Always open Visual Studio or Xcode for newly-created code projects
- Also, fixed a minor bug with text in the New Project Wizard (UE-8859)
[CL 2435555 by Matthew Griffin in Main branch]
Added a way to use DTE to add new files directly into VS without having to generate projects
This avoids the annoying "Do you want to reload?" dialog that appears in VS when projects are externally changed, and also saves us the cost/time of having to run UBT to generate projects.

New Project Wizard UI text clean-up
- Switched to rich text and use a bold highlight on some words instead of brackets

Improvements to naming of newly-created C++ and BP components through SCS tree
- Strip off "_C" suffix on newly created Blueprint classes
- Don't strip "Component" from Blueprint class names unless it is the suffix
- Changed prefix for newly-created C++ components from "My" to "New"
- New Blueprint components default to the name of the class unless they are Blueprints of UActorComponent, in which case the name is just "NewComponent"
- New C++ components default to the name of the class unless they inherit from UActorComponent, in which case the name is just "NewComponent"

Fix regression with Class Wizard-generated source files not compiling sometimes
- Now, only AActor, USceneComponent and UActorComponent get "special" generated source
- FObjectInitializer constructors are no longer used in code generated for these classes

UE-7891 Remove 'feature pack' icons, and change text to explain that any template features can be added later.

Added an experimental method to add a new C++ class derived from ActorComponent to an actor. The purpose of this is to add scripting support directly on an actor without subclassing the actor.

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]
After adding a new class, we now always open the IDE to edit source if the hot reload completed successfully
- Also, we display a quick pop-up notification indicating success instead of a modal prompt
[CL 2419701 by Ben Marsh in Main branch]
Allow C++ class template source files to have cursor location markup (not just header files)
- This feature is not currently used but will be in the future

New C++ code templates for Actor and ActorComponents
- When using "Add C++ Code" in the editor, you'll now get nice starter classes for common class types
- Classes that inherit from Actor will get a constructor, BeginPlay, and Tick (and will tick by default)
- Classes inheriting from ActorComponent will get a constructor, InitializeComponent and TickComponent (and will tick by default)
More improvements coming soon...

UE-7184 - Show game c++ classes and engine c++ classes in the content browser
The Content Browser now has extra entries for "Game C++ Classes" and "Engine C++ Classes" (with "Game" and "Engine" being renamed to "Game Content" and "Engine Content" respectively). These new folders serve as hosts for the list of available C++ modules, with each module internally mirroring the folder structure on disk.
For example:
- Game C++ Classes
- ShooterGame
- Classes
- Bots
- ShooterBot
- ShooterAIController
- [...]
- [...]
The Content Browser allows you to navigate and search these classes like you can with assets, and provides convenient access to either edit an existing class, or create a new class (either within a selected folder, or derived from a selected class).
As the Content Browser only shows you known UClass types, any new classes need to be compiled into a loaded module before they will appear. This means that adding a new class will now automatically hot-reload your target module. Should you prefer to handle building and loading your modules manually, you can disable the automatic hot-reload via "Editor Settings" -> "Miscellaneous" -> "Hot Reload" -> "Automatically Hot Reload New Classes" (see UEditorUserSettings::bAutomaticallyHotReloadNewClasses).

- Added IDesktopPlatform::GetUserTempPath() and implemented it for windows
- Created SGetSuggestedIDEWidget class that handles whether to show a "Download X" hyperlink vs. an "Install X" button (depending on whether the platform supports on-demand installation)
- Analytics event added ("Editor.Usage.InstalledIDE") that fires whenever the "Install X" button is clicked
- Changed SourceCodeIDEURL_Windows in BaseEditor.ini from the VSC 2013 web page link to the installer download link (need to replace with perma-link once we have it)

Also added code to display an icon on templates that have an equivalent feature pack.
Revised new project text to indicated what the icon is for.

* 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.

UETOOL-213 - Minimize Slate FString -> FText conversion (remove SLATE_TEXT_ATTRIBUTE)
This fixes any editor/engine specific code that was passing text to Slate as FString rather than FText.
