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.

* Adds `wp.media.view.Sidebar`, to aid in rendering the sidebar.
* Removes the `directions` from the `Attachments` view and shifts search into a separate view (`wp.mce.view.Search`) that can be relocated at will. This also serves to simplify the `Attachments` view by removing the nested `list` and `$list` parameters.
* Show the toolbar on the featured image workflow, effectively requiring confirmation before closing the dialog.

Revises the concept of the media controller and workspace views (i.e. two central points of control) to be more granular. The main media object is now the `Frame`, which is a hybrid view and state machine.
The state machine is a collection of states, which are just generic instances of `Backbone.Model`. This circumvents the problem of juggling global parameters when changing states. Each state contains its own event loop. All events are also forwarded to the frame itself (as is the case in all model/collection relationships).
The frame view contains several regions, each of which can be overridden without harming or re-rendering the other regions. These work well when used in conjunction with the state machine events.
This removes the upload sidebar (don't worry, visible upload UI will return). Drag and drop uploading still works. The ability to upload has been abstracted into its own view (instead of being attached to the central workspace view).
Editing galleries is temporarily broken — the gallery creation and editing experiences will be unified in a future patch.
Adds events to detect dragging changes in `wp.Uploader` and adds methods to detect and leverage browser support for CSS3 transitions.

Adds the ability to set the values used to instantiate both the Workflow's library and selection.
Renames the Workflows internal `_pending` variable to prevent conflicts with a similarly named internal `Backbone.Model` variable.

* 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.

Using the new buttons:
* Button classes are now stackable.
* All buttons should use a base class of "button".
* Buttons default to the gray style (formerly "button-secondary"). Buttons can add a style by adding additional classes. To make a primary button, add the "button-primary" class.
* Buttons can be rendered in various sizes. In addition to the default size, you can add "button-large", "button-small", or "button-tiny".
For backwards compatibility reasons, "button-primary" and "button-secondary" both work as standalone classes.
get_submit_button() has been adjusted to handle shorthand button classes (i.e. button classes can be passed without the "button-" prefix).

Updates the featured image when the publish/update button is clicked (rather than instantly). Uses the existing post_thumbnail_meta_box() function. Does not remove the old featured image meta box JS, ajax handler, or CSS.

Add tabindex="-1" for the menu images links to avoid double tab stops there when the menu is expanded.
Fix/add auto-focus on the first input fields on the Add/Edit Post, all taxonomy, all edit taxonomy, Log In and Edit Comment screens.
