* 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
Coverage data are now generated by running `gulp unittest` with the `--coverage` argument: unit tests are then executed a single time on Travis. The gulp `coverage` task has been removed and `karma.coverage.conf.ci.js` merged into `karma.conf.ci.js`.
Update documentation with gulp commands (and remove them from `README.md`) and remove unused `config.jshintrc` (oversight from #3256). Delete `thankyou.md` which has been merged into `README.md`.
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.
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.
Make all `before` hooks cancellable (except `beforeInit`), meaning that if any plugin return explicitly `false`, the current action is not performed. Ensure that `init` hooks are called before `update` hooks and add associated calling order unit tests. Deprecate `Chart.PluginBase` in favor of `IPlugin` (no more an inheritable class) and document plugin hooks (also rename `extension` by `hook`).
Refactoring to put browser specific code in a new class, BrowserPlatform.
BrowserPlatform implements IPlatform. Chart.Platform is the constructor for the platform object that is attached to the chart instance.
Plugins are notified about the event using the `onEvent` call. The legend plugin was converted to use onEvent instead of the older private `handleEvent` method.
Wrote test to check that plugins are notified about events
Pass the hover event to the onHover event handler
This makes the behavior of the `onHover` handler consistent with the `onClick` handler:
```
function(event, activeElements) {
var chartInstance = this;
}
```
Add support for creating a chart from the canvas id and prevent exceptions, at construction time, when the given item doesn't provide a valid CanvasRenderingContext2D or when the getContext API is not accessible (e.g. undefined by add-ons to prevent fingerprinting). New jasmine matcher to verify chart validity.
Thanks to the Bower team, we have been able to register the chart.js package name, previously pointing on a dead repository, which make the Bower integration more consistent with the npm one. All other alias still work (Chart.js, chartjs, Chart-js, chartjs-Chart.js).
