We tried in vain -- a noble but ultimately failed effort -- to reduce the number of fields for attachments from four (title, caption, alt, description) to one (caption for images, title otherwise). Alternative text needed to stay for accessibility reasons, of course.
Eventually title returned due to heavy plugin reliance. Description is too used by too many plugins (often times incorrectly -- the caption is more likely the proper field), hence its less-than-triumphant return today.
Version 3.5 has tried to streamline media in a number of ways. Removing fields may have been too much at once, as it forced not only a user interface change, but a paradigm change as well.
Finally, on upload we populate the description field with IPTC/EXIF captions, rather than the caption field. See #22768, this should be fixed. For now, Description stays.
This commit also restores 'Title' attribute editing to the main tab of the Edit Image dialog. The "Title" field no longer populates title attributes for <img> tags by design (for accessibility and other purposes, see #18984). So, here is a more obvious 'workaround' for the tooltip community.
Finally, this:
* Cleans up the post.php attachment editor, including by showing a prettier form of the mime type.
* Enables plugins to specifically hide attachment_fields_to_edit from either post.php (where you can create meta boxes) or the modal (which you may not want to clutter), for compatibility reasons.
* Hides the 'Describe this file...' placeholder when a field is read-only in the modal.

Most users don't realize that the Featured Image meta box exists; if they do, few use it.
Restores the old meta box UI, including the admin_post_thumbnail_html filter. If a plugin is using _wp_post_thumbnail_html() in conjunction with Thickbox elsewhere, it will also magically still work.
Specific underlying changes:
* Converts the modal view to use the view manager, which means that a call to open() will automatically call render and attach if necessary.
* Doesn't automatically set a state in wp.media, to allow code to customize the states to be added before activation.

The difference is the content type: application/json (which jQuery deserializes automatically for us) and the default text/html.
jQuery correctly handles application/json requests for IE, so we can continue to use the wp_send_json_* handlers elsewhere. Plupload rolls its own requests and does not handle application/json correctly. So, keep the standard text/html content type on upload-attachment.

We are de-emphasising attaching (see [22630]) but this is existing
core functionality and will remain for now. This commit just cleans
it up a bit so as to be less embarrassing.

* Adds a `describe` option to the workflow controller to support inline caption editing.
* For images, descriptions are mapped to the `caption` attribute.
* For other media items, descriptions are mapped to the `title` attribute.
* Descriptions are saved when the textarea's `change` event fires (i.e. when the textarea is blurred).

'''Galleries'''
* Gallery insertion from the new media modal (into TinyMCE, the text editor, etc).
* Gallery previews in TinyMCE now use the `wp.mce.views` API.
* Disables the TinyMCE `wpgallery` plugin.
* Gallery previews consist of the first image of the gallery and the appearance of a stack. This will later be fleshed out to include more images/functionality (including editing the gallery, gallery properties, and showing the number of images in the gallery).
* Multiple galleries can be added to a single post.
* The gallery MCE view provides a bridge between the `wp.shortcode` and `Attachments` representation of a gallery, which allows the existing collection to persist when a gallery is initially created (preventing a request to the server for the query).
'''Shortcodes'''
* Renames `wp.shortcode.Match` to `wp.shortcode` to better expose the shortcode constructor.
* The `wp.shortcode` constructor now accepts an object of options instead of a `wp.shortcode.regexp()` match.
* A `wp.shortcode` instance can be created from a `wp.shortcode.regexp()` match by calling `wp.shortcode.fromMatch( match )`.
* Adds `wp.shortcode.string()`, which takes a set of shortcode parameters and converts them into a string.* Renames `wp.shortcode.prototype.text()` to `wp.shortcode.prototype.string()`.
* Adds an additional capture group to `wp.shortcode.regexp()` that records whether or not the shortcode has a closing tag. This allows us to improve the accuracy of the syntax used when transforming a shortcode object back into a string.
'''Media Models'''
* Prevents media `Query` models from observing the central `Attachments.all` object when query args without corresponding filters are set (otherwise, queries quickly amass false positives).
* Adds `post__in`, `post__not_in`, and `post_parent` as acceptable JS attachment `Query` args.
* `Attachments.more()` always returns a `$.promise` object.

Moves the uploading Attachments queue from the media workspace view to the uploader itself. This ensures that all attachments are added to the central attachmnet store.
Updates wp.Uploader to pass Attachment models to callbacks instead of Plupload file objects. Attachments in the process of uploading have a reference to the file object (which can be fetched by calling `attachment.get('file');`).
Also updates the customizer to be compatible with the API changes.

* Removes all instances of site-search, so away it goes. Sidesteps a number of bugs with site-search.
* Renames user-search to user-suggest, which means it better describes the current behavior (autocompletion) while allowing for future behavior (instant search).
* Ties user suggestions to a single .wp-suggest-user class.

Instead of grouping together every control parameter into a single array and passing them all to the JS, use subclasses with custom parameters to implement additional PHP functionality and the parameter to send only the necessary variables to the JavaScript control.
Replaces WP_Customize_Control->control_params with WP_Customize_Control->json and WP_Customize_Control->to_json(). The to_json() method refreshes the json array passed to the JavaScript control (set to control.param by default).
Creates WP_Customize_Upload_Control and WP_Customize_Image_Control.

wp.Uploader is a wrapper that provides a simple way to upload an attachment (using the wp_ajax_upload_attachment handler). It is intentionally decoupled from the UI. When an upload succeeds, it will receive the attachment information (id, url, meta, etc) as a JSON response. If the upload fails, the wrapper handles both WordPress and plupload errors through a single handler.
As todos, we should add drag classes for the uploader dropzone and account for the rough 100mb filesize limit in most browsers. The UI for the customizer upload controls could be improved as well.
