RenderDoc v1.43 Released with Custom Annotations; AMD Driver Debug Bug Noted

RenderDoc v1.43 was recently released, introducing a new custom annotation system along with various other improvements and bugfixes. The update highlights a known issue where, according to the release notes, "AMD's official drivers contain a reported bug that may cause any shader debugging that depends on multiple threads to fail to debug correctly." Users are also reminded of potential problems when utilizing VK_EXT_descriptor_buffer, a concern previously noted in the v1.40 release. Binary builds for RenderDoc v1.43 are available on renderdoc.org. This release provides developers with enhanced diagnostic capabilities for GPU graphics applications, though caution is advised for users with specific AMD driver configurations or VK_EXT_descriptor_buffer usage.
