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).

SSProgressBar marquee tint. Accounts for widget color and opacity.

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.

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
[UE-14234] UMG widgets with overriding appearance properties always clobber the Style
#change Deprecated appearance properties on UWidgets that override the Style
#change Incremented the engine object version number and fixed up deprecated properties in OnLoad
#change Added sync'ing of Style properties in the UMG editor where missing. UMG wysiwyg needs to update in response to styling changes. Required adding of some SetStyle code to SWidgets here and there.

[CL 2588458 by Chris Wood in Main branch]
Slate now has the concept of composite fonts and font families (via FCompositeFont and FTypeface). A composite font is a font that contains a default font family, as well as any number of sub-font families which should be used for a given set of character ranges. This change will greatly improve the localization support for fonts.
UFont assets can now use two forms of caching "offline" (which is the way they have always worked historically), and "runtime" (which utilizes the Slate font cache to cache glyphs on demand). These runtime cached UFont assets are now the only way to specify which font to use for a UMG widget, and address the previous issues about ensuring that the required font files were staged for your game.
The Slate font cache now works on FFontData instances, rather than filenames. This allows the UFont asset to embed a blob of TTF or OTF font data inside it, rather than require the fonts be loaded from files on disk.
The Canvas text renderer has been updated to support runtime cached UFont assets. This gives our legacy Canvas based tools the same improved font localization support as the rest of the Slate-based editor UI.
UFont asset creation has been changed to use runtime caching by default, and additionally, you can now import a TTF or OTF file via the Content Browser and it will automatically create a UFont asset. If you still want an offline cached UFont asset, you can just change the cache type in the font editor, and the usual font picker dialog will appear and allow you to generate a font texture atlas.
