TODO

• Improve compN for non-parametric ColorAlpha types (PR Improve compN for non-parametric ColorAlpha types #245)

• (Re-)define one for Colorant (PR [RFC] (Re-)define one for Colorant #243)
• Support alpha(::Number) (PR Support alpha(::Number) and ensure alpha/gray return compatible types #177)
• Use sampler-based Random API (PR [RFC] Use sampler-based Random API #222)
• Update gamutmin/gamutmax based on sRGB gamut (PR Update gamutmin/gamutmax based on sRGB gamut #254)
  • cf. issue gamutmax(LCHab) disagrees with the Colors.jl usage #125
• Make AbstractGray an abstract type instead of an alias (PR Make AbstractGray an abstract type instead of an alias #252)
  • cf. issue [RFC] Distinguishing between AbstractGray{T} and Color{T, 1} #230
• Generalize conversions from/to Real (PR Generalize conversions from/to Real #255)
• Remove eltype_ub (PR Remove eltype_ub #258)
  • cf. issue Removing eltype_ub and renaming eltype_default #257
• Redesign color constructors (PR [RFC] Redesign color constructors #197)
• Generalize conversions within the same base color
  • cf. issue Generalization of conversions within the same base color (adding/stripping alpha) #241
• Fix conversions from parametric colors to abstract colors
  • cf. @test_brokens in "test/conversions.jl"
• Modify error messages in constructors (PR Modify error messages in constructors #256)
  • cf. issue [RFC] Warn about the normalization first in error messages of RGB constructors #242
  • cf. Improve checkval and throw_colorerror #187 (comment)
• Add a "function" which returns a simple component iterator (PR Add component iterator #260)
  • cf. issue [RFC] Adding component iterator #190
  • In v0.12, it may be a private API. The enhancements will be made in ColorTypes v0.13.
• Re-implement folding functions (e.g. reducec) with the component iterator (PR Add init keyword support for reducec & mapreducec #263)
  • cf. issue init keyword for reducec and mapreducec #247
• Decide about the deprecation of eltype and length
  • cf. PR RFC: eltype->eltypec, length->lengthc #184
• Define a new API to replace eltype_default
  • cf. issue Removing eltype_ub and renaming eltype_default #257
• Optimize hue(c) (PR [WIP] Optimize hue and implement polar_to_cartesian #262)
  • cf. Optimize ColorTypes.hue(c) Colors.jl#495

This is basically my failure, but as it turns out, this list was not helpful.
I close this misleading PR once.
Let's create a new list (especially to clarify about BREAKING CHANGEs).
