NEWS in package ‘farver’

Changes in version 2.1.0

Added support for OKLab and OKLch (polar version of OKLab) colour spaces
Added encode_native() and decode_native() to convert back and forth between the internal R colour format.

Fixed a bug in colour comparison where the blue channel got ignored (#20, @krlmlr)
Allowing "NA" and "transparent" as valid colour names
How NA should be treated can now be set in all functions accepting colour names
farver now accepts legacy colour specifications as integers indexing into palette() as well as integers represented as characters

Small adjustments to support super weird architectures (#15, #16)
decode_colour() now allows you to specify how NA should get interpreted
Fixed a major bug in colour comparison
Colour names are now stripped of whitespace and converted to lower-case before conversion, making it behave like col2rgb()
An error is now emitted if an unknown colour name is passed into any decoding function

Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
