Change 2828332 on 2016/01/14 by Matthew.Griffin
Ensure that warnings from Dynamic Compilation of build.cs files are propagated up to user when compiling in Visual Studio etc.
Change 2828335 on 2016/01/14 by Matthew.Griffin
Renaming AddThirdParty... functions to AddEngineThirdParty... so it's clear we're talking about third party libraries within the engine directory. This removes another couple of RunningRocket checks and uses the IsMonolithic property now.
Change 2831365 on 2016/01/16 by Ben.Marsh
Add a UAT command to remove any temp storage directories older than a specified length of time, and disable the GUBP node to do so when running with -NewEC. Better to set this up as a separate scheduled task for each temp storage folder we have, rather than run it as part of GUBP builds above a certain size.
Change 2832166 on 2016/01/18 by Ben.Marsh
Make INI file parsing much more tolerant to errors, because it prevents the build system from starting up. Now outputs warnings rather than throwing exceptions.
Change 2835725 on 2016/01/20 by Matthew.Griffin
Removed more uses of RunningRocket functions
Switch Linux staging check to see if required files exist until switched to using receipts
Always stage CrashReporter for Linux
Mac and Linux will not use Compile Lean And Mean when generating project files
Allow normal DynamicCompilation check to occur in binary builds
Allow XMPP dependency on WebRTC now that it's publically distributed
Change 2835864 on 2016/01/20 by Matthew.Griffin
Made sure -rocket is passed when generating project files as this has to work from UnrealVersionSelector with every version of the Engine we've released.
Also tidied up some arguments that are set in UVS and never used.
Change 2839932 on 2016/01/22 by Matthew.Griffin
Removed last uses of RunningRocket from UnrealBuildTool
Changed Mac Build.sh so that it doesn't try to build UBT so that it can be used in installed builds the same way as windows.
Combined code doing very similar things for single games and rocket projects.
Removed check on whether to add client and server targets in Rocket as we don't distribute the .target.cs files.
Removed RunningRocket function and the code checking for -rocket on the command line
Change 2846971 on 2016/01/28 by Matthew.Griffin
Replaced RunningRocket with IsEngineInstalled for all Engine programs that won't need to be built.
Change 2853879 on 2016/02/03 by Matthew.Griffin
Added UnrealLightmass to list of programs to build when Build Solution is used and Editor configuration is selected

Change 2790858 on 2015/12/04 by Ben.Marsh
Fix ERRORLEVEL not being correctly returned by build.bat, causing failed builds to be treated as succeeded builds when launched from Visual Studio.
#codereview Wes.Hunt
Change 2792683 on 2015/12/07 by Matthew.Griffin
Removed some usages of RunningRocket() function
Checks for whether engine tools need rebuilding should be ignored in all installed engine builds.
New Intermediate folders should be within project directory and engine's should not be removed when engine installed.
Change 2794194 on 2015/12/08 by Matthew.Griffin
Removed IsRocket function.
Changed IsEngineInstalled so that -NotInstalledEngine will always disable installed engine behavior.
Change 2801483 on 2015/12/14 by Matthew.Griffin
Removed uses of UnrealBuildTool.RunningRocket()
Mac Tool chain test was down to Engine libraries being pre-compiled
Allow Third Party dependencies in any monolithic target, not just games
All installed engine builds should use shared build environment
Removed test no longer needed now that projects from installed builds have game targets
Include engine source if it exists in any installed build to improve intellisense in VCProjects
Change 2803276 on 2015/12/15 by Matthew.Griffin
Removed Rocket switch from ProjectParams as it can always check Automation.RunningRocket()
Removed bGeneratingRocketProjectFiles from ProjectFileGenerator as it can always check UnrealBuildTool.RunningRocket()
Changed a few usages to IsEngineInstalled where obvious
Change 2814190 on 2016/01/03 by Ben.Marsh
Convert ParallelExecutor to managed code, so we can use it trivially from UAT without having to compile with UBT first. Should be moved into UBT at some point.
Also add a support class for creating managed child processes, which are terminated automatically if the parent process is closed. Currently only implemented on Windows, using P/Invoke. Also allows setting priority level of the process, which could replace the hacky way that we determine the physical processor count in UBT.
Change 2822503 on 2016/01/10 by Wes.Hunt
AnalyticsET now uses the Data Router protocol.
* Automatically detects configs that try to use the old endpoint and routes them to the new endpoint. This code is temp until internal games merge the code and have a chance to update their configs.
* There is a new attribute on BeginSession called "LegacyURL" that is "true" if the code needs to have its configs updated, as well as a LogAnalytics warning.
* Updated EngineAnalytics and AutomationAnalytics providers to use the new URL and specify any appropriate new, optional config values.
* Update CrashReporter provider to use new URL and simplified it's provider configuration (now uses AnalyticsET config struct directly).
Removed recently added GetUE4TypeOverride and moved it to the one place in Engine that needs it.

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.
#jira UE-15228
Change 2726421 on 2015/10/13 by Lee.Clark
PS4 - Don't try to clear invalid targets

Merging CL 2724777 - Fixed splash screen rendering for images with DPI different than 72
Change 2729783 on 2015/10/15 by Keith.Judge
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.
#jira UE-21992
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)
Change 2733170 on 2015/10/18 by Terence.Burns
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.

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 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 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.

- Fixed a few cases where spawnables were left lingering around while scrubbing or switching between sub-sequences
- Fixed the root sequence instance being evaluated when there was a sub-sequence focused.
- Selection states are now remembered for spawnable objects when they are destroyed/re-spawned
