-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+.
-
-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

-hledger is a haskell port and friendly fork of John Wiegley's ledger.  It
-is a robust command-line accounting tool with a simple human-editable data
-format. Given a plain text file describing transactions, of money or any
-other commodity, hledger will print the chart of accounts, account
-balances, or transactions you're interested in.  It can also help you
-record transactions, or convert CSV data from your bank. There are also
-curses and web interfaces. The project aims to provide a reliable,
-practical day-to-day financial reporting tool, and also a useful library
-for building financial apps in haskell.
-
-Since hledger's last HCAR entry in 2009, hledger became cabalised, had 10
-non-bugfix releases on hackage, split into multiple packages, acquired a
-public mailing list, bug tracker, fairly comprehensive manual,
-cross-platform binaries, and has grown to 5k lines of code and 15
-committers. 0.14 has just been released, with 5 code committers.
-
-The project is available under the GNU GPLv3 or later, at http://hledger.org .
-
-Current plans are to continue development at a steady pace, to attract
-more developers, and to become more useful to a wider range of users, eg
-by building in more awareness of standard accounting procedures and by
-improving the web and other interfaces.

-## 2009/05 HCAR
-
-hledger is a (primarily) command-line accounting tool similar to John
-Wiegley's "ledger".  It reads a plain text journal file describing money
-or commodity transactions, or timelog entries, and generates precise
-activity and balance reports.
-
-Since the last report, hledger has reached release 0.4 on Hackage. It has
-60 test cases, new features such as basic curses and web-based interfaces,
-and has had some performance tuning. It is now quite useful for day to day
-reporting of money and time. Also, the project has a new web address
-(hledger.org), and has attracted two new committers.

-## 2008/11 HCAR
-
-hledger is a command-line accounting tool similar to John Wiegley’s ledger tool.
-
-The first release has been published on Hackage, and has attracted some
-interest. It can be used for generating simple balance and transaction
-reports from a plain-text general ledger. A home page and mail list has
-also been created.
-
-Immediate plans are to add some more of the most useful features from 
-ledger, so that hledger can be used for day-to-day finances, and to grow
-the community of contributors.
