I made a few modifications to the new colorbar, so part of my previous message no longer applies. If the new colorbar finds kwargs from colorbar_classic, it issues a warning and then proceeds to call colorbar_classic. This should keep most old code working as before.

Eric: Thanks for all your hard work! Looks like it should make colorbar much more flexible (and useful).
Playing around with it a bit with I found that using a format string in the format keyword causes an exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):

self.formatter = ticker.FormatStringFormatter(format)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'FormatStringFormatter
Changing 'FormatStringFormatter' to 'FormatStrFormatter' in colorbar.py seems to fix it.
Also, the docs suggest that the ticks keyword can be a list, but if I use for example
colorbar(ticks=[-1.0,0,1.0])
I don't get what I expect. In fact, it seems to use the default tick locations no matter what assign to ticks (a list or a ticker object, such as MultipleLocator(4)). Am I mis-interpreting the docstrings?

Fixed, thanks. I thought I had tested that, but...

It was working as you expected for images but not for contours. Now that is fixed also.
