MAJOR FEATURES + CHANGES
==========================
Change 2718441 on 2015/10/06 by Ben.Marsh@Ben.Marsh_T3245_Stream
Allow nodes to be added with an "explicit" frequency, meaning that they'll only be part of manually triggered builds (not CIS).
Change 2718698 on 2015/10/06 by Ben.Marsh@Ben.Marsh_T3245_Stream
Add a type of node that can execute an arbitrary sequence of tasks, and allow constructing graphs of such nodes from an XML file.
Change 2723013 on 2015/10/09 by Ben.Marsh@Ben.Marsh_T3245_Stream
Small utility to quickly capture a workspace, or delete files to restore the workspace to a previously captured state (and output a p4 sync list to restore it)
Change 2744521 on 2015/10/28 by Matthew.Griffin@Matthew.Griffin_G5772_BuildStream
Adding config entries to determine which platforms/configurations are available
Currently only written out as part of the Rocket Build process but could be done elsewhere for other types of installed build.
A near identical singleton class is used in both C++ and C# to load the config section and check whether configuration/platform combinations are valid.
Change 2773723 on 2015/11/19 by Ben.Marsh@Ben.Marsh_T3245_Stream
Copying UnrealGameSync into Engine/Source/Programs.
Change 2773914 on 2015/11/19 by Ben.Marsh@Ben.Marsh_T3245_Stream
PR #1687: [GitDependencies] New feature: ignore file support (.gitdepsignore) (Contributed by nbjk667)
Change 2775317 on 2015/11/20 by Ben.Marsh@Ben.Marsh_T3245_Stream
Add a -listtps option to UBT, which will find all the TPS files in any directory that's compiled into a target.
Change 2780832 on 2015/11/25 by Ben.Marsh@Ben.Marsh_T3245_Stream
Allow compiling a single file in UBT. Pass -singlefile=<Path> on command line to UBT to use.
Change 2781071 on 2015/11/25 by Ben.Marsh@Ben.Marsh_T3245_Stream
Precompile all valid engine modules for Rocket by default. Modules may set the PrecompileForTargets field to control which configurations they should be compiled for. Modules which currently fail to compile have this set to
PrecompileTargetsType.None.

Change 2784469 on 2015/12/01 by Matthew.Griffin@Matthew.Griffin_G5772_BuildStream
Added -FastPDB commandline parameter for UBT, so that we can make use of the /DEBUG:FASTLINK option in VS2015
Change 2784722 on 2015/12/01 by Matthew.Griffin@Matthew.Griffin_G5772_BuildStream
Made -FastPDB option part of BuildConfiguration instead of checking commandline at each place it's used. Also added option to override if someone doesn't want it automatically added to their project files.
Change 2787501 on 2015/12/02 by Ben.Marsh@Ben.Marsh_T3245_Stream
Restore change to gather VC environment directly from registry.

Change 2717513 on 2015/10/06 by Robert.Manuszewski@Robert_Manuszewski_EGUK_M1
GC and WeakObjectPtr performance optimizations.
- Moved some of the EObjectFlags to EInternalObjectFlags and merged them with FUObjectArray
- Moved WeakObjectPtr serial numbersto FUObjectArray
- Added pre-allocated UObject array
Change 2716517 on 2015/10/05 by Robert.Manuszewski@Robert_Manuszewski_EGUK_M1
Make SavePackage thread safe UObject-wise so that StaticFindObject etc can't run in parallel when packages are being saved.
Change 2721142 on 2015/10/08 by Mikolaj.Sieluzycki@Dev-Core_D0920
UHT will now use makefiles to speed up iterative runs.
Change 2726320 on 2015/10/13 by Jaroslaw.Palczynski@jaroslaw.palczynski_D1732_2963
Hot-reload performance optimizations:
1. Got rid of redundant touched BPs optimization (which was necessary before major HR fixes submitted earlier).
2. Parallelized search for old CDOs referencers.
Change 2759032 on 2015/11/09 by Graeme.Thornton@GThornton_DesktopMaster
Dependency preloading improvements
- Asset registry dependencies now resolve asset redirectors
- Rearrange runtime loading to put dependency preloads within BeginLoad/EndLoad for the source package
Change 2754342 on 2015/11/04 by Robert.Manuszewski@Robert_Manuszewski_Stream1

CrashReporter Web - Search by Platform
Added initial support for streams (GetBranchesAsListItems, CopyToJira)
Change 2762387 on 2015/11/11 by Steve.Robb@Dev-Core
Unnecessary allocation removed when loading empty files in FFileHelper::LoadFileToString.
Change 2762632 on 2015/11/11 by Steve.Robb@Dev-Core
Some TSet function optimisations:
Avoiding unnecessary hashing of function arguments if the container is empty (rather than the hash being empty, which is not necessarily equivalent).
Taking local copies of HashSize during iterations.
Change 2762936 on 2015/11/11 by Steve.Robb@Dev-Core
BulkData zero byte allocations are now handled by an RAII object which owns the memory.
Change 2765758 on 2015/11/13 by Steve.Robb@Dev-Core
FName::operator== and != optimised to be a single comparison.
Change 2757195 on 2015/11/06 by Jaroslaw.Surowiec@Stream.1.JarekSurowiec

Change to makefile timestamp checks to use FileInfo instead of FileItem to avoid some time offset issues.
Misc cleanups in some module reload code.

[CL 2557832 by Steve Robb in Main branch]
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)
[CL 2517558 by Andrew Rodham in Main branch]
We already had FPlatformProcess::CreateProc/CloseProc pair (which is part of larger set with WaitForProc(), TerminateProc(), GetProcReturnCode(), etc). FProcHandle::Close() made the API more confusing (and actually introduced bugs, because it did not call CloseProc() until recently).

[CL 2476322 by Dmitry Rekman in Main branch]
Stopped the "Compiling C++ Code" message in the editor MainFrame always having a cancel button
FModuleCompilerStartedEvent now passes a bool to say whether the hot-reload/compile operation is being run async, or whether it's blocking. We now only show the cancel button for async compiles, as the UI is otherwise blocked waiting for the compile to finish.
Added a bWaitForCompletion input parameter to DoHotReloadFromEditor. This mirrors the RebindPackages API that DoHotReloadFromEditor internally calls, and prevents UPackFactory needing to perform a manual tick.

Made sure that FHotReloadModule still reported slow task progress while stuck in a busy loop

[CL 2435569 by Matthew Griffin in Main branch]
Fixed failed C++ hot reload not displaying an error to the user (UE-8241)
- Also added slightly better progress reporting to hot reload when adding code to a project
[CL 2419709 by Ben Marsh in Main branch]
* Multicast delegate Add* calls now return FDelegateHandles, and Remove* calls are now all deprecated, except for a new Remove function which takes a FDelegateHandle.
* New FConsoleManager::RegisterConsoleVariableSink_Handle and UnregisterConsoleVariableSink_Handle functions which work in terms of FConsoleVariableSinkHandle.
* Timer calls which don't take FTimerHandles are deprecated.
* FTicker::AddTicker now returns an FDelegateHandle and is removed by an overloaded Remove function.
* DEFINE_ONLINE_DELEGATE* macros now define _Handle variants of the Add/Remove functions which return/take handles.
* Various other handle-based registration changes.
* Some unity build fixes.
* Some simplification of delegate code.
* Fixes for lots of existing code to use handle-based registration and unregistration.

- When hot reload was invoked from the IDE, the editor would not reload all of the game modules if there was more than one module had the game name as part of the module name
- For example after compiling "VehicleGame" and "VehicleGameLoadingScreen", only "VehicleGameLoadingScreen" would be reloaded in the editor
