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 3080789 on 2016/08/08 by Ben.Marsh
Move BuildGraph tasks for chunking, posting builds, labeling builds, and merging manifests into the MCP project. While we do provide public interfaces for this functionality, we don't currently expect anyone outside Epic to be using them.
Change 3080815 on 2016/08/08 by Ben.Marsh
BuildGraph: Add a -GenerateDocs option, which writes out an HTML file constructed from C# XML documentation containing all the task information.
Change 3081374 on 2016/08/08 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Invalidate the makefile if any UHT headers are deleted. Should fix issue where files are moved from one module to another, and the original module no longer contains any generated headers. Its include path needs to be removed from the compile environment.
Change 3083152 on 2016/08/09 by Ben.Marsh
PR #2667: Add Intel C++ Compiler support to Windows build (Contributed by JeffRous)

Change 3084337 on 2016/08/10 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Specify the -precompile option when generating project files for a target, so we include all valid modules for intellisense.
Change 3085594 on 2016/08/11 by Ben.Marsh
Change modules which reference a public header for their PCH to use a private PCH instead, even if it just includes the public header for now.

Add some missing #pragma once directives.
Change 3086146 on 2016/08/11 by Ben.Marsh

Change 3087341 on 2016/08/12 by Ben.Marsh
UdpMessaging: Move PCH before #if PLATFORM_DESKTOP; it will only be defined if the definition is included.
Change 3087457 on 2016/08/12 by Ben.Marsh
Core: Reorganize the FTransform and FMatrix headers: Transform.h now includes TransformNonVectorized.h or TransformVectorized.h as appropriate, and UnrealMatrix.h is now Matrix.inl (and included from Matrix.h).
Change 3088407 on 2016/08/13 by Ben.Marsh
Replace use of Windows SIZE_T define with the regular C++ size_t.
Change 3088416 on 2016/08/13 by Ben.Marsh
Include a header from all .generated.cpp files (GeneratedCppIncludes.h) which includes all the basic types required to compile them, rather than assuming that the module PCH will include everything.
Also include the real declarations of noexport classes in Object.h (now renamed to NoExportTypes.h for clarity) when the CPP macro is defined, so the .generated.deps.h file will automatically have the correct definitions for them at compile time rather than relying on them being in the private PCH.
Finally, rename UObject.h to Object.h for consistency with the naming convention for all other UObject classes. UObject.h still exists for now, but outputs a deprecated message if included.
Change 3088544 on 2016/08/14 by Ben.Marsh
Core: Move the definition of the TEXT() macro into Platform.h, to avoid having to include OS headers to get it.
Change 3088552 on 2016/08/14 by Ben.Marsh

D3D12RHI: Move around some implementations to fix circular header dependencies which are masked by delayed template instantiation.
Change 3090303 on 2016/08/16 by Ben.Marsh
Engine: Add a template specialization for TPointerIsConvertibleFromTo<AActor, const volatile UObject> to fix dependency on complete AActor definition for static assert in TWeakPointer<AActor>, which only appears if including Level.h without Actor.h. Delayed template instantiation usually masks this issue.
Change 3091861 on 2016/08/17 by Ben.Marsh
Remove circular header dependencies, and fix ambiguous include paths in OSVR.

- OR-15875
Change 2880314 on 2016/02/24 by Daniel.Wright
Fixed uses of FDepthDrawingPolicyFactory being affected by bUseAsOccluder
* This fixes preshadows on HISMC and foliage
Change 2880338 on 2016/02/24 by Martin.Mittring
added SkinCache.Debug cvar
#rb:Lina.Halper
#test:PC
Change 2880344 on 2016/02/24 by Daniel.Wright
Added the ability to apply DFAO to static indirect lighting, controlled by r.AOApplyToStaticIndirect
* Lightmaps, stationary skylight and reflection captures are all affected
* Specular occlusion on reflection captures requires a fair amount of tweaking of r.SkySpecularOcclusionStrength, MinOcclusion and MaxOcclusionDistance for good quality
* For now, a movable skylight with low intensity (.0001) must be placed to control MaxOcclusionDistance and MinOcclusion
Change 2880346 on 2016/02/24 by Daniel.Wright
Added several cvars to expose mesh distance field limits, which allows higher quality
* r.DistanceFields.MaxPerMeshResolution
* r.DistanceFields.DefaultVoxelDensity
* r.DistanceFields.AtlasSizeXY
* r.DistanceFields.AtlasSizeZ
Change 2881304 on 2016/02/25 by Gil.Gribb
UE4 - Increased the priority of cloth tasks because these are on the critical path.
Change 2881306 on 2016/02/25 by Gil.Gribb
UE4 - Added cvar to control background tick list cleanup.
Change 2881790 on 2016/02/25 by Daniel.Wright
Screen size fading is only applied to spot and point lights
Change 2882077 on 2016/02/25 by Daniel.Wright
DFAO indirect occlusion on static lighting is now correctly applied to IndirectIrradiance
Change 2882391 on 2016/02/25 by Martin.Mittring
fixed bad caching of SRV for vertexbuffers in SkinCache (caused rendering artifacts and wasteful memory allocations). Finding a SRV is now O(1), was O(n)

OR-13678
[CL 2890130 by Gil Gribb in Main branch]
Last render time for textures can now be exposed via an FLastRenderTimeContainer provided at construction time. Only implemented for texture references. Eventually this can unify last render time for normal textures and texture references.
[CL 2170350 by Nick Penwarden in Main branch]
* Provides mid-range stable AO for dynamic rigid meshes
* Movable sky lights are now supported, and distance field AO is used for shadowing Movable sky lighting from dynamic scenes
* Static meshes are preprocessed into signed distance field volumes at mesh build time when the r.AllowMeshDistanceFieldRepresentations project setting is enabled
* Non-uniform scaling does not work with this method (mirroring is fine), animating through world position offset also causes artifacts as the two representations diverge
* Occlusion is computed along cones to reduce over-shadowing, object distance fields are operated on directly (no hierarchy) to obtain enough resolution to prevent leaking, visibility traces are done with cone stepping to allow better parallelization, and shading is done adaptively in space and time using the surface cache.
