-# Vulkan Ecosystem Components\r
-*Version 1.0, January 25, 2016*\r
-\r
-This project provides Khronos official ICD loader and validation layers for Vulkan developers on Windows and Linux.\r
-\r
-## Introduction\r
-\r
-Vulkan is an Explicit API, enabling direct control over how GPUs actually work. No (or very little) validation\r
-or error checking is done inside a Vulkan driver. Applications have full control and responsibility. Any errors in\r
-how Vulkan is used often result in a crash. This project provides standard validation layers that can be enabled to ease development by \r
-helping developers verify their applications correctly use the Vulkan API.\r
-\r
-Vulkan supports multiple GPUs and multiple global contexts (VkInstance). The ICD loader is necessary to support multiple GPUs and the VkInstance level Vulkan commands. Additionally, the loader manages inserting Vulkan layer libraries,\r
-including validation layers between the application and the ICD.\r
-\r
-The following components are available in this repository:\r
-- Vulkan header files\r
-- [*ICD Loader*](loader/)\r
-- [*Validation Layers*](layers/)\r
-- Demos and tests for the loader and validation layers\r
-\r
-\r
-## How to Build and Run\r
-\r
-[BUILD.md](BUILD.md)\r
-includes directions for building all the components, running the validation tests and running the demo applications.\r
-\r
-Information on how to enable the various Validation layers is in\r
-[layers/README.md](layers/README.md).\r
-\r
-Architecture and interface information for the loader is in\r
-[loader/LoaderAndLayerInterface.md](loader/LoaderAndLayerInterface.md).\r

+## Introduction
+
+This project provides Vulkan tools and utilities that can assist development by enabling developers to
+verify their applications correct use of the Vulkan API.
+
+The following components are available in this repository:
+- [*Mock ICD*](icd/)
+- [*Vkcube and Vkcube++ Demo*](cube/)
+- [*VulkanInfo*](vulkaninfo/)
+- [*Windows Runtime*](windows-runtime-installer/)

+
+## How to Build and Run
+
+[BUILD.md](BUILD.md)
+Includes directions for building all components as well as running the vkcube demo applications.
+
+## Version Tagging Scheme
+
+Updates to the `Vulkan-Tools` repository which correspond to a new Vulkan specification release are tagged using the following format: `v<`_`version`_`>` (e.g., `v1.1.96`).
+
+**Note**: Marked version releases have undergone thorough testing but do not imply the same quality level as SDK tags. SDK tags follow the `sdk-<`_`version`_`>.<`_`patch`_`>` format (e.g., `sdk-1.1.92.0`).
+
+This scheme was adopted following the 1.1.96 Vulkan specification release.
