- Linkers are no longer UObjects. Renamed ULinker, ULinkerLoad and ULinkerSave to FLinker, FLinkerLoad, FLinkerSave respectively
- Linkers are now associated with their UPackages
- Linker version is now stored in UPackages
- Async loading is now performed on a separate thread (if platform supports it and only in cooked builds), with the exception of PostLoad which is still done on the game thread
- Added UObject::IsPostLoadThreadSafe() function to determine if PostLoad is thread safe and can be executed on the async loading thread (defaults to false)
- UObject creation is now thread safe and can be performed on any thread
- Move many of the linker/UObject globals into FUObjectThreadContext (TLS)
- GetAsyncLoadPercentage() now takes PostLoad into account
- More async loading stats
- Added AtomicallySetFlags/ClearFlags to UObject
- Made FModuleManager thread safe.
- Added FGCScopeGuard as means of preventing GC from executing from non-game thread
- It's possible to disable async loading thread through ini settings.
- Cancelling async loading will now also trigger GC
- Implemented a basic version of async streaming priorities.

[CL 2498249 by Robert Manuszewski 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]
- CDO property values that have changed after hot-reload will now be propagated to the existing instances
- Adding code to a non-code project will no longer require restarting the editor to be able to work with new code (the new module will automatically be compiled and loaded)
[CL 2385307 by Robert Manuszewski in Main branch]
#change UBT: Added support for hot-reload when UBT is called from IDE and the current target is curring
#change Added support for hot-reload from VS to the engine
#change Refactored hot-reload functionality to a separarte module
#change Added hot-reload analytics events
[CL 2255801 by Robert Manuszewski in Main branch]
There is now a consistent set of methods for module loading, unloading and lookup that all behave in the same expected way.
- renamed GetModuleInterface to GetModule and made it not assert
- removed GetModuleInterfaceRef
- namespace enums to enum classes, NULL to nullptr
- moved important public methods to the top, so they're easier to discover
- added missing & improved existing documentation
- cleaned up existing use cases
