Vulkan 1.4.363 Released With New VK_INTEL_device_info Extension

Vulkan 1.4.363 has been released with spec clarifications, various fixes, and new multi-instance validation usage rules for DMA-BUF external memory in VkMemoryAllocateInfo and VkMemoryGetFdInfoKHR. The release also introduces VK_INTEL_device_info, a new Intel vendor extension that lets applications query the graphics IP block version of an Intel GPU directly, indicating architecture generation, release, and hardware revision, removing the need for apps and games to maintain manual device ID lookup tables.
