I'm pleased to announce version 0.16 of the hledger packages. This is a
stability/bugfix/polish release (which may become the pattern for
even-numbered releases in future.)
I'm pleased to announce version 0.18 of hledger.
hledger is a library and set of user tools for working with financial
data (or anything that can be tracked in a double-entry accounting
ledger.) It is a haskell port and friendly fork of John Wiegley's
Ledger. hledger provides command-line, curses and web interfaces, and
aims to be a reliable, practical tool for daily use. Given a plain
text file describing transactions of money or any other commodity, it
will print the chart of accounts, account balances, or just the
transactions you're interested in. It can also help you record new
hledger (http://hledger.org) is a haskell library, command-line tool and
web application for working with financial data (or anything that can be
tracked numerically in an accounting journal). It is inspired by and
compatible with John Wiegley's Ledger. hledger reads a plain text file
describing transactions and lets you query account balances or transaction
details by various criteria. It can also help you record new
transactions, or convert CSV data from your bank.
Home: http://hledger.org
Release notes (http://hledger.org/NEWS.html):
To install: cabal update, cabal install hledger. If you have trouble, let
me know or watch the mail list/bug tracker for updates. Optional add-ons:
hledger-web hledger-vty hledger-chart hledger-interest.
* web: hledger-web is now based on yesod 1.0
Pre-built platform-specific binaries, which are time-consuming to make and
support, are provided on request to anyone who donates. This is a great
way to give back and support the project! http://hledger.org/DOWNLOAD.html
* web: fix js error breaking second use of add form (#72)
Release notes for 0.16:
* web: make `yesod devel` work
* cli: strip the -- when calling add-on commands, so their options work
(#64)
* the command-line now supports a more powerful query language, consistent with the web UI
* cli: hledger ADDON --version now shows add-on command's version
* hledger now fully supports tags (aka metadata) on both transactions and postings, and querying by tag or tag value
* cli: only the add and web commands auto-create the journal file
* new commands `incomestatement`, `balancesheet`, and `cashflow` provide basic financial statements under certain conditions
* cli: give a non-confusing error if LEDGER_FILE contains a literal
tilde
* format conversion is now done on demand, and the convert command has been dropped. So instead of
`hledger convert FILE.csv` just do `hledger -f FILE.csv print` or any other command.
You can also pipe any supported format into `hledger -f- CMD` and hledger will try to do the right thing.
* add: clearer prompts, more validation, use . to end also
* support for GHC 6.12 has been dropped; this release has been tested with GHC 7.0.4, 7.2.2, and 7.4.1
* add: use unix line endings consistently, avoiding parse error on
windows (#51)
* unicode is now handled properly on all supported GHC versions
* add: avoid excess whitespace between transactions (#46)
* balance: ledger compatibility fix: don't elide parent accounts with
multiple displayed subaccounts
* convert: always order converted transactions by date
* convert: rename currency -> base-currency, in-field, out-field ->
amount-in-field, amount-out-field
* convert: give an error, not a zero when date or
amount-in-field/amount-out-field parsing fails
* register: show more useful range of intervals with --empty and a query
pattern
* print, web: always show both dates, ignoring --effective (#42)
* web: production builds (the default with cabal) have all web content
embedded (dev builds use ./static/) (#63)
* web: update to yesod 0.9
* web: obey at least some of the general reporting options, like --cost
* web: adjust the default base url when a custom port is specified
* web: prevent an infinite redirect when custom base url has a trailing
slash
* web: fix "not:'multi word'" patterns
* web: hide old title and search form when adding/editing
* web: adjust --help to indicate command-line arguments are not expected
* web: don't bother running cli unit tests at startup
* API and internal cleanups
