I've made a bugfix release of the hledger-web package, to fix build problems.
I'm pleased to announce version 0.16 of the hledger packages, a bugfix
and polish release. (This may become the pattern for even-numbered
releases in future.)
hledger-web 0.15.1:
* web: add missing Hledger.Web.Options to cabal file
* web: tighten up dependencies to reduce build problems
And here's another new dependency I forgot to mention: flot, the js
charting library.
The rest of this mail is a repeat of yesterday's announcement, since that
one seriously confused google groups, gmane, and perhaps your mailreader
(pro tip: don't re-edit old announcements with Mail.app's cmd-shift-d. :)

I'm pleased to announce hledger 0.15! This release includes work by
Trygve Laugstøl, Dmitry Astapov, Clint Adams, Johann Klähn and
myself.
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 transactions, or convert CSV data from your
bank.

Release notes for 0.16:
Best,
-Simon
* cli: strip the -- when calling add-on commands, so their options
work (#64)
Release notes for 0.15:
* cli: hledger ADDONCOMMAND --version now shows add-on command's
version
* hledger's options are now modal, providing better help (using
cmdargs)
* cli: only the add and web commands auto-create the journal file
* hledger now lists and runs any hledger-* add-ons found in the
user's path
* cli: give a less confusing error if LEDGER_FILE contains a literal
tilde
* case insensitivity of filter patterns has been fixed
* add: clearer prompts, more validation, use . to end also
* parsing: `alias`/`end aliases` directives, for renaming
accounts, are supported, like ledger's but a bit more powerful;
also an `--alias` option for renaming on the fly
* add: avoid excess whitespace between transactions (#46)
* parsing: the `account` directive now preserves posting type
(normal/virtual/balanced virtual)
* balance: ledger compatibility fix: don't elide parent accounts
with multiple displayed subaccounts
* parsing: the `pop` directive is supported as an alias for `end
tag`, like ledger
* convert: always order converted transactions by date
* parsing: `P` (historical price) directives can contain a
(ignored) numeric time zone, like ledger
* register: show more useful range of intervals with --empty and a
query pattern
* parsing: the leading `!` in directives is now optional and
deprecated, like ledger
* print, web: always show both dates, ignoring --effective (#42)
* parsing: entries with a negative amount in the first posting now
infer the correct balancing amount
* web: production builds (the default with cabal install) now have
all content embedded and no longer need to create support files.
Dev builds (cabal install -f-production, or make bin/hledger-web)
look for the web files at a simpler path, ./static/ (#63)
* parsing: bad date checking is more accurate
* web: update to yesod 0.9
* balance: collapsing of boring accounts to one line can be
disabled with `--no-elide`
* web: obey at least some command-line options, like --cost
* balance: fix a wrong precision regression from last release
* web: adjust the default base url when a custom port is specified
* convert: standard input can be converted
* web: prevent an infinite redirect when custom base url has a
trailing slash
* convert: an alternate rules file can be specified with `--rules`
* web: fix "not:'multi word'" patterns
* convert: `account2-field` can be used when the CSV file
specifies both accounts
* web: hide old title and search form when adding/editing
* convert: `description-field` can have a custom format and
combine multiple CSV fields
* web: adjust --help to indicate command-line arguments are not
expected
* convert: `in-field` and `out-field` support CSV files that use
two amount columns
* convert: don't fail when there's no default journal file
* web: the web interface has been overhauled/cleaned up
* web: account register views are now transaction-based, like
gnucash etc., and show accurate historical balances when
possible
* web: simple balance charts are displayed (using flot)
* web: more expressive and consistent search patterns, using a new
matching engine
* web: add form uses currently focussed account as default,
redirects to itself, formats status messages better
* web: sidebar now shows empty/boring accounts too
* web: now uses warp and a newer yesod
* api simplifications
* importable Hledger, Hledger.Web, Hledger.Vty and Hledger.Chart
modules
* the basic reports are now provided by hledger-lib for easier
reuse
* new api use examples: `equity.hs`, `uniquify.hs`
* some old base 3 support has been dropped
* the old -s flag has been dropped
* web: don't bother running cli unit tests at startup
