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
The account transactions report used for hledger-ui and -web registers
now gives either the "period total" or "historical total", depending
strictly on the --historical flag. It doesn't try to tell the user
whether the historical total is the accurate historical balance (which
depends on the report query).
- try to clarify naming and meaning of balance/register report modes
and kinds of "balance" displayed. Added balance --change and
register --cumulative flags to clarify report modes.
- with multiple --change/--cumulative/--historical flags use the last
instead of complaining
- register -A is now affected by -H
- options cleanups
Generated package.yaml files from the old cabal files with hpack-convert,
removed some problematic blank lines manually,
regenerated the cabal files from the package.yaml files with hpack.
Tests pass, looks like all the info is still there.
This means that from now on, we don't edit cabal files directly.
We edit the less verbose package.yaml files. stack will update
the cabal files automatically (or non-stack users can use hpack).
The changes to both are committed, as we still want to provide
the cabal files to downloaders.
hledger-ui now tries to show historical balances always, including
when (to limit transactions on the register screen) a report start date
is specified. This means that:
- the accounts screen balances are not disturbed by a start date
- the register screen is now a little better at showing the running
historical balance. It's still not very good at it; some filter
queries will cause it to fall back to showing the running total of
visible transactions. But it's no longer disturbed by Z (nonzero mode)
or a cur: query term.
-H/--historical now makes a single-column balance report with a start
date show historical balances reflecting earlier postings. This is
equivalent to specifying no start date, but it's more consistent.
The account transactions report (and eg hledger-ui's register screen) no
longer aborts showing historical balances when -E/--empty/nonzero mode
or cur: are in effect.
