Requires Visual Studio 2019 15.8 Preview 3, and targets to specify bEnableCppModules = true. Unsupported on other compilers.
Notes:
- Module interfaces need to be placed in .IXX files.
- Module/module dependencies are determined by a post-makefile/pre-build scan of all module interfaces using the compiler, and cause additional prerequisites to be inserted into the dependency graph before execution.
- Available module IFC search paths use normal UE module dependency rules.
- Header units are not currently supported.
- Regular C++ files cannot currently implement functions defined in module interfaces, due to the macros force included by UBT. These macros need to be placed in the global module fragment, but declaring a global module fragment must be done from the translation unit being compiled (making force-included headers invalid).

Mostly a find/replace, though I have looked through the changes and attempted to update references to other things as necessary (eg. renaming IOS plist files for IOS). I'm not set up to test on any platforms other than windows, and was hoping to get your blessing to submit and give QA enough time as possible to uncover issues before the next milestone release.
Particular things that I know I'm not sure about:
- Android references /UE4Game/ paths everywhere (for paths on device, I think). I have no idea if I've got them all.
- I've renamed the iOS mobileprovisions, but I don't know if they need regenerating for the new app name.
- Likewise, not sure what needs to be updated for icon bundles on iOS.
Things that have not been changed:
- Windows still uses IDI_UE4ICON for its icon
- UE4CommandLine.txt
- There's still a UE4Game module which is used by content-only projects

to //UE5/Main/Engine/Source/Programs/UHTLite/...
UHTLite is a long-term refactor of UHT for performance and maintainability.

- Removed the function to return a single TP, and wrapped the functionality in a simple single required function (platform just has to add TPs to an array, high level code manages init and cleanup of the array)
- Stripped unncessary code from all TPs
- Collapsed the desktop targetplatform modules into 1 per platform
- Renamed LinuxAArch64NoEditorTargetPlatfortm to LinuxAArch64TargetPlatform to match the other non-editor platforms
- Deleted AllDesktopPlatform
