Early version:
- New BP types: Asset and AssetClass
- Now implicit conversion (in Blueprint) from Asset to Object
- Explicit conversion node: K2Node_ConvertAsset
- EX_AssetConst script instruction to store StringAssetReference in bytecode.

#UE-9118 - Graph comments (Blueprints, Materials, Sound cues, etc...) should support multiline text editing
#UE-12964 - Comment box hits (Title bar) are offset
#Branch UE4

Big conversion of FStrings and FNames to FText.
Version bump to move some MaterialFunction UProperty from a TArray<FString> to TArray<FText> (some Engine assets are older than being allowed to auto-convert the UProperty)
Auto conversion of FName to FText (and back) now supported (as well as TArrays of those types).
Searching categories by both the localized string and the source string is now supported in Blueprints.

Fallout from CL# 2535806
#jira UE-15170 - When in PIE, Blueprints display as disabled making them difficult to debug.
[CL 2541246 by Michael Schoell in Main branch]
Reworked how graphs were disabled to stop all out disabling of the SGraphPanel while still maintaining the visual display of being read-only.
Removed concept of TitleBarEnabledOnly from the graph editor and merged it with the IsEditable functionality.

UETOOL-292 - Diffing of Behavior Trees doesn't work correctly
- Added support for diffing decorators and services.
- Ensured that you could see the properties of services and decorators in the diff tool.
- This is now using common code shared with the behavior tree editor (to avoid this getting out of sync again).
- Fixed an issue where nodes containing changes could still be drawn faded out.
- The "DiffR_" functions in GraphDiffControl weren't marking the node as changed since the diff results couldn't hold the information.
- Fixed SNodePanel::DeferredMovementTargetObject always moving the selection into view (rather than itself).
- Added a way to move to a node without also selecting it (SNodePanel::CenterObject).
- This is needed as decorators and services don't exist as top-level nodes in the SNodePanel, so can't be centered on. We instead have to center on their container node.
- Added a way to control what items you want to diff.
- This helps when checking for nodes that have been removed, as you can now avoid having to re-check all the other properties on the node, and just check for their existence (or lack thereof).

UETOOL-293 - Behavior Tree Editor is sluggish
- Made the behavior tree and environmental query pins larger so they're easier to grab.
- Adjusted the node padding so that we don't add the padding for the pins when there aren't any pins.
- Added lodding so that node elements are culled out as you zoom out (to improve performance).
- Fixed connections being culled when they were still visible.

#UE-12866 - Have node comments and reroute node comments act the same
#Branch UE4
#Proj Engine, GraphEditor
#includes some more general comment node / comment bubble fixes

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)

SNodeTitle no longer compares cached node titles to the title the node wants to be to determine a reconstruction, it checks if the schema wants to purge all cached node titles.
