* SCC operations can be quite slow in some cases - the auto-checkin behaviour results in a large amount of productivity loss and a stall of the editor waiting for SCC server to respond
* Add an option to disable the auto-commit behaviour if required. Users would be manually required to commit the .collection file.

We've had several cases where the previously default alphabetical sorting caused performance issues when it wasn't needed. We now require you to explicitly choose either slow alphabetical sorting or fast non-alphabetical order.
The fast order does not decode, access or compare actual string data, but the order is not stable between process runs.

Encoding improvements
* New hash table implementation
--- Move away from 16-bit hashes since we need more than 64k buckets to hold 2M entries efficiently
--- Change to CityHash64, which is faster and stronger
--- Remove hardcoded max limit
* NAME_INDEX changed from contigouos int to monotonically increasing int
--- Opens up for future deduplication schemes that are better than number suffix dedup.
--- Saves some memory since we don't need to maintain a contiguous array
--- Typed up to cause compile errors when used as integer directly
* Avoid touching data repeatedly, normal path only does single hash of data
* New constructor that allows supplying string length up front
* Avoid dynamic allocations in string conversions >= 128 characters
* Avoid extra copying when splitting numbers
* More efficient IsPureAnsi check
* Only do one global lazy initialization call instead of multiple
* Switch to faster RW locks
* Switch from single lock to sharded hash map with separate locks
* Memory optimizations that reduces per entry overhead: 4 bytes slots, 2 byte headers and don't store null terminator
Improved API & documentation
* Document that IsValid() rarely makes sense
* Hide global state such as GetNames()
* Reduce amount of implementation details visible in header
* NameTypes.h size down by ~1/3 while adding documentation, stronger type safety and new APIs
Future possibilities
* Memory savings: Removing public NAME_INDEX and global FName array allows using the 32-bit FNameEntryId for arbitrary deduplication schemes. This can save both actual stored strings memory by deduplication and half the size of FName instances from 8B to 4B in shipping / test configs by removing the number part.
* Implementation can be tweaked further, for instance could persist 32-bit slot index hash inside slot to increase encoding performance in development / debug at the cost of memory.
Perf & mem results for internal project:
* Editor startup wall time: 12% speedup, 22.0s -> 19.5s
--- Warm disk and asset registry cache
--- Some gains from nametable serialization improvements
--- Some of these gains might be from orthogonal asset discovery optimizations
* Win64 Test Client memory usage with ~400k names: 30.3Mb -> 22.2Mb

Logging improvements for pak signature check failures
- Added "PakCorrupt" console command which corrupts the master signature table
- Added some extra log information about which block failed
- Re-hash the master signature table and to make sure that it hasn't changed since startup
- Moved the ensure around so that some extra logging messages can make it out before the ensure is hit
- Added PAK_SIGNATURE_CHECK_FAILS_ARE_FATAL to IPlatformFilePak.h so we have a single place to make signature check failures fatal again

#jira UE-46274
Change 3589827 by Graeme.Thornton
More fixes for VSCode project generation and for UBT running on .NET Core
- Use a different file extension for rules assemblies when build on .NET Core, so they never get used by their counterparts
- UEConsoleTraceListener supports stdout/stderror constructor parameter and outputs to the appropriate channel
- Added documentation for UEConsoleTraceListener
- All platforms .NET project compilation tasks/launch configs now use "dotnet" and not the normal batch files
- Restored the default UBT log verbosity to "Log" rather than "VeryVeryVerbose"
- Renamed assemblies for .NETCore versions of DotNETUtilities and UnrealBuildTool so they don't conflict with the output of the existing .NET Desktop Framework stuff
Change 3589868 by Graeme.Thornton
Separate .NET Core projects for UBT and DotNETCommon out into their own directories so that their intermediates don't overlap with the standard .NET builds, causing failures.
UBT registers ONLY .NET Core C# projects when generating VSCode solutions, and ONLY standard C# projects in all other cases
Change 3589919 by Robert.Manuszewski
Fixing crash when cooking textures that have already been cooked for EDL (support for cooked content in the editor)
Change 3589940 by Graeme.Thornton

Change 3596807 by Ben.Marsh
Improve Intellisense when generated headers are missing or out of date (eg. line numbers changed, etc...). These errors seem to be masked by VAX, but are present when using the default Visual Studio Intellisense.
* UCLASS macro is defined to empty when __INTELLISENSE__ is defined. Previous macro was preventing any following class declaration being parsed correctly if generated code was out of date, causing squiggles over all class methods/variables.
* Insert a semicolon after each expanded GENERATED_BODY macro, so that if it parses incorrectly, the compiler can still continue parsing the next declaration.

UBT: Add support for adaptive non-unity builds when working from a Git repository.
The ISourceFileWorkingSet interface is now used to query files belonging to the working set, and has separate implementations for Perforce (PerforceSourceFileWorkingSet) and Git (GitSourceFileWorkingSet). The Git implementation is used if a .git directory is found in the directory containing the Engine folder, the directory containing the project file, or the parent directory of the project file, and spawns a "git status" process in the background to determine which files are untracked or staged.
Several new settings are supported in BuildConfiguration.xml to allow modifying default behavior:
<SourceFileWorkingSet>
<Provider>Default</Provider> <!-- May be None, Default, Git or Perforce -->
<RepositoryPath></RepositoryPath> <!-- Specifies the path to the repository, relative to the directory containing the Engine folder. If not set, tries to find a .git directory in the locations listed above. -->
<GitPath>git</GitPath> <!-- Specifies the path to the Git executable. Defaults to "git", which assumes that it will be on the PATH -->
</SourceFileWorkingSet>

All automation projects now have a reference to DotNETUtilities
Fixed a build error in the WEX automation library
Change 3590034 by Ben.Marsh
Move functionality related to windowing and input out of the Core module and into an ApplicationCore module, so it is possible to build utilities with Core without adding dependencies on XInput (Windows), SDL (Linux), and OpenGL (Mac).
Change 3593754 by Steve.Robb
Fix for tuple debugger visualization.

Move CrashReporter out of a public folder; it's not in a form that is usable by subscribers and licensees.
Change 3600163 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Simplify how targets are cleaned. Delete all intermediate folders for a platform/configuration, and delete any build products matching the UE4 naming convention for that target, rather than relying on the current build configuration or list of previous build products. This will ensure that build products which are no longer being generated will also be cleaned.

Change 3604279 by Graeme.Thornton
Move pre/post garbage collection delegates into accessor functions so they can be used by globally constructed objects
Change 3606685 by James.Hopkin
Removed redundant 'Cast's (casting to either the same type or a base).
In SClassViewer, replaced cast with TAssetPtr::operator* call to get the wrapped UClass.
Also removed redundant 'IsA's from AnimationRetargetContent::AddRemappedAsset in EditorAnimUtils.cpp.
Change 3610950 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Simplify logic for detecting Perforce settings, using environment variables if they are set, otherwise falling back to detecting them. Removes special cases for build machines, and makes it simpler to set up UAT commands on builders outside Epic.
Change 3610991 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Use the correct P4 settings to detect settings if only some parameters are specified on the command line.
Change 3612342 by Ben.Marsh

Change 3209340 on 2016/11/23 by Ben.Marsh
Convert UE4 codebase to an "include what you use" model - where every header just includes the dependencies it needs, rather than every source file including large monolithic headers like Engine.h and UnrealEd.h.
Measured full rebuild times around 2x faster using XGE on Windows, and improvements of 25% or more for incremental builds and full rebuilds on most other platforms.
* Every header now includes everything it needs to compile.
* There's a CoreMinimal.h header that gets you a set of ubiquitous types from Core (eg. FString, FName, TArray, FVector, etc...). Most headers now include this first.
* There's a CoreTypes.h header that sets up primitive UE4 types and build macros (int32, PLATFORM_WIN64, etc...). All headers in Core include this first, as does CoreMinimal.h.
* Every .cpp file includes its matching .h file first.
* This helps validate that each header is including everything it needs to compile.
* No engine code includes a monolithic header such as Engine.h or UnrealEd.h any more.
* You will get a warning if you try to include one of these from the engine. They still exist for compatibility with game projects and do not produce warnings when included there.
* There have only been minor changes to our internal games down to accommodate these changes. The intent is for this to be as seamless as possible.
* No engine code explicitly includes a precompiled header any more.
* We still use PCHs, but they're force-included on the compiler command line by UnrealBuildTool instead. This lets us tune what they contain without breaking any existing include dependencies.
* PCHs are generated by a tool to get a statistical amount of coverage for the source files using it, and I've seeded the new shared PCHs to contain any header included by > 15% of source files.
Tool used to generate this transform is at Engine\Source\Programs\IncludeTool.

Change 2719147 on 2015/10/07 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Allow the shader cache to perform some precompilation synchronously on load before falling back to asynchronous compilation to balance load times against total time spent precompiling. Added a stat to the group that reports how long the precompile has been running until it completes so it is easier to track.
Change 2719182 on 2015/10/07 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Refactor the ShaderCache's internal data structures and change the way we handle recording whether a particular predraw state has been submitted to try and make it more efficient.
Change 2719185 on 2015/10/07 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Merging CL #2717701: Try and fix random crashes on Mac when manipulating bound-shader-states caused by ShaderCache potentially providing a bogus shader state pointer on exit from predraw.
Change 2719434 on 2015/10/07 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Make sure that Mac ensures reports have a source context and a sane callstack when sent to the crash-reports server.

PS4 - Calc reserve size required for DMA copy when using unsafe command buffers
Change 2726401 on 2015/10/13 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Merging CL #2716418: Fix UE-15228 'Crash Report Client doesn't restart into project editor on Mac' by reporting the original command line supplied by LaunchMac, not the modified one that strips the project name. The CRC can then relaunch as expected.

Fix huge memory leak in Test/Shipping configurations, caused because I am a numpty.
Change 2729847 on 2015/10/15 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Merging CL #2729846: On OS X unconstrain windows from the dimension of the parent display when in Windowed mode - it is OK for them to be larger in this case. They do need to be repositioned if on the Primary display so that they don't creep under the menu bar and become unmovable/unclosable and Fullscreen windows still need to be constrained to a single display. We can now take screenshots of windows that are larger than the display & not get grey bars beyond the cutoff.

Change 2729865 on 2015/10/15 by Keith.Judge
Fast semantics - Finish up resource transitions, adding resource decompression where appropriate and using non-fast clears where we can't determine the resource transition.
Change 2729897 on 2015/10/15 by Keith.Judge
Fast Semantics - Make sure all GetData() calls are made safe with GPU fences.
Change 2729972 on 2015/10/15 by Keith.Judge
Removed the last vestiges of ID3D11DeviceContext/ID3D11DeviceContext1 from the Xbox RHI. Everything now uses ID3D11DeviceContextX directly.
This should be marginally quicker as it stops a double call to ClearState().
Change 2731503 on 2015/10/16 by Keith.Judge
Added _XDK_VERSION to the DDC key for textures, which should solve the issue of the tiling mode changing in August XDK (and future changes Microsoft may inflict).
Change 2731596 on 2015/10/16 by Keith.Judge
Fast Semantics - Add deferred resource deletion queue to make deleted resources be actually deleted a number of frames later so that the GPU is definitely finished with them. Hooked up the temporary SRVs for dynamic VBs as a first step.

Change 2732018 on 2015/10/16 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Emit a shader code cache for each platforms requested shader formats, this is separate to the targeted formats as not all can or need to be cached.
- The implementation extends the ShaderCache's hooks in FShaderResource's serialisation function to capture the required shaders.
- Each target platform has its own list of cached shader formats, analogous to the list of targeted RHIs. Presently only the Mac implements this.
- Code cached shaders are now compressed (for size) to reduce the overhead associated with keeping all the shader code around - this works esp. well for text-based formats like GLSL.
Change 2732365 on 2015/10/16 by Josh.Adams
- Packaging a TVOS .ipa now works (still haven't tried any of the Editor integration like Launch On)

Fix for Android IAP query not returning entire inventory.
Change 2733174 on 2015/10/18 by Terence.Burns
Fix Movie player issue where wait for movie to finish isnt being respected.
Seems a stray bUserCanceled event flag was causing this not to be observed.
Added some verbose logging to apple movie player.
Change 2733488 on 2015/10/19 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Added the ability to merge the .ushadercache files used by the ShaderCache to store shader & draw state information.
- Fixed a bug that would cause invalid shader membership and draw state information to be logged.
- Added a separate command-line tool to merge shader cache files, currently Mac-only but in theory should work on other platforms too.
Change 2735226 on 2015/10/20 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Fix temporal AA rendering on GL/Mac OS X - you can't rely on EyeAdaptation values unless SM5 is available so only perform that code on SM5 & we must correctly clamp saturate(NaN) to 0 as the current hlslcc won't do that for us (& is required by the HLSL spec). The latter used to be clamped in the AA_ALPHA && AA_VELOCITY_WEIGHTING code block that was removed recently.

Improved cooking stats performance for ddc stats.
UETOOL-332 - Collections 2.0
UETOOL-401 - Add support for dynamic collections
You can now reference both static and dynamic collections in the Content Browser text filter, including recursive references (the evaluator guards against cyclic collection references).
The text filter now recursively gathers up any dynamic collection references when the filter text is changed. These are then tested depth first as sub-expressions against each object, to see whether the object is "contained" within the given dynamic collection.
