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.

`ticks.source` (`'auto'`(default)|`'labels'`): `auto` generates "optimal" ticks based on min, max and a few more options (current `time` implementation`). `labels` generates ticks from the user given `data.labels` values (two additional trailing and leading ticks can be added if min and max are provided).
`ticks.mode` (`'linear'`(default)|`series`): `series` displays ticks at the same distance from each other, whatever the time value they represent, while `linear` displays them linearly in time: the distance between each tick represent the amount of time between their time values.
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.
Raise the cyclomatic complexity to 10 which seems to better match the project coding style and still reasonable (6 being quite low). Also move unit tests specific eslint rules in the cascaded `./test/.eslintrc` file (previously in `gulp.js`).
Deprecate `addEvent` and `removeEvent`, and move implementation in `platform.dom.js`. Add 'options' feature detection to register event listeners as passive and prevent warning in Chrome.
For consistency with `valueOrDefault`, `valueAtIndexOrDefault` now returns null if `value` (expected array) is null. Also get rid of the superfluous `get` prefix in `getValueOrDefault` and `getValueAtIndexOrDefault`.
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.
See discussion in the issue for context and possible approaches.
When invoking update() inside an event handler, such as onHover,
`options.hover.animationDuration` was not being respected. Given that
some use cases may require additional animation properties for the
manual update call, this commit changes that method signature to accept
a configuration object.
This object provides backwards compatibility with duration and lazy
properties, and also introduces the easing property so that the event
animation is different from the global one.
Add tests that guarantee that when update is called manually with
arguments, it properly builds the _bufferedRequest or calls render with
the proper arguments.
It includes test cases for when update is called with legacy arguments
(duration and lazy) instead of the config object.
.update() documentation was previously updated but .render() was left
out. Since the backwards compatible change was also made to render(),
this commit adds documentation for it.
Implemented alignment by major unit in the time scale. This allows showing the first tick of a larger unit like days in a special way and is part of the basis of the time series scale.
`instanceof HTMLCanvasElement/CanvasRenderingContext2D` fails when the item is inside an iframe or when running in a protected environment. We could guess the types from their toString() value but let's keep things flexible and assume it's a sufficient condition if the item has a context2D which has item as `canvas`.
* Adds step-after functionality, true defaults to step-before
* Update stepped line sample to include all variations of steppedLine configurations
* Update documentation on steppedLine values
* Add tests for new steppedLine values 'before' and 'after'
* Fixed different calculation of scale min and max when dataset contains no values
* Removed trailing spaces
* Added test for correct min/max calculation
* Removed trailing spaces
Merge most of the horizontalBar controller into the bar one but also fix stack groups and bar positioning when scales are stacked or when a min and/or max tick values are explicitly defined. Note that this is a breaking change for derived controllers that rely on the following removed methods: `calculateBarBase`, `calculateBarX`, `calculateBarY`, `calculateBarWidth` and `calculateBarHeight`.
* respect new scale option 'order' when ordering scales
* scale service - respect new weight scale option for axes ordering
* added test for scale ordering by weight
* removed trailing spaces from layout weight scale order test
* Make parseTime private
* start on fixing time scale
* Reimplement existing functionality
* Tidy tests
* Fix labels for non-linearly sized units
Months, quarters and years have non-constant numbers of seconds. A scale that's linear WRT milliseconds produces incorrect tick labels due to the label formatting losing precision (eg year labels lose month and day so a label of 2016-12-32 displays as 2016 instead of 2017).
* Re-implement tick generation
As in v2.5
Radar chart position is not center horizontally with v2.5.0.
Right and left of `furthestLimits` would be switched wrongly on
this refactoring commit.

* Undo fix for #3585 since it has broken the stacked bar charts when the axis has a user defined minimum value.
* When a value of 0 is requested for a vertical logarithmic axis, return the bottom point
The `fill` option now accepts the index of the target dataset (number) or a string starting by "+" or "-" followed by a number representing the dataset index relative to the current one (e.g. `fill: "-2"` on dataset at index 3 will fill to dataset at index 1). It's also possible to "propagate" the filling to the target of an hidden dataset (`options.plugins.filler.propagate`). Fill boundaries `zero`, `top` and `bottom` have been deprecated and replaced by `origin`, `start` and `end`.
Implementation has been moved out of the line element into a new plugin (`src/plugins/plugin.filler.js`) and does not rely anymore on the deprecated model `scaleTop`, `scaleBottom` and `scaleZero` values. Drawing Bézier splines has been refactored in the canvas helpers (note that `Chart.helpers.canvas` is now an alias of `Chart.canvasHelpers`).
Add 3 new examples and extend utils with a pseudo-random number generator that can be initialized with `srand`. That makes possible to design examples starting always with the same initial data.
Attempt to make easier the creation of unit tests that check the drawing output. Until now, this was done by checking calls on a 'fake' context, which is hard to maintain (need to update pixel values by hands) and also not reliable when optimizing code (i.e. different calls sequence but same result).
As of now, it's possible to define 'auto' tests based on JSON/PNG fixtures: chart is generated from the JSON file and compared to the associated PNG image. The image diff is done using `pixelmatch`. As an example (and in preparation of the `filler` plugin), add auto tests for the line element `fill` options.
`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.
gridLines.circular is a new option that toggles circular lines. This allows radar charts with circular lines #3082
pointLabels.display is a new option that toggles the display of point labels.
The existing angleLines.display is used with the new pointLabels.display setting is used to trigger the radar like settings.
This required changing the default polar area config.
Animation callbacks now receives `animationObject` directly with a reference on the associated chart (`animation.chart`), which deprecates `animation.animationObject` and `animation.chartInstance`. Also fix missing `onComplete` animation argument and make sure that an animation object is passed even when animations are disabled.
If a value is set on the model after `pivot()` has been called, the view wasn't initialized and the animation started from 0. Now, `_start` and incomplete `_view` are initialized to the model value during the transition (no initial implicit transition).
Also remove exception handling when animating a string (color), which is faster when string are not valid colors (e.g. tooltip position). It requires to update `chartjs-color` to version 2.1.0.
In order to take full advantage of the new plugin hooks called before and after a dataset is drawn, all drawing operations must happen on stable meta data, so make sure that transitions are performed before.
Chart data can now be entirely replaced using `chart.data = {...}` thanks to the new property setter (instead of using `chart.config.data = {}`). Also update the documentation, as suggested by @ldaguise and @kennethkalmer, with a note about versions prior 2.6.
