I'm pleased to announce hledger 1.9. The version jump signals some
|
||||
noteworthy changes still landing (normal-positive reports, budget
|
||||
reporting) which are a kind of preview of 2.0. The next major release,
|
||||
on 2018/06/30, will be hledger 2.0. Thank you to release contributors:

Highlights:
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
You'll note this is not 2.0 as previously planned - we will spend a
|
||||
bit more time on that. The next major release is expected to be on
|
||||
2018/09/30.
|
||||
|
||||
* the "financial statement" commands bs/bse/cf/is now show all normal
|
||||
balances as positive numbers, producing more conventional financial
|
||||
reports which are easier to share with others. (experimental)
|
||||
Please see http://hledger.org/release-notes#hledger-1.10 for the changes
|
||||
(as soon as I can get to those; until then, the package changelogs):
|
||||
|
||||
* bal/bs/bse/cf/is can now generate HTML reports

||||
* account codes can be used to customize account sorting
|
||||
|
||||
* numbers in scientific E-notation are supported, eg in journal and CSV data
|
||||
|
||||
* budget report improvements
|
||||
|
||||
* general report cleanups

How to get started:
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
See http://hledger.org/download for all install methods.
|
||||
Often, to get the latest release you will need to build it.
|
||||
Here are some ways to do that:
|
||||
|
||||
Using the hledger-install script, which requires only bash and will
|
||||
build and install the hledger tools in $HOME/.local/bin/.
|
||||
(Note: building haskell apps can take significant time, memory, and
|
||||
disk space, especially the first time. You can kill and restart the
|
||||
installer without losing progress. If it fails, please help us
|
||||
improve it by reporting the full output):
|
||||
One of the easiest is the hledger-install script, which requires only
|
||||
bash and will build and install the hledger tools in $HOME/.local/bin/:
|
||||
|
||||
$ curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simonmichael/hledger/master/hledger-install/hledger-install.sh
|
||||
$ less hledger-install.sh # (do security review)
|
||||
$ bash hledger-install.sh # (add -v for more detail; use bash -x to show commands being run)
|
||||
|
||||
Using hledger-install the more convenient, less secure way:
|
||||
or (insecure):
|
||||
|
||||
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simonmichael/hledger/master/hledger-install/hledger-install.sh | bash
|
||||
|
||||
Using stack:
|
||||
|
||||
$ stack install hledger-lib-1.9 hledger-1.9 # hledger-ui-1.9 hledger-web-1.9 hledger-api-1.9
|
||||
|
||||
Using cabal:
|
||||
|
||||
$ cabal update
|
||||
$ cabal install hledger-1.9 # hledger-ui-1.9 hledger-web-1.9 hledger-api-1.9
|
||||
|
||||
After installation, ensure $HOME/.local/bin is in your $PATH.
|
||||
Now try some commands:
|
||||
After installation, ensure $HOME/.local/bin is in your $PATH, and try some commands:
|
||||
|
||||
$ hledger -h # quick help
|
||||
$ hledger help # list built-in manuals
|
||||
$ hledger add # record some transactions
|
||||
$ hledger # list available commands
|
||||
|
||||
Now perhaps work through the tutorial at
|
||||
https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/wiki/hledger-basics-tutorial.
|
||||
Or review the fine documents at http://hledger.org and
|
||||
http://plaintextaccounting.org. Or say hello and ask questions in the
|
||||
#hledger IRC channel on Freenode: http://irc.hledger.org.
|
||||
Next, I encourage you to at least skim the tutorials and docs at
|
||||
http://hledger.org.
