 - Check `MTLDevice` to enable support for `VK_KHR_fragment_shader_barycentric` 
   and `VK_NV_fragment_shader_barycentric` extensions.
 - Fix query pool wait block when query is not encoded to be written to.
+- Ignore sampler update in descriptor set bindings that use immutable samplers.
 - Update `VK_MVK_MOLTENVK_SPEC_VERSION` to version `35`.
