Change 2986511 on 2016/05/23 by Ben.Marsh
UdpMessaging: Force references to symbols in the files containing UDP automated tests. Since plugins are compiled into static libraries before being linked into the executable, the linker will exclude any object files which don't have any referenced symbols. In non-unity builds, or adaptive unity builds with modified test files, this results in the tests not being linked in.
Change 2993274 on 2016/05/27 by Ben.Marsh
Fix UGS enumerating deleted .target.cs files when trying to detect editor target name.
Change 2994265 on 2016/05/31 by Ben.Marsh

UnrealGameSync: Fix trying to sync files which are open for branch or move/add. They don't exist on the server yet.
Change 2997619 on 2016/06/02 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Fix PRX files not being remapped on PS4. All non-UFS should be allowed to be remapped, and UFS files can be if we're not using a PAK file.
Change 2999769 on 2016/06/03 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix codepaths which assume that the current user account has a personal folder. The SYSTEM account (which Jenkins defaults to using) does not.

EC: Produce an error if trying to sync back to a changelist more than 30 days before the most recent change. Meant to catch errors in entered CL fields from the dashboard. Can be overridden by specifying --allow-old-change in the build arguments.
Change 3017695 on 2016/06/17 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Use a well defined order for parsing configuration files, rather than ignoring one file if another has a newer timestamp. Prevents confusing behavior where settings can be present, but are completely ignored. Now prioritizes the BuildConfiguration.xml file in the My Documents/Unreal Engine/UnrealBuildTool, followed by the one in AppData/Roaming/Unreal Engine/UnrealBuildTool. Both are added to the Config section of the solution if present, under different folders.
#jira UE-24271
Change 3017698 on 2016/06/17 by Ben.Marsh

#jira UEB-664
Change 3017701 on 2016/06/17 by Ben.Marsh
BuildGraph: Relax a lot of the restrictions relating to using output tags from nodes. Output tags may contain an arbitrary set of files, including files which are also in other tags or produced by other nodes, but will not be written to temp storage more than once. The default tagged set of files for a node (eg. #MyNodeName) now includes all build products produced by that node.
Temp storage now separates the storing of build products from the tags which reference them. A TempStorageFileList object is written for each output tag, which includes a list of files as well as a list of the storage blocks referenced by it. When a node depends on a tag, the TempStorageFileList is read first and used to determine which storage blocks to read.
All tasks now have overloaded functions for returning the tags which they modify and/or reference, and errors are produced if an existing tag is modified, or referenced without being added as an input dependency.
Change 3017714 on 2016/06/17 by Ben.Marsh
BuildGraph: Allow specifying multiple tag names in the 'Tag' attribute of build tasks (or 'With' attribute of the 'Tag' task).
Change 3018007 on 2016/06/17 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Add sections to the target receipt listing files which are required to build using precompiled binaries (as previously generated using -generateexternalfilelist), and runtime dependencies that may be required when using precompiled binaries but aren't actually required for the current target (which previously had to be specified through InstalledEngineFilters.ini). Tested by running UBT with arguments "UE4Game Win64 Development -precompile -xgeexport" and examining target receipt.

UBT: Exclude precompiled files from the target receipt which are outside the engine and project directories. We don't need SDK libs being added to the precompile list.
Change 3020966 on 2016/06/21 by Ben.Marsh
EC: Allow scheduling builds at a certain offset past midnight, using the schedule formatted like "Every 20m from 04:00", and add scheduled builds of target platforms for dev streams every 4 hours. Also make the meaning of "Editor Only" and "Editor, Tools & Monolithics" build names consistent between Dev streams and Main, and add a new "Editor, Tools, Monolithics & DDC" build type includes additional DDC build for //UE4/Main.

Merging Oodle changes from Dev-Networking
Change 2939167 on 2016/04/10 by John.Barrett
Updated packet bit termination code, so that both UNetConnection's and the PacketHandler use a termination bit (required for both PacketHandler/UNetconnection, as HandlerComponent's such as Oodle, are byte-aligned and do not preserve packet bit size).
Added new 'stat packet' stats group, for tracking reserved packet bits.
Added '-NoPacketHandler' commandline parameter, for disabling the PacketHandler and all HandlerComponent's (including stateless handshake) - restoring netcode to pre-PacketHandler state.
Removed PacketHandler 'packet overhead' method of packet bit size calculation - replaced with termination bit. Still partially used for reserving bits within packets (but renamed to avoid conflict with other 'PacketOverhead' variable).
Refactored/consolidated some PacketHandler code. Added more stringent bounds checking on packet sizes.
Change 2939168 on 2016/04/10 by John.Barrett
Updated Oodle to support new packet bit-termination code.
Added Oodle protocol support for selective packet compression (packets can now be sent uncompressed - game code will require a hook for this) - required for new bit-based netcode (Oodle outputs byte-aligned data, allowing compressed data to exceed size of uncompressed data - and thus, maximum packet size if not sent uncompressed - in rare edge cases).
Added '-CompressionTest' commandline parameter to Oodle dictionary generation commandlet, which reserves a portion of captured packets, for determining the compression savings percentage.
Added '-OodleDebugDump' commandline parameter, which disables normal dictionary generation, and converts packet captures into a .bin file, which is compatible with the Oodle 'example_packet.cpp' code.
Added temporary security bandaids to Oodle code, based on report that Luigi Auriemma put together, which deals with potential weaknesses in the Oodle API
Added 'stat oodle' stats for tracking failed attempts at compressing packets.
Change 2942964 on 2016/04/10 by Ryan.Gerleve
Fix broken indentation/formatting
Change 2958260 on 2016/04/27 by Bart.bRessler
Add branch name and changelist to oodle packet capture filenames.
Change 2964360 on 2016/05/03 by John.Barrett
Updated Oodle to support using a dictionary and capturing packets at the same time.
The dictionary is now always loaded, if specified, and whenever -OodleCapturing is on the commandline, packets are captured alongside the active dictionary.
Added several debug commands, to aid with testing compression performance (not QA-ready; only works with 1 player on a server):
"Oodle Compression On/Off" - enables/disables packet compression (but still decompresses received compressed packets)
"Oodle Dictionary Unload/Load" - unloads/loads the dictionary files, to allow releasing the files for dictionary generation, and reloading the new dictionary.
"Oodle Capture On/Off" - Enables/Disables packet capturing at runtime - requires '-OodleCapturing' on commandline.
"Oodle ResetStats" - resets the 'stat oodle' stat counters.
The NetcodeUnitTest plugin should be enabled, so that these commands can automatically execute on the server as well, as needed.
Change 2964553 on 2016/05/03 by Bart.Bressler

Change 2968761 on 2016/05/06 by Bart.Bressler
- Added changelist number as parameter to most command line tasks to filter captures by their changelist number (use "all" to get everything)
- Moved a bunch of the file searching/processing code outside of the tasks themselves so that the tasks all just operate to an array of capture files, this makes it easier to create new command line options
- When looking for capture files, we will now recursively search subdirectories
Change 2970529 on 2016/05/09 by Bart.Bressler
Add an optional "CapturePercentage" command line parameter that has a percentage chance of generating capture files per connection

Change 2969652 on 2016/05/06 by Michael.Noland
HLOD: Changed UI gating code so that whether or not a LOD Actor is valid is based on the presence of at least two static mesh components, rather than at least two actors (to improve handling when including BPs)
- Repurposed HasValidSubActors for this check, and introduced HasAnySubActors() for the existing uses as this better matches the intent of how the function was used
#tests Added a single BP containing 7 mesh components to a new ALODActor and verified that it allowed a proxy to be generated

HttpManager will log outstanding requests on shutdown so people can debug shutdown issues and ensure their requests get flushed properly. Also changed default LogHttp logging level to display so these messages can be shown by default without using warning level.
#tests ran editor build and queued up an event using the console command, then quit immediately. the log indeed showed that HttpManager had to wait at least 0.5 seconds for the request to complete.

Rendering: Added triangle and draw call summaries to ProfileGPU output, broken up by asset and material
- This is controlled by r.ProfileGPU.PrintAssetSummary, which defaults to 1, but you really need r.ShowMaterialDrawEvents 1 enabled as well for a complete picture
- It can also output a summary line for speciifc asset names using a comma separated list in r.ProfileGPU.AssetSummaryCallOuts (e.g., "LOD,HeroName")

Avoid output of warnings containing the string "error:" (and causing the EC post processor to fail the build) if posting build info has a human-readable error message instead. Output should probably be changed to parse out/sanitize the actual failure message if it's meant to retry and succeed, but this will stop failures caused by multiple builds being posted with the same build version.
#tests none
Change 2962506 on 2016/05/02 by Ben.Marsh
Add a version string to identify a given build (FApp::GetBuildVersion()/BUILD_VERSION) which is distinct from the engine version. Defaults to <Escaped Branch Name>-CL-<Changelist>, but can be overriden by specifying a -Build=... argument to UpdateLocalVersion or the "Build" attribute to the SetVersion BuildGraph task.
#tests Preflighted Win64 client/server build (P:\Builds\Orion\++Orion+Dev-General-CL-2962228-PF-2945494-6398155-PF-2945494-6398155) and loaded into Agora. Checked that version strings appear correctly in generated executables.

- Coded by RobC, post-processed by me.
#tests Compiled Linux server and Windows client, ran them on compatible content, played a match.
Change 2961899 on 2016/04/29 by Ben.Marsh
BuildGraph: Fix minimal Linux server builds not overwriting the existing executables, by adding an "Overwrite" parameter into the staging task. Windows exe-only patches already happen to bypass this bug by deleting the Binaries/Win64 directory (designed to remove any configurations that weren't built this time), but could still fail if changes had been made to some other staged binaries.
#tests preflighted code-only build against DG CL 2960870 and compared output (P:\Builds\Orion\++Orion+Dev-General-CL-2961878-PF-2961895-6393603)

(Optionally) exclude idle time from server FPS charts.
- Time spent waiting for the next frame in order to hit capped FPS can be optionally excluded by using t.FPSChart.ExcludeIdleTime (set to 1 for servers).

Remaking latest build scripts from //UE4/Main @ 2900980.
Change 2903560 on 2016/03/10 by Ben.Marsh
Initial version of BuildGraph scripts - used to create build processes in UE4 which can be run locally or in parallel across a build farm (assuming synchronization and resource allocation implemented by a separate system). Intended to supersede GUBP.
Build graphs are declared using an XML script using syntax similar to MSBuild, ANT or NAnt, and consist of the following components:
* Tasks: Building blocks which can be executed as part of the build process. Many predefined tasks are provided (<Cook>, <Compile>, <Copy>, <Stage>, <Log>, <PakFile>, etc...), and additional tasks may be added be declaring classes derived from AutomationTool.CustomTask in other UAT modules.
* Nodes: A named sequence of tasks which is executed to produce outputs. Nodes may have input dependencies on other nodes before they can be executed. Declared with the <Node> element in scripts.
* Agent Groups: A set of nodes nodes which is executed on the same machine if running as part of a build system. Has no effect when building locally. Declared with the <Group> element in scripts.
* Triggers: Container for groups which should only be executed when explicitly triggered (using the -Trigger=<Name> or -SkipTriggers command line argument). Declared with the <Trigger> element in scripts.
* Notifiers: Specifies email recipients for failures in one or more nodes, whether they should receive notifications on warnings, and so on.
Properties can be passed in to a script on the command line, or set procedurally with the <Property Name="Foo" Value="Bar"/> syntax. Properties referenced with the $(Property Name) notation are valid within all strings, and will be expanded as macros when the script is read. If a property name is not set explicitly, it defaults to the contents of an environment variable with the same name.
Local properties, which only affect the scope of the containing XML element (node, group, etc...) are declared with the <Local Name="Foo" Value="Bar"/> element, and will override a similarly named global property for the local property's scope.
Any elements can be conditionally defined via the "If" attribute, and are largely identical to MSBuild conditions. Literals in conditions may be quoted with single (') or double (") quotes, or an unquoted sequence of letters, digits and underscore characters. All literals are considered identical regardless of how they are declared, and are considered case-insensitive for comparisons (so true equals 'True', equals "TRUE"). Available operators are "==", "!=", "And", "Or", "!", "(...)", "Exists(...)" and "HasTrailingSlash(...)". A full grammar is written up in Condition.cs.
File manipulation is done using wildcards and tags. Any attribute that accepts a list of files may consist of: a Perforce-style wildcard (matching any number of "...", "*" and "?" patterns in any location), a full path name, or a reference to a tagged collection of files, denoted by prefixing with a '#' character. Files may be added to a tag set using the <Tag> Task, which also allows performing set union/difference style operations. Each node can declare multiple outputs in the form of a list of named tags, which other nodes can then depend on.
Build graphs may be executed in parallel as part build system. To do so, the initial graph configuration is generated by running with the -Export=<Filename> argument (producing a JSON file listing the nodes and dependencies to execute). Each participating agent should be synced to the same changelist, and UAT should be re-run with the appropriate -Node=<Name> argument. Outputs from different nodes are transferred between agents via shared storage, typically a network share, the path to which can be specified on the command line using the -SharedStorageDir=<Path> argument. Note that the allocation of machines, and coordination between them, is assumed to be managed by an external system.
A schema for the known set of tasks can be generated by running UAT with the "-Schema=<FileName>" option. Generating a schema and referencing it from a BuildGraph script allows Visual Studio to validate and auto-complete elements as you type.
