MAJOR FEATURES + CHANGES
==========================
Change 2756103 on 2015/11/05 by Jamie.Dale
Implemented UFont::GetResourceSize to work correctly with the Size Map tool
Change 2756104 on 2015/11/05 by Jamie.Dale
Changed the font used when a font is missing or invalid to be the last resort font, rather than the localized fallback font
The localized fallback font could cause different results based on your culture, and the last resort font makes it clearer that something is set-up incorrectly as it just draws invalid glyph markers for all of the text.
Change 2756105 on 2015/11/05 by Jamie.Dale
Fixed a crash when using an empty FKey property with a Data Table
FKeyStructCustomization was asserting because there were no objects being edited, due to a newly added Data Table containing zero rows.
I've removed this assert, and also updated SKeySelector to no longer require a separate argument to say whether multiple keys with different values are selected (this is now calculated from the call to get the current key, which will return an empty TOptional for multiple values).

Change 2757156 on 2015/11/06 by Joe.Tidmarsh
Implemented "Go to Variable" functionality for widgets in Widget Blueprint Editor.
When we switch modes in UMG from Designer to Graph. We select the variable (In "My Blueprint"), if one exists, for the currently selected widget. Additionally we update the details panel.
* Added SelectGraphActionItemByName to FBlueprintEditor. This selects an item in My Blueprint and also displays it in the details panel of graph mode. SMyBlueprint is not available to FWidgetBlueprintEditor in UMGEditor module as it's privately implemented within Kismet.

Change 2757181 on 2015/11/06 by Jamie.Dale
Cleaned up some duplication in UMG text widgets, and exposed the text shaping options
The common properties used by all text widgets that are text layout based have been moved into a UTextLayoutWidget base class, and all text layout based widgets now derive from this.
The options needed to control the text shaping method used by a text based widget have been exposed via the FShapedTextOptions struct. This contains a way to manage these optional (and advanced) overrides. You typically wouldn't change these from the default unless you knew exactly what you were doing (eg, you have a text block containing only numbers).
This change also updates SRichTextBlock to work with an invalidation panel in the same way that STextBlock does

#UE4 #Editor
- Added support for meta=(TitleProperty="StructPropertyNameHere") on properties of type TArray<FSomeStruct>.
- This changes the editor rolled-up display of these values from "{0} members" to a stringified version of the specified property (if found).

Change 2758791 on 2015/11/09 by Joe.Tidmarsh
Shadow of FCanvasTextItem should be drawn before the outline color. Consulted with Bruce.N who believes this is not the intended behavior and was an oversight when refactoring FCanvas (CL 1695138)

Slate - Improving the way we track references to materials in slate to better keep things alive until they're no longer needed for rendering. Additionally, making it so the we use the material and texture free list when possible when cleaning up things as to not allocate new memory if not required. Concidentually this can help with problems with corrupted memory on destruct as well, because it means the memory isn't really going to become garbage any more.

Change 2760954 on 2015/11/10 by Nick.Darnell
Slate - A bug in the introduction of custom rendered elements accidentally broke filling out the texture coordinates for standard material usage. Materials should once again tile correctly just like images do.
#jira UE-23118
Change 2761129 on 2015/11/10 by Nick.Darnell
Slate - Removing the Pre-Multiply alpha path the way it was added, introducing it in a way that doesn't require changes inside the shader. Continuing to improve the SRetainerWidget to no longer have a frame delay between resizes and painting, also working on getting it handle clipping correctly but still not there yet.

Change 2762407 on 2015/11/11 by Jamie.Dale
UDataTable::SaveStructData now writes out dummy data when RowStruct is null
This didn't used to happen, which would cause a miss-match between what UDataTable::LoadStructData was expecting, and would result in a Data Table that could never be loaded again.
This change also improves the error message when editing a Data Table with a null row struct, and adds the editor-only RowStructName property to cache the name of the last used struct (for error reporting).
#jira UE-22789
Change 2762508 on 2015/11/11 by Nick.Darnell
UMG - Making it more obvious what keys do special stuff with anchors in UMG. Fixing the way snapping to anchors works with Control, it now only zeros out the side you're dragging instead of the entire widget, which was silly. Enhancing the designer message system to no longer be based on an enum and instead let arbitrary systems push and pop FText messages. Fixing animations in the anchor drop down to properly animate, broke when we introduced active timers.
Change 2763241 on 2015/11/11 by Nick.Darnell
Slate - We no longer allow popup windows to be larger than the primary display window for windows where max width/height is unspecified. This is to prevent accidential creation of tooltip windows that are larger than the driver allows causing crashes.
#jira UE-20336
Rename HasValidProperty to HasValidPropertyNode to make the behavior match the name, and clean up some comments
Fix several details customizations that weren't correctly checking for property validity before derefencing GetProperty() or AccessRawData(). This fixes the original slate crash as well

Integrated using branch Ue4-To-UE4-Fortnite-Simple (reversed) of change#2653955 by Ben.Zeigler on 2015/08/12 21:23:30.
[CL 2653956 by Ben Zeigler in Main branch]
Newly installed versions of the engine will now attempt to copy the project-agnostic config settings from a previous engine installation. This happens by way of a versioned manifest that copies old versions when the manifest does not exist, or is a different version. This code path is benign for non-installed versions of the engine (or FPaths::ShouldSaveToUserDir() is false).
EditorGameAgnosticSettings and EditorUserSettings ini paths have been renamed to EditorSettings and EditorPerProjectUserSettings respectively to better convey their purpose. In general, most settings should be saved in EditorSettings (project-agnostic) so that they apply regardless of which project is open. We have some way to go migrating existing settings for this to be the case, however.
Some previously per-project configuration files are now project-agnostic (such as Editor.ini, EditorKeyBindings.ini, and EditorLayout.ini)
GEditor->Access...Settings and GEditor->Get...Settings have been removed in favor of direct access of the CDO through GetMutableDefault<> and GetDefault<> respectively. Global config ini filenames that are not set up are now neither loaded nor saved on build machines, to handle the problem of indeterminate state more generically.
This addresses UETOOL-270 (Most editor preferences should be project-agnostic)
[CL 2517558 by Andrew Rodham in Main branch]
The display name, filter string, and tooltips for the property editor (and associated detail customizations) are now stored as FText rather than FString. This allows us to remove SLATE_TEXT_ARGUMENT from the detail customization widgets.
[CL 2372595 by Jamie Dale in Main branch]
* Moved Slate.h into SlateBasics.h and began shifting less commonly used headers into SlateExtras.h.
* Slate.h now simply includes SlateBasics.h and SlateExtras.h.
* Slate.h includes a deprecated warning now to indicate that SlateBasics.h + specific includes should be used instead.
* Moved dozens of inlined functions using Slate widgets into .cpp files to avoid header dependencies.
* All code samples now include SlateBasics.h and SlateExtras.h so future shifts will not break most those projects, but not trigger the deprecation warning of including Slate.h.

[CL 2329610 by Wes Hunt in Main branch]
The AppFramework module is intended to be used for compound widgets and UI related classes that are too specific (not basic enough) for Slate, but also not Editor specific (reusable in non-Editor applications and games). The test suite has been moved in its entirety for now, but core widget specific test classes will eventually be split off and moved back into Slate, so that they can live alongside of their corresponding widgets.
Other changes:
- moved to "include what you use" scheme for SColorPicker
- broke out color picker related widgets that may be reusable
- added forward declarations to reduce header include dependencies

We now scan for an AllowPreserveRatio metadata flag on properties, if it exists we show the preserve ratio button just like we do for scale. Currently this is only enabled for the LightFunctionScale property on light components.
