- Time reading from pak handles
- Number of open pak handles
Change 2881199 on 2016/02/25 by Graeme.Thornton@GThornton_DevCore
Use 32 bit CRCs to hash chunk contents rather than SHA1. Much faster to compute than SHA1, and the decrypting 4 bytes rather than 20 is also a lot faster
Change 2885687 on 2016/02/29 by Robert.Manuszewski@Robert.Manuszewski_NCL_Stream1
Close disregard for GC pool when disabling it to leave it in a good state.

Change 2891812 on 2016/03/03 by Graeme.Thornton@GThornton_DevCore
Refactoring of pak signing to be more compatible with patching
- Store signatures in a block at the end of the pak file
- Optimize decryption of signatures by serializing them all when the pak is opened, and decrypting on the chunk cache worker thread between read requests.
Change 2891813 on 2016/03/03 by Robert.Manuszewski@Robert.Manuszewski_NCL_Stream2
Don't compile UnrealPak with ICU

Change 2864843 on 2016/02/12 by Ben.Marsh
Add individual 'status', 'outcome', and 'error_code' fields to parsed jobsteps. Should fix grid view not being able to display 'pending' icons.
Change 2865161 on 2016/02/12 by Ben.Marsh
Stop storing a reference to UEBuildTarget from UEBuildModule. It creates an awkward cyclic data dependency, and makes it easy for people to write lazy code that just reaches into the internal state of the build.
Change 2865643 on 2016/02/12 by Ben.Marsh
Rename UEBuildModuleType to UHTModuleType, and move implementation into ExternalExecution.
Change 2874408 on 2016/02/19 by Ben.Marsh
Automatically sort nodes in the dashboard grid view by a weight derived from the node's order in the build graph, summed across all the jobs in which it was present.
Change 2879572 on 2016/02/24 by Ben.Marsh
Allow spoofing a Git merge from a given commit, using a changelist description containing the tag "git merge <branch> <changelist>", where <branch> is the name of a branch on Git (eg. master, 4.11, etc..), and <changelist> is the changelist being merged in.
Change 2883216 on 2016/02/26 by Ben.Marsh
Prevent Jira tickets being incorrectly updated with 'Main CL' fields which are after the 'Fix CL' fields.
Change 2883755 on 2016/02/26 by Ben.Marsh

Dump all the *.crash files produced while running commandlets, to make it easier to diagnose build system crashes cooking on Mac.
Change 2888235 on 2016/03/01 by Ben.Marsh
Add overloads for methods in FileFilter which take FileReference and DirectoryReference objects.
Change 2889602 on 2016/03/02 by Ben.Marsh
Treat shaders as code in UGS. Don't sync them as part of content-only syncs, and don't allow syncing past them without updated binaries.
Change 2889610 on 2016/03/02 by Ben.Marsh
Fix setting for using incremental builds not being saved. Also hide command to do incremental builds if the 'use incremental builds' option is not checked.
Change 2891866 on 2016/03/03 by Matthew.Griffin
Removed Rocket specific batch files and made sure installed build won't try to include them
Removed last use of RocketGenerateProjectFiles.sh by using UBT directly instead
Change 2893349 on 2016/03/03 by Ben.Marsh
Add derived ReplicatedBranch to support mirroring the VR editor branch to GitHub.
Change 2894703 on 2016/03/04 by Ben.Marsh

Minor changes to support BuildGraph:
* UE4Build now has a static function that can update version files.
* Adding FileReference/DirectoryReference methods to FileFilter and CommandUtils.
* FileFilter treats any pattern containing a slash as implictly starting from the root directory, unless it begins with "...".
Change 2898095 on 2016/03/07 by Ben.Marsh
UAT - Don't retry builds if we're using local executor; we don't encounter failures due to timeouts.
Change 2898248 on 2016/03/07 by Ben.Marsh
UBT - Add the standard game include paths back in to plugin modules. Existing game code relies on this.
Change 2898615 on 2016/03/08 by Matthew.Griffin
Removed last uses of RunningRocket function
All seemed to be overly cautious about people using an Installed build to do non standard things, don't see any ill effects in the most common circumstances.
Change 2898681 on 2016/03/08 by Matthew.Griffin
Removed Automation.RunningRocket function as there are no more uses
Changed the majority of comments referencing Rocket mode that are now either about the engine being installed or from the Launcher etc.

Change 2718441 on 2015/10/06 by Ben.Marsh@Ben.Marsh_T3245_Stream
Allow nodes to be added with an "explicit" frequency, meaning that they'll only be part of manually triggered builds (not CIS).
Change 2718698 on 2015/10/06 by Ben.Marsh@Ben.Marsh_T3245_Stream
Add a type of node that can execute an arbitrary sequence of tasks, and allow constructing graphs of such nodes from an XML file.
Change 2723013 on 2015/10/09 by Ben.Marsh@Ben.Marsh_T3245_Stream
Small utility to quickly capture a workspace, or delete files to restore the workspace to a previously captured state (and output a p4 sync list to restore it)
Change 2744521 on 2015/10/28 by Matthew.Griffin@Matthew.Griffin_G5772_BuildStream
Adding config entries to determine which platforms/configurations are available
Currently only written out as part of the Rocket Build process but could be done elsewhere for other types of installed build.
A near identical singleton class is used in both C++ and C# to load the config section and check whether configuration/platform combinations are valid.
Change 2773723 on 2015/11/19 by Ben.Marsh@Ben.Marsh_T3245_Stream
Copying UnrealGameSync into Engine/Source/Programs.

Change 2775317 on 2015/11/20 by Ben.Marsh@Ben.Marsh_T3245_Stream
Add a -listtps option to UBT, which will find all the TPS files in any directory that's compiled into a target.
Change 2780832 on 2015/11/25 by Ben.Marsh@Ben.Marsh_T3245_Stream
Allow compiling a single file in UBT. Pass -singlefile=<Path> on command line to UBT to use.
Change 2781071 on 2015/11/25 by Ben.Marsh@Ben.Marsh_T3245_Stream
Precompile all valid engine modules for Rocket by default. Modules may set the PrecompileForTargets field to control which configurations they should be compiled for. Modules which currently fail to compile have this set to
PrecompileTargetsType.None.
#codereview Matthew.Griffin
Change 2784469 on 2015/12/01 by Matthew.Griffin@Matthew.Griffin_G5772_BuildStream
Added -FastPDB commandline parameter for UBT, so that we can make use of the /DEBUG:FASTLINK option in VS2015
Change 2784722 on 2015/12/01 by Matthew.Griffin@Matthew.Griffin_G5772_BuildStream
Made -FastPDB option part of BuildConfiguration instead of checking commandline at each place it's used. Also added option to override if someone doesn't want it automatically added to their project files.
Change 2787501 on 2015/12/02 by Ben.Marsh@Ben.Marsh_T3245_Stream

MAJOR FEATURES + CHANGES
==========================
Change 2783106 on 2015/11/30 by Robert.Manuszewski@Robert.Manuszewski_NCL_Stream2
Introduced GC UObject clusters. GC clusters provide means to create disregard for GC subsets at load time (e.g. Materials with material expressions and their textures).
- Saves about 25ms in reachability analysis (58ms -> 33ms)
- UObject classes/instances can now be marked as cluster root objects with CanBeClusterRoot() function override.
- Cluster creation is automatic. Clusters don't require any manual handling for GC to collect them when nothing is referencing them.
- Moved token stream processing to a new class FFastReferenceFinder to make it more generic and re-usable by other code
- Removed REFERENCE_INFO macro from GC code and replaced it with a local variable (saves about ~1.9ms: 33.2ms -> 31.3ms)
Change 2773094 on 2015/11/19 by Steve.Robb@Dev-Core
Multicast script delegate check for existing bindings replaced with ensure.
Multicast native delegate no longer checks for existing bindings.
Removal of old delegate code.
Some FORCEINLINEing to improve debugging experience of stepping into delegate code.
Change 2782180 on 2015/11/27 by Graeme.Thornton@GThornton_DesktopMaster
Make scoped seconds timer class available outside of stats build. Normal usage macros still remain guarded
Added SCOPE_SECONDS_COUNTER_RECURSION_SAFE which only times during the outmost instance of a recursive function
Added SCOPE_SECONDS_COUNTER_RECURSION_SAFE_BASE and SCOPE_SECONDS_COUNTER_BASE which are defined in all build types, for easy temporary timing in Test/Shipping builds.
Added a boolean parameter to the timer class which can be used to disable it without having to mess around with scoping the calling code
Change 2782635 on 2015/11/30 by Graeme.Thornton@GThornton_DesktopMaster
Added GetTimeStampPair() to the filemanager and platformfile interfaces. Requests timestamps for a pair of files where we assume that both files would always exist at the same wrapper level. Allows us to skip file system queries for localization package lookups where the native file is in a pak but the localized file doesn't exist.

FMath::IsPowerOfTwo is now templated to take any type.
Change 2773643 on 2015/11/19 by Steve.Robb@Dev-Core
GetDelegateInstance() calls replaced - delegate instances never compare equal unless you are comparing two unbound delegates (both null) or comparing a delegate with itself.

#UE4 Removed DiskCachedAssetDataBuffer as it was not strictly necessary and was triggering a crash when loading the cached registry from disk. This data is now stored directly in DiskCachedAssetDataMap. It was already true that this map does not change outside of SerializeCache but now it is critical since NewCachedAssetDataMap keeps pointers directly to its values.
Asset registry fixes by Bob Tellez. Possible fix for UE-23783.

FReferenceCollector::AddReferenceObjects performance improvements for TArrays. ARO will no longer call HandleObjectReference multiple times but instead will call HandleObjectReferences just once (currently only implemented for FGCCollector). Reduces the number of virtual function calls while GC'ing.

All changes regarding e-mail discussion titled "Asset registry shenanigans".
Changes:
1. Engine now actively is getting rid of short asset paths in FStringAssetReference during saving (for all packages) and loading (only for older packages).
2. Deprecated direct access to FStringAssetReference.AssetLongPathname and exposed it via ToString and SetPath -- SetPath is making sure the path is in correct format. If the path can't be found on disk, the path is cleared.
3. Also access to FStringAssetReference.AssetLongPathnam via Blueprints is guarded using custom Make node function that uses SetPath instead of simple assign.
4. StringAssetReferenceMap will now contain only paths to packages (not objects) and ini references
5. GetDependencies now has additional parameter that lets you chose if it should resolve ini references or not. It was left not as default to keep old behaviour.

[CL 2557832 by Steve Robb in Main branch]
Newly installed versions of the engine will now attempt to copy the project-agnostic config settings from a previous engine installation. This happens by way of a versioned manifest that copies old versions when the manifest does not exist, or is a different version. This code path is benign for non-installed versions of the engine (or FPaths::ShouldSaveToUserDir() is false).
EditorGameAgnosticSettings and EditorUserSettings ini paths have been renamed to EditorSettings and EditorPerProjectUserSettings respectively to better convey their purpose. In general, most settings should be saved in EditorSettings (project-agnostic) so that they apply regardless of which project is open. We have some way to go migrating existing settings for this to be the case, however.
Some previously per-project configuration files are now project-agnostic (such as Editor.ini, EditorKeyBindings.ini, and EditorLayout.ini)
GEditor->Access...Settings and GEditor->Get...Settings have been removed in favor of direct access of the CDO through GetMutableDefault<> and GetDefault<> respectively. Global config ini filenames that are not set up are now neither loaded nor saved on build machines, to handle the problem of indeterminate state more generically.
This addresses UETOOL-270 (Most editor preferences should be project-agnostic)
