MAJOR FEATURES + CHANGES
==========================

Change 3006483 on 2016/06/08 by Simon.Tovey

	Fix for UE-31653
	Instance params from the Spawn, Required and TypeData modules were not being autopopulated.

Change 3006514 on 2016/06/08 by Zabir.Hoque

	MIGRATING FIX @ Request

	Off by 1 error on reflection roughness calculation affecting 4.12. When I hoisted the max mip index i did a -1 on both sides(c++ & hlsl). This is the simplest hotfix. In 4.13 I'll remove the shader instruction and only do the "-1" in c++ this 1 less shader instruction.

Change 3009028 on 2016/06/10 by Daniel.Wright

	Shadow depth refactor
	* Shadow setup and render target allocation now happens in InitViews, and shadow depth rendering happens at one spot in the frame
	* This provides control over where shadow depths are rendered for things like async compute, and allows easy atlasing of shadowmaps for forward shading
	* The 33Mb of shadow depth buffers in FSceneRenderTargets has been removed, and shadow depth buffers are now allocated as needed
	* A large amount of duplicated code to handle each shadow type has been combined
	* Cleaner parallel rendering: no more view hacking for the shadow depth pass, no more shadow depths in the middle of translucency
	* 'vis ShadowDepthAtlas' or 'vis WholeSceneShadowMap' must now be used to visualize the shadow depth textures

Change 3013736 on 2016/06/14 by Daniel.Wright

	Cached shadowmaps for whole scene point and spot light shadows
	* Controlled by 'r.Shadow.CacheWholeSceneShadows', defaults to enabled (7ms -> 1.5ms of shadow depths on Titan for ~20 lights)
	* Primitives with Static or Stationary mobility have their depths cached, as long as the light is not moving
	* Primitives with Movable mobility or using World Position Offset in their materials will not have their depths cached
	* Cached shadowmaps are copied each frame and then movable primitive depths composited
	* Fast paths exist for when there were no static primitives (skip cached shadowmap) or movable primitives (project directly from cached shadowmap)
	* 'r.Shadow.CacheWPOPrimitives' controls whether materials using WPO can be cached (default is off for correctness)
	* 'r.Shadow.CachedShadowsCastFromMovablePrimitives' can be used to force off all support for movable primitives, skipping the shadowmap copies (1.5ms -> 0ms of shadow depths for ~20 lights)

Change 3019674 on 2016/06/20 by Simon.Tovey

	Ripped out the quick hacky VM debugger I wrote a while back.
	Over complicated the VM and didn't do enough work to justify it.
	Will revisit debugging and profiling of VM scripts in future.

Change 3019691 on 2016/06/20 by Ben.Woodhouse

	Add a per-object shadow setting for directional lights (r.Shadow.PerObjectDirectionalDepthBias), which is independent of the CSM setting. Often a smaller bias is desirable on per-object shadows, where detailed self-shadowing is needed.

	This change also makes the CSM naming consistent with what the setting actually does (the old setting was named r.shadow.csm, although it affects per-object shadows as well as CSMs).

todo:
* store last folder[s] in registry
* xml in ref folder 
* documentation (hookup help and about)
* summary line in UI
* ref folder is read only
* Generate Report without Thumbnails to Clipboard
* remove leading \ from folder name
* Report: Sort bad ones up? Summary
* FileSystemWatcher should update only the file that has changed (when running the test and watching it will be more efficient)
* command line args, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.filesystemwatcher(v=vs.110).aspx
* better error handling e.g. if cannot load png
* send out email (requires IT or running on Server where we allow SMTP)
* comparison can happen in a thread
* move out of DoNotDistribute
* Diff downsample should be conservative, not point sampling (any difference in a pixel should be always highlighted - no matte what scale)

later todo:
* test zoom and pan with wacom
* nicer folder open dialog

---------------------------------------------------



features:
* C# application
* allows comparison of png color (no alpha) images in two specified folders (all 3 shown at the same time)
* comparison is based on pixel difference (current metric: max(abs(delta_r), abs(delta_g), abs(delta_b)) )
* scalable dialog
* click on column allows sorting
* changes to the folder automatically triggers folder processing again (can be improved to nly do the chanaged files)
* ...

future:
* command line processing to run with automated build server
* multithreading for better user interacation (not an issue with reasonable image sizes)
* Save folder settings to a file, accept reference button (interop with Perforce)
* Zoom in, Pan
* Other comparison metrics / visualization
* Summary control / progress bar
* Nicer Application Icon
