jquery_colorpicker 8.x-2.0-beta1

First beta release of version 8.x-2.x of the JQuery Colorpicker module.

When the Drupal 6 version of the JQuery Colorpicker module was integrated with CCK (the precursor to the Field API), a new field type 'jquery_colorpicker' was created. This was persisted into Drupal 7 and Drupal 8.

However, upon a close self-reflection, it was realized that the field itself was actually storing a color, and JQuery Colorpicker was simply a widget for that color.

As such, version 8.x-2.x has been a fairly major re-write of the module, removing the entire underlying field type, and instead making this module simply a widget on top of a colorapi_color field, provided by the Color API module (https://www.drupal.org/project/colorapi).

The module is also now fully managed through Composer, meaning that the 3rd party library dependency is installed through composer, rather than manually.

The module does not yet have an upgrade path from Version 8.x-1.x to version 8.x-2.x. At the moment, users should NOT upgrade. An upgrade path will be provided in the near future, in the meantime, this release should only be installed new onto systems.
