MAJOR FEATURES + CHANGES
==========================
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 2765902 on 2015/11/13 by Gareth.Martin
Landscape per-component layer whitelisting basic functionality
Change 2769487 on 2015/11/17 by Jack.Porter
Support reflection viewmode on ES2 Preview
Change 2769576 on 2015/11/17 by Gareth.Martin
Improved landscape per-component layer whitelisting functionality
- added shortcut keys (plus/minus + click) to whitelist/un-whitelist a layer from the paint tool
- automatically added components' painted layers to the component whitelists when enabling whitelist restriction
Change 2771223 on 2015/11/18 by Gareth.Martin
Improved landscape per-component layer whitelisting functionality
- Removing a layer from the whitelist will now delete its data from the component
Change 2777862 on 2015/11/23 by Gareth.Martin
Improved landscape per-component layer whitelisting functionality
- on the shared verts on component edges/corners painting must now pass the whitelist of all components sharing the vert or it won't paint, rather than causing a disconnect
Better handling of erasing 100%-painted areas of blended landscape weightmap
- It will now pick the first other painted layer on that component to fill the erased value with, so 100% areas of blended layers are now erasable.
- todo: erasing can still cause disconnects on shared edge verts
Change 2780470 on 2015/11/25 by Dmitriy.Dyomin
Use hardware instancing when device supports it
Change 2780679 on 2015/11/25 by Jack.Porter
Landscape layer usage viewmode
Change 2781878 on 2015/11/26 by Gareth.Martin
Better handling of erasing 100%-painted areas of blended landscape weightmap
- It will now pick the *most painted* other painted layer on that component to fill the erased value with, and correctly takes shared edge/corner verts into account
Various fixes to TMap/TSet/TFixedSizeArrayView - all reviewed by Core
Change 2782214 on 2015/11/27 by Allan.Bentham
Prevent editor's ES2 emulation shaders degamma-ing the alpha channel when reading material textures.
Merging using Ronin-To-UE4-Dev-Mobile

Change 2794568 on 2015/12/08 by Gareth.Martin
Fix black spot / hole if all layers on a component use height blending and add to <= 0
[CL 2796640 by Nick Penwarden in Main branch]
Moved the pointer to LandscapeInfo into the base tool stroke class because *every* tool stroke referenced it and it made it easier to expose to GC
[CL 2578298 by Gareth Martin in Main branch]
Most code accessing brush/landscape data by calculating indexes (e.g. Data + (Y-Y1)*XSize + (X-X1)) replaced with scanline[X] style for speed
LandscapeInfo->SelectedRegion is now only queried if it contains anything, to avoid hashing the key unneccessarily (the hash function was showing on profiles :( )
Smoothing tool's SmoothFilterKernel*Scale* replaced by the more intuitive Size
Component brush fixed to be properly centered on the cursor at odd sizes and work correctly with the add component tool when cursor is over the landscape (but part of the brush is off the landscape) and size is >1
Copy tool fixed to copy the selected area and not a circle when using ctrl+c
Also a few style cleanups. for (auto it = xyz.CreateIterator...) replaced with ranged for, enums replaced with enum classes, 0.f -> 0.0f, NULL->nullptr, etc.
[CL 2392355 by Gareth Martin in Main branch]
Refactored landscape tool strokes somewhat, removing unnecessary virtual functions (most of the stroke classes were single-level hierarchies, making virtuals pointless), empty functions and unnecessary dynamic allocation (using refactored TOptional)
[CL 2293878 by Gareth Martin in Main branch]
Rename ALandscapeProxy::DataLayer to VisibilityLayer
Fix visibility tool not showing the visibility layer as its target
[CL 2222321 by Gareth Martin in Main branch]
Breaking changes include:
* Rename of GEditorModeTools -> GLevelEditorModeTools to signify that it applies only to the level editor modes
* Addition of FEditorModeRegistry, responsible for managing and creating new editor modes. Modes are no longer registered with an instance of the mode, instead with a mode factory that is able to create a new mode of that type.
* Editor modes now operate on FEditorViewportClients rather than FLevelEditorViewportClients
* Added ability to specify an FEditorModeTools when creating an FEditorViewport
Moved component vizualiser manager handling outside of individual editor modes, and into FLevelEditorViewportClient. This should make it easier to transplant in future.
This work addresses TTP#334640 - EDITOR: Investigate making editor modes a per-'editor' concept

#proj core
#branch UE4
#summary Rename Trunc, Round, Floor, Ceil to TruncToInt, RoundToInt, FloorToInt, CeilToInt. Added *ToFloat versions. Repeated for FGenericPlatformMath and all derived classes for all platforms wherever applicable. Corrected comment in Fractional and added Frac() which does HLSL-style fractional (x - floor(x)). Checked for compilation on all projects (with cooking levels wherever applicable). Didn't change Fractional to Frac, this will be done in second commit.
