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 2719576 on 2015/10/07 by Chris.Wood
Added check for stale BP classes in FKismetCompilerUtilities::IsTypeCompatibleWithProperty() to stop compiler errors during reinstancing.
[UE-19795] - UMG Compiler error when adding variable to nested Widget
Change 2721474 on 2015/10/08 by Andrew.Rodham
Sequencer: Movie render operations now successfully capture UMG UI

Added missing resource cleanup code to UMG widgets
[UE-21874] - UWIdget classes with missing ReleaseSlateResources() overrides
Added ReleaseSlateResources() to ListView, TileView and Slider widgets to reset shared pointers to slate widgets.
Change 2733562 on 2015/10/19 by Andrew.Rodham
Sequencer: Fixed spawnables not working in sub-sequences
- The issue here was that sequence track instance updates had no knowledge of which sub-sequence they were being evaluated within. We now pass the active sequence instance into the relevant track instance functions.
- Also addressed some issues to do with save/restore state not getting called correctly on master tracks of sequence instances
- Tidied up spawn track editor
Change 2735264 on 2015/10/20 by Chris.Wood
Improved Engine analytics handling for Editor and games
[UE-21892] - Improve how Engine analytics are handled for Editor and games
Changes:
Added Privacy section to Editor settings
Exposed editor analytics flag in Privacy options
Added Details Customization to make this type of bool property clearer with extra info and hyperlink
Changed AreEditorAnalyticsEnable() to use new flag
Prevented analytics init when disabled by user
Sending event and shutting down analytics when user opts out
Add in-game project setting for anonymous game usage data
Renamed and moved bHardwareSurveyEnabled
Added message about exposing in-game setting to end users
Added anonymous GUID id for in-game analytics
Moved end user settings to global config (defaultengine.ini)
Placeholder loc text on new options for now, pending legal wording sign-off
Change 2735866 on 2015/10/20 by Max.Preussner
Async: Added ability to register an optional callback function that is executed when a Future completes
Change 2739793 on 2015/10/23 by Andrew.Rodham
Sequencer: Refined movie scene capturing to ensure frame accuracies are maintained
- Aborting an in-progress capture now gracefully terminates the process (through a remote session command) to ensure it still creates a valid video
- Level sequece movie capture will now pick up a corresponding level sequence in the world, and use that to capture with. A new actor will be spawned at runtime with the correct asset, should one not already exist.
- Made -nomovie actually work
- Refined how active movie captures are managed
- Added option to 'stage' a sequence before starting the capture. This feature will set the sequence on its first frame for the preroll, to ensure that PPP effects are allowed time to stabilize

Upload crashes from CRC to Data Router
[UECORE-249] - Integrate Crash Report Client with the Data Router
Upload to Receiver still active as we are running both in parallel for now.
This is an API breaking change. If you previously experimented with media assets, you will have to rebuild your Blueprints, UMG widgets, etc. If you don't want to lose your existing Blueprints, you can add the following line to your project's Engine.ini, which will map the old class name to the new one (you will still need to replace existing MediaAsset nodes with MediaPlayer nodes):
[/Script/Engine.Engine]
+ActiveClassRedirects=(OldClassName="MediaAsset",NewClassName="MediaPlayer")
