Today LunarG released new Windows, Linux, and macOS SDKs for Vulkan header 1.3.216 that include the AMD Memory Allocator, Validation Layer Fine-Grained Locking by default, vkconfig enhancements, and new extensions, including enhancements for the Portability Enumeration extension for the macOS SDK. The prior SDK supported Vulkan header 1.3.211.

New Features Added to all SDKs
- AMD Memory Allocator
- Validation Layer Fine-Grained Locking is enabled by default. See the Fine Grain Locking documentation.
