These methods shouldn't have been public since they are specific to the chart controller internal logic. Note that this scale custom merging will be removed in v3.
When the chart is responsive to the parent container, the calculations for padding assumes that the figure is in pixels so that 20% is taken to be 20 (pixels), which results in the chart exceeding the parent container. This appears to be an IE11 only issue.
* Bugfix: Improve polyfill function of log10 to return whole powers of 10
as integer values, as it caused endless loop in IE11 in the tick
creation loop.
* Compare floating-point numbers directly instead of using unnecessary division.
Fix Rollup issue caused by early access of the `extend` and `inherits` helpers not yet part of the `helpers/index` import. Also added (basic) unit tests for whose methods.
Add a new `offset` option to scales to add extra space at edges and remove the `includeOffset` argument from `getPixelForValue()` and `getPixelForTick()`. The bar controller now automatically calculates the bar width to avoid overlaps. When `offsetGridLines` is true, grid lines move to the left by one half of the tick interval, and labels don't move.
The title plugin and scale title now accept lineHeight specified using unitless value (1.4), length ('1.4em' or '12px'), percentage ('200%') or keyword ('normal' === 1.2). The line height parsing has been refactored under the 'Chart.helpers.options' namespace. Also fix incorrect text positioning in the title plugin.

The `clone` method now accepts any type of input but also recursively perform a deep copy of the array items. Rewrite the `configMerge` and `scaleMerge` helpers which now rely on a new generic and customizable `merge` method, that one accepts a target object in which multiple sources are deep copied. Note that the target (first argument) is not cloned and will be modified after calling `merge(target, sources)`. Add a `mergeIf` helper which merge the source properties only if they do not exist in the target object.
Move some of the "core" and "canvas" utils in `helpers.core.js` and `helpers.canvas.js` and introduce the new `isNullOrUndef` and `isObject` helpers. Deprecate `indexOf` and rename `drawRoundedRectangle` to `roundedRect` which now creates a simple `rect` path if radius is 0. Write missing unit tests for the moved helpers.
`karma.conf.ci.js` has been merged into `karma.conf.js` for local testing consistency: `gulp unittestWatch` has been replaced by `gulp unittest --watch` and thus use exactly the same config file. Upgrade to latest jasmine and karma packages and remove deprecated `gulp-karma` dependency (directly use `karma.Server` in gulp).
Split `test/mockContext.js` into smaller `test/jasmine.*` modules to make easier unit tests maintenance and finally, move all `*.test.js` files under the `test/specs` folder.
