• Add gl_DrawID / DrawIndex support for MacOS.
• Add native sampler min/max filtering.
• Fix buffer and heap out-of-sync in initExternalMemory().
• Fix incorrect varable usage in MVKImagePlane::getMTLTexture().
• Fix incorrect placement heap check in MVKImagePlane::getMTLTexture().
• Fix device loss when using imported MTLTexture objects with Metal argument buffers.
• Raise minimum target to macOS 12.0 / iOS 15.0 / tvOS 15.0
• Fix desync in primitive restart enable state tracking.
• Fix inverted return logic in MVKBitArray::areAnyBitsSet().
• Fix imported MTLTexture residency tracking.
• Fix swapchain recreation giving 1x1 drawables.
• Fix variable descriptor count query.
• Fix channel corruption on Apple Silicon for color RTs used as transfer sources.
• Fix behavior of VK_REMAINING_ARRAY_LAYERS with 2D array views of 3D images.
• Fix invalidation of cached metal textures
• Fix AMD subgroup size (64→32) and disable Intel UHD 630 simdReduction.
• Fix incorrect placement heap check in MVKImagePlane::getMTLTexture().
• Fix regressions and crashes on Mac 1 (NVIDIA/Intel) GPUs.
• Disable 64-bit float control properties.
• Disable non-working quad control flow.
• Emulate reversed-depth viewports on affected AMD Mac GPUs.
• Do not rely on extension enable for vkGetPhysicalDeviceToolPropertiesEXT procaddr.
• Do not convert UINT8 indices until draw time.
• Do not enable blending when unsupported by format.
• Null-check pColorAttachmentInputIndices before reading.
• Make imported MTLBuffer resident in MVKDeviceMemory.
• Include Metal constant buffer alignment in argument buffer gpuAlign calculation.
• Use max of pointer and constant buf alignments for arg buffer uniform.align field.
• Only apply Metal Constant Buffer alignment to Aux Buffers and Combined Textures.
• Apply Metal constant buffer alignment padding for each descriptor set.
• MVKRenderPass: encode barriers for subpass dependencies.
• Occlusion queries: wrap detection uses stale baseline, crashes when visibility buffer starts near end of pass.
• Prevent null dereference in MVKPixelFormats.
• Improve handling of draw ID buffer binding.
• Restore some checks for Mac1 GPUs.
• Update copyright notices to year 2026.

  • MSL: Add reversed depth viewport emulation.
  • MSL: Fix subgroupBallotExclusiveBitCount() is not available for task shader and mesh shader.
  • MSL: thread_execution_width is deprecated as of Metal 3.0 , use threads_per_simdgroup instead.

  • MSL: Additional MSL specific keywords(signed).
  • MSL: Deal with std140 layouts when copying arrays between storage class.
  • MSL: Rewrite std140 struct padding.
  • MSL: BlockIO in vertex is captured as thread storage.
  • MSL: Add initial cooperative matrix support.
  • MSL: Fix ptr-cast prepass and coopmat typed load/store.
  • MSL: Handle array type writes to builtin clip/cull better.
  • MSL: Fix some extremely bizarre tess access chain bugs.
