screen (#1556). Also really clear cost setting when doing so.
Since plog is no longer used anywhere, and tends to create bugs when it
is, we remove it.
transactions are balanced possibly using explicit prices, but without
inferring any prices. This is included in --strict mode.
Renames check autobalanced to check balancedwithautoconversion.
independently.
You can now combine costing and valuation, for example "--cost
--value=then" will first convert to costs, and then value according to
the "--value=then" strategy. Any valuation strategy can be used with or
without costing.
If multiple valuation and costing strategies are specified on the
command line, then if any of them include costing
(-B/--cost/--value=cost) then amounts will be converted to cost, and for
valuation strategy the rightmost will be used.
--value=cost is deprecated, but still supported and is equivalent to
--cost/-B. --value=cost,COMM is no longer supported, but this behaviour can be
achieved with "--cost --value=then,COMM".
querystring_.
This helps deal with tricky quoting issues, as we no longer have to make
sure everything is quoted properly before merging it into a string.
Periodic transactions were always on, which meant that periodic
transactions occurring today were always shown, in future or present
mode.
Now, both periodic transactions and display of future transactions are
controlled by --forecast, and toggleable by the F key ("forecast
mode"). The --future flag has been dropped (it still works as a hidden
alias for --forecast, but is deprecated).
It seemed to also make sense to leave auto postings off by default,
like hledger.
You may have transactions dated later than today, perhaps piped from
print --forecast or recorded in the journal, which you don't want to
see except when forecasting.
By default, we now hide future transactions, showing "today's balance".
This can be toggled with the F key, which is easier than setting a
date query. --present and --future flags have been added to set the
initial mode.
(Experimental. Interactions with date queries have not been explored.)
See the issue and linked mail list discussion. Ambiguity between the
uncleared state, and the "not cleared" --uncleared flag causes confusion
and friction. At this point it seems best to break with Ledger and
past hledger, pick a new name and drop --uncleared to put an end to it.
ie, when viewing a "current" period (the current day/week/month/quarter/year),
it will be moved to enclose the current date, if needed, whenever the system date changes.
accounts and register screens can now switch between "historical"
(default) and "period" modes
title header wording is clearer
quick help footer now indicates historical/period and tree/flat modes,
saving space in the title
help screen is more explanatory
the enter key has been reserved for later and is no longer an alias
for right/l
