This seems to take a while.

So let me help out by quoting Vulkan's philosophy of backwards compatibility concisely:

Vulkan works on a major, minor, patch versioning system. Currently, there are 3 minor version releases of Vulkan (1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3) which are backward compatible with each other. An application can use vkEnumerateInstanceVersion to check what version of a Vulkan instance is supported.

Premake5: premake/premake-core#933
In short: they can't guarantee backwards compatibility when someone comes from Premake4.
Otherwise no breaking changes from Premake5 Alpha x to Beta y.
