* Replace Parsec with Megaparsec (see #289)
This builds upon PR #289 by @rasendubi
* Revert renaming of parseWithState to parseWithCtx
* Fix doctests
* Update for Megaparsec 5
* Specialize parser to improve performance
* Pretty print errors
* Swap StateT and ParsecT
This is necessary to get the correct backtracking behavior, i.e. discard
state changes if the parsing fails.
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.
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".
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.
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
Refactored and enhanced the --width option used by register (and other
commands in future). register now uses the full terminal width by
default except on windows. Specifically, the output width is set from:
1. a --width option
2. or a COLUMNS environment variable (NB: not the same as a bash shell var)
3. or on POSIX (non-windows) systems, the current terminal width
4. or the default, 80 characters.
Also, register now accepts a description column width as part of
--width's argument, comma-separated (--width W,D). This adjusts the
relative widths of register's description and account columns, which are
normally about half of (W-40):
<--------------------------------- width (W) ---------------------------------->
date (10) description (D) account (W-41-D) amount (12) balance (12)
DDDDDDDDDD dddddddddddddddddddd aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa AAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAA
Examples:
$ hledger reg # use terminal width on posix
$ hledger reg -w 100 # width 100, equal description/account widths
$ hledger reg -w 100,40 # width 100, wider description
$ hledger reg -w $COLUMNS,100 # terminal width and set description width
-N doesn't seem to be used by Ledger currently; we'll
use it as shortcut for --no-total.
-T is used by Ledger to set a custom value expression for the final
total. I'm going to take it as a shortcut for --row-total instead.
A status: query term no longer accepts * as a synonym for 1,
which was a bit confusing since 1 matches both * and !.
For now, it takes a value of 1 (true) or anything else (false).
NOTE: this is important to correctly build JournalContext
NOTE: currently a list reverse must done at the end,
maybe using a Data.Queue would be more efficient.
Use two options and less surprising behaviour. Notes:
* a recognised suffix on the output file name can set the format
* but --output-format always wins
* -o - means stdout
* currently these are command-specific options on balance, print, register
* later, --output-file should become a global option
* and --output-format should be available at least on all commands which
support multiple formats. Each command may support a different set of
output formats, which should be listed in its command line help.
