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.
When rendering register or aregister reports, calculate the amount /
balance width based on the first 100 items, and start rendering in that
way. If you encounter a longer one, update and continue rendering. This
will result in adjustment of column width for long reports, but allows
us to save a lot more performant/efficient.
This can be disabled with the new --align-all flag.
We also only render each amount once, rather than twice as before, by
storing the rendered amount in a tuple.
total prices. (#1813)
Also reduce duplication for inferring market prices (previously it was
done separately in both Hledger.Data.Journal and
Hledger.Cli.Commands.Prices), and remove *TotalPriceToUnitPrice
functions, since unit prices cannot represent all total prices.
Add a helper function numDigitsInt to get the number of digits in an
integer, which has a surprising number of ways to get it wrong.
^assets?(:.+)?:(cash|bank|che(ck|que?)(ing)?|savings?|current)(:|$)
This should have no effect outside the cash report.
The rule for auto-detecting "Cash" (liquid assets) from account names
has changed in this release - see [Account types]. This is to simplify
how account types are detected and configured. If you use the cashflow
report without explicitly declaring accounts as Cash, you might notice a
change, and might need to add explicit account type: tags.
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
parsers to allow for arbitrary numbers of periods in relative dates.
We now accept smart dates like “in 5 days, 5 weeks ahead, in -6 months, 2 quarters ago”.
