MAJOR FEATURES + CHANGES
==========================
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 2773914 on 2015/11/19 by Ben.Marsh@Ben.Marsh_T3245_Stream
PR #1687: [GitDependencies] New feature: ignore file support (.gitdepsignore) (Contributed by nbjk667)
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.

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
Restore change to gather VC environment directly from registry.

[CL 2790002 by Ben Marsh in Main branch]
- Added class for allowing reflection of UObjects/UStructs/UProperties/etc., so that properties can be referenced dynamically by string, instead of statically
- Allows game code to be referenced without direct linking
- Allows unit tests to break without blocking compiles, allows easier backwards compatability, and easier archiving of old unit tests
- Very useful for quick debug code; may tie it into the console with autocomplete at some stage
- Example:
FGuid* EntryItemGuidRef = (FGuid*)(void*)((FVMReflection(UnitPC.Get())->*"WorldInventory"->*"Inventory"->*ItemsPropName)["FFortItemEntry"][0]->*"ItemGuid")["FGuid"];
- Added a new stack tracing manager, which can be used by unit tests through GTraceManager, or through the whole engine with the StackTrace console command (see UnitTestManager.cpp for full command list)
- Allows conditional/filtered stack traces to be inserted anywhere into the code (categorized by name), for debugging purposes
- Once-off stack trace example:
GEngine->Exec(NULL, TEXT("StackTrace TraceName"));
- Multiple/accumulated stack trace examples:
GEngine->Exec(NULL, TEXT("StackTrace TraceName Add -Log"));
GEngine->Exec(NULL, TEXT("StackTrace TraceName Dump"));
- Added a log hook for the stack tracing manager, and a LogTrace command, which allows stack traces to be dumped whenever a specific log is encountered (see UnitTestManager.cpp for full command list)
- Example, for debugging the cause of a disconnect:
"LogTrace AddPartial UNetConnection::Close: Name: IpConnection_"
- Added -UnitTestCap=x commandline parameter, to limit the maximum number of unit tests that can run at once
- Added AllowedClientActors/AllowedClientRPCs to ClientUnitTest, to allow better whitelisting of accepted actors/RPC's
- Fixed many broken unit tests
- Adjusted actor replication blocking hook, to allow blocking of all instances of actor replication, instead of just actor channels
- Made console command results, auto-focus the Console tab, if the current tab won't display the results
- Fixed blocking automation testing, when the current game project doesn't support unit tests (doesn't have a unit test environment setup)
- Disable recursive killing of unit test child processes, while TerminateProc has a bug that kills all killable Windows processes
- Updated crash callstack detection
