OpenXR SDK 1.1.62 (2026-07-31)
This release includes a new vendor extension, an important fix to several vendor
extension added in the previous release, a loader design doc clarification, and
some software fixes and cleanup. For extension authors, there are workflow
improvements: extensions may now be developed in their own "fragment" XML file
and referenced from xr.fragmented.xml. Provided tooling processes this file to
generate the all-inclusive xr.xml previously edited directly. This reduces the
merge conflicts seen during extension development and makes review easier,
without requiring changes to tools expecting the conventional combined XML file.

xr.xmlis now checked in after being constructed from
xr.fragmented.xmland multiple per-extension XML file fragments, for reduced
conflicts during development. The schema ofxr.xmlhas not changed. Be sure
to runspecification/scripts/merge-registry.shafter editing
xr.fragmented.xmlor one of the fragments, as most tooling still uses the
merged XML registry.
