MAJOR FEATURES + CHANGES
==========================
Change 3233612 on 2016/12/13 by Ben.Marsh
UGS: Fix cases where precompiled binaries are submitted for a content change.
Change 3235584 on 2016/12/14 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Deprecate the overridable TargetRules.ShouldUseSharedBuildEnvironment() function; targets should specify which build environment to use by setting the BuildEnvironment field in their constructor instead.
Change 3235741 on 2016/12/14 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Deprecate the SetupBinaries() callback on the TargetRules class. Instead of overriding this, targets may override their launch module through the "LaunchModuleName" property in their constructor, and add extra modules to the "ExtraModuleNames" field on the TargetRules object itself.
Change 3238176 on 2016/12/16 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: New XML config file parser. Now reads once at startup and can be applied to instanced objects rather than global fields, and caches parsed output in a binary form for quicker initialization on subsequent runs.
Change 3238249 on 2016/12/16 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Add attribute-driven command line parser.
Change 3238462 on 2016/12/16 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Include the Platform, Configuration and Architecture on the TargetRules. Add a constructor which takes the TargetInfo object and deprecate the parameterless one; these fields are currently initialized before invoking the constructor in RulesAssembly.
Change 3238564 on 2016/12/16 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Deprecate the ModuleRules constructor which takes a TargetInfo argument. Replace it with a read-only wrapper around the target rules instead, so target-specific configuration options can be read without needing to access global static variables. Also require that it's passed to the base class constructor.
Change 3239919 on 2016/12/19 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove the "PreferredSubPlatform" property. This is only used for Windows XP support, which is being retired anyway. Having the target define its own architecture is an awkward contractiction to maintain support for, since the target rules are constructed after the architecture already has been determined.
Change 3240061 on 2016/12/19 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove ThirdPartyHeaderFinder. I don't think anything is using this any more.
Change 3240175 on 2016/12/19 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Add the target name and project file location to the target rules.
Change 3240490 on 2016/12/19 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Remove Mac staging code that requires UAT to compile and construct .target.cs files when packaging, to check bUseSteam and bUseCEF3 flags. libsteam_api.dylib is now staged at build time by adding it as a bundle resource, CEF3 is already marked as a runtime dependency by CEF3.build.cs, and UnrealCEFSubProcess.app is already marked as a runtime dependency from WebBrowser.build.cs.
Change 3240717 on 2016/12/20 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Allow configuring UAT to run as if on a build machine by passing the -buildmachine argument on the command line.
Change 3240718 on 2016/12/20 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Remove target-specific properties that are no longer used by staging (bUsesSlate, bUsesCEF3, etc...). This stuff should all be handled inside UBT.
Change 3241002 on 2016/12/20 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Move most target configuration settings from UEBuildConfiguration to TargetRules. This encapsulates target specific settings that will allow instancing multiple targets in the future. To facilitate migration of settings to their new location, "UEBuildConfiguration" is now a property that returns the current target rules instance.
Change 3241027 on 2016/12/20 by Ben.Marsh
Only copy the Steamworks dylib into the app bundle for monolithic builds. For all other times, just add it as a runtime dependency.
Change 3241055 on 2016/12/20 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Only store a ReadOnlyTargetRules object on the instanced build target; finalize the configuration before it's instantiated.
Change 3241156 on 2016/12/20 by Ben.Marsh
Update SwarmInterface.csproj to .NET framework 4.5, to match what all other C# tools are using.
Change 3241205 on 2016/12/20 by Ben.Marsh
Replace all uses of TargetRules.TargetType with TargetType.
Change 3241881 on 2016/12/21 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove project file information from UEBuildContext base class. As configurable properties are moved on to the TargetRules object, it will no longer be a dependency to instantiate the platform with this path.
Change 3241895 on 2016/12/21 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove toolchain support for Windows XP.
Change 3241908 on 2016/12/21 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Move settings for windows targets into a WindowsTargetRules class, which is exposed for targets to modify via the TargetRules.WindowsPlatform field.
Change 3242835 on 2016/12/22 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix multiple binaries being created if plugins specify module names more than once. MfMedia.uplugin has MfMediaFactory listed twice.
Change 3242837 on 2016/12/22 by Ben.Marsh
Change UE4EditorServices to include MacSystemIncludes rather than Cocoa.h directly; causes FVector to be defined incorrectly in non-unity builds.
Change 3242923 on 2016/12/22 by Ben.Marsh
Build: Fixes for conforming incremental workspaces:
* P4 have table is now reset before deleting all the files. This prevents Perforce being out of sync if the delete fails for some reason.
* Incremental workspaces are skipped when running a clean operation, because they do not have a workspace capture file (causing a full re-sync, always). The "P4 Clean" option is still effective for cleaning these workspaces.
Change 3242961 on 2016/12/22 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Move entry points from PreBuildSync() and PostBuildSync() from UEToolChain to UEBuildPlatform, and make the original toolchain versions static. These functions are already at odds with the rest of the data flow within UBT because they rely on global state cached outside the toolchain instance, making assumptions that UBT is only ever going to be invoked with one target that's constructed in the same run and that nothing is being cached (eg. UBT makefiles). Moving them onto UEBuildPlatform simplifies the toolchain lifecycle for other platforms without leaving Mac and IOS any more limited than they were before.
Change 3242981 on 2016/12/22 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove symbol server handling code into UAT's platform library, since it's never needed from inside UBT.
Change 3242999 on 2016/12/22 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove the StripSymbols() function from the UEToolChain base class. This functionality is only required by UAT, so it's better suited to being exposed through UAT's modular platform classes.
Change 3243022 on 2016/12/22 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Require an instance of the target rules to be able to construct a toolchain in UBT. This will allow configuring toolchain-specific options from the target, using reflection from config files, and the command line.
Change 3243083 on 2016/12/22 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Move settings for the Windows compiler version to use onto the Windows-specific target rules.
Change 3243090 on 2016/12/22 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Change the third party paths in UEBuildConfiguration to constants. Changing these would not work.
Change 3243423 on 2016/12/23 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Move a lot of settings from BuildConfiguration to TargetRules. This allows different targets to have different settings, naturally, and moves converts argument parsing and config to be driven by attributes.
Change 3243516 on 2016/12/23 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove the ValidateUEBuildConfiguration callback, which is no longer used. (XGE settings validation occurs in XGE.cs)
Change 3244020 on 2016/12/28 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove the BaseIntermediatePath static property. Precursor to removing RelativeEnginePath and IntermediateFolder properties.
Change 3244074 on 2016/12/28 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove the RelativeEnginePath variable from BuildConfiguration. UnrealBuildTool.EngineDirectory gives the absolute path, and can be used to construct a relative path when necessary.
Change 3244076 on 2016/12/28 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove BuildConfiguration.BaseIntermediateFolder; just use a fixed directory everywhere instead.
Change 3244083 on 2016/12/28 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Replace FileReference and DirectoryReference instance methods for manipulating files and directories with static methods, to mirror the System.IO.File and System.IO.Directory classes.
Change 3244441 on 2016/12/31 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove code to force PDBs when building with no debug info under XGE. Verified described symptoms (that it causes PCH generation to be serialized) no longer occur.
Change 3244687 on 2017/01/03 by Matthew.Griffin
Changed Exception to use FirstInclude.IncludeName as PrecompiledHeaderIncludeFilename can be null when this occurs
Change 3246112 on 2017/01/04 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix UHT failures building some targets with the -useprecompiled option, due to differences in the order that circularly dependent modules are parsed. Precompiled binaries are now kept in the regular AppBinaries list, but are excluded from the build at the last minute. Also change some checks from IsEngineInstalled() to bUsePrecompiled, to prevent headers being overwritten when running in a non-installed precompiled build.
Change 3246223 on 2017/01/04 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Prevent version manifests being overridden if a file is not being built as part of the target.
Change 3246387 on 2017/01/04 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove BuildConfiguration settings for UnrealCodeAnalyzer. This tool isn't used at the moment, but it's configured using global variables accessed from all over the UBT codebase, making it difficult to refactor the build options into an instanced object. If we bring this tool back from the dead in the future, it should be possible to implement it using the exported JSON target definition or the XGE manifest, similarly to how IncludeTool uses it.
Change 3247004 on 2017/01/04 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Simplify the logic for cleaning targets in UBT. Now uses FileReference/DirectoryReference objects everywhere, doesn't require the compile/link environment, and does all the checking to avoid deleting precompiled binaries in one place.
Change 3247250 on 2017/01/04 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Prevent precompiled binaries being added to the list of app binaries twice.
Change 3247594 on 2017/01/05 by Ben.Marsh
Build: Run sample and template editors on the same agents as the other incremental builds. Remove ProtoStar, which does not have any non-precompiled editor target to build.
Change 3247763 on 2017/01/05 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Allow the toolchain to update the list of build products for each module linked into a binary. Allows Mac to add dylibs and bundle resources specified per-module without having to construct a link environment and try to link them.
Change 3247775 on 2017/01/05 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Instance the target compile and link environments when they are required during building, and don't persist them on the UEBuildTarget instance.
Change 3247811 on 2017/01/05 by Ben.Marsh
EC: Add a batch file for testing postp filters.
Change 3247839 on 2017/01/05 by Ben.Marsh
EC: Include the name of the file being compiled when parsing MSVC errors and warnings.
Change 3248101 on 2017/01/05 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix Android support for force included headers.
Change 3248533 on 2017/01/05 by Ben.Marsh
PR #3097: UBT project supports optional platforms (Contributed by PrimalJohnScott)
Change 3249205 on 2017/01/06 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Fix ParseTaggedP4Output throwing an exception if the same key name is specified more than once. This can happen when parsing the output from "P4 INFO", where multiple brokers are present.
Change 3249249 on 2017/01/06 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Check for the existance of AndroidManifest.xml within extracted AAR directories, rather than just checking for the existance of the directory itself. Perforce does not remove empty directories when cleaning a workspace unless the rmdir option is on the workspace, so this can cause incremental build failures to fail on build machines.
Change 3249486 on 2017/01/06 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Use relative paths in unity files when compiling for Mac/IOS, rather than generating a separate local/remote version of the file for gathering include dependencies. Absolute paths are only used to work around the way that MSVC concatenates paths internally; we don't hit the same problems when checking dependencies.
Change 3249736 on 2017/01/06 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Rename CPPEnvironment to CppCompileEnvironment, and remove the separate CPPEnvironmentConfiguration object. All settings are now stored directly on the CppCompileEnvironment object.
Change 3250179 on 2017/01/07 by Ben.Marsh
Fix creating installed build when root directory contains a space in the name.
Change 3250181 on 2017/01/07 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove some esoteric (and unused, AFAIK) options for orthogonally building different platforms.
Change 3250223 on 2017/01/07 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Merge the LinkEnvironment and LinkEnvironmentConfiguration classes together.
Change 3250233 on 2017/01/07 by Ben.Marsh
UGS: Allow specifying a workspace-specific sync filter, which is applied on top of the standard filter. Also fix filter being cleared if the cancel button is pressed, and help text being stripped out.
Change 3250241 on 2017/01/07 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Move the options for specifying additional Android architectures to target onto an Android-specific object on the TargetRules.
Change 3250400 on 2017/01/08 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Move executor config settings onto the executor instances.
Change 3257708 on 2017/01/13 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove the ThirdPartySourceDirectory constant; there are many places which hard-code or assume this location anyway, and it's not going to change.
Change 3260535 on 2017/01/17 by Ben.Marsh
Add an optional "RequiredSubmittedChange" setting to EC settings files. Allows a scheduled job to run even if there have been no code changes submitted. Test with the utilization capture job.
Change 3260875 on 2017/01/17 by Ben.Marsh
EC: Fix workspaces getting out of sync wrt. newly added files when jobs are aborted during a sync. In such cases, the P4 have table indicates the new files have been synced locally, but the workspace is forced back to a state before it had them due to the capture file. When a following sync tries to add them again, P4 believes the workspace already has them synced.
To work around this, we now write an additional file to the root folder of a workspace containing the last CL that was captured, and sync back to it before doing the reconcile.
Change 3261724 on 2017/01/18 by Ben.Marsh
Allow filtering job types from the list view in EC. Hide the utilization capture job by default. Also set up notifications for the utilization capture job.
Change 3261756 on 2017/01/18 by Ben.Marsh
IncludeTool: Prevent matching a full enum declaration as a forward declaration.
Change 3261932 on 2017/01/18 by Ben.Marsh
EC: Add support for specifying days of the week in schedules. The following syntaxes are supported:
"Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 10:30"
"Daily except Sunday and Wednesday at 14:30"
Also tweak display of dates relative to now to handle dates/times in the future, and include the date when specifying a day name.
#jira UEB-729
Change 3262676 on 2017/01/18 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Split UBTMakefile into its own file. (From PR #3106)
Change 3263893 on 2017/01/19 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Stop exporting platform classes from UBT, as well as all the referenced classes that have to be made public as a result. Any platform-specific functionality that needs to be shared with UAT is now exposed through wrappers in separate public classes, eg. WindowsExports.cs, IOSExports.cs, etc...
Change 3264291 on 2017/01/19 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix errors generating documentation in UBT, and enable it by default. Will catch more errors with new code being added. Originally in PR #3106, but redone due to conflicts.
Change 3264534 on 2017/01/19 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Include plugin config files in generated projects.
Change 3264571 on 2017/01/19 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Prevent overwriting .modules files if nothing has changed. On builders, it's common to build multiple editors in the same workspace, and changing the last modified timestamp causes BuildGraph to fail due to tampered files.
Change 3265745 on 2017/01/20 by Ben.Marsh
UGS: Automatically open UGS when running the launcher for a second time, rather than prompting to close the original instance.
Change 3265777 on 2017/01/20 by Ben.Marsh
UGS: Automatically close and reopen when UGS is re-ran with the shift key held down to switch into unstable mode.
Change 3268314 on 2017/01/23 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Make sure version manifests are stable by sorting the list of build products, so they are only touched if the contents have really changed.
Change 3269601 on 2017/01/24 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix symbol files being added to manifest for some platforms even though debug info is disabled.
Change 3269607 on 2017/01/24 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix bug where UBT would need to be invoked when switching between two editors sharing the same engine binaries on Mac. The location of the .modules file cannot be guessed on Mac by looking in the same directory as the primary output executable because it's an .app bundle, and the actual modules are nested several directories below that.
Change 3269608 on 2017/01/24 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix additional files copied into the app bundle always being updated on Mac. Now uses rsync --checksum to make sure only modified files are updated.
Change 3271062 on 2017/01/24 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fixes for bugs detected by PVS Studio (PR #3161)
Change 3272421 on 2017/01/25 by Ben.Marsh
Fix commends regarding DDC in BaseEngine.ini
#jira UE-41076
Change 3272810 on 2017/01/25 by Ben.Marsh
Fix VS2017 being displayed as 'Visual Studio 15' in the Windows target settings panel.
Change 3272935 on 2017/01/25 by Ben.Marsh
Fix Metal errors launching on Mac due to use of OSX environment settings before they are initialized. Toolchain settings are now constructed on demand in a separate class, for Mac, iOS and TVOS.
Change 3274167 on 2017/01/26 by Ben.Marsh
Fix resource files not being compiled in installed builds on Windows. Was causing metadata not to be embedded into executables.
#jira UE-36457
Change 3275557 on 2017/01/27 by Ben.Marsh
Expand checks for propagation of restricted folder names to include source files, and to ensure that each restricted folder is represented in the output. Also improve messaging to show the dependency chain leading to a restricted folder being referenced, and which folder it is.
Change 3275628 on 2017/01/27 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Splitting configuration files into one class per-file.
Change 3276784 on 2017/01/29 by Ben.Marsh
Add an authoritative list of confidential folder names, and expose it through global BuildGraph properties ($(RestrictedFolderNames) and $(RestrictedFolderFilter)). Also switch existing scripts to use it.
Change 3276792 on 2017/01/29 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Use UE4CSharp.prog files to indicate which projects should be included in the solution without having to hard-code a list of them in UBT.
Change 3277263 on 2017/01/30 by Ben.Marsh
IncludeTool: Merging various fixes.
* Fix warnings about #include directives after first code block from parsing monolithic headers.
* Fix exception on startup if the intermediate directory does not already exist.
* Add a special case for ignoring missing header guards from MonolithicHeaderBoilerplate.h, rather than marking it as an inline header. Marking it as inline prevents parsing include directives, which results in including CoreTypes.h from the wrong location.
* Create job objects for spawned compiler instances to prevent them trying allocating more memory than the system can spare.
* Remove (unused) code which makes assumptions about files ending with "Classes.h".
* Add a verbose per-file output log to aid with debugging.
* Negate the MakeStandalone command line option, which was added to allow tweaking forward declarations in already optimized files, so the optimized output does not have missing headers by default.
* Fix missing headers when creating standalone files, due to incorrect list of previous files being passed in to the OutputFile constructor. Now passes the original list of included files, not the output list.
* Fix initial header for a cpp file sometimes being removed. Forcibly including a header at the start of the file does not use the normal pathway for spidering through includes, so a second include of the same file was being generated. Any includes of that header were being forced into output, and the earlier include was then removed due to being redundant.
* Prevent forward declaring enums which have to be parsed by UHT. UHT relies on includes to determine a parse order, and will fail if the enum definition has not been parsed first.
* Use a relative path for private includes in the same module if there are any. Fixes some incorrect paths, and makes it clearer that we're doing something we shouldn't.
Change 3277307 on 2017/01/30 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix private PCHs not using correct header. Causes custom definitions to be excluded from the command line.

MAJOR FEATURES + CHANGES
==========================
Change 3121996 on 2016/09/12 by Ben.Marsh
Add support for Visual Studio 2017 (aka "15"; assuming consistent naming with other versions until final name is announced).
* Compiler, STL implementation and CRT are binary compatible with VS2015 (see https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2016/08/24/c1417-features-and-stl-fixes-in-vs-15-preview-4/), so no new third-party libraries needed so far. WindowsPlatform.GetVisualStudioCompilerVersionName() returns "2015" as a result.
* Default compiler for compiling and generating project files is still VS 2015 for now. Pass -2017 on the command line to GenerateProjectFiles.bat to generate VS2017 projects. Projects generated for VS2017 will use the 2017 compiler by default.
* Visual Studio source code accessor can talk to VS 2017 instances.
* Added a VS2017 configuration for UnrealVS, and added precompiled vsix package.
* Switched GetVSComnTools to check the SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\SxS\VS7 registry key rather than the individual product install registry key. "15" doesn't seem to have it's own "InstallDir" key, but this system seems to work for all versions of Visual Studio (including previous releases of VS Express).
* Removed ATL dependency from VisualStudioSourceCodeAccessor. It's not installed with VS by default any more, and is only used for a couple of smart pointer classes.
Tested running the editor and packaging TP_Flying for Win64. Packaging from the editor still defaults to using the 2015 compiler, so ConfigureToolchain() needs to be overriden from the .target.cs file if multiple Visual Studio versions are installed.
Change 3189363 on 2016/11/07 by Ben.Marsh
Consolidate functionality for determining the path to MSBuild.exe to use for compiling UE4 tools into a single batch file (GetMSBuildToolPath) and fix "Clean" not working on PS4 due to include/library paths being set to something by the Visual Studio environment.
Change 3210598 on 2016/11/27 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Prevent the name of each file compiled being output twice on XboxOne. Compiler already outputs this string; the action doesn't need to.

UGS: Add a warning when syncing latest would remove changes that have been authored locally. Typically happens when working with precompiled binaries.
Change 3211656 on 2016/11/28 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Move ModuleRules and TargetRules into their own file.
Change 3211797 on 2016/11/28 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove utility functions from TargetRules for checking different classes of target types. Moving TargetRules to be data-only.
Change 3211833 on 2016/11/28 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove overridable configuration name from target rules. This feature is not used anywhere.
Change 3211859 on 2016/11/28 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Deprecate the GetGeneratedCodeVersion() callback in favor of a member variable instead.
Change 3211942 on 2016/11/28 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove legacy code which tries to change the output paths for console binaries. Output paths for monolithic binaries are always in the project folder now.
Change 3215333 on 2016/11/30 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Replace the GetSupportedPlatforms() callback on TargetRules with a SupportedPlatforms attribute. Since a TargetRules object can only be instantiated with an actual platform, it doesn't make sense for it to be an instance method.
Change 3215482 on 2016/11/30 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove the GetSupportedConfigurations() callback on the TargetRules class. A configuration is required to construct a TargetRules instance, so it doesn't make sense to need to call an instance method to find out which configurations are supported.
Change 3215743 on 2016/11/30 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Deprecate the TargetRules.ShouldCompileMonolithic() function: this function requires access to the global command line to operate correctly, which prevents creating target-specific instances, and does not use the platform/configuration passed into the TargetRules constructor.
Rather than being a callback, the LinkType field can now be set to TargetLinkType.Modular or TargetLinkType.Monolithic from the constructor as appropriate. The default value (TargetLinkType.Default) results in the default link type for the target type being used. Parsing of the command-line overrides is now done when building the TargetDescriptor.
Change 3215778 on 2016/11/30 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Mark overrides of the TargetRules.GetModulesToPrecompile method as obsolete.
Change 3217681 on 2016/12/01 by Ben.Marsh
UAT: Prevent UE4Build deleting .modules files when running with the -Clean argument; these files are artifacts generated by UBT itself, not by the exported XGE script.
Change 3217723 on 2016/12/01 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Run pre- and post-build steps for all plugins that are being built, not just those that are enabled.
Change 3217930 on 2016/12/01 by Ben.Marsh
UGS: Add a perforce settings window, allowing users to set optional values for tuning Perforce performance on unreliable connections.
Change 3218762 on 2016/12/02 by Ben.Marsh
Enable warnings whenever an undefined macro is used in a constant expression inside an #if or #elif directive, and fix existing violations.
Change 3219161 on 2016/12/02 by Ben.Marsh
Core: Use the directory containing the current module to derive the UE4 base directory, rather than the executable directory. Allows UE4 to be hosted by a process in a different directory.
Change 3219197 on 2016/12/02 by Ben.Marsh
Core: When loading a DLL from disk, convert any relative paths to absolute before calling LoadLibrary. The OS resolves these paths relative to the directory containing the process executable -- not the working directory -- so paths need to be absolute to allow UE4 to be hosted by a process elsewhere.
Change 3219209 on 2016/12/02 by Ben.Marsh
Replace some calls to LoadLibrary() with FPlatformProcess::GetDllHandle(). The UE4 function makes sure that relative paths are resolved relative to the correct base directory, which is important when the host executable is not in Engine/Binaries/Win64.
Change 3219610 on 2016/12/02 by Ben.Marsh
Add the -q (quiet) option to the Mac unzip command, since it's creating too much log output to be useful.
Change 3219731 on 2016/12/02 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Add option to disable IWYU checks regarding the use of monolithic headers (Engine.h, UnrealEd.h, etc...) and including the matching header for a cpp file first. bEnforceIWYU can be set to false in UEBuildConfiguration or on a per-module basis in the module rules.
Change 3220796 on 2016/12/04 by Ben.Marsh

Change 3223817 on 2016/12/06 by Ben.Marsh
Remove non-ANSI characters from source files. Compiler/P4 support is patchy for this, and we want to avoid failing prey to different codepages resulting in different interpretations of the source text.
Change 3224046 on 2016/12/06 by Ben.Marsh
Remove the need for the iOS/TVOS deployment instances to have an IOSPlatformContext instance. The only dependency between the two -- a call to GetRequiredCapabilities() -- is now implemented by querying the INI file for the supported architectures when neeeded.
Change 3224792 on 2016/12/07 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Touch PCH wrapper files whenever the file they include is newer rather than writing the timestamp for the included file into it as a comment. Allows use of ccache and similar tools.
Change 3225212 on 2016/12/07 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Move settings required for deployment into the UEBuildDeployTarget class, allowing them to be serialized to and from a file the intermediate directory without having to construct a phony UEBuildTarget to deploy.
Deployment is now performed by a method on UEBuildPlatform, rather than having to create a UEBuildPlatformContext and using that to create a UEBuildDeploy object.
The -prepfordeploy UBT invocation from UAT, previously done by the per-platform PostBuildTarget() callback when building with XGE, is replaced by running UBT with a path to the serialized UEBuildDeployTarget object, and can be done in a platform agnostic manner.

UBT: Rewritten config file parser. No longer requires hard-coded list of sections to be parsed, but parses them on demand. Measured 2x faster read speeds (largely due to eliminating construction of temporary string objects when parsing each line, to trim whitespace and so on). Also includes an attribute-driven parser, which allows reading named config values for marked up fields in an object.

UAT: Stop UE4Build deriving from CommandUtils. Confusing pattern, and causes problems trying to access instance variables that are only set for build commands.

UAT: Move ParseParam*() functions which use the instanced parameter list from CommandUtils to BuildCommand, since that's the only thing that it's instanced for.
Change 3230804 on 2016/12/12 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Add the IsPromotedBuild flag to Build.version, and only set the bFormalBuild flag in UBT if it's set. This allows UGS users to avoid having to compile separate RC files for each output binary.

UBT: Fix support for the OptimizeCode setting on Mac, HTML5, Android, Linux, iOS, and XboxOne, and use it to control optimization level in DebugGame configurations. Also determine whether optimization should be enabled for a module at the UEBuildModule level, rather than deriving it (inconsistently) from the ModuleRules enum in the toolchain.
#jira UE-18652
Change 3150569 on 2016/10/04 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove the NativeBuildEnvironmentConfiguration and NativeBuildEnvironmentConfiguration.TargetInfo classes; store the platform/configuration/architecture on the CPPEnvironment and LinkEnvironment directly.
Change 3150606 on 2016/10/04 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Remove support for C++/CLR modules. There's quite a lot of baggage to support it, and I suspect it's already rotted since we don't use it.

Change 3152101 on 2016/10/05 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Always force include PCHs, even if they're the first header in the file. Clang already has to work this way, as do shared pchs on Windows, and it's simpler to use the same system universally.

Lightmass: Add a prefix to all SSE macros to distinguish from overlapping implementations in Core.
Change 3156159 on 2016/10/08 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Rewrite code to generate/consume shared PCHs in a way that is compatible with Clang platforms (and which doesn't require supressing warnings on Windows)
* Per-module defines are now set via a generated header rather than the command line (Definitions.<ModuleName>.h). This header is force-included AFTER the shared PCH header.
* Shared PCHs are now built using the public compile environment only, eliminating situations where private include paths and definitions from the first module using the shared PCH were being passed to the compiler.
* Shared PCHs can now be generated in separate optimized/unoptimized variants if necessary due to per-module optimization settings
* Names of shared PCHs now follow the pattern "SharedPCH.<ModuleName>.h" to distinguish from private PCHs
* Enabled shared PCHs for Mac, iOS, Linux.
Reduces UE4Editor Mac build times by ~25% (~21m vs ~28m).
Change 3163040 on 2016/10/14 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Add an option to export a target's properties, modules, and binaries for external analyzers (-jsonexport and -jsonexport=<filename>). Also add an option to specifically supress building a target (-skipbuild).

Build: Remove run conditions from agent setup steps. Should fix issues where an agent doesn't run because the preconditions for one of its nodes failed, but which doesn't prevent another node from running. (Also: being able to see an expanded list of job steps is a useful feature, and it doesn't take much time to run if it's a no-op).
Change 3167773 on 2016/10/19 by Ben.Marsh
BuildGraph: More flexible <Copy> task for BuildGraph. Now takes "From" and "To" attributes, which may take individual files as well as wildcards, and permits renaming as part of copies. Separate "Files" attribute is still supported, but is now optional, and is used to filter the list of source files.
Examples, taken from Engine/Build/Graph/TagsAndFiles.xml:
<!-- Source and destination are treated as directories due to presence of 'Files' attribute -->
<Copy Files="..." From="Engine/Build" To="Output0" />
<!-- Single file -->
<Copy From="Engine/Build/Build.version" To="Output1/Output.version" />
<!-- Output treated as directory -->
<Copy From="Engine/Build/.../*.txt" To="Output2" />
<Copy From="Engine/Build/.../*.txt" To="Output3/" />
<Copy From="Engine/Build/....txt" To="Output4" />
<!-- With rename -->
<Copy From="Engine/Build/....txt" To="Output5/....old" />
<!-- Copy only subdirectories of Engine/Build, but maintain directory structure -->
<Copy From="Engine/Build/*/....txt" To="Output6/" />
<!-- Match bat*/.../*.txt -->
<Copy From="Engine/Build/bat...txt" To="Output7" />
<!-- Copy only PS4 subfolders -->
<Copy From="Engine/Build/.../ps4/..." To="Output8" />
Change 3167852 on 2016/10/19 by Ben.Marsh
BuildGraph: Add a <Move> task, which can move or rename files using the same syntax as the <Copy> task.
Change 3168034 on 2016/10/19 by Ben.Marsh
BuildGraph: Add support for multi-line properties, declared inside a <Property> tag.
Mutli-line properties can be useful for making lists for filtering. Each non-empty line inside the property tag is stripped of leading and trailing whitespace, and appended to the property value separated by a semicolon. For example, the following two properties have an identical value:
<Property Name="Prop1" Value="One;Two;Three;One hundred"/>
<Property Name="Prop2">
<!-- Some numbers -->
One
Two
Three
<!-- Values are delimited by newlines; spaces within a line are preserved -->
One hundred
</Property>
Change 3169256 on 2016/10/20 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Fix chronic algorithmic complexity of StableTopologicalSort(). Was recursively building lists of dependencies for each module, scanning linearly to find dependencies, and only caching pairs of modules being checked. Now caches a flat set of dependencies for each module.
Previously took >10s to run on my machine, now takes < 0.2s.
Change 3169271 on 2016/10/20 by Ben.Marsh
BuildGraph: Modify implementation of task merging. Instead of combining multiple tasks together, allow any task to supply a proxy executor instance deriving from ITaskExecutor, to which other tasks can be added. Keeps the in-memory representation closer to the script representation, and makes it easier to re-export preprocessed scripts and do in-memory analysis of the graph.

BuildGraph: Spawn child processes to embed source server information into PDB files in parallel.
Change 3207588 on 2016/11/22 by Ben.Marsh
UBT: Reduce the number of resource files needed to compile local builds. ModuleVersionResource.rc.inl is now always only compiled once, and linked into each output binary. The default PCLaunch.rc file is also only compiled once, expect when making formal builds (where -formal is passed on the command line, or a changelist is set in Build.version). This ensures that the OriginalFileName metadata is still set for output binaries in binary releases.

Fixed redefinition of __WINDOWS_DS__
Change 3144931 on 2016/09/29 by Ben.Marsh
Core: Changes to search paths for DLL loading.
* The default binaries directory is now added to the list of search paths. Normally LoadLibrary finds these without needing to preload them, but plugins can change the global search paths by calling SetDefaultDllDirectories().
* Only the top entry of the DLL directory stack is searched. There is typically only one directory here anyway, but the intent is more consistent with the operation of SetDllDirectory().
* Resolved import paths are converted to absolute, so the resulting calls to LoadLibrary will not be influenced by calls to SetDefaultDllDirectories() changing the base directory.
* Search paths aren't de-duplicated any more. They don't overlap in practice, and it's not expensive even if they do.
Change 3144932 on 2016/09/29 by Ben.Marsh
Vulkan: Only add vulkan-1.dll as a delay load dependency from the VulkanRHI module, otherwise it can be added to the linker command-line 20 or more times.
Change 3145011 on 2016/09/29 by Ben.Marsh

Made a change to how file check out notifications work. Now the dirty package state is processed at the end of every tick, meaning that packages which are dirtied and then cleaned again are not processed. This fixes an issue where a number of child blueprints were flagged as needing checkout when a parent blueprint was compiled. This also allows multiple packages which are dirtied at the same time to be treated as one transaction.

* Since lower LODs cannot currently have their vertex colors edited, their vertex colors are always derived from LOD0.
* Fixed a bug when building lower LODs so that vertices in neighboring octree nodes are considered when looking for the nearest vertex from LOD0 which corresponds.
* Fixed issue where static meshes with imported LODs would not have the lower LODs' override colors set when "Copy instance vertex colors to source mesh" was used (static meshes with generated LODs were always getting correct override colors).
#jira UE-28563 - Incorrectly displayed LOD VertexColor until paint mode is selected

Automation - Adding several enhancements to the automation framework and improving the UI.
* Tests in the UI now have a link to the source and line where they orginate.
* There's now a general purpose latent lambda command you can use to run arbitrary code latently.
* Added Inlined AddCommand for regular and networked commands to the base automation class, to avoid the use of the macro, which prevents breakpoints from working in lambda code.
* Front end now has better column displays offering more room to the test name
* Changed several events to the automation controller to multicast delegates so that many could hook them.
* The UI now refreshes the selection after tests finish so that the output log updates.
Change 2939908 on 2016/04/11 by Nick.Darnell
Automation - The editor import/export tests are now a complex test and actually sperate out all the tests that can be run, some trickiness was required on the filenames so that they didn't expand into more child tests in the UI. (replacing .'s with _'s)
Change 2940028 on 2016/04/11 by Nick.Darnell
Automation - Removing the search box from the toolbar. It's now inlined above the test tree. Tweaking the padding to make it look more other windows and make everything not look so squished. Recursive expansion now works on tests.
Change 2940066 on 2016/04/11 by Nick.Darnell
Automation - Moving the filter group dropdown out of the toolbar and onto the line with the search box above the treeview - additional tweaks to it.

Fixed issue where entering PIE while selecting an actor in Mesh Paint mode could lead to a MeshPaintStaticMeshAdapter holding onto an invalid pointer to an old mesh component, and causing a crash upon leaving the mode. This can happen because, when loading a new streaming level, the proxy actor can be selected when starting PIE, which will subsequently be added to the tool's internal lists. This needs to be added as a GC reference so that it can be NULLed when forcibly destroyed.

Editor: Deprecated FName UEdGraphNode::GetPaletteIcon(FLinearColor&); in favor of FSlateIcon UEdGraphNode::GetIconAndTint(FLinearColor&); to allow for icons in external style sets to be used.
- Previously, all icons were assumed to reside within FEditorStyle, which is not the case and would create broken icons in the graph editor. All relevant code has been updated to use FSlateIcon structures instead of a simple name.
- This change required a significant overhaul to FClassIconFinder to support FSlateIcons. To keep the API clean, FSlateIconFinder now deals with FSlateIcon class icon finding operations, and FClassIconFinder for the most part just adds actor specific logic.

[Engine Loop Change] UEngine now defines a Start() function, that subclasses can use to start game related things after initialization of the engine. This is done so that after the Init() call on UEngine, we can then perform a module load for the ELoadingPhase::PostEngineInit phase of loading, then inform the UEngine that it's time to start the game. Therefore, UGameEngine now tells the GameInstance to Start during this phase now.

This also adds FConfigFile::GenerateExportedPropertyLine to generate the INI key->value lines in a consistent and correctly escaped way, and makes sure that everything that writes out lines to a config file uses it.

* When running with -module arguments for a monolithic target, UBT will no longer try to relink the executable in source builds (so it's possible to compile plugin libs outside of an installed engine build without having already built UE4Game).
* When packaging, a temporary host project is always generated in the output directory to avoid invalidating intermediates in the source directory.
* An empty Config\FilterPlugin.ini file is written out with instructions on how to list additional files to package if it is not already present.

Exposed FConfigValue::ExpandValue and added FConfigValue::CollapseValue
These are both static and can be used to expand or collapse the macros used in our config files (mostly when dealing with paths), in code that has to deal with the config system, but isn't internal to the config system (mostly things that deal with default configs outside of UObjects).
The old non-static version of FConfigValue::ExpandValue is now FConfigValue::ExpandValueInternal, which just calls FConfigValue::ExpandValue on SavedValue and ExpandedValue.
This also changes some code that was using FString.Replace to use FString.ReplaceInline. This reduces allocations, and also allows us to avoid another string comparison to see whether the strings are identical (as ReplaceInline returns the number of replacements that were made).

- Change texture streaming system to correctly account for placed textures. Also fix texture sizes so they accurately represent the real size of the allocation the GPU.
- Disable API shader blobs
- Add the ability to easily change allocation stategy for a given pool, also add a simple linear allocator and a 'Multi-Buddy Allocator' for efficiency in different scenarios
- Pool Fences to prevent creation and destruction every frame when using Async Compute
- Implement _RenderThread versions of CreateShaderResourceView and CreateUnorderedAccessView

UE4.11 - Integration from 2876173
#jira UE-24967
PC: Update D3D12 RHI
- Fix ResizeBuffers() failing due to dangling references to the backbuffer if deferred deletion is used.
- Reorder when pending FRHIResources are deleted. This still needs to flush all pending deletes and ignore the deferred deletion queue otherwise some items may still be left in the engine's queue.
- Fix UT build error due to missing FPlatformMisc::GetGPUDriverInfo()

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.

[CL 2790002 by Ben Marsh in Main branch]
GUBP High Level
* Temp Storage is zipped into a single archive per node now. This results in ~75% reduction in temp storage usage and network traffic, not to mention the per-file overhead.
* Temp Storage is in P:\\Builds\\{Game}\\TmpStore instead of P:\\Builds\\{Game}\\GUBP (to facilitate easier cleaning of this new structure).
* Temp Storage nodes are in subdirectories of {Branch}\\{CL}\\{NodeName} now instead of a flat directory structure that was hard to manually sift through.
GUBP Mid Level
* Removed -Store= and -StoreSuffix= test parameters.
* Added -NoZipTempStorage parameter to turn off temp storage zipping if necessary.
* Created GUBP.JobInfo class that collects info about the job as a whole to be passed around by GUBP. Mostly used by any code that need to interact with TempStorage.
* Created TempStorageNodeInfo that describes the necessary parameters to find the temp storage location for a node.
* Fully XML commented TempStorage.cs, and commented internals all major functions.
* Added a bunch of telemetry data for storing, retrieving, and cleaning shared temp storage.
UAT Mid Level
* Fixed a bug in Ionic.Zip that make ExtractAll() not work on Mono, checked in new DLLs.
* Added UAT parameter -UseLocalBuildStorage that allows you to test build storage stuff completely locally. Writes to Engine\\Saved\\LocalBuilds\\...
GUBP Low Level
* Refactored some GUBP startup code so temp vars would be limited in scope. Makes it easier to track the impact of refactoring these things.
* CullNodesForPreflight is only called for preflight builds.
* Refactored TempStorage.FindTempStorageManifests to use new TmpStore structure and harden the brittle string/path parsing it was doing. See the new TempStorage FindMatchingSharedTempStorageNodeCLs().
* Refactored TempStorage Saving and Loading to use XDocument instead of older XmlDocument. Removed a bunch of redundant checks.
* Use StripBaseDirectory and MakeRerootedFilePath to remove the brittle directory manipulation code. Directories no longer require a '/' at the end.
* Removed a few redundant caching layers in cleaning temp storage that try to ensure we don't clean a folder twice. None of them were necessary.
* Removed unused single-threaded copy code from temp storage.
* Updated Temp Storage unit test, and fully commented the logic behind it.
UAT Low Level
* UAT top level exception handler is now a single log line now to help parsers find the error.
* Removed several uses of FormatException as it doesn't display the entire exception chain, and is not as good as the default exception formatter.
* Removed ExceptionToString as it used FormatException, which was not a good precedent.
* Fixed several cases of exception propagation that was not properly chaining the inner exception.
* Refactored ThreadedCopyFiles to use Parallel.For because it was just as fast (if not faster) and much simpler to maintain.
* Removed the suffix from Robust_FileExists_NoExceptions because it's sole purpose in life WAS to throw exceptions!
* Added a bunch of XML doc comments to CommandUtils.
* Modernized some container manipulation and iteration to use IEnumerable and extension methods more appropriately.
* Added several @todos for other minor cleanup stuff that should happen eventually.
* Fixed some uses of String.Compare to use invariant culture.
