Income, liability and equity balances, which until now we have
always displayed as negative numbers, are now shown as normally positive
by these reports.
Negative numbers now indicate a contra-balance (eg an overdrawn
checking account), a net loss, a negative net worth, etc.
This makes these reports more like conventional financial statements,
and easier to read and share with normal people.
For multi-column balance report, if there are no transactions in the
given period for budgeted account, display [0% of <budget>] for
consistency.
If balance is a mix of commodities, convert to cost basis for the
purposes of computing percent of balance spent.
Budget goals specified with periodic transactions (as with
hledger-budget) can now be displayed in balance report (but not in bs/is/cf).
--budget shows the target amount and percentage alongside the actual
amount, per account and period.
Unbudgeted accounts will be hidden, unless --show-unbudgeted is used.
Budgeted accounts are displayed folded (depth-clipped) at a depth
matching the budget specification. Unbudgeted accounts, if shown, are
displayed at their usual depth (in full detail, or according to --depth).
Ledger-style automated postings, previously supported only by
hledger-budget, have landed as a first-class feature. The --auto
flag activates them, so that any postings they generate are
included in reports.
Ledger-style periodic transactions, previously supported only by
hledger-budget, have landed as a first-class feature. The --forecast
flag activates them, so that any transactions they generate are
included in reports.
Compound balance commands like these can now be aware of normal account
balance sign, and sort negative balances accordingly.
This also adds utility-ht as a dependency, only for the uncurry function
right now but it looks potentially useful to have.
