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)

UE-7184 - Show game c++ classes and engine c++ classes in the content browser
The Content Browser now has extra entries for "Game C++ Classes" and "Engine C++ Classes" (with "Game" and "Engine" being renamed to "Game Content" and "Engine Content" respectively). These new folders serve as hosts for the list of available C++ modules, with each module internally mirroring the folder structure on disk.
For example:
- Game C++ Classes
- ShooterGame
- Classes
- Bots
- ShooterBot
- ShooterAIController
- [...]
- [...]
The Content Browser allows you to navigate and search these classes like you can with assets, and provides convenient access to either edit an existing class, or create a new class (either within a selected folder, or derived from a selected class).
As the Content Browser only shows you known UClass types, any new classes need to be compiled into a loaded module before they will appear. This means that adding a new class will now automatically hot-reload your target module. Should you prefer to handle building and loading your modules manually, you can disable the automatic hot-reload via "Editor Settings" -> "Miscellaneous" -> "Hot Reload" -> "Automatically Hot Reload New Classes" (see UEditorUserSettings::bAutomaticallyHotReloadNewClasses).

#jira UE-1240 - Can have more than one instance active of the open level asset picker
#reviewedby Matt.Kuhlenschmidt
[CL 2364646 by Richard TalbotWatkin 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.

Includes the following engine-level changes (among others; biggest change is enabling world assets by default):
CL 2252857
added dynamic allocations for path finding, removed hardcoded limit of 128 polys in path corridor
CL 2256142
Added support for native arrays in JSON object converter.
- Permissive in treating arrays of size 1 and scalars as equivalent
- Excess elements in JSON are ignored. Serialization succeeds but a warning is logged
CL 2256073
Fixed a bug in ARecastNavMesh::BatchRaycast resulting in NaN hit locations
CL 2253797
#UE4 More aggressively setting RF_Public and RF_Standalone flags on maps and ensuring world names match package names. This is necessary because umaps are currently being managed outside of the content browser and it is causing a few issues. Also, packages containing maps now synthesize asset data when the package contains absolutely no asset data (probably because the UWorld in it was not RF_Public at the time it was saved due to a previous bug).
CL 2258142
#UE4 Added a GC during map load that reclaims memory allocated during load/init. This is needed to finish the load on low-memory devices in games that allocate more memory after load.
CL 2247003
Added homing to ProjectileMovementComponent
- Homing requires both a bool and a target component to be set, the strength is determined by a customizable variable
- Both homing and gravity are now applied in the new virtual function "CalculateAcceleration"
CL 2247249
Moved the homing modification to acceleration occur in a separate function specifically for homing
CL 2257043
- Guard net dormancy calls against executing on clients, based on thread with DaveR and JohnP; This particular case was the result of an intentionally client-authoritative actor calling the dormancy functions via inheritance
CL 2245629
#UE4 - fixed json TryGetNumber to round negatives appropriately
CL 2255312
#UE4 Enabling World Assets by default.
CL 2260956
Analytics ET now loads HTTP at StartupModule so the module will be available during ShutdownModule to flush events
CL 2245571
GenericTeamAgentInterface can now retrieve attitude of an agent towards a given actor #UE4
- Made PerceptionSystem's sight sense take advantage of that
CL 2246897
Fixed perception listeners not being removed from the PerceptionSystem on Owner's end play #UE4
- addresses TTP#343392
CL 2260634
added more debug data for NaN in crowd simulation
CL 2248387
Added possibility to debug multiple EQS queries with GameplayDebugger. #ue4
Fixed network replication from bandwidth point of view for data in GameplayDebugger. #ue4
CL 2253281
Added additional information to the visual logger for UBTCompositeNode::DoDecoratorsAllowExecution
- We now keep track of whether a decorator allows execution, in addition to the existing log for not allowing execution
CL 2255310
#UE4 The world browser module now listens to WorldAdded/WorldDestroyed events instead of WorldInit/WorldCleanup events. Worlds can be initialized without being the editor world and this handles that case.
CL 2258256
#UE4 Replacing the SOpenLevelDialog with a new generic SAssetDialog. This dialog will be used as a generic Open or Save As dialog for assets.
[CL 2266822 by Billy Bramer in Main branch]
NOTE: Old tutorials not deprecated (yet), but widget highlights in old tutorials will stop working with this change!
Added new Blueprintable UEditorTutorial object.
Added suite of widgets and details customizations to display tutorials.
New system is available on command line switch -NewTutorials.
Slate changes:
Tag names are now stored in SWidgets, rather than simply being discarded.
Removed STutorialWrapper in favour of using Tags.
Added Tags to more multibox widgets, so virtually all can now be picked.
Added SWindow::HasOverlay so we dont attempt to add overlays to widows that cannot have them.
[CL 2244216 by Thomas Sarkanen in Main branch]
#UE4 Moved asset thumbnail dirtying code out of ContentBrowserSingleton and into AssetThumbnail.cpp. Updating thumbnails is not the responsibility of the Content Browser since many systems use thumbnails now.
