Farbtastic 2.x is in Alpha, but that doesn't mean we can't investigate its adoption into Drupal 7 core. This also means we can help in its debugging and development.

The whole misc/farbtastic folder should be removed as misc/farbtastic.js is the new location. We don't need the other files anymore because Farbtastic 2 is awesome.

FYI, the big hold up for a farbtastic 2 is IE 6. You can see the problem at http://skitch.com/mattfarina/bj2ru/farbtastic-v2-ie6

IE 6, won't you please go away.

Also, the is canvas based so explorer canvas is needed for IE.

I'm not sure that depending on ExplorerCanvas is a good idea either.

This needs to be pushed out to when we no longer support ie6.

now is the time.

There is an html5 color input type: #1445224: Add new HTML5 FAPI element: color

I'm for dropping this altogether and let contrib deal with it.

Title: Update to Farbtastic 2 » Decide what to do with Farbtastic library
Category: feature » task
Issue tags: -color, -farbtastic

I'm re-purposing this to decide what to do with this ancient library. If we can drop it with #1651344: Use color input type in the color.module, great. If not, we need to decide whether to update or implement a new library.

Marked #1166078: Interaction between color wheel and Saturation/Brightness box wasn't initially obvious. as a dup of this issue.

FYI, farbtastic isn't being maintained anymore. I say that as the last person to actually maintain it. Someone else either needs to take over maintainership or a migration to something new should happen.

Related issues: +#2268955: Deprecate farbtastic library

Looks like we're moving in this direction.

Version: 9.x-dev » 9.0.x-dev

The 9.0.x branch will open for development soon, and the placeholder 9.x branch should no longer be used. Only issues that require a new major version should be filed against 9.0.x (for example, removing deprecated code or updating dependency major versions). New developments and disruptive changes that are allowed in a minor version should be filed against 8.9.x, and significant new features will be moved to 9.1.x at committer discretion. For more information see the Allowed changes during the Drupal 8 and 9 release cycles and the Drupal 9.0.0 release plan.
