27may2020
- updated to new version of ColrSpace
- option pname() is now called name()
- options luminate() and saturate() can no longer be abbreviated (to avoid 
  confliction with options of color generators)
- interpolation was applied to palettes read from ado-files even if this was
  not necessary; this is fixed
- palette class was not returned if reading palette from ado-file; this is fixed

19may2020
- some adaptions due to changes in ColrSpace()
- some syntax parsting now done in Mata so that ColrSpace object only
  has to be generated once

15may2020
- gscale() and cvd() now allow numlists

14may2020
- colorpalete has new syntax
  o palettes are now specified as "palettename scheme ..."; old syntax 
    (schemes as options) still works, but is undocumented
  o colorlist can be included in parentheses to avoid name conflict with
    palettes; automatic detection of color list specification vs. palette
    specification has been improved
- further changes to colorpalette:
  o option pname() added (set palette name)
  o option stylefiles() added (write color style files)
  o option locals() added (save colors as locals)

10may2020 (colorpalette.ado)
- globals() has been applied to each palette individually when multiple palettes
  were appended in a single call to -colorpalette-; this is changed; globals() 
  is now applied at the end, after collecting the colors from all palettes
- globals() now also has a suffix() option
- color names have been updated for some palettes so that they comply with
  Stata's naming conventions

  o tableau is now a separate palette
  o mata(name) to obtain colors from Mata ColrSpace object
  o new order() option

    turned off by -noexpand-; class() option to determine palette class 
    (relevant for deciding whether to recycle or interpolate)
  o forcergb to always use rgb, for example also for named Stata colors
  o now displays error if options are specified that are not allowed with palette
