- The MacToolChain will emit dSYMs and strip executables when the UBT configuration enables bGeneratedSYMFile, just like iOS.
- Symbol stripping requires generating dSYMs to prevent creation of non-debuggable builds whose crash reports would be unresolvable.
- To avoid a dependency on the Private framework CoreSymbolication all symbols from that framework are loaded dynamically & can only be used within programs, not the game or the editor, as CoreSymbolication is incompatible with non-ANSI malloc implementations.
- Added an initial platform-agnostic API for querying debug symbol info, including a generic database format that can be queried on otherwise incompatible platforms.
- Added UnrealAtoS that emulates Apple's atos to resolve symbols using the generic database or the platform API (CoreSymbolication on OS X) which on OS X is used by the editor to gather symbol info for CodeView.
- Added DSymExporter which will export Apple debug symbol data from Mach-O binaries, including the payload within a .dSYM bundle, to the generic format so that the crash report server may one day read the data without needing a Mac to symbolicate reports.
- Initial SymbolDebugger & MinidumpDiagnostics support on OS X.

[CL 2466299 by Mark Satterthwaite in Main branch]
The main changes are as follows:
1. moved Json out of Core into own module 'Json'
2. moved 3 i10n classes (Json serializers) from Core into a new module 'Internationalization' *
3. fixed up 2 i10n classes in Core to not instantiate the 3 Json-based classes. instead they are now passed in as a dependency
*) (2) and (3) were required to decouple the I10n code in Core from Json. Much of the i10n code probably doesn't belong into Core in the first place, but there is no time to fix this right now.
The following cosmetic changes were also made:
- NULL to nullptr
- namespaced enums to enum classes
- renamed the three i10n Json serializer classes to comply with naming conventions
- removed file header comments (not used)
- documentation, spelling, spacing etc,
#UpgradeNotes: If your module is including Json.h then you have to add 'Json' to your Build.cs module dependencies.

#branch UE4
#project UE4EditorServices
#summary Give the UE4EditorServices the option to choose which editor executable to use to launch with or generate Xcode projects for.
#change Add a simple window, with pop-up menu for selecting which version of the editor to use for launching/building.
#change When handling services, if there are multiple editors installed then ask the user which to use, the dialog can be suppressed and can be forcibly shown (hold Alt when activating the service).
