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.

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.
Empty wp on unload to work around caching in iOS Safari.

In media-new.php, use post_id from REQUEST if passed and the current user can edit the post.
Fixes adding media with the browser uploader.

* 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().

This is bolted on to existing code, the vast majority of which is destined to be ripped out in 3.6 once things settle.

* Use a less specific selector (the body, actually) to delegate opening the media dialog.
* Allow the editor ID to be the empty string so the `media_buttons` action can be called without arguments.
see #22284, #21390.

* Adds `createIframeStates()` to the `MediaFrame` view. It creates states and bindings for the `media_upload_tabs` output, and is included on `MediaFrame.Post` by default.
* Hijacks `tb_remove()` when the media modal is open to ensure the modal closes correctly.
* Adds a `chromeless` parameter to thickbox media tab URLs to render the UI without the old row of tabs.

* Adds the code required to include the new media scripts, styles, and settings to `media_button()`.
* Improves script dependencies, namely making `media-upload` require `media-views`.
* Some CSS tweaks for the making the new button work well with QuickPress.

Add a "Beta Media" button to the post editor. Currently, it is only capable of inserting images. Other attachment types and galleries need not apply... yet.
* Added `wp.media.string.image( attachment, props )` for generating an image as a string from an attachment and relevant attachment display properties.
* Properly localized the gallery workflow.
* Added `Workflow.update()`, which closes the modal, triggers an `update` event, and resets the selection.
* Added `wp.mce.media` to manage the various media workflows for editors.
see #21813, #21814, #21390.

* Attachments now go through post.php, edit_post(), the like, and have show_ui set to true.
* Taxonomies attached to the media library now appear in the admin menu (if show_ui).
* Editing, cropping, uploading, etc. is still very rough, but mostly functional.
API-wise:
* New function: get_taxonomies_for_attachments(). Like get_taxonomies(), for taxonomies specifically registered against attachments.
* Brings taxonomy support from the posts list table to the media list table. Expect them to converge soon.
* wp_insert_attachment() now handles taxonomies like wp_insert_post(). Also expect them to converge soon.
* New edit_form_after_title hook.
