Add a new account type Gain with single-letter code G as a subtype of
Revenue, similar to how Cash is a subtype of Asset and Conversion is a
subtype of Equity. This enables tracking capital gains/losses separately
while still including them in income statements and close --retain.
Usage: account revenues:capital ; type: G
- type:G matches only Gain accounts
- type:R matches both Revenue and Gain (subtype matching)
- Auto-detection from account names matching:
^(income|revenue)s?:(capital[- ]?)?(gains?|loss(es)?)(:|$)
e.g. income:gains, revenue:capital-gains, income:losses
When including a literal path, don't use the Glob library at all.
Glob seems to read attributes of all files in a directory,
which disturbs build tools like tup which detect dependencies
based on filesystem operations.
Since 1.50.3, canonicalizePath was being called wastefully when
processing journals with many nested include files and/or many matches
for include glob paths. On a slow filesystem, with unusually
many includes, this might have been quite noticeable.
Now we canonicalise each file path just once as it is encountered,
avoiding the wasted IO work.
showing the problem include directive (previously the line number was
off by one). Likewise for other IO errors like when resolving ~ and
a home directory can't be found.
1.50* attempted to work around Glob's implicit searching of non-top-level dot dirs.
This was overzealous; it meant that journal's include completely
excluded paths involving a glob and a dot dir or dot file anywhere in the path.
Now, the pre-1.50 behaviour is restored:
`*` and `**` won't implicitly match dot files or top-level dot directories.
They will implicitly search non-top-level dot directories, as before (#Glob#49).
Before 1.50, journal's include directive's handling of glob patterns (*, **, ?, etc.)
had these limitations:
- ** always searched intermediate dot directories
- ** matched only directories, not files
In 1.50-1.50.3, it had different limitations, some unintended:
- it ignored all dot files, dot dirs, and symbolic links to dot dirs,
even when explicitly mentioned in the pattern (unless using --old-glob)
- it showed symbolic links dereferenced, eg in `hledger files` output
Now it has fewer limitations, mainly this:
- it ignores all dot files and dot dirs, even when explicitly mentioned (unless using --old-glob)
Ie it no longer ignores symbolic links to dot dirs, and it no longer shows symbolic links dereferenced.
Also: including the current file is now always harmless, whether using a glob pattern or not.
Internally, file paths in the "include file stack" (jincludefilestack) are now just absolute,
but not canonicalised; showing symbolic links un-dereferenced in output and error messages seems
generally more useful. This might affect output elsewhere also.
(Those paths are still canonicalised on the fly when checking for include cycles,
not so efficiently: each time an include directive is parsed, all the current parent files
and all the new glob-matched include files will be re-canonicalised.
Hopefully this is unnoticeable.)
Since 1.50, sourceFilePath, which does IO operations, was being called for every item in the journal.
On my machine this was causing a ~40% slowdown,
but probably it could be more depending on storage system.
Now it's once again called only once per include directive.
Speed seems slightly better now than 1.43 for some reason
(eg: 13k txns/s -> 8k txns/s -> 14k txns/s).
The default timeclock parser (ie when not using --old-timeclock) has
the following changes, related to issues such as
[#2141], [#2365], [#2400], [#2417]:
- semicolon now always starts a comment; timeclock account names can't include semicolons
(though journal account names still can)
- clock-in and clock-out entries now have different syntax
- clock-ins now require an account name
- clock-outs now can have a comment and tags
- the doc has been rewritten, and now mentions the --old-timeclock flag
- lib: accountnamep and modifiedaccountnamep now take a flag to allow semicolons or not
Errors in the main file are being reported a few lines too high,
due to the setOffset in includedirectivep.
It seems reverting this should have restored the original bug with
wrong line number in certain include error messages, but I can't find
that right now.
** now ignores anything under dotted directories, ie directories whose
name begins with a dot. Eg .git/, foo/.secret/, etc.
Switched from Glob to filepattern lib.
