// This file defines constants used for versioning packages, modules, and various subsystems in UE4. In general, it should not be necessary to include this
// file and access these values directly - they are all wrapped behind the higher-level abstractions in FEngineVersion and the FApp class.
//
// The following concepts are used for versioning in UE4:
//
// - The *engine version* defines the explicit major/minor/patch version of the engine, plus the changelist and branch name that it was built from. The
// changelist is assumed to be a monotonically increasing number in the current branch, and is used both as a unique identifier and to infer that one engine
// was later than another. Tagged property serialization in UE4 is tolerant to properties being added or removed, so we always want to prevent an older
// build of the engine loading assets created with a newer build, discarding properties which have recently been added, and silently losing data
// when the asset is saved out. The changelist allows ordering versions in such cases. The engine version is encapsulated by the FEngineVersion class, of
// which there are two commonly referenced instances:
//
// FEngineVersion::Current() normally uses ENGINE_CURRENT_CL_VERSION for the changelist component, and indicates the code the engine was built
// from. This is typically only used for diagnostic and display purposes.
//
// FEngineVersion::CompatibleWith() normally uses ENGINE_COMPATIBLE_CL_VERSION for the changelist component and '0' for the patch component, and
// indicates the baseline version of the engine that this build maintains strict binary compatibility with.
// By default, this compatibility extends to assets, executable modules, and any network data transmitted between
// two builds, and is used when creating patches and hotfixes that can be used interchangably with another build.
// This should be used for versioning in the majority of cases in the engine.
//
// Both the ENGINE_CURRENT_CL_VERSION and ENGINE_COMPATIBLE_CL_VERSION macros can be updated systemically by build systems using the UpdateLocalVersion
// AutomationTool command (as well as the ENGINE_IS_LICENSEE_VERSION and BRANCH_NAME macros).
//
// - The *object version* (aka serialization version) is as a monotonically incrementing (but manually updated) integer, and is used to write one-way
// upgrade code in custom UObject serialization functions. It is set by the enum in ObjectVersion.h, and is global to the whole engine. This version number
// is saved as a raw integer value in package headers, so it cannot be safely reordered or merged between branches. It should ONLY be updated
// by Epic, otherwise future engine merges may corrupt content.
//
// - The *licensee object version* is provided for licensees to create their own one-way upgrade paths akin to the regular object version. Epic will never
// add entries to this enumeration. It is defined by the enum in ObjectVersion.h
//
// - Any number of *custom object version* objects may be registered to create orthoganal incrementing version numbers similar to the object version and
// licensee version enums (see FCustomVersion). Each one is registered with a GUID, ensuring uniqueness and allowing the FArchive to quickly store and
// retrieve them without any context of what they represent. Custom versions may be created for individual projects, subsystems, or branches.
//
// - The *build version* is an opaque string specific to the product being built, and should be used for identifying the current application
// (as opposed to distinct applications built with the same engine version). It is set by the BUILD_VERSION macro, which can be updated using the
// UpdateLocalVersion AutomationTool command.
//
// - The *network version* and *replay version* are used for versioning the network and replay subsystems, and default to the compatible engine version.
//
// - The *engine association* in a .uproject file often takes the appearance of a version number for launcher-installed binary UE4 releases, but may be
// other identifiers as well. See ProjectDescriptor.h for a description of how this technique works.
//
// Constants in this file are updated by AutomationTool and UnrealGameSync. Be careful when changing formatting for the submitted version of this file that
// these tools can still parse it.
//=============================================================================================================================================================
// These numbers define the banner UE4 version, and are the most significant numbers when ordering two engine versions (that is, a 4.12.* version is always
// newer than a 4.11.* version, regardless of the changelist that it was built with)
#define ENGINE_MAJOR_VERSION 4
#define ENGINE_MINOR_VERSION 17
#define ENGINE_PATCH_VERSION 0
// If set to 1, indicates that this is a licensee build of the engine. For the same major/minor/patch release of the engine, licensee changelists are always
// considered newer than Epic changelists for engine versions. This follows the assumption that content is developed by Epic leading up to a release, and which
// point we lock compatibility, and any subsequent licensee modifications to the engine will have a superset of its functionality even if the changelist
// numbers are lower.
#define ENGINE_IS_LICENSEE_VERSION 0
// The Perforce changelist being compiled. Use this value advisedly; it does not take into account out-of-order commits to engine release branches over
// development branches, licensee versions, or whether the engine version has been locked to maintain compatibility with a previous engine release. Prefer
// BUILD_VERSION where a unique, product-specific identifier is required, or FEngineVersion::CompatibleWith() where relational comparisons between two
// versions is required.
#define BUILT_FROM_CHANGELIST 0
// Whether this build is "promoted"; that is, compiled by a build machine (rather than locally) and distributed in binary form. This disables certain features in
// the engine relating to building locally (because they require intermediate files to be available), such as the hot-reload functionality in the editor.
// UnrealGameSync explicitly sets this to zero for local builds.
#define ENGINE_IS_PROMOTED_BUILD (BUILT_FROM_CHANGELIST > 0)
// The changelist version of the engine. By including a monotonically increasing number in the engine version (and saving it into packages as FEngineVersion),
// we can prevent newer packages with the same major/minor engine version from being loaded with an older revision of the engine.
#define ENGINE_CURRENT_CL_VERSION BUILT_FROM_CHANGELIST
// The compatible changelist version of the engine. This number identifies a particular API revision, and is used to determine module and package backwards
// compatibility. Hotfixes should retain the compatible version of the original release. This define is parsed by the build tools, and should be a number or
// BUILT_FROM_CHANGELIST, defined in this particular order for each alternative.
