OpenXR CTS 1.0.29.0

OpenXR CTS 1.0.29.0 (2023-09-07)

Approved 7-Sept-2023.

Will be withdrawn 15-April-2024, 180 days after the publication of the subsequent approved release, 1.0.30.0.

There are Windows and Android binaries attached to this release. While use of them is recommended for maximum compatibility, it is not required; you may follow the "porting process" in the conformance process document.

This release contains a large number of new or improved tests. It is expected
that many existing runtimes may initially fail some of these; implementers
should work to resolve these issues as soon as possible.

• Conformance Tests
  • Fix: Use actual acquired image index in swapchain rendering test.
    (internal MR 2746)

    (internal MR 2737,
    internal issue 1932)

    implemented
    (internal MR 2902)

    instructions in the README will cause all tests to be executed.
    (internal MR 2924)
  • New test: Verify two-call idiom behavior of XR_MSFT_controller_model as well
    as handling of invalid model keys.
