- Window menu is now sectioned and labeled based on the current editor. There's now a local workspace root member in FTabManager and a workspace category in FAssetEditorToolkit (both are FWorkspaceItem objects). Individual editors attach their local category to the tab manager's local root. Workflow app modes have their own category members that are swapped out when the mode changes.
- Finally, the AssetEditorCategory of FWorkspaceMenuStructure has been removed entirely.
- Replaced the AddMenuSeparator() call in FTabManager::PopulateSpawnerMenu_Helper() with a section of the same title as the workspace category.
- Tab spawner menu entries for the local editor now properly show the icon of the associated tab. To accomplish this it was necessary to change FWorkflowTabFactory::TabIcon to be an FSlateIcon instead of an FSlateBrush*. All factory instances have been updated accordingly.
- Added & updated lots of icons! (those missing will be TTP'd)
- The nomad tab spawner section (named "General" in the menu) has been largely compressed into the Developer Tools submenu, which has also been organized into sections for readability.
- Unreal frontend options were also moved into a context menu within the General section
- Moved all experimental tools to their own section of the Window menu. When they're no longer experimental they should register as nomads in the appropriate category
- Undo history now under Edit menu

Enabling this setting will allow marquee box selections in perspective viewports to select actors even if they are fully occluded by other actors.
This addresses TTP#333837 - Editor: Need an option for perspective view marquee select to allow selection of occluded actors.

Added new GetToolkitContextFName() function to IToolKit, most implementations of which return GetToolkitFName().
Tutorials button now exposes a different context depending on the type of Blueprint being edited. Updated BP-editor derived classes so that 'downstream' editors (e.g. Persona) are not affected.
Also edited padding & icon for tutorials.

Icon is only visible if content is available for the editor in question.
Split editor settings into two groups - one is persistent settings and one is progress/state.
Tutorials record their dismissed state, so users can permenantly disable the 'nag' for a particular tutorial.
Tutorial content now solidifies when the mouse is hovered over it, so it can be made easier to read.
Fixed crash on startup if an intro tutorial was displaying rich text.
Also fixed crash for TTP# 345094, where a zero-length tutorial was being accessed.

- On Mac OS X we hide the per-window menu bar.
- MultiBlocks have a type so that the Mac-specific menu creation code can generate the proper native widget.
- The menu builder can now be asked for the constructed MultiBox so that on menu creation it can be set on the TabManager.
- That allows the TabManager to be told to update the current global menu bar when the tab or window focus changes.
- A window activation delegate has been added to SWindow to permit this.
- Widgets that used to live in the LevelEditor menu bar have been hoisted into the window titlebar on OS X as on that platform there's no menu bar anymore.
- There's limited support for parsing custom widgets in the menu MultiBlock in order to support the platform list in the File->Package... sub-menu, this is sufficient for now but is quite fragile.
- We can support custom Slate widgets inside native Mac menus should we ever need to - but it is tricky.

Breaking changes include:
* Rename of GEditorModeTools -> GLevelEditorModeTools to signify that it applies only to the level editor modes
* Addition of FEditorModeRegistry, responsible for managing and creating new editor modes. Modes are no longer registered with an instance of the mode, instead with a mode factory that is able to create a new mode of that type.
* Editor modes now operate on FEditorViewportClients rather than FLevelEditorViewportClients
* Added ability to specify an FEditorModeTools when creating an FEditorViewport
Moved component vizualiser manager handling outside of individual editor modes, and into FLevelEditorViewportClient. This should make it easier to transplant in future.

TTP# 337136 - SETTINGS: Target Platform settings polish
TTP# 337652 - EDITOR: Limit Project supported Android icons down to 1
TTP# 337650 - EDITOR: There is only 1 icon for Apple for Project Supported Platforms
DesktopPlatform now contains a static array of FPlatformInfo. This can be used to query UE4 about its available platforms, even when they're not available as a target platform.
FPlatformInfo contains the information required by the editor (such as a localized display name and icon), as well as whether a platform is a variation ("flavor") of another, and if so, whether the flavor affects the build output (eg, Win32 or Win64), or the cook output (eg, Android_XYZ). This lets the editor build up nested menus for the "Package Project" and "Cook Project" options, rather than just showing everything as a flat list.

TTP# 332489 - TOOLS FEATURE: Editor: Allow user to designate which platforms a project is designed for; warn user when deploying to platforms that will result in a bad time
There is now a "Target Platforms" tab in the project settings which allows you to choose which platforms your project will target. This information is stored inside the .uproject file.
If you try and launch, cook, or package for a project that isn't on the supported list, then you'll see a suppressible warning notifying you that the project may not run as expected. This is also conveyed to you via a warning icon next to platforms which aren't set as a target.
Additionally the target platform icons are shown in the tooltip on the "Open Project" dialog, as well as in the tab area of the level editor.

Splitted World Browser views into three independent windows, each window can be summoned from a hierarchy view or details view toolbar
World composition can now be toggled through WorldSettings - bEnableWorldComposition. Once enabled persistent level will be treated as a world root. No more '?worldcompistion' parameter workarounds. 'Open World' command was removed, as levels saved with world composition enabled can be open through 'Open Level' command.
Added bEnableWorldOriginRebasing parameter to WorldSettings, which contols whether world origin shifting should be used

#ttp 331829 - Mobile Preview in Editor
#proj Engine
#branch UE4
#summary First pass of changes to remove GRHIFeatureLevel, allowing for multiple scenes with different feature levels to exist. First step towards dynamic mobile preview in the editor.
#change Added GMaxRHIFeature level which contains the highest supported feature level on this machine
#change Added a cvar "r.FeatureLevelPreview" which, when set to 1, enables a feature level selection in the quick settings menu. Not wired up to anything at the minute
#change Added a feature level variable to FScene, which is currently initialized to whatever GRHIFeatureLevel is. Accessed with GetFeatureLevel()
#change Added a helper accessor GetFeatureLevel() to FSceneView which gets the feature level from the relevant scene. Purely to reduce the amount of typing needed to get to a feature level
#change Many changes across the renderer to try and read the current feature level from the view or scene. Not everything is done yet, but this is almost all of the "easy" stuff. As there is still just a global feature level in the engine, nothing should change.
