CSV rules files can now be read directly, eg you have the option of
writing `hledger -f foo.csv.rules CMD`. By default this will read data
from foo.csv in the same directory. But you can also specify a
different data file with a new `source FILE` rule. This has some
convenience features:
- If the data file does not exist, it is treated as empty, not an
error.
- If FILE is a relative path, it is relative to the rules file's
directory. If it is just a file name with no path, it is relative
to ~/Downloads/.
- If FILE is a glob pattern, the most recently modified matched file
is used.
This helps remove some of the busywork of managing CSV downloads.
Most of your financial institutions's default CSV filenames are
different and can be recognised by a glob pattern. So you can put a
rule like `source Checking1*.csv` in foo-checking.csv.rules,
periodically download CSV from Foo's website accepting your browser's
defaults, and then run `hledger import checking.csv.rules` to import
any new transactions. The next time, if you have done no cleanup, your
browser will probably save it as something like Checking1-2.csv, and
hledger will still see that because of the * wild card. You can choose
whether to delete CSVs after import, or keep them for a while as
temporary backups, or archive them somewhere.
Inner empty lines were not being skipped automatically, contrary to
docs. Now all empty lines are skipped automatically, and the `skip`
rule is needed only for non-empty lines, as intended.
This may be a breaking change: it's possible that the `skip` count
might need to be adjusted in some CSV rules files.
Breaking change: previously timeclock descriptions could contain
semicolons. Now a semicolon in the description will end it and
start a comment (which may contain tags).
I found at least one user for whom this would be a breaking change
(they generate forecast txns, and have auto posting rules, but don't
want the latter applied to the former). I guess it's better to keep
things as they were for now: if you need auto postings on your
forecast txns you must use two flags, --forecast --auto.
Boolean queries are now prefixed with an 'expr:' prefix, making them
completely separable from old queries and making the addition of them a
little more migration proof.
The tests are updated accordingly, changes made to the tests previously
are removed and extra cautious documentation is also removed.
You can now write both @/@@ costs and corresponding equity conversion postings
in a transaction at any time, not just when using --infer-costs or --infer-equity.
hledger will recognise the redundancy and ignore it.
One thing has become more strict: hledger now requires conversion postings
to occur in adjacent pairs; an odd number of them is not allowed.
(Conversion postings are postings to accounts of type `V`/`Conversion`,
or named `equity:conversion`, `equity:trade`, `equity:trading`,
or subaccounts of these.)
And, --infer-costs now works in transactions with an implicit amount
(inferring costs from equity now happens after transaction balancing,
not before).
Previously, the accounts passed to account directives would be stripped
of their surrounding brackets, but the required behaviour is to have
account directives plain reject bracketed accounts. This change ensures
that accounts in account directives may not start with a bracket
character.
Currently an account name like "a:(aa)" will not have (aa) unbracketed.
However, this seems reasonable since the full name is unbracketed and
thus will not be confused with virtual or virtual-balanced posting.
"" is equivalent to writing no symbol.
But it's now possible to declare market prices for the no-symbol
commodity, which occurs eg with timedot data.
P 2022-01-01 "" $100
Hledger.Utils.Debug's "trace or log" functions are now controlled as
follows: to enable logging, append ",logging" to the program name at
startup (using withProgName). This also works when running in GHCI.
And they log to PROGNAME.log, not debug.log.
All (hopefully) debug logging in the hledger packages is now "trace or
log" capable.
This means that hledger-ui should now log all debug output to
./hledger-ui.log, with none of it appearing on the console.
Previously, CSV date-times with a different time zone from yours
(with or without explicit timezones in the CSV) could give off-by-one
dates, because the CSV timezone was ignored.
Now,
1. you can use the `timezone` rule to indicate which other
timezone a CSV is implicitly using
2. CSV date-times with a timezone - whether declared by rule or
parsed with %Z - are localised to the system time zone
(or another set with the TZ environment variable).
transaction prices.
When given --infer-costs, hledger will now separately infer transaction
prices for different prices. Given a pair of adjacent conversion
postings, hledger will check if there is a single posting with a
transaction price which matches both the amounts. If so, it associates
those conversion postings to that priced post.
If it can't find any transaction price postings which match, it will
find the first non-transaction price post which matches one of the two
amounts, and will add a transaction price to that, and associate them.
When given --infer-equity, hledger will change transaction prices to balancing equity postings. This introduces the inverse operation, --infer-costs, which will match balancing equity postings and transform them into a transaction price, allowing --cost to work properly with them. This is only a partial inverse as it needs to use some heuristics to match the postings which will not work in complicated cases.
Specifically, when hledger finds exactly two conversion postings in a transaction (by default, subaccounts of equity:conversion or equity:trad(e|ing)), it will find the first posting in the transaction whose amount is negative one of the conversion posting amounts, and inserts the corresponding transaction price.
May also fix#1154, #1033, #708, #536, #73: testing is needed.
This aims to solve all problems where misconfigured locales lead to
parsers failing on utf8-encoded data. This should hopefully avoid
encoding issues, but since it fundamentally alters how encoding is dealt
with it may lead to unexpected outcomes. Widespread testing on a number
of different platforms would be useful.
And remove the last vestiges of older more complex behaviour.
ordereddates now always checks all transactions in each file,
unaffected by a query. (But still affected by --date2).
parseAndFinaliseJournal' has been removed. In the unlikely event you
needed it in your code, you can replace it with:
parseAndFinaliseJournal' parser iopts fp t =>
initialiseAndParseJournal parser iopts fp t
>>= liftEither . journalApplyAliases (aliasesFromOpts iopts)
>>= journalFinalise iopts fp t
Some parsers have been generalised from JournalParser to TextParser.
This increases composability and avoids some ugly case handling. We
re-export runExceptT in Hledger.Read.
The final return types of the following functions has been changed from
IO (Either String a) to ExceptT String IO a. If this causes a problem,
you can get the old behaviour by calling runExceptT on the output:
readJournal, readJournalFiles, readJournalFile
Or, you can use the easy functions readJournal', readJournalFiles', and
readJournalFile', which assume default options and return in the IO
monad.
This requires checking parent accounts for any new accounts introduced by auto postings which do not exist in the original journal.
Also refactor journalFinalise to only call journalPostingsAddAccountTags once, and use fewer intermediate variables.
type:TYPES, where TYPES is any of the (case insensitive) letters
ALERXCV, matches accounts by their declared or inferred type.
(See https://hledger.org/hledger.html#account-types.)
This should work with most commands, eg:
hledger bal type:al
hledger reg type:x
API changes:
Journal has a new jaccounttypes map.
The journalAccountType lookup function makes it easy to check an account's type.
The journalTags and journalInheritedTags functions look up an account's tags.
Functions like journalFilterPostings and journalFilterTransactions,
and new matching functions matchesAccountExtra, matchesPostingExtra
and matchesTransactionExtra, use these to allow more powerful matching
that is aware of account types and tags.
Accounts, postings, and transactions can now all be filtered by the
tags in an account's declaration. In particular it's now possible to
more reliably select accounts by type, using their type: tag rather
than their name:
account myasset ; type:Asset
account myliability ; type:Liability
$ hledger accounts tag:type=^a
myasset
Accounts inherit tags from their parents.
API changes:
A finalised Journal has a new jdeclaredaccounttags field
for easy lookup of account tags.
Query.matchesTaggedAccount is a tag-aware version of matchesAccount.
directives.
Previously, you declare an account type with the following format:
account assets A
This has been deprecated since 1.13, and should now be declared with one
of:
account assets ; type:A
account assets ; type:asset
Introduce --infer-equity option which will generate conversion postings.
--cost will override --infer-equity.
This means there will no longer be unbalanced transactions, but will be
offsetting conversion postings to balance things out. For example.
2000-01-01
a 1 AAA @@ 2 BBB
b -2 BBB
When converting to cost, this is treated the same as before.
When used with --infer-equity, this is now treated as:
2000-01-01
a 1 AAA
equity:conversion:AAA-BBB:AAA -1 AAA
equity:conversion:AAA-BBB:BBB 2 BBB
b -2 BBB
There is a new account type, Conversion/V, which is a subtype of Equity/E.
The first account declared with this type, if any, is used as the base account
for inferred equity postings in conversion transactions, overriding the default
"equity:conversion".
API changes:
Costing has been changed to ConversionOp with three options:
NoConversionOp, ToCost, and InferEquity.
The first correspond to the previous NoCost and Cost options, while the
third corresponds to the --infer-equity flag. This converts transactions with costs
(one or more transaction prices) to transactions with equity:conversion postings.
It is in ConversionOp because converting to cost with -B/--cost and inferring conversion
equity postings with --infer-equity are mutually exclusive.
Correspondingly, the cost_ record of ReportOpts has been changed to
conversionop_.
This also removes show_costs_ option in ReportOpts, as its functionality
has been replaced by the richer cost_ option.
(SourcePos, SourcePos).
This has been marked for possible removal for a while. We are keeping
strictly more information. Possible edge cases arise with Timeclock and
CsvReader, but I think these are covered.
The particular motivation for getting rid of this is that
GenericSourcePos is creating some awkward import considerations for
little gain. Removing this enables some flattening of the module
dependency tree.
Hledger.Data.Balancing.
Both Hledger.Data.Transaction and Hledger.Data.Journal are massive
module with many things in them. Placing the balancing functions, which
are conceptually related, into a separate module helps keep things more
modular.
It also reduces the risk of import cycles, as right now balancing
functions cannot depend on any functions defined outside of
Hledger.Data.Transaction or Hledger.Data.Journal, respectively, if those
modules require basic transaction or journal functions.
rawOptsTo* in hledger-lib now takes a day as an argument, and does not
live in the IO monad, since it's now pure.
This is so that we can run tests containing future transactions that
won't fail as soon as ‘the future’ actually arrives.
The forecast period begins on:
- the start date supplied to the `--forecast` argument, if present
- otherwise, the later of
- the report start date if specified with -b/-p/date:
- the day after the latest normal (non-periodic) transaction in the journal, if any
- otherwise today.
It ends on:
- the end date supplied to the `--forecast` argument, if present
- otherwise the report end date if specified with -e/-p/date:
- otherwise 180 days (6 months) from today.
Note that the previous behaviour did not quite match the documentation,
so this also acts as a bug fix for #1665.
POSIXTime.
This eliminates old-time, which has been deprecated for a while, from
our dependencies.
This introduces a slight incompatibility, as a small number of functions
now take/return POSIXTime instead of ClockTime. Generally you will be
using the current time, in which case you should use getPOSIXTime from
Data.Time.Clock.POSIX instead of getClockTime.
utcTimeToClockTime has been removed, as it is now equivalent to
utcTimeToPOSIXSeconds from Data.Time.Clock.POSIX.
rather than as a postprocessing step. (#1638)
This allows us to have a uniform procedure for balancing transactions,
whether they are normal transactions or forecast transactions, including
dealing with balance assignments, balance assertions, and auto postings.
style amounts according to that argument. journalAddForecast and
journalTransform now return an Either String Journal.
This improves efficiency, as we no longer have to restyle all amounts in
the journal after generating auto postings or periodic transactions.
Changing the return type of journalAddForecast and journalTransform
reduces partiality.
To get the previous behaviour for modifyTransaction, use modifyTransaction mempty.
The only semantic difference is that we now apply
journalApplyCommodityStyles before running journalCheckAccountsDeclared
and journalCheckCommoditiesDeclared.
In Amount, aismultiplier is a boolean flag that will always be False,
except for in TMPostingRules, where it indicates whether the posting
rule is a multiplier. It is therefore unnecessary in the vast majority
of cases. This posting pulls this flag out of Amount and puts it into
TMPostingRule, so it is only kept around when necessary.
This changes the parsing of journals somewhat. Previously you could
include an * before an amount anywhere in a Journal, and it would
happily parse and set the aismultiplier flag true. This will now fail
with a parse error: * is now only acceptable before an amount within an
auto posting rule.
Any usage of the library in which the aismultiplier field is read or set
should be removed. If you truly need its functionality, you should
switch to using TMPostingRule.
This changes the JSON output of Amount, as it will no longer include
aismultiplier.
transactions are balanced possibly using explicit prices, but without
inferring any prices. This is included in --strict mode.
Renames check autobalanced to check balancedwithautoconversion.
instead of a list of Amounts. No longer export Mixed constructor, to
keep API clean (if you really need it, you can import it directly from
Hledger.Data.Types). We also ensure the JSON representation of
MixedAmount doesn't change: it is stored as a normalised list of
Amounts.
This commit improves performance. Here are some indicative results.

If you never directly use the constructor Mixed or pattern match against
it then you don't need to make any changes. If you do, then do the
following:
- If you really care about the individual Amounts and never normalise
your MixedAmount (for example, just storing `Mixed amts` and then
extracting `amts` as a pattern match, then use should switch to using
[Amount]. This should just involve removing the `Mixed` constructor.
- If you ever call `mixed`, `normaliseMixedAmount`, or do any sort of
amount arithmetic (+), (-), then you should replace the constructor
`Mixed` with the function `mixed`. To extract the list of Amounts, use
the function `amounts`.
- If you ever call `normaliseMixedAmountSquashPricesForDisplay`, you can
replace that with `mixedAmountStripPrices`. (N.B. this does something
slightly different from `normaliseMixedAmountSquashPricesForDisplay`,
but I don't think there's any use case for squashing prices and then
keeping the first of the squashed prices around. If you disagree let
me know.)
- Any remaining calls to `normaliseMixedAmount` can be removed, as that
is now the identity function.
Exceptions are for dealing with the pamount field, which is really just
dealing with an unnormalised list of amounts.
This creates an API for dealing with MixedAmount, so we never have to
access the internals outside of Hledger.Data.Amount.
Also remove a comment, since it looks like #1207 has been resolved.
supplant the old interface, which relied on the Num typeclass.
MixedAmount did not have a very good Num instance. The only functions
which were defined were fromInteger, (+), and negate. Furthermore, it
was not law-abiding, as 0 + a /= a in general. Replacements for used
functions are:
0 -> nullmixedamt / mempty
(+) -> maPlus / (<>)
(-) -> maMinus
negate -> maNegate
sum -> maSum
sumStrict -> maSum
Also creates some new constructors for MixedAmount:
mixedAmount :: Amount -> MixedAmount
maAddAmount :: MixedAmount -> Amount -> MixedAmount
maAddAmounts :: MixedAmount -> [Amount] -> MixedAmount
Add Semigroup and Monoid instances for MixedAmount.
Ideally we would remove the Num instance entirely.
The only change needed have nullmixedamt/mempty substitute for
0 without problems was to not squash prices in
mixedAmount(Looks|Is)Zero. This is correct behaviour in any case.
aquantity.
Journal entries still require a positive @@ price, but now the sign is
set after parsing, rather than when converting in amountToCost.
The reason for this change is that, if we're going to perform arithmetic
on Amount with TotalCost, then the presence of aquantity=0 means that
amountToCost would render the total cost as 0, because signum 0 == 0.
This makes journal entries like the following impossible to balance:
2000-01-01
a 0 @@ 10 A
b -10 A
simplifySign now covers a few more sign combinations that might arise.
And in particular, it strips a standalone sign with no number,
which simplifies sign flipping with amount-in/amount-out.
Error messages for these four are now a bit fancier and more
consistent. But not yet optimised for machine readability.
Cf #1436.
Added to hledger-lib: chomp1, linesPrepend[2].
Command-line account aliases now also affect transactions read
from these formats (not just journal format).
lib: journalApplyAliases, transactionApplyAliases, postingApplyAliases
helpers have been added.
Journal keeps a new piece of parsing state, a decimal mark character,
which can optionally be set to force the number format expected by all
amount parsers.
