There are no modules which depend on Hledger.Data.Commodity which don't
also depend on Hledger.Data.Amount. Though Hledger.Data.Amount is a very
large module and might be broken up, Hledger.Data.Commodity only defines
three very small functions which are used, and so can be combined with
little cost.
The forecast period begins on:
- the start date supplied to the `--forecast` argument, if present
- otherwise, the later of
- the report start date if specified with -b/-p/date:
- the day after the latest normal (non-periodic) transaction in the journal, if any
- otherwise today.
It ends on:
- the end date supplied to the `--forecast` argument, if present
- otherwise the report end date if specified with -e/-p/date:
- otherwise 180 days (6 months) from today.
Note that the previous behaviour did not quite match the documentation,
so this also acts as a bug fix for #1665.
POSIXTime.
This eliminates old-time, which has been deprecated for a while, from
our dependencies.
This introduces a slight incompatibility, as a small number of functions
now take/return POSIXTime instead of ClockTime. Generally you will be
using the current time, in which case you should use getPOSIXTime from
Data.Time.Clock.POSIX instead of getClockTime.
utcTimeToClockTime has been removed, as it is now equivalent to
utcTimeToPOSIXSeconds from Data.Time.Clock.POSIX.
We can't filter out empty commodity strings since that is a legitimate
group. Simultaneously, we should only include the empty commodity if it
is explicitly used (part of a posting) and not generated as part of
`Amounts.amounts`
A gain report will report on unrealised gains by looking at the
difference between the valuation of an amount (by default, --value=end),
and the valuation of the cost of the amount.
This adds the `--commodity-column` option that displays each commodity
on a separate line and the commodities themselves as a separate column.
The initial design considerations are at

The single-period balance report with `--commodity-column` does not
interoperate with custom formats.
rather than as a postprocessing step. (#1638)
This allows us to have a uniform procedure for balancing transactions,
whether they are normal transactions or forecast transactions, including
dealing with balance assignments, balance assertions, and auto postings.
