OpenXR SDK 1.1.37 (2024-05-23)

This release primarily adds new defines for easier use of both OpenXR 1.0 and
1.1 with up-to-date headers, some documentation improvements, and improvements
for Android, including support for using the "API Dump" and "Validation" API
layers in your own APK during the development process.

• Registry
  • Addition: New XR_API_VERSION_1_0 and XR_API_VERSION_1_1 defines to allow
    applications to easily specify OpenXR "major" and "minor" version while passing
    through the "patch" version.

    internal MR 3354,
    internal issue 2254)

  • Fix: Add "palm_pose" to "touch_controller_pro" and "touch_controller_plus" in
    XML.
    (internal MR 3363)
  • Improvement: Add Schematron rule to avoid triggering edge cases of vendor tags
    ending with X.
    (internal MR 3341)
  • Reservation: Reserve extension numbers for a few new EXT extensions.
    (internal MR 3285,
    internal MR 3292)

    clarification.
