MAJOR FEATURES & CHANGES
============================
Change 3658809 by Chris.Bunner
Changing default HDR display gamut to P3 as in practice that's more common than Rec2020, this should be a user-facing option where possible though as we can't automatically retrieve that data.

Change 3697488 by Richard.Wallis
Fix for Mac editor session no longer accurately tracking Mouse location after moving between Desktops in Mission Control on 10.12.6. Problem stems from the extra call to update the slate cached window position in mouse move while dragging, which is itself is a hack but apparently this is needed as we don't get window position updates on Mac while dragging (although I couldn't see any -ve side effects without it) then the OS (in 10.12.6) doesn't always push out a final window did move notificaiton when changing desktops which leaves the window according to slate incorrectly positoned to it's frame.
Solution is to either remove the mouse-move-while-drag window position hack or add a final window position update to the mouse-up event while dragging - this change is the latter.
#jira UE-37553
Change 3697501 by Richard.Wallis
Move audio processing over to audio bus tap. Currently on Mac Media audio playback uses OS media player mixer rather than Engine as existing implemtation, using AVAssetReader, now suffers from poor performance with new Media Framework. This audio tap version replaces that asset reader implementation but also suffers from bad quality audio hence is still disabled at the top of AvfMediaTracks.cpp.
Original Code Review Description:
Convert Mac to Play audio through the engine MediaFramework API rather than using AVMediaPlayer. This is the Mac implementation only - this should work ok on iOS but unable to test due to missing audio type implementation (throws error "Init Buffer on unsupported sound type name = Synth type = 5"), as such is only enabled for Mac. There maybe some extra tweaks required for iOS on app backgrounding etc if this feature is enabled.
- Stuttering Audio Performace issue investiagation: Re-Tested this implementation against [now fixed] current Mac implementation which was working fine last year and that implementation now has the same audio output quality (performance) issues as this one. Basic investigation seems to point to somewhere in the engine audio handing. When poor audio is heard the FMediaAudioResampler::Generate() function is dequeing an IMediaAudioSample sample buffer and the audio sample queue usually has 50-100 of these IMediaAudioSample buffers waiting in the queue. I think the AvfMedia playback system is providing the sample buffers in good time but they are not getting consumed "fast" enough. This under consuming also occurs if I force the Core Audio - Audio Unit mixer to use 48000 samples/sec.

Change 3701105 by Guillaume.Abadie
Ignore per view automatic mip bias on texture type other than 2d textures.
#jira UE-51396
Change 3702297 by Richard.Wallis
Mac compile fix for nullable specifier. Looks like Obj class using the C++ class also needs this otherwise it throws. Seems to be some kind of xcode/compiler caching bug with this stuff as it'll report the error once then on subsequent compiles say everything is ok.
#jira UE-51386

Mac nullability compile fix - again. Looks like I fell foul of that xcode compile caching!

DR - Debug label on D3D11 UAVs

Change 3705000 by Chris.Bunner
Skip compiling opacity and opacity mask inputs on opaque surface materials. Previously the code was always added to the shader, sometimes we force opaque materials down a masked path which then calls the dormant code unintentionally. A safer fix for UE-48254.
Partially reverted previous fix in CL 3608303 which removed a material instance optimization caching the overridden base properties.
Change 3706065 by Guillaume.Abadie
Does some renaming for primary screen percentage, and move the primary screen percentage method selection from dynamic resolution driver to FSceneView.
Change 3706464 by Chris.Bunner

Change 3706650 by Gil.Gribb
UE4 - UE4 - Changes from intel. Increase number of worker threads on Windows to if hyperthreads (hyperthreads √ 2) else cores √ 1 up to a max of 22 workers. Increase MAX_THREADS multiplier per bank from 22 to 26. Intel VTune ITT event annotations. Wrapped in same function as your existing CPU events and enabled with √vtune. Optimize NV cloth by consuming FVector instead of FVector4 out of the solver. Vertex buffers were using FVector all along. ~15% improvement. Optimize cloth copy to vertex buffer by adding prefetch (similar to how bones are already done). Move local to world cloth transform from CPU to GPU. When simulating lots of vertices game thread was becoming bottleneck doing matrix multiply. Add your TaskGraph task switch latency test code.

Change 3710454 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Refactor the way we compile Buffer<> & RWBuffer<> types for Metal so that we can support the type-conversion semantics of HLSL/D3D.
- Buffer<> types are converted to Linear Textures unless the internal type is 3-compnent or the STRONG_TYPE macro is added as a type-qualifier. Linear Textures require an MTLTexture "view" object be created around the MTLBuffer which is the backing-store and it is typically best if that buffer is marked as Private (GPU-only) memory, reading from this in the shader then uses the texture-fetch hardware to perform the format conversion on load.
- RWBuffer<> & 3-compnent Buffer<> types are converted to use template functions to load/store - the implementation of which will read the format from the BufferSizes meta-table and determine which type-conversion to apply. Function-constants are used to specialise the shader where feasible to reduce branch costs (function-constants are a Metal feature that allow efficient runtime recompilation of bytecode shaders).
- Buffer<> & RWBuffer<> types where the STRONG_TYPE macro is added as a type-qualifier (only does something on Metal, everywhere else it is #define'd away) are compiled as "raw" Metal buffers of the inner-type (e.g. float4 for Buffer<float4>) and the MetalRHI runtime will enforce that only SRVs/UAVs of the proper format are bound to it. This is necessary in a couple of cases (BoneMatrices, NumCulledLightsGrid, CulledLightDataGrid & ForwardLocalLightBuffer buffers) which are used in a larger number of shaders as Linear Textures have poorer performance than Buffer<>/RWBuffer<>.
- Most of the complications to generating subtly different Metal code for different OS/device combinations have been factored out into ue4_stdlib.metal which acts as an extension to the Metal shader standard-library and helps simplify the MetalBackend code - particularly helpful for Buffer<>/RWBuffer<> but also texturecube_array and the SM6 wave-related intrinsics.
- Reverted some of the awkward Metal-specific changes Richard.Wallis & Arne had to make to the high-level shaders as they aren't necessary anymore.
- Made the existing Metal-specific changes to use uint32 for all light-grid injection buffers apply to all Metal platforms again (I had hoped that it would not be necessary anymore, but it is much faster this way).
- STRONG_TYPE is actually hlslcc's "invariant" keyword applied as a type-qualifier to a Buffer<>/RWBuffer<> type - only valid when using Metal which exports this through ILanguageSpec and #define'd out for everyone else.
- Old versions of iOS (anything earlier than iOS 10.3) won't be able to use this new code, so every buffer will be treated as "raw" and the MetalRHI will now properly report when something goes awry rather than it leading to mysterious rendering errors and crashes.
Change 3710456 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Fix the Eddie workset project generator so that Enterprise projects don't get mixed in with regular projects at the top-level because of the way Eddie combines workset groups.
Change 3710457 by Mark.Satterthwaite

MSVC type-mismatch error fixes.
Change 3710580 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Alright then - if I can't use the C++11 extended string semantics I'll have to use "xxd -i" to generate a hex-dump include header from ue4_stdlib.metal instead. This can only be updated from a machine with access to the POSIX xxd command (Mac & Linux, possibly the new Linux sub-system for Win10).
Change 3710616 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Missing file.
Change 3712972 by Guillaume.Abadie
Fixes Circle DOF's negative alpha channel getting clamped to 0 in TAA pass.
Change 3712979 by Guillaume.Abadie
Fixes wrong RT reallocation when doing TAA upsample in editor viewports with secondary upscale.
Change 3713406 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Use GPU morph targets on Mac - the necessary buffer conversions will always be available there. For iOS it can only be supported if iOS 10 is the minimum OS & Metal standard so leave that on the CPU path for now.
Change 3713494 by Richard.Wallis
Fix for hitch when PIE unloading sublevel. PerformReachabilityAnalysisOnObjects is spawing multiple threads in Editor builds as there is an extra code path that results in Critical Section locking within a singleton type static object - this is a bottle neck for multiple threads. However they all just need to read the data not change it. Replaced FScopeLock with a Read/Write version allowing these threads to all take a read lock at the same time to reduce contention.
Changed the FUObjectAnnotationDense implementation only - left the sparse implementation alone as its not currently affecting this - although we could proactivly change that too.
Also tested again repro in linked bug UE-24711.

Integrate LPV_STORE_INDEX_IN_HEAD_BUFFER related changes from //depot/Partners/Microsoft/UE4-MS/Engine-Fable @ 2954744
This should make Light Propagation Volumes potentially viable on non-Microsoft platforms.
Change 3713623 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Implement ByteAddressBuffer/RWByteAddressBuffer in hlslcc in a similar manner to StructuredBuffer/RWStructuredBuffer so that the backends don't need too much modification. Implement the necessary changes into MetalBackend to make this work for Metal.
Load/Store{+2,3,4} & Atomics are supported. Counter operations are not supported and aren't likely to be.
Change 3713636 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Enable LPVs for Mac Metal.
- Rework some multi-dimensional arrays & array-index dependent HLSL code that hlslcc simply can't cope with, the mesa-glsl compiler core is only capable of dealing with 1 dimensional arrays and array-indexing can't itself be directly dependent on the result of an array-index operation.
- MetalRHI needs to ignore any SetRenderTargets call that binds nothing at all as you must bind at least one target (UAV, RT, Depth/Stencil) for it to be able to do anything sensible.
- Turn on LPVs for Metal as it works now.
Change 3714049 by Guillaume.Abadie
Do not set screen percentage method to TAA upsample when anti aliasing method is not TAA even if there is automatic fallback in the renderer.

Rewrites editor primitive compositing to support TAA upsample.
This takes the oportunity to remove the manual depth testing in base pass pixel shader of editor primitives.
Change 3716271 by Daniel.Wright
Lightmass correctness fixes
* After these changes, point, spot, directional and sky lights closely match reference renderer Mitsuba after light unit conversions
* Photon density trimming intended for direct photons was affecting indirect photons as well. This caused high noise for point / spot lights with a large attenuation radius. Indirect photon density even for small lights is 5x with this change, which improves 2nd bounce quality.
* Removed legacy fudge factor on point / spot light photon energy
* Spotlights no longer emit based on indirect photon paths. Fixes excessive photon energy from spot lights as they were emitting outside of the cone.
* Fixed photons computing one more bounce than requested.
* Added an option to use the Radiosity solver for all multibounce, replacing photons. Useful as a reference but generally too much noise indoors.
* Fixed visualization of photons without final gather
Change 3716434 by Mark.Satterthwaite

Also implemanted batching of the dispatches which should help worst case perfomance where dispatches become too small.
CalculateInverseAccumulatedWeights is not cheap and proably should be moved onto a task thread that runs as soon as the input weights are ready.

Console-variable to enable and disable Manual-Vertex-Fetch for Metal and fix the internal code to handle the subtle changes in behaviour for vertex-declarations so we don't explode under the Metal validation layer. MVF works on macOS, though testing did expose an error with Tessellation on Nvidia (true for MVF enabled & disabled).

Change 3720413 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Support standalone compute shaders in the mtlpp compiler test app.
Change 3721232 by Mark.Satterthwaite
No more Metal Shader Model 4 - instead we have to have a Metal Shader Model 5 w/o Tessellation as Nvidia's shader compiler is broken on all tessellation shaders in 10.13.0 and above. There is no guarantee that they will fix this prior to 10.14 and I can't afford to disable tessellation entirely as if I do that then the AMD & Intel compilers will also regress. As there is no Shader Model 4 platform on Mac anymore I've amended the LevelEditorActions to disable the preview modes when no appropriate shader platform is available.

Disable the METAL_SM5_NOTESS shader platform again - I can workaround the Nvidia pipeline state compiler crash by changing the buffer address space from "constant" to "device" as we're managing to confuse the poor thing. This won't materially affect AMD or Intel as they don't care much about this, but to limit performance issues on Nvidia we only need to do this for Tessellation Compute shaders.

Render thread dynamic resolution & TAA upsample.
Merging //Tasks/UE4/Dev-DynamicRes/...@3694528 to //UE4/Dev-Rendering/...
New features breakdown:
- TAA upsample compute shader that accepts screen percentage from 50% to 200%, with a faster shader permutation for consoles;
- Material no longer have to deal with BufferUV, and post process material after TAA upsample can sample any scene buffer seamlessly;
- Material texture per view mip bias to produce sharper images with TAA upsample;
- Render thread dynamic resolution heuristic is fully plugable by game code (for VR plugin specific heuristics);
- Dynamic resolution in PIE and game builds;
- Busy time queries in the RHI to be implemented on the different platforms so that the dynamic resolution heuristic can exactly associate GPU frame times with screen percentages in its history;
- Game user settings to enable/disable dynamic resolution;
- In editor viewport screen percentage config to previsualise and test content at different screen percentage.
Fixes:
- Various fixes for algorithms producing different outputs at different screen percentage.
- Various fixes for algorithms sampling outside view rects.
Refactors:
- TAA shader
- Moved some screen percentage specific members from FSceneView to FViewInfo for thread race bullet proofing.
Aknowledgements:
- VR plugins are broken
- DFAO still have some artifacts

Updated items from original shelved version by Mark Satt:
- Added MetalBackend.cpp to change main function string to have an initial crc + code length zero's
**Description below taken from Mark Satt's original verison of this in CL3343280**
Updated for Dev-Rendering's PSOs & integrates Richard's work on RHI shader libraries.
Replace the FShaderCache's cook-time binary shader cache with Dmitriy Dyomin's standalone FShaderCodeLibrary that saves all shader byte-code arrays to files named by the FSHAHash. This de-duplicates shaders so we only ever store the byte code once. Includes optional support for generating a platform specific library file - which Metal implements to provide a single Metal library. The platform-native implementation can perform more de-duplication and in the case of Metal has lower file overheads and will compress more efficiently.
- All of the support code for the FShaderCache's cook caching is gone, which affects all platforms. The FShaderCodeLibrary is currently supported by Cook-By-The-Book but can be used with iterate or child cookers - only DLC cooking requires further work.
- With further modifications it should be possible to support Cook-on-the-Fly as well (output directories would be needed in FShaderCodeLibrary::InitForCooking) and the file-access pattern should be changed to use async. IO so that Material loading is not considered complete until all required byte-code arrays are loaded into the FShaderCodeLibrary.
- For Metal archiving shaders this way will compile with debug information and the FShaderCodeLibrary, with some help from extensions to IShaderFormat, will save the debug information out into separate files during cooking - these can then be used to debug the game without having to locally recompile, recook & repackage but the shipped byte-code is stripped. Global shader caches are also subject to de-duplication in the library in order to support Metal's shader stripping.
- File Move operations need to respect the 'Replace' flag - for FShaderCodeLibrary to work we need Move to be atomic.
- This bumps the object version and will cause all content to recook.
- Native library support is optional - only Metal currently implements one, but so could Vulkan and D3D12. For Metal the big advantages are further de-duplication where different materials generate the same MetalSL text but a different FSHAHash, that the single Metal library has lower overhead and that as a single file it all compresses far better (esp. with LZMA - 5x smaller).
Change 3367854 on 2017/03/28 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Don't track or record draw call resources for non-OpenGL shader platforms in the shader-cache as it is unnecessary and makes it slower on the CPU than it needs to be.

Change 3372436 on 2017/03/30 by Uriel.Doyon
Added flags in UPrimitiveComponent to keep track of its state in the streaming manager.
This allows to avoid unnecessary callback and processing in begin destroy reattach and being destroy logic.
Removed the limitation of only processing UMeshComponent when handling spawed primitive.
This releases the level manager from having to manage dynamic primitives.
This improves performance by not having to manage dynamic references in the level manager.
Primitives managed as dynamic now have a callback when ever their proxy is udpated, handling
many cases automatically where previously a manual callback to notify would have been required.
Fixed an issue where primitives with no reference to streaming textures would loose they dynamic state
because of lack of references in the streamer.

FShaderCache Parallel-Context-Aware Merged with FShaderCache Single Library.
Future Work
- This was done before Engine PSO were in so this now needs a refector in the recording and playback on pipeline states instead an emulate PSO in OpenGL Driver.
- Remove FShaderCacheState and replace the logic with FGraphicsPipelineStateInitializer which should be able to record from the RHI current pipeline state
- This would reduce the Locking required as it's naturally per thread/context and only the final record would need a lock

Since it is a higher come first policy, this CL set the default of this value to 1 in USceneCaptureComponent2D's constructor.

MAJOR FEATURES + CHANGES
==========================
Change 3209340 on 2016/11/23 by Ben.Marsh
Convert UE4 codebase to an "include what you use" model - where every header just includes the dependencies it needs, rather than every source file including large monolithic headers like Engine.h and UnrealEd.h.
Measured full rebuild times around 2x faster using XGE on Windows, and improvements of 25% or more for incremental builds and full rebuilds on most other platforms.
* Every header now includes everything it needs to compile.
* There's a CoreMinimal.h header that gets you a set of ubiquitous types from Core (eg. FString, FName, TArray, FVector, etc...). Most headers now include this first.
* There's a CoreTypes.h header that sets up primitive UE4 types and build macros (int32, PLATFORM_WIN64, etc...). All headers in Core include this first, as does CoreMinimal.h.
* Every .cpp file includes its matching .h file first.
* This helps validate that each header is including everything it needs to compile.
* No engine code includes a monolithic header such as Engine.h or UnrealEd.h any more.
* You will get a warning if you try to include one of these from the engine. They still exist for compatibility with game projects and do not produce warnings when included there.
* There have only been minor changes to our internal games down to accommodate these changes. The intent is for this to be as seamless as possible.
* No engine code explicitly includes a precompiled header any more.
* We still use PCHs, but they're force-included on the compiler command line by UnrealBuildTool instead. This lets us tune what they contain without breaking any existing include dependencies.
* PCHs are generated by a tool to get a statistical amount of coverage for the source files using it, and I've seeded the new shared PCHs to contain any header included by > 15% of source files.
Tool used to generate this transform is at Engine\Source\Programs\IncludeTool.
