- 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".
Initial support of market value reporting and currency conversion,
similar in spirit to Ledger's. The balance command now has a -V/--value
flag that converts all the reported amounts using their "default market
price". That is the latest market price (P directive, formerly called
"historical prices") found in the journal for their commodity that is on
or before the report end date.
Unlike Ledger, hledger's -V only uses the market prices recorded with P
directives, ignoring transaction prices recorded as part of posting
amounts (which -B/--cost uses). Using -B and -V together is allowed.
Here are hpack package.yaml files for the other hledger cabal files.
These remove a lot of human-error-prone duplication.
They are not used yet as hpack isn't quite mature enough -
when it supports flags and benchmarks we will probably switch.
Drop deprecated shakespeare-text dependency for ghc 7.10+ consistently,
not just in one place. Hopefully this will clear the warning
at packdeps.haskellers.com.
The bench script invoked by cabal bench or stack bench now links the
benchmarked code directly, avoiding any dependence on the shell and
$PATH. Also, it reports the journal parse time and the various reports
on the parsed data separately, and runs quicker.
You can get more accurate benchmark times by running with --criterion.
This will usually give much the same numbers and takes much longer.
Benchmarking via simplebench is still available, by running with
--simplebench. In this mode it benchmarks whatever commands are
configured in bench/default.bench. A disadvantage is that it uses the
first "hledger" executable in $PATH, so check which one it reports.
A transaction/posting status of ! (pending) was effectively equivalent
to * (cleared). Now it's a separate state, not matched by --cleared.
The new Ledger-compatible --pending flag matches it, and so does
--uncleared. The equivalent search queries are now status:*, status:!
and status: (the old status:1 and status:0 spellings are deprecated).
Since we interpret --uncleared and status: as "any state except cleared",
it's not currently possible to match things which are neither cleared
nor pending.
The regex account aliases added in 0.24 trip up people switching between
hledger and Ledger. (Also they are currently slow).
This change makes the old non-regex aliases the default; they are
unsurprising, useful, and pretty close in functionality to Ledger's.
The new regex aliases are also available; they must be enclosed in
forward slashes. Ledger effectively ignores these, which is ok.
Also clarify docs, refactor, and use the same parser for alias
directives and alias options
