If you still need to old behavior of searching for a library we use the new PublicSystemLibraries instead (used very sparingly).
Also updated conventions on importing Android libraries to use the newly introduced Android Architecture instead, which is always set to a valid architecuture (unlike Target.Architecture for the general case)
Lastly I updated some build.cs files that were doing filesystem enumeration or copying as they were being parsed, this is highly discouraged (partially because we cache filesystem operations but also it adds a cost to something we expect to be very fast). Any operations like this should be done as part of the build if they have to be done at all.

MAJOR FEATURES & CHANGES
============================
Change 3805828 by Gil.Gribb
UE4 - Fixed a bug in the lock free stalling task queue and adjusted a comment. The code is not current used, so this is not actually change the way the code works.
Change 3806784 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Remove code to compile UBT when using UE4Build. It should already be compiled as a dependency of UAT.
Change 3807549 by Graeme.Thornton
Add a cook timer around VerifyCanCookPackage. A licensee reports this taking a lot of time so it'll be good to account for it.
Change 3807727 by Graeme.Thornton
Unhide the text asset format experimental editor option
Change 3807746 by Josh.Engebretson
Remove WER from iOS platform
Change 3807928 by Robert.Manuszewski
When async loading, GC Clusters will be created after packages have been processed to avoid situations where some of the objects that are being added to a cluster haven't been fully loaded yet
Change 3808221 by Steve.Robb
GitHub #4307 - Made GetModulePtr() thread safe by not using GetModule()
^ I'm not convinced by how much thread-safer this is really, but it's tidier anyway.
Change 3809233 by Graeme.Thornton
TBA: Misc changes to text asset commandlet
- Rename mode to "loadsave"
- Add -outputFormat option which can be assigned "text" or "binary"
- When saving binary, use a differentiated filename so that source assets aren't overwritten
Change 3809518 by Ben.Marsh
Remove the outdated UnrealSync automation script.
Change 3809643 by Steve.Robb

Add support for writing specific log channels to their own files
Change 3811197 by Graeme.Thornton
Minor updates to output formatting and timing for the text asset commandlet
Change 3811257 by Robert.Manuszewski
Cluster creation will now be time-sliced

Define out non-monolithic module functions.
Change 3812561 by Steve.Robb
GitHub #3886 : Enable Brace-Initialization for Declaring Variables
Incorrect semi-colon search removed after discussion with author.
Test added.
#jira UE-48242
Change 3812864 by Steve.Robb
Removal of some unproven code which was supposed to fix hot reloading BP class functions in plugins.
See: https://udn.unrealengine.com/questions/376978/aitask-blueprint-nodes-disappear-when-their-module.html
#jira UE-53089
Change 3820358 by Ben.Marsh
PR #4358: Incredibuild use ShowAgent by default (Contributed by projectgheist)
Change 3822594 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Improvements to log file handling.
- Always create log files in the final location, rather than writing to a temp directory and copying in later.
- Now supports -Verbose and -VeryVerbose for increasing log verbosity, rather than -Verbose=XXX.
- Keep a backlog of log output before the log system is initialized, and flush it to the log file once it is.
- Allow buildmachines to specify the uebp_FinalLogFolder environment variable, which is used to form paths for display. When build machines copy log files elsewhere after UAT finishes (eg. a network share), this allows error messages to display the right location.
Change 3823695 by Ben.Marsh
UGS: Fix issue where precompiled binaries would not be shown as available for a change until scrolling the last submitted code change into the buffer (other symptoms, like de-focussing the main window would cause it to go back to an unavailable state, since the changes buffer was shrunk).
Now always queries changes up to the last change for which zipped binaries are available.
Change 3823845 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Exclude C# projects for unsupported platforms when generating project files.
Change 3824180 by Ben.Marsh
UGS: Add an option to show changes by build machines, and move the "only show reviewed" option in there too (Options > Show Changes).
#jira
Change 3825777 by Steve.Robb
Fix to return value of StringToBytes.
Change 3825810 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Reduce length of include paths for MSVC toolchain.
Change 3825822 by Robert.Manuszewski
Optimized PIE lazy pointer fixup. Should be up to 8x faster now.
Change 3826734 by Ben.Marsh
Remove code to disable TextureFormatAndroid on Linux. It seems to be an editor dependency.
Change 3827730 by Steve.Robb
Try to avoid decltype(auto) if it's not supported.
See: https://udn.unrealengine.com/questions/395644/build-417-with-c11-on-linux-ttuple-errors.html
Change 3827745 by Steve.Robb
Initializer list support for TMap.
Change 3827770 by Steve.Robb
GitHub #4399 : Added a CONSTEXPR qualifiers to FVariant::GetType()
#jira UE-53813
Change 3829189 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Now always writes a minimal log file. By default, just contains the regular console output and any reasons why actions are outdated and needed to be executed. UAT directs child UBT instances to output logs into its own log folder, so that build machines can save them off.
Change 3830444 by Steve.Robb
BuildVersion and ModuleManifest moved to Core, and parsing of these files reimplemented to avoid a JSON library.
This should be revisited when Core has its own JSON library.
Change 3830718 by Ben.Marsh
Fix incorrect group name being returned by FStatNameAndInfo::GetGroupName() for stat groups.
The editor populates the viewport stats list by calling this for every registered stat and stat group (via FLevelViewportCommands::HandleNewStatGroup). The menu entry attempts to show the stat name with STAT_XXX stripped from the start as the menu item label, with the free-form text description as a tooltip.
For stat groups, the it would previously just return the stat group name as "Groups" (due to the raw naming convention of "//Groups//STATGROUP_Foo//..."). Since this didn't match the expected naming convention in FLevelViewportCommands::HandleNewStat (ie. STAT_XXX or STATGROUP_XXX), it would fail to add it.
When the first actual stat belonging to that group is added, it would add a menu entry for the group based on that, but the stat description no longer makes sense as a tooltip for the group. As a result, all the editor tooltips were junk.
#jira UE-53845
Change 3831064 by Ben.Marsh
Fix log file contention when spawning UBT recursively.
Change 3832654 by Ben.Marsh
UGS: Fix error panel not being selected when opened, and weird alignment/color issues on it.
Change 3832680 by Ben.Marsh
UGS: Fix failing to detect workspace if synced to a different stream. Seems to be a regression caused by recent P4D upgrade.
Change 3832695 by Ben.Marsh
UGS: Invert the options in the 'Show Changes' submenu for simplicity.
Change 3833528 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Script to rewrite source files with public include paths relative to the 'Public' folder. Usage is: RebasePublicIncludePaths -UpdateDir=<Dir> [-Project=<Dir>] [-Write].
Change 3833543 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Allow targets to opt-out of having public include paths added for every dependent module. This reduces the command line length when building a target, which has recently become a problem with larger games (due to Microsoft's compiler embedding the command line into each object file, with a maximum length of 64kb). All engine modules are compiled with this enabled; games may opt into it by setting bLegacyPublicIncludePaths = false; from their .target.cs, as may individual modules.
Change 3834354 by Robert.Manuszewski
Archetype pointer will now be cached to avoid locking the object tables when acquiring its info. It should also be faster this way regardless of any locks.
#jira UE-52035
Change 3834400 by Robert.Manuszewski
Fixing crash on exit caused by cached archetypes not being cleaned up before static exit cleanup.
#jira UE-52035
Change 3834947 by Steve.Robb
USE_FORMAT_STRING_TYPE_CHECKING removed from FMsg::Logf and FMsg::Logf_Internal.
Change 3835004 by Ben.Marsh
Fix code that relies on dubious behavior of requiring referenced "include path only" modules having their _API macros set to be empty, even if the module is actually implemented in a separate DLL.
Change 3835340 by Ben.Marsh
Fix errors making installed build from directories with spaces in the name.
Change 3835972 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Improved diagnostic message for targets which don't need a version file.
Change 3836019 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix warnings caused by defining linkage macros for third party libraries.
Change 3836269 by Ben.Marsh
Fix message box larger than the screen height being created when a large number of modules are incompatible on startup.
Change 3836543 by Ben.Marsh
Enable SoundMod plugin on Linux, since it's already supported through the editor.
Change 3836546 by Ben.Marsh
PR #4412: fix type mismatch (Contributed by nakapon)
Change 3836805 by Ben.Marsh
Fix commandlet to compile marketplace plugins.
Change 3836829 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix ability to precompile plugins from installed engine builds.
Change 3837036 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Write the previous and new contents of intermediate files to the log if they change. Makes it easier to debug unexpected rebuilds.
Change 3837037 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix engine modules having inconsistent definitions depending on whether modules are only referenced for their include paths vs being linked into a binary (due to different _API macro).
Change 3837040 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove code that initializes members in ModuleRules and TargetRules objects before the constructor is run. This is no longer necessary, now that the backwards-compatible default constructors have been removed.
Change 3837247 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove UELinkerFixups module, now that plugins and precompiled modules do not require hacks to force initialization (since they're linked in as object files).
Encryption and signing keys are now set via macros expanded from the IMPLEMENT_PRIMARY_GAME_MODULE macro, via project-specific macros added in the TargetRules constructor.
Change 3837262 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Set whether a module is an engine module or not via a default value for the rules assembly. All non-program engine and enterprise modules are created with this flag set to true; program targets and modules are now created from a different assembly that sets it to false. This removes hacks from UEBuildModule needed to adjust behavior for different module types based on the directory containing the module.
Also add a bUseBackwardsCompatibleDefaults flag to the TargetRules class, also initialized to a default value from a setting passed to the RulesAssembly constructor. This controls whether modules created for the target should be configured to allow breaking changes to default settings, and is set to false for all engine targets, and true for all project targets.
Change 3837343 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove the OverrideExecutableFileExtension target property. Change the only current use for this (the MayaLiveLinkPlugin target) to use a post build step to copy the file instead.
Change 3837356 by Ben.Marsh
Fix invalid character encodings.
Change 3837727 by Graeme.Thornton
UnrealPak: KeyGenerator: Only generate prime table when required, not all the time
Change 3837823 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Output warnings and errors when compiling module rules assembly in a way that allows them to be double-clicked in the Visual Studio output window.
Change 3837831 by Graeme.Thornton
UBT: When parsing crypto settings, always load legacy data first, then allow the new system to override it. Provides the same key backwards compatibility that the editor settings class gives
Change 3837857 by Robert.Manuszewski
PR #4404: Make FGCArrayPool singleton global instead of per-CU (Contributed by mhutch)

PR #4405: Fix FGarbageCollectionTracer (Contributed by mhutch)
Change 3838451 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix exceptions thrown on a background thread while caching C++ includes not being caught and logged correctly. Now captures exceptions and re-throws on the main thread.
#jira UE-53996
Change 3839519 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Simplify configuring bPrecompile and bUsePrecompile settings for modules. Each rules assembly can now be configured as installed, which defaults the module rules it creates to use precompiled data.
Change 3843790 by Graeme.Thornton
UnrealPak: Log the size of all encrypted data
Change 3844258 by Ben.Marsh
Fix plugin compile failure when created via new plugin wizard. Passing -plugin on the command line is unnecessary, and is now reserved for packaging external plugins for the marketplace.
Also extend the length of time that the error toast stays visible, and don't delete the plugin on failure.
#jira UE-54157
Change 3845796 by Ben.Marsh
Workaround for slow performance of String.EndsWith() on Mono.
Change 3845823 by Ben.Marsh
Fix case sensitive matching of platform names in -TargetPlatform=X argument to BuildCookRun.
#jira UE-54123
Change 3845901 by Arciel.Rekman
Linux: fix crash due to lambda lifetime issues (UE-54040).
- The lambda goes out of scope in FBufferVisualizationMenuCommands::CreateVisualizationCommands, crashing the editor if compiled with a recent clang (5.0+).
(Edigrating 3819174 to Dev-Core)
Change 3846439 by Ben.Marsh
Revert CL 3822742 to always call Process.WaitForExit(). The Android target platform module in the editor spawns ADB.EXE, which inherits the editor's stdout/stderr handles and forks itself. Process.WaitForExit() waits for EOF on those pipes, which never occurs because the forked process never terminates.
Proper fix is probably to have the engine explicitly duplicate stdout/stderr handles for new pipes to output process, but too risky before copying up to Main.
Change 3816608 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Use DirectoryReference objects for all include paths.
Change 3816954 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove bIncludeDependentLibrariesInLibrary option. This is not widely supported by platform toolchains, and is not used anywhere.
Change 3816986 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove UEBuildBinaryConfig; UEBuildBinary objects are now just created directly.
Change 3816991 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Deprecate PlatformSpecificDynamicallyLoadedModules. We no longer have any special behavior for these modules.
Change 3823090 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Improve logging for child UAT instances.
- Calling RunUAT now requires an identifier for prefixing into the parent log, which is also used to determine the name of the log folder.
- Stdout is no longer written to its own output file, since it's written to the parent stdout, the parent log file, and the child log file anyway.
- Log folders for child UAT instances are left intact, rather than being copied to the parent folder. The derived names for the copied names were confusing and hard to read.
- Output from UAT is no longer returned as a string. It should not be parsed anyway (but may be huge!). ProcessResult now supports running without capturing output.
Change 3826082 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Add a check to make sure that all modules that are precompiled are correctly marked to enable it, even if they are part of the build target.
Change 3827025 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Move the compile output directory into a property on the module, and explicitly pass it to the toolchain when compiling.
Change 3829927 by James.Hopkin
Made HTTP interface const correct
Change 3833533 by Ben.Marsh
Rewrite engine source files to base include paths relative to the "Public" directory. This allows reducing the number of public include paths that have to be added for engine modules.
Change 3835826 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Precompiled targets now generate a separate manifest for each precompiled module, rather than adding object files to a library. This fixes issues where object files from static libraries would not be linked into a target if a symbol in them was not referenced.
Change 3835969 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix cases where text is being written directly to the console rather than via logging functions.
Change 3837777 by Steve.Robb
Format string type checking added to FOutputDevice::Logf.
Fixes for those.

MAJOR FEATURES + CHANGES
==========================
Change 3233612 on 2016/12/13 by Ben.Marsh
UGS: Fix cases where precompiled binaries are submitted for a content change.
Change 3235584 on 2016/12/14 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Deprecate the overridable TargetRules.ShouldUseSharedBuildEnvironment() function; targets should specify which build environment to use by setting the BuildEnvironment field in their constructor instead.
Change 3235741 on 2016/12/14 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Deprecate the SetupBinaries() callback on the TargetRules class. Instead of overriding this, targets may override their launch module through the "LaunchModuleName" property in their constructor, and add extra modules to the "ExtraModuleNames" field on the TargetRules object itself.
Change 3238176 on 2016/12/16 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: New XML config file parser. Now reads once at startup and can be applied to instanced objects rather than global fields, and caches parsed output in a binary form for quicker initialization on subsequent runs.
Change 3238249 on 2016/12/16 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Add attribute-driven command line parser.
Change 3238462 on 2016/12/16 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Include the Platform, Configuration and Architecture on the TargetRules. Add a constructor which takes the TargetInfo object and deprecate the parameterless one; these fields are currently initialized before invoking the constructor in RulesAssembly.
Change 3238564 on 2016/12/16 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Deprecate the ModuleRules constructor which takes a TargetInfo argument. Replace it with a read-only wrapper around the target rules instead, so target-specific configuration options can be read without needing to access global static variables. Also require that it's passed to the base class constructor.
Change 3239919 on 2016/12/19 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove the "PreferredSubPlatform" property. This is only used for Windows XP support, which is being retired anyway. Having the target define its own architecture is an awkward contractiction to maintain support for, since the target rules are constructed after the architecture already has been determined.
Change 3240061 on 2016/12/19 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove ThirdPartyHeaderFinder. I don't think anything is using this any more.
Change 3240175 on 2016/12/19 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Add the target name and project file location to the target rules.
Change 3240490 on 2016/12/19 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Remove Mac staging code that requires UAT to compile and construct .target.cs files when packaging, to check bUseSteam and bUseCEF3 flags. libsteam_api.dylib is now staged at build time by adding it as a bundle resource, CEF3 is already marked as a runtime dependency by CEF3.build.cs, and UnrealCEFSubProcess.app is already marked as a runtime dependency from WebBrowser.build.cs.
Change 3240717 on 2016/12/20 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Allow configuring UAT to run as if on a build machine by passing the -buildmachine argument on the command line.
Change 3240718 on 2016/12/20 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Remove target-specific properties that are no longer used by staging (bUsesSlate, bUsesCEF3, etc...). This stuff should all be handled inside UBT.
Change 3241002 on 2016/12/20 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Move most target configuration settings from UEBuildConfiguration to TargetRules. This encapsulates target specific settings that will allow instancing multiple targets in the future. To facilitate migration of settings to their new location, "UEBuildConfiguration" is now a property that returns the current target rules instance.
Change 3241027 on 2016/12/20 by Ben.Marsh
Only copy the Steamworks dylib into the app bundle for monolithic builds. For all other times, just add it as a runtime dependency.
Change 3241055 on 2016/12/20 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Only store a ReadOnlyTargetRules object on the instanced build target; finalize the configuration before it's instantiated.
Change 3241156 on 2016/12/20 by Ben.Marsh
Update SwarmInterface.csproj to .NET framework 4.5, to match what all other C# tools are using.
Change 3241205 on 2016/12/20 by Ben.Marsh
Replace all uses of TargetRules.TargetType with TargetType.
Change 3241881 on 2016/12/21 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove project file information from UEBuildContext base class. As configurable properties are moved on to the TargetRules object, it will no longer be a dependency to instantiate the platform with this path.
Change 3241895 on 2016/12/21 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove toolchain support for Windows XP.
Change 3241908 on 2016/12/21 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Move settings for windows targets into a WindowsTargetRules class, which is exposed for targets to modify via the TargetRules.WindowsPlatform field.
Change 3242835 on 2016/12/22 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix multiple binaries being created if plugins specify module names more than once. MfMedia.uplugin has MfMediaFactory listed twice.
Change 3242837 on 2016/12/22 by Ben.Marsh
Change UE4EditorServices to include MacSystemIncludes rather than Cocoa.h directly; causes FVector to be defined incorrectly in non-unity builds.
Change 3242923 on 2016/12/22 by Ben.Marsh
Build: Fixes for conforming incremental workspaces:
* P4 have table is now reset before deleting all the files. This prevents Perforce being out of sync if the delete fails for some reason.
* Incremental workspaces are skipped when running a clean operation, because they do not have a workspace capture file (causing a full re-sync, always). The "P4 Clean" option is still effective for cleaning these workspaces.
Change 3242961 on 2016/12/22 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Move entry points from PreBuildSync() and PostBuildSync() from UEToolChain to UEBuildPlatform, and make the original toolchain versions static. These functions are already at odds with the rest of the data flow within UBT because they rely on global state cached outside the toolchain instance, making assumptions that UBT is only ever going to be invoked with one target that's constructed in the same run and that nothing is being cached (eg. UBT makefiles). Moving them onto UEBuildPlatform simplifies the toolchain lifecycle for other platforms without leaving Mac and IOS any more limited than they were before.
Change 3242981 on 2016/12/22 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove symbol server handling code into UAT's platform library, since it's never needed from inside UBT.
Change 3242999 on 2016/12/22 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove the StripSymbols() function from the UEToolChain base class. This functionality is only required by UAT, so it's better suited to being exposed through UAT's modular platform classes.
Change 3243022 on 2016/12/22 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Require an instance of the target rules to be able to construct a toolchain in UBT. This will allow configuring toolchain-specific options from the target, using reflection from config files, and the command line.
Change 3243083 on 2016/12/22 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Move settings for the Windows compiler version to use onto the Windows-specific target rules.
Change 3243090 on 2016/12/22 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Change the third party paths in UEBuildConfiguration to constants. Changing these would not work.
Change 3243423 on 2016/12/23 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Move a lot of settings from BuildConfiguration to TargetRules. This allows different targets to have different settings, naturally, and moves converts argument parsing and config to be driven by attributes.
Change 3243516 on 2016/12/23 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove the ValidateUEBuildConfiguration callback, which is no longer used. (XGE settings validation occurs in XGE.cs)
Change 3244020 on 2016/12/28 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove the BaseIntermediatePath static property. Precursor to removing RelativeEnginePath and IntermediateFolder properties.
Change 3244074 on 2016/12/28 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove the RelativeEnginePath variable from BuildConfiguration. UnrealBuildTool.EngineDirectory gives the absolute path, and can be used to construct a relative path when necessary.
Change 3244076 on 2016/12/28 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove BuildConfiguration.BaseIntermediateFolder; just use a fixed directory everywhere instead.
Change 3244083 on 2016/12/28 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Replace FileReference and DirectoryReference instance methods for manipulating files and directories with static methods, to mirror the System.IO.File and System.IO.Directory classes.
Change 3244441 on 2016/12/31 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove code to force PDBs when building with no debug info under XGE. Verified described symptoms (that it causes PCH generation to be serialized) no longer occur.
Change 3244687 on 2017/01/03 by Matthew.Griffin
Changed Exception to use FirstInclude.IncludeName as PrecompiledHeaderIncludeFilename can be null when this occurs
Change 3246112 on 2017/01/04 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix UHT failures building some targets with the -useprecompiled option, due to differences in the order that circularly dependent modules are parsed. Precompiled binaries are now kept in the regular AppBinaries list, but are excluded from the build at the last minute. Also change some checks from IsEngineInstalled() to bUsePrecompiled, to prevent headers being overwritten when running in a non-installed precompiled build.
Change 3246223 on 2017/01/04 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Prevent version manifests being overridden if a file is not being built as part of the target.
Change 3246387 on 2017/01/04 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove BuildConfiguration settings for UnrealCodeAnalyzer. This tool isn't used at the moment, but it's configured using global variables accessed from all over the UBT codebase, making it difficult to refactor the build options into an instanced object. If we bring this tool back from the dead in the future, it should be possible to implement it using the exported JSON target definition or the XGE manifest, similarly to how IncludeTool uses it.
Change 3247004 on 2017/01/04 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Simplify the logic for cleaning targets in UBT. Now uses FileReference/DirectoryReference objects everywhere, doesn't require the compile/link environment, and does all the checking to avoid deleting precompiled binaries in one place.
Change 3247250 on 2017/01/04 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Prevent precompiled binaries being added to the list of app binaries twice.
Change 3247594 on 2017/01/05 by Ben.Marsh
Build: Run sample and template editors on the same agents as the other incremental builds. Remove ProtoStar, which does not have any non-precompiled editor target to build.
Change 3247763 on 2017/01/05 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Allow the toolchain to update the list of build products for each module linked into a binary. Allows Mac to add dylibs and bundle resources specified per-module without having to construct a link environment and try to link them.
Change 3247775 on 2017/01/05 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Instance the target compile and link environments when they are required during building, and don't persist them on the UEBuildTarget instance.
Change 3247811 on 2017/01/05 by Ben.Marsh

UBT: Check for the existance of AndroidManifest.xml within extracted AAR directories, rather than just checking for the existance of the directory itself. Perforce does not remove empty directories when cleaning a workspace unless the rmdir option is on the workspace, so this can cause incremental build failures to fail on build machines.
Change 3249486 on 2017/01/06 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Use relative paths in unity files when compiling for Mac/IOS, rather than generating a separate local/remote version of the file for gathering include dependencies. Absolute paths are only used to work around the way that MSVC concatenates paths internally; we don't hit the same problems when checking dependencies.

Add an optional "RequiredSubmittedChange" setting to EC settings files. Allows a scheduled job to run even if there have been no code changes submitted. Test with the utilization capture job.
Change 3260875 on 2017/01/17 by Ben.Marsh
EC: Fix workspaces getting out of sync wrt. newly added files when jobs are aborted during a sync. In such cases, the P4 have table indicates the new files have been synced locally, but the workspace is forced back to a state before it had them due to the capture file. When a following sync tries to add them again, P4 believes the workspace already has them synced.
To work around this, we now write an additional file to the root folder of a workspace containing the last CL that was captured, and sync back to it before doing the reconcile.
Change 3261724 on 2017/01/18 by Ben.Marsh

UBT: Fix bug where UBT would need to be invoked when switching between two editors sharing the same engine binaries on Mac. The location of the .modules file cannot be guessed on Mac by looking in the same directory as the primary output executable because it's an .app bundle, and the actual modules are nested several directories below that.

IncludeTool: Merging various fixes.
* Fix warnings about #include directives after first code block from parsing monolithic headers.
* Fix exception on startup if the intermediate directory does not already exist.
* Add a special case for ignoring missing header guards from MonolithicHeaderBoilerplate.h, rather than marking it as an inline header. Marking it as inline prevents parsing include directives, which results in including CoreTypes.h from the wrong location.
* Create job objects for spawned compiler instances to prevent them trying allocating more memory than the system can spare.
* Remove (unused) code which makes assumptions about files ending with "Classes.h".
* Add a verbose per-file output log to aid with debugging.
* Negate the MakeStandalone command line option, which was added to allow tweaking forward declarations in already optimized files, so the optimized output does not have missing headers by default.
* Fix missing headers when creating standalone files, due to incorrect list of previous files being passed in to the OutputFile constructor. Now passes the original list of included files, not the output list.
* Fix initial header for a cpp file sometimes being removed. Forcibly including a header at the start of the file does not use the normal pathway for spidering through includes, so a second include of the same file was being generated. Any includes of that header were being forced into output, and the earlier include was then removed due to being redundant.
* Prevent forward declaring enums which have to be parsed by UHT. UHT relies on includes to determine a parse order, and will fail if the enum definition has not been parsed first.
* Use a relative path for private includes in the same module if there are any. Fixes some incorrect paths, and makes it clearer that we're doing something we shouldn't.

Change 3163562 on 2016/10/14 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Tidy up and extend the Metal debugging options:
- Added rhi.Metal.BufferScribble which when enabled will fill freed buffer regions with 0xCD to help identify any areas where we are writing to a buffer while it is still being processed on the GPU.
- Added rhi.Metal.BufferZeroFill which will zero-fill newly allocated buffer regions before any other data is read/written. Useful for catching cases where we might be reading uninitialised memory.
- Added rhi.Metal.ResourcePurgeOnDelete which will purge the backing store of resources prior to releasing them back to the system or the respective pool. This will make any use-after-free conditions much more likely.
- Added rhi.Metal.ResourceDeferDeleteNumFrames to defer releasing resources to the system or the resource pool by the specified number of frames (in addition to the current policy of waiting for the current end of frame & command-buffer completion). Useful for tracking down resource lifetime errors.
- Fixed a number of bugs related to the modifications to vertex stream handling and addition of the SetShaderBytes API.
- Track the start & end of FRingBuffer ranges - it appeared that the ring-buffer usage was invalid but it was in fact only my assumptions about the range that needed to be scribbled for rhi.Metal.BufferScribble. There is still the possibility that command-buffers that are implicitly parallelised by the driver may cause the ring-buffer range tracking to go awry - but with our data dependencies and the separation of the async. compute context I don't believe this is likely.
- Fix up the "nometalv2" flag so that we can disable the features only available on iOS/tvOS-10/macOS-10.12 on newer devices to save having to reboot all the time.
- Fixed the flickering geometry when enabling rhi.Metal.RuntimeDebugLevel=4 which breaks render passes into separate command-buffers - the occlusion query was waiting on the wrong command buffer in this case.
