## Information for Developing or Contributing:
Please see the [CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md) file in this repository for more details.

--------------
## How to Build and Run
[BUILD.md](./BUILD.md) provides instructions to build the repository, which allows regenerating the *Vulkan Profiles Toolset* against new Vulkan Header API version and with supports of new profiles or updated profiles.

--------------
## Version Tagging Scheme

Updates to this repository which correspond to a new Vulkan specification release are tagged using the following format: `v<`_`version`_`>` (e.g., `v1.3.266`).

**Note**: Marked version releases have undergone thorough testing but do not imply the same quality level as SDK tags. SDK tags follow the `vulkan-sdk-<`_`version`_`>.<`_`patch`_`>` format (e.g., `vulkan-sdk-1.3.266.0`).

This scheme was adopted following the `1.3.266` Vulkan specification release.
