Attention, attention hledger-folk! Once again, Happy Hallowe'en.
Two months since last release, I'm pleased to announce hledger 1.1 !
Thank you to contributors Johannes Gerer, Nikolay Orlyuk, and Shubham
Lagwankar, along with all others who contributed in other ways.
After almost ten years of steady development, and one year since
our last major release, I am very pleased to announce..
hledger (http://hledger.org) is a dependable, precise, cross-platform
program for tracking money, time, or any other commodity, using
double-entry accounting and a simple plain text file format. Inspired
by the Ledger project, hledger provides command-line, curses and web
interfaces, and aims to be a robust, practical tool for daily use.

To install this release:
- docs have been reorganized, with more focussed manuals available in
multiple versions, formats and as built-in help
- we support the latest GHC (8 and 7.10), stackage snapshots, and
libs. (GHC 7.8 and 7.6 support are not currently supported,
maintainers welcome.)
- hledger has migrated from parsec to megaparsec and from String to
Text, parsers have been simplified, memory usage is ~30% less on
large files, speed is slightly improved all around
- --pivot (group by arbitrary tag instead of account) and --anon
(obfuscate account names) are now supported
- hledger-ui has acquired many new features making it more useful
(file editing, filtering, historical/period modes, quick period
browsing..)
- hledger-web is more robust and more mobile-friendly
- hledger-api, a simple web API server, has been added
- a new "timedot" file format allows retroactive/approximate time
logging

month, and contributor activity is increasing

portal and knowledge base for hledger, Ledger, beancount and related
tools and practices.
