- Added cast flag support to a handful of the most commonly used classes in the engine, determined by tracking all calls to IsA() over typical workflows.
- Result: reduced IsA() function calls from 21k to 1k instances per frame in a large test scene (1.0ms to 0.06ms per frame).

- Especially in modular builds, remote linking speeds up build times very significantly
- Also enabled remote resource compilation, which also makes modular builds faster when XGE is installed

- This change improves the quality of IntelliSense and error list results in Visual Studio and Xcode
- This fixes definitions from Program targets from being set on the UE4 project that caused undesirable IntelliSense results
- For example, we never want WITH_EDITORONLY_DATA=1 or IS_PROGRAM=1 to be set for engine modules

Added ability to adaptively change display units to a more appropriate range on numerical property editors. This behaviour can be disabled with a AllowUnitRangeAdaption=False meta tag.
Spin boxes now accept a numeric type interface which allows customization of numeric handling.

- We need to allow for binariy names to be overriden as opposed to appname.
- - Appname was being used as a part of the binaryname, which was fine for development but not other configs. AppName_xp-Win32-Shipping, and we needed it to be AppName-Win32-Shipping_xp.
Added the capacity to specify that XP is supported in an ini.

- This changes improves the usefulness of IntelliSense on Visual Studio or Xcode code completion
- IntelliSense compiler definitions and include paths are now configured for editor targets which are inclusive of much more code
- For example, all code that was wrapped with WITH_EDITORONLY_DATA is now visible to the IntelliSense compiler

Properly set build as default if the project is code and user has compiler when using Quick Launch in UFE (similar to editor's Launch On)

- Disclaimer: This is all experimental forward-looking stuff, we don't recommend using this yet!
- Added native support for Clang command-line on Windows ('clang-cl' is not required, but still supported)
- Clang debug symbols are now Visual Studio compatible (use latest Clang 3.6.0 prelease build.)
- Clang linker (LLD.exe) now works with most UE4 binaries, but debug symbols won't work
- New 'WindowsPlatform.bUseVCCompilerArgs' that controls whether to the VC-style wrapper with Clang
- Implemented precompiled header support (requires native Clang binary.) There are still a few bugs in Clang with struct packing which prevent us from using PCHs on Windows though.
- Editor still can't compile under Clang because of some DX header file issues, possibly system include related.
- Unreal Build Tool: Reduced default performance spew when using the local executor (non-XGE builds.)
