`controllers.*.js` and `core.datasetController.js` are now importable (no more function export), that's why there is so many changes mainly due to one indentation level removed. Split code for `bar/horizontalBar` and `doughnut/pie` in separate files, added a global controllers import (`src/controllers/index.js`) and add tests to check that all dataset controllers are correctly registered under `chart.controllers.{type}`.
The bar `backgroundColor`, `borderColor`, `borderWidth` and `borderSkipped` options are now scriptable (unit tests, docs and a basic sample). Also fix the gulp task that generates the documentation on Windows.
New `options.resolve` helper that determines the final value to use from an array of input values (fallback) and a given context and/or index. For now, only the bubble chart support scriptable options, see documentation for details.
Add scriptable options documentation and update the bubble chart dataset properties table with their scriptable and indexable capabilities and default values. Also move point style description under the element configuration section.
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.
Default options can now be accessed by importing `core/core.defaults`. The returned object acts as a singleton and is populated when importing classes that expose their own default values (meaning that importing only `code.defaults` results in an empty object). Also make `Chart.Ticks` and `Chart.Interaction` importable since existing defaults rely on these values.
Add the `defaults._set` method that make easier declaring new defaults by merging given values with existing ones for a specific scope (`global`, `scale`, `bar`, etc).
Properly export helpers and remove dependencies to `Chart.helpers`. Helpers can now be accessed from `src/helpers/index.js` (`var helpers = require('path/to/helpers/index')`, instead of `var helpers = Chart.helpers`).
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`.
Data controllers should now rarely implement addElements and addElementAndReset but instead should define dataElementType (and optionally datasetElementType). Also remove some dead code (e.g. numBars, colorForNewElement, etc.).
Updated all chart types to use the helper.getHoverColor. Pattern fills can now be specified for both fill and line portions of a chart. Updates chartjs/Chart.js#1323
Meta info are now scoped by chart and moved under the dataset._meta map { chart.id -> meta }. Meta for a specific chart (and dataset) can be accessed using chart.getDatasetMeta(datasetIndex) or from the dataset controller using getMeta(). Note that helpers.uid() now generates an int (instead of a string) to make lookups in the _meta map faster.
