The new entry effectively adds a loan which is placed in the checking account.
This loan is then closed by the "pay off" transaction (which was already
present).
This is mainly to be used as a test point for the -H option; to make
sure -H does not show empty accounts.
All previous tests were changed to reflect the new change.
The documentation of the journal module was updated too.
- 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
A transaction/posting status of ! (pending) was effectively equivalent
to * (cleared). Now it's a separate state, not matched by --cleared.
The new Ledger-compatible --pending flag matches it, and so does
--uncleared. The equivalent search queries are now status:*, status:!
and status: (the old status:1 and status:0 spellings are deprecated).
Since we interpret --uncleared and status: as "any state except cleared",
it's not currently possible to match things which are neither cleared
nor pending.
Previously, a depth:0 query produced an empty report (since there are no
level zero accounts). Now, it aggregates all data into one summary item
with account name "...".
This makes it easier to see the kind of data Gwern was looking for from
register-csv (net worth over time). Eg this shows one line per month
summarising the total of assets and liabilities:
hledger register-csv -- -MHE ^assets ^liabilities depth:0
Single and multi-column balance reports behave similarly.
The -A flag now enables -E, so that with a report interval the averages
are always per-period and not per-report-line. (Without a report
interval, -E is already the default).
Fix a refactoring-related regression that the tests missed: if
transactions were not ordered by date in the journal, register
could include postings before the report start date in the output.
We provided a very limited implementation of --display only for one use
case: to see an accurate running balance. Now that is achieved more easily
with -H/--historical, similar to the balance command, and --display
can be dropped.
As with balance. For example, register -p 'weekly in jan' generates
these intervals: 2013/12/30-2014/01/05, 2014/01/06-2014/01/12,
2014/01/13-2014/01/19, 2014/01/20-2014/01/26, 2014/01/27-2014/02/02.
With this change, postings on 2013/12/30-31 and 2014/2/1-2 will be
included in the report, so all period totals are complete and
comparable.
