Previously, the angular-touch library provided by AngularJS was used to
allow click interactions with UI components to work on touch devices
without an uncomfortable ~300ms delay. From AngularJS 1.7.x onward, this
feature of angular-touch is no longer present:
https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/migration#ngtouch
This should be OK - modern browsers will now recognize applications
aimed at touch support via the use of the "viewport" meta tag (which we
use), removing our original need for angular-touch. The same goes for
IE10+.
In previous versions of Pickr, catching exceptions during Pickr creation
was sufficient to detect whether Pickr can be used with the current
browser. This is no longer the case, and we must instead rely on the
lack of an "init" event.
This is particularly important for AngularJS 1.8.x and jQuery 3.5.0+,
which will no longer correct this automatically with their HTML
prefilters, resulting in unexpected nesting of tags when the browser
interprets something like "<div/>" as "<div>" (older versions of jQuery
would have corrected "<div/>" to "<div></div>").
