The journal/timeclock/timedot parsers, instead of constructing (opaque)
journal update functions which are later applied to build the journal,
now construct the journal directly (by modifying the parser state). This
is easier to understand and debug. It also removes any possibility of
the journal updates being a space leak. (They weren't, in fact memory
usage is now slightly higher, but that will be addressed in other ways.)
Also:
Journal data and journal parse info have been merged into one type (for
now), and field names are more consistent.
The ParsedJournal type alias has been added to distinguish being-parsed
and finalised journals.
Journal is now a monoid.
stats: fixed an issue with ordering of include files
journal: fixed an issue with ordering of included same-date transactions
timeclock: sessions can no longer span file boundaries (unclocked-out
sessions will be auto-closed at the end of the file).
expandPath now throws a proper IO error (and requires the IO monad).
Commit 0a90ef4 a few weeks ago caused hledger-ui to show wrong balances
after reloading with the g key, if the journal had changed and you had
specified a query on the command line.
Now, journalReloadIfChanged reloads the full journal without filtering,
like journalReload and withJournalDo.
The hledger package tarball now contains a copy of the generated docs
from all the other packages, so that it can build without being in a
source tree.
We now parse account directives, like Ledger's. We don't do anything
with them yet. The default parent account feature must now be spelled
"apply account"/"end apply account".
Since commit 7aab544, "-f -" before the command broke command
detection, causing spurious "no such option" errors (and breaking
about 70 functional tests which neither I nor travis noticed).
Amount display style canonicalisation code and terminology has been
clarified a bit. Individual amounts still have styles; from these we
derive the standard "commodity styles". In user docs, we might call
these "commodity formats" since a Ledger-compatible commodity directive
would use the "format" keyword.
Simple (non-multicolumn) balance reports containing wide characters
should now align correctly (in apps and fonts that show wide chars as
double width). Likewise, the print command.
Wide characters, eg chinese/japanese/korean characters, are typically
rendered wider than latin characters. In some applications (eg gnome
terminal or osx terminal) and fonts (eg monaco) they are exactly double
width. This is a start at making hledger aware of this. A register
report containing wide characters (in descriptions, account names, or
commodity symbols) should now align its columns correctly, when viewed
with a suitable font and application.
This was originally an add-on I used to guess account names for
ledger-autosync. It's nice for quickly looking up a recent transaction
with a guessed or partial description.
In some cases (when the same letter pair was repeated) it was not
picking the post similar past transaction. This was due to the
similarity algorithm using the order-dependent Data.List.intersect, when
it should use Set.intersection.
Also added a reference for the algorithm, which is known as the
Sørensen–Dice coefficient.
Make these modules' names more like the heavily-used types they
define (CliOpts, UIOpts, WebOpts). This is consistent with
RawOptions and ReportOptions, and helps with code navigation.
- register screen:
- smarter width-sensitive layout, with multi-commodity amounts on one line
- items are sorted in date order
- jumps to the latest item by default, with consistent scroll position
- more prerendering, might speed up movement/paging slightly
- themes! --theme to select, --help to list (current themes: default, terminal, greenterm)
- border tweaks - dropped side borders, added side padding
hledger-ui (formerly hledger-vty) is now built on brick, a new
declarative UI layer built on vty. This brings much new power, and
should make the UI much easier to grow and maintain.
At this point, functionality and performance are similar to the old
version. There's no journal entries screen, but entering the postings
screen jumps to the latest posting, and layout is better (multiple
commodities are rendered on one line).
Requires unreleased brick from github (HEAD or some branch) for now.
The balance command's --format option (in single-column mode) can now
adjust the rendering of multi-line strings, such as amounts with multiple
commodities. To control this, begin the format string with one of:
%_ - renders on multiple lines, bottom-aligned (the default)
%^ - renders on multiple lines, top-aligned
%, - render on one line, comma-separated
Also the final total (and the line above it) now adapt themselves to a
custom format.
The --format option's OutputFormat type was named confusingly like the
--output-format option. It has been renamed StringFormat to distinguish
it from StorageFormat (aka the data file format, referenced by
--output-format). Related code and types have been consolidated.
Also the (single-column) balance report's item rendering has had
some cleanup.
Simpler and clearer. We now have "transaction prices" (recorded as part
of transaction amounts) and "market prices" (recorded with P
directives). Both are matters of historical record, also this avoids
confusion with the balance command's "historical balances".
