Today the Vulkan Working Group has released two important updates to the API and ecosystem: an entirely new Descriptor system and the Vulkan Roadmap 2026 Milestone. Initial support for these features is expected in the next Vulkan SDK release planned for Q1 2026.

These new features and more will be discussed at the forthcoming Vulkanised 2026 conference, taking place in San Diego on February 9-11.

Really happy to have been part of the journey and of the team that got FEX to where it is today. Can't wait for the release and community reception!
