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.
Renamed: writeValidJournal -> writeJournalTextIfValidAndChanged
Added comments clarifying line ending behaviour of:
add, import, appendToJournalFileOrStdout, readFilePortably,
writeFileWithBackupIfChanged, writeJournalTextIfValidAndChanged
Summary of current behaviour:
- hledger add and import commands will append with (at least some)
unix line endings, possibly causing the file to have mixed line
endings
- hledger-web edit and upload forms will write the file with
the current system's native line endings, ie changing all
line endings if the file previously used foreign line endings.
