Version 1.600.10

Fixes threading bug (intermittent crash) in runtime for apps doing multithreaded creation of raytracing state objects.

Ideally this fix would have been made in isolation on top of the previous SDK release. Unfortunately this was not possible due to build infrastructure changes - hopefully a one-time issue. What this means is that this SDK's runtime reflects the current state of the D3D12 codebase including code churn unrelated to the bug fix, such as support for preview features that are disabled here and exposed in a separate preview SDK branch. Even though preview features are disabled, the codebase is still different. So there is some risk of bugs/regressions that have not been noticed yet in internal testing. In particular there is a reasonable chance that the churn in the debug layer codebase might yield some debug validation issues, but there could be issues lurking in the runtime as well. If you report any issues you observe to us, we will try to address them with a follow-up SDK release.

Whether you choose to use this bugfix release, with its extra code churn of no value to you, really boils down to how important the specific fix is to you (if at all), and perhaps how much capacity you have to do test this combination of runtime and your app.

Version 1.4.10

Fixes a debug layer issue where some ResourceBarrier calls transitioning DEPTH_READ to DEPTH_WRITE were dropped

Version 1.4.9

Contains support for DirectX 12 Ultimate and Shader Model 6.6
