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.

In the 3.4 branch we bumped the DB version past the version used for disabling links in trunk, preventing it from running. In the future, we must avoid increasing branch DB version bumps to HEAD.

Turn off multi selection uploads for mobile devices. Currently Plupload cannot upload multiple files in iOS Safari. Only the first file makes it to the queue.

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.

* Have wp_get_image_editor() rather than WP_Image_Editor::get_instance(). Having static factory methods would be less confusing if there weren't also static methods tied to individual editor implementations.
* Lazy-load the WP_Image_Editor base class and editor implementations.
* Have WP_Image_Editor_GD::supports_mime_type() actually check which types it supports.
* Deprecate gd_edit_image_support() in favor of wp_image_editor_supports().
