MAJOR NEW FEATURES

colourInput() now supports an alpha channel, to allow selecting semi-transparent colours, using the allowTransparent boolean parameter. Note that this is a BREAKING CHANGE because previously allowTransparent=TRUE resulted in a checkbox, and now it displays the alpha opacity selector.
The value of a colour in colourInput() can be specified either using a colour name (“blue”), HEX codes (“#0000FF”), RGB codes (“rgb(0, 0, 255)”), or HSL codes (“hsl(240, 100, 50)”)
It is now possible to type the value of a colour (using any of the above versions) directly into the input field. For example, you can type “rgb(0, 0, 255)” directly into the input field to select the green colour.

BREAKING CHANGES

BUG FIXES

Fix issue #7: setting a colourinput to background-only and then back to text does not let you click into the input

Added an awesome plotHelper() gadget+addin that makes it easy to pick colours in a plot and see in real time the updated plot as you choose new colours (#1)
Added keyboard shortcuts for colourPicker() (left/right arrows to navigate the colours, 1-9 to select a colour, spacebar to add a colour…)
don’t error out if a HEX value containing alpha transparency is passed to a colourInput() (#4 - thanks @ddiez)
