You can now toggle showing only cleared items in the accounts and
register screens, with C (like the command-line flag).
The f key has been changed to F for consistency (we don't have this as a
command-line flag, though we could, though Ledger uses it for something
different).
Screen titles have been tweaked, eg switching the cyan and yellow.
Screen help has been squeezed to fit better in 80 columns.
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.
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".
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
