+
+hledger is a library and end-user tool (with command-line, curses and web
+interfaces) for converting, recording, and analyzing financial
+transactions, using a simple human-editable plain text file format. It is
+a haskell port and friendly fork of John Wiegley's Ledger, licensed under
+GNU GPLv3+.
+
+%% 2011:
+%% hledger aims to be a reliable, practical tool for daily use. It reports
+%% charts of accounts or account balances, filters transactions by type,
+%% helps you record new transactions, converts CSV data from your bank,
+%% publishes your text journal with a rich web interface, generates simple
+%% charts, and provides an API for use in your own financial scripts and
+%% apps.
+
+%% In the last six months there have been two major releases. 0.15 focussed
+%% on features and 0.16 focussed on quality. Changes include:
+
+%% - new modal command-line interface, extensible with hledger-* executables in the path
+%% - more useful web interface, with real account registers and basic charts
+%% - hledger-web no longer needs to create support files, and uses latest yesod & warp
+%% - more ledger compatibility
+%% - misc command enhancements, API improvements, bug fixes, documentation updates
+%% - lines of code increased by 3k to 8k
+%% - project committers increased by 6 to 21
+
+%% Current plans include:
+
+%% - Continue the release rhythm of odd-numbered = features, even-numbered =
+%%   quality/stability/polish, and releasing on the first of a month
+
+%% - In 0.17, clean up the storage layer, allow rcs integration via
+%%   filestore, and read (or convert) more formats
+
+%% - Keep working towards wider usefulness, improving the web interface and
+%%   providing standard financial reports
