Describe the changes below:
I noticed that getting dimensions or bounds changed in Phaser 2.6.1 and
it was bugged - returned dimensions were doubled in the direction of the
scaling for example, but the nice thing was that this time the
dimensions included the rotation of the object - which I think should be
the default behavior. It also bugged getLocalBounds which started
returning global getBounds();
When I checked the previous version of phaser 2.5.0 - total different
story. getLocalBounds returns the object without any transformations to
it. Getting width and height works ok, but rotation wasn't calculated to
the dimensions at all.
In all cases only getBounds returned proper dimensions, which is
obviously not enough and this is also a very important issue to be
resolved as soon as possible since it's a major core component feature
used all the time.
That's why I decided to spare the time and hopefully find a good fix for
all of this mess and I think I finally got there and tried to make the
changes as much as possible with your Code of Conduct. This is actually
the first time I am requesting a pull so I hope it will do some good. I
did compare my results with how Flash handles dimensions - they match,
so I do hope I didn't miss something and believe you guys would make
sure everything works ok.
To help you with reviewing and possibly (and hopefully) accepting this
pull request I've made available online 3 demos of the issues and with
demo of the fix of course:

I really hope to see this FIX in the next version - would help me and a
lot of people I guess to get the job done properly!
Thank you!
Group.getAll will return all children in the Group, or a section of the Group, with the optional ability to test if the child has a property matching the given value or not.
Group.iterate has a new `returnType`: `RETURN_ALL`. This allows you to return all children that pass the iteration test in an array.
Groups have a new method `alignIn`. It allows you to align the Group within another Game Object, or a Rectangle. You can specify one of 9 positions which are the new position constants such as: `Phaser.TOP_LEFT` or `Phaser.CENTER` (see docs for the complete list). The Groups are positioned based on their child bounds, which takes rotation and scaling into consideration. You can easily place Groups into the corners of the screen, or game world, or align them within other Sprites, using this method.
Groups have a new method `alignTo`. It allows you to align a Group to the side of another Game Object, or a Rectangle. You can specify one of 11 positions which are the new position constants such as: `Phaser.TOP_LEFT` or `Phaser.LEFT_BOTTOM` (see docs for the complete list). The Groups are positioned based on their child bounds, which takes rotation and scaling into consideration. You can easily align Groups next to other Sprites using this method.
