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.

MAJOR FEATURES & CHANGES
============================
Change 4280523 by Patrick.Boutot
Add option in AjaCustomTimeStep to wait until the frame to be ready. Previously, the frame was there but not yet processed so it was possible that it was not ready by the time we wanted to read it. It won't work with interlaced because the 2 fields are processed at the same time. In interlaced, will get a 30fps behaviour when we actually want a 60fps.
Fix bug that didn't set and reset bIsOwned properly when it was first initialized as not owned.
Change 4280526 by Patrick.Boutot
Add accessor to get the leaf media source or output.
Change 4280624 by Patrick.Boutot
Add timecode acessor to media samples
Change 4280626 by Patrick.Boutot
Rework the timing for AJA Media Player. Previously, we took the timing of the frame. That was a bad idea because if 2 incomings video frames were coming a the same time, you would only show one. Making the buffering system useless.
That affects the Custom Time Step since it was waiting for the interrupt signal and in some behavior we would like the frame to be ready to be used by UE. Same the timecode in the MediaSample because we may not used it to stamps the frame.

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.

Removed bulk-data from fonts
The main complaints about composite fonts have always been:
1) They use too much memory at runtime.
2) They bloat if you use the same font face twice.
3) They often break when used outside the game thread.
This change aims to address all of these issues by removing bulk-data from fonts (which was the cause of the memory bloat and threading issues), and introduces UFontFace assets (which allow you to re-use the same font face in different entries within a composite font).
No existing font data is lost during this transition, however you must manually update your UFont assets to reference external UFontFace assets before you're able to edit the existing data (which is automatically upgraded to UFontFace assets *within* the UFont package). This upgrade can be done via the composite font editor.
During cook these UFontFace assets write out the actual TTF/OTF font data as a .ufont file, which is what FreeType actually loads at runtime (the internals of the Slate font cache are now completely independent of UObjects and their lifetimes and loading concerns).
Since we're now always loading files from disk, we can also give the user an option of whether to "pre-load" (which will load the entire font into memory, like bulk-data always used to), or "stream" the font from disk (which has minimal memory overhead, but needs decent I/O performance).

MAJOR FEATURES + CHANGES
==========================
Change 2756103 on 2015/11/05 by Jamie.Dale
Implemented UFont::GetResourceSize to work correctly with the Size Map tool
Change 2756104 on 2015/11/05 by Jamie.Dale
Changed the font used when a font is missing or invalid to be the last resort font, rather than the localized fallback font
The localized fallback font could cause different results based on your culture, and the last resort font makes it clearer that something is set-up incorrectly as it just draws invalid glyph markers for all of the text.
Change 2756105 on 2015/11/05 by Jamie.Dale
Fixed a crash when using an empty FKey property with a Data Table
FKeyStructCustomization was asserting because there were no objects being edited, due to a newly added Data Table containing zero rows.
I've removed this assert, and also updated SKeySelector to no longer require a separate argument to say whether multiple keys with different values are selected (this is now calculated from the call to get the current key, which will return an empty TOptional for multiple values).

Change 2757156 on 2015/11/06 by Joe.Tidmarsh
Implemented "Go to Variable" functionality for widgets in Widget Blueprint Editor.
When we switch modes in UMG from Designer to Graph. We select the variable (In "My Blueprint"), if one exists, for the currently selected widget. Additionally we update the details panel.
* Added SelectGraphActionItemByName to FBlueprintEditor. This selects an item in My Blueprint and also displays it in the details panel of graph mode. SMyBlueprint is not available to FWidgetBlueprintEditor in UMGEditor module as it's privately implemented within Kismet.

Change 2757181 on 2015/11/06 by Jamie.Dale
Cleaned up some duplication in UMG text widgets, and exposed the text shaping options
The common properties used by all text widgets that are text layout based have been moved into a UTextLayoutWidget base class, and all text layout based widgets now derive from this.
The options needed to control the text shaping method used by a text based widget have been exposed via the FShapedTextOptions struct. This contains a way to manage these optional (and advanced) overrides. You typically wouldn't change these from the default unless you knew exactly what you were doing (eg, you have a text block containing only numbers).
This change also updates SRichTextBlock to work with an invalidation panel in the same way that STextBlock does

#UE4 #Editor
- Added support for meta=(TitleProperty="StructPropertyNameHere") on properties of type TArray<FSomeStruct>.

Slate - Improving the way we track references to materials in slate to better keep things alive until they're no longer needed for rendering. Additionally, making it so the we use the material and texture free list when possible when cleaning up things as to not allocate new memory if not required. Concidentually this can help with problems with corrupted memory on destruct as well, because it means the memory isn't really going to become garbage any more.

Slate - A bug in the introduction of custom rendered elements accidentally broke filling out the texture coordinates for standard material usage. Materials should once again tile correctly just like images do.
#jira UE-23118
Change 2761129 on 2015/11/10 by Nick.Darnell
Slate - Removing the Pre-Multiply alpha path the way it was added, introducing it in a way that doesn't require changes inside the shader. Continuing to improve the SRetainerWidget to no longer have a frame delay between resizes and painting, also working on getting it handle clipping correctly but still not there yet.

UDataTable::SaveStructData now writes out dummy data when RowStruct is null
This didn't used to happen, which would cause a miss-match between what UDataTable::LoadStructData was expecting, and would result in a Data Table that could never be loaded again.
This change also improves the error message when editing a Data Table with a null row struct, and adds the editor-only RowStructName property to cache the name of the last used struct (for error reporting).
#jira UE-22789
Change 2762508 on 2015/11/11 by Nick.Darnell
UMG - Making it more obvious what keys do special stuff with anchors in UMG. Fixing the way snapping to anchors works with Control, it now only zeros out the side you're dragging instead of the entire widget, which was silly. Enhancing the designer message system to no longer be based on an enum and instead let arbitrary systems push and pop FText messages. Fixing animations in the anchor drop down to properly animate, broke when we introduced active timers.
Change 2763241 on 2015/11/11 by Nick.Darnell
Slate - We no longer allow popup windows to be larger than the primary display window for windows where max width/height is unspecified. This is to prevent accidential creation of tooltip windows that are larger than the driver allows causing crashes.

UE-19478 - Crash when right-clicking in the collections area of the source panel with private collections present
[CL 2641829 by Jamie Dale in Main branch]
UETOOL-332 - Collections 2.0
UETOOL-401 - Add support for dynamic collections
These collections can be created from a text search in the Content Browser, and allow you to store a search query so it can be reused or shared.
They have some limitations compared to static collections:
- As they never know what objects they actually contain, they can't be displayed in the "Collections" list in asset tooltips.
- They cannot contain child collections.
[CL 2615029 by Jamie Dale in Main branch]
This shows a little colored pip to the right of the collection items, where each color means:
Grey - Up-to-date and empty
Green - Up-to-date and not empty
Blue - Has local changes
Orange - Not at the latest revision
Red - Checked out by another user, in a conflicted state, or missing its source control provider
This also adds an "Update" and "Save" option to the collections context menu. Typically these won't be needed as collections mostly manage themselves, but since we now show when a collection is out-of-date or dirty, it makes sense to allow the user to take action to correct these states without having to leave the editor.
[CL 2610477 by Jamie Dale in Main branch]
UE-17636 - Creating a new Collection always placed at root level
The + button in the collections view will still create root level collections.
[CL 2608865 by Jamie Dale in Main branch]
UETOOL-332 - Collections 2.0
UETOOL-369 - Want nested collections with collapsing
We now have version 2 collections which maintain a persistent GUID for each collection. Existing collections will be lazily updated to this version when they need to be re-saved.
This GUID is used by child collections to keep track their parents, and the collections view (as well as the quick asset management) now show a tree of collections. Collections in the main collection view tree can be re-parented via drag and drop.
Performing Content Browser searches against a given collection will also test to see if an object exists in child collections, and the asset view will now show you folder entries for child collections when viewing a parent (if folders are enabled in your Content Browser view settings).
[CL 2593321 by Jamie Dale in Main branch]
UETOOL-332 - Collections 2.0
This avoids the need to repeat the module name throughout the code (and potentially performing an FName look up each time).
[CL 2572436 by Jamie Dale in Main branch]
UETOOL-332 - Collections 2.0
This avoids conversion from FString to FName when dealing with the collections manager API (which gave the collections view the data as an FName to begin with).
[CL 2572385 by Jamie Dale in Main branch]
UETOOL-332 - Collections 2.0
You can now right click on a collection and change its share type via the context menu.
[CL 2572360 by Jamie Dale in Main branch]
* Moved Slate.h into SlateBasics.h and began shifting less commonly used headers into SlateExtras.h.
* Slate.h now simply includes SlateBasics.h and SlateExtras.h.
* Slate.h includes a deprecated warning now to indicate that SlateBasics.h + specific includes should be used instead.
* Moved dozens of inlined functions using Slate widgets into .cpp files to avoid header dependencies.
* All code samples now include SlateBasics.h and SlateExtras.h so future shifts will not break most those projects, but not trigger the deprecation warning of including Slate.h.
