Clarify relationship with jsonfield2 and django-jsonfield

See original GitHub issue

This project is published on Pypi as jsonfield. There are other packages with similar names, all for Django, which is confusing:

The similar names are causing confusion. For example, have a look at this comment https://github.com/django-notifications/django-notifications/issues/269#issuecomment-585088457 in the project django-notifications.

Please add to README.rst a warning pointing out the naming confusion. It also looks like Pypi packages jsonfield and jsonfield2 are supposed to be merged now?

Good point. I updated the README on GitHub, but hadn’t push that to PyPI. That should be fixed now. Thanks!

Hi @Flimm. Here are the details:

This package has always been jsonfield on PyPI, but previously, the GH repository was django-jsonfield.
This caused confusion, as there is also the django-jsonfield project on PyPI.
jsonfield wasn’t actively maintained, so I created a fork called jsonfield2.
However, I was recently granted ownership of jsonfield, merged my fork in, and then archived my fork as it was no longer necessary.
Lastly, I changed the repo name from django-jsonfield to jsonfield to be consistent with the project name.
