5## Default branch changed to 'main' 2021-09-12
6
7As discussed in #222, the default branch of this repository is now 'main'. This change should be largely transparent to repository users, since github rewrites many references to the old 'master' branch to 'main'. However, if you have a checked-out local clone, you may wish to take the following steps as recommended by github:
8
9```sh
10git branch -m master main
11git fetch origin
12git branch -u origin/main main
13git remote set-head origin -a
14```

57As of the Vulkan-Docs 1.2.182 spec update, the Vulkan-Hpp headers have been
58split into multiple files. All of those files are now included in this
59repository.

63* include/vulkan/vulkan_funcs.hpp

68## Version Tagging Scheme
69
70Updates to the `Vulkan-Headers` repository which correspond to a new Vulkan
71specification release are tagged using the following format:
72`v<`_`version`_`>` (e.g., `v1.1.96`).
73
74**Note**: Marked version releases have undergone thorough testing but do not
75imply the same quality level as SDK tags. SDK tags follow the
76`sdk-<`_`version`_`>.<`_`patch`_`>` format (e.g., `sdk-1.1.92.0`).
77
78This scheme was adopted following the 1.1.96 Vulkan specification release.
