extensions and the corresponding Vulkan 1.3 functionality are summarized in the Vulkan 1.3 specification appendix.
