countdown 0.4.0

Release Post: countdown v0.4.0 – Now on CRAN!

New Features

{countdown} now uses {prismatic} for color calculations.
The JavaScript implementation of countdown has been completely rewritten. It now supports a wide range of new interactions:
- Start, pause, and reset the timer (click, click again, double click).
- + or - buttons to bump timer up or down.
- Keyboard shortcuts: Space/Enter to start/stop, Escape to reset, and up/down arrows to bump timer.
- The timers now work on mobile devices (in particular in xaringan slides).
countdown timers can now be used in or controlled by Shiny apps:
- Use countdown_update() to update key initial timer settings.
- Use countdown_action() to trigger common action: start, stop, reset, bump up or bump down.
- State changes are reported back to the Shiny app, e.g. Shiny apps can use input$timer to receive event data from the timer with id = "timer".
- countdown_shiny_example() runs a Shiny app that demonstrates key Shiny app features.
Timers can now start immediately by setting the argument start_immediately = TRUE. When TRUE, timers will start as soon as they are visible. This feature works in xaringan slides, Quarto slides and general HTML web pages (thanks @Dr-Joe-Roberts, @davidkane9, #12).
The countdown_app() now supports bookmarking, making it possible to share pre-configured timer URLs. This feature improves the usability of the timer available at https://apps.garrickadenbuie.com/countdown.

Minor style adjustments

Added .countdown-time class to <code> element of timer. Renamed .digits class to .countdown-digits. This ensures that it's possible to write CSS rules with high specificity values (#10).
Added style argument to countdown() for inlining CSS rules to the parent div of the timer.

Added a warning state to the coundown timer that is enabled by setting warn_when = N. The warning class is applied to the timer for the last N seconds, and the colors of this state are configured with the arguments with color_warning_ prefix (thanks @hadley, #5).
Added a new convenience function for full-screen (and stand-alone) countdown timers, countdown_fullscreen(). This function's defaults work best when called from RStudio, in xaringan slides it will still be necessary to fiddle with font_size, margin, and padding (thanks @hadley, #6).
Add countdown_app() to launch an interactive Shiny app with a full-screen countdown timer.
