Bill Hollings has announced the release of the MoltenVK Vulkan SDK 1.3.250.

Release for Vulkan SDK 1.3.250

• Add support for extensions:
  • VK_KHR_map_memory2
• Deprecate the obsolete and non-standard VK_MVK_moltenvk extension.
  • Add mvk_config.h, mvk_private_api.h, and mvk_deprecated_api.h, and deprecate vk_mvk_moltenvk.h.
• Support BC compression on iOS/tvOS where available (iOS/tvOS 16.4 and above and supported by the GPU).
• Support separate depth and stencil attachments during dynamic rendering.
• Fix memory leak when waiting on timeline semaphores.
• Fix race condition when updating values in VkPastPresentationTimingGOOGLE,
  and ensure swapchain image presented time is always populated when requested.
• Report error, but do not fail on request for timestamp query pool that is too
  large for MTLCounterSampleBuffer, and fall back to emulation via CPU timestamps.
• Ensure shaders that use PhysicalStorageBufferAddresses encode the use of the associated MTLBuffer.
• Disable pipeline cache compression prior to macOS 10.15 and iOS/tvOS 13.0.
• Accumulate render stages when a resource is used by multiple descriptor bindings.
• Respect the bind point supplied to vkCmdBindDescriptorSets() / vkCmdPushDescriptorSets().
• Check if shader compiled before adding it to a pipeline, to avoid Metal validation error.
• Identify each unsupported device feature flag that the app attempts to enable.
• Populate deviceUUID from MTLDevice location and peer group info,
  which should be unique, and constant across OS reboots.
• Populate deviceLUID from MTLDevice.registryID.
• Avoid Metal validation warning when depth component swizzled away.
• Fix depth clamp and texture swizzle feature discovery on simulator builds.
• Advertise VK_KHR_depth_stencil_resolve extension on all devices.
• For correctness, set VkPhysicalDeviceLimits::lineWidthGranularity to 1.
• Improve GitHub CI production of binary artifacts on submission and release.
• Update dependency libraries to match Vulkan SDK 1.3.250.
• Update to latest SPIRV-Cross:
  • MSL: Fix for argument buffer index compare when invalid.
  • MSL: Fix dref lod workaround on combined texture/samplers.
  • MSL: Do not override variable name with v_ identifier.
  • MSL: Use name_id consistently in argument declaration.
  • MSL: Don't hit array copy path for pointer to array.
  • MSL: Use templated array type when emitting BDA to arrays.
