The change for hledger 1.17.1 broke one of my csv rules, where I used
`amount` but then tried to override it with `amountN`s in a
conditional block; the two clashed. Now in that situation any
`amountN`s take precedence, causing `amount` to be ignored entirely.
Also clarified the "too many non-zero amounts" error message a bit.
Decimal 0.5.1+ changed to banker's rounding (round to nearest even
number), and math-functions 0.3.3.0 (used by roi) fixed various
precision-related issues. Now we require the latest versions of these.
This was causing some functional test failures when building with old
GHCs/snapshots.
A rewrite and simplification of the posting-generating code. The
"special handling for pre 1.17 rules" should now be less noticeable.
amount1/amount2 no longer force a second posting or explicit amounts
on both postings. (Only amount/amount-in/amount-out do that.)
Error messages and handling of corner cases may be more robust, also.
The include directive now tries just one reader, based on the file
extension and defaulting to journal, like the rest of hledger.
(It doesn't yet handle a reader prefix.)
Reader-finding utilities have moved from Hledger.Read to
Hledger.Read.JournalReader so the include directive can use them.
Reader changes:
- rExperimental flag removed
- old rParser renamed to rReadFn
- new rParser field provides the actual parser.
This seems to require making Reader a higher-kinded type, unfortunately.
For a long time hledger has auto-detected the file format when it's
not known, eg when reading from a file with unusual extension (like
.dat or .txt), or from standard input (-f-), or when using the include
directive (which currently ignores file extensions).
Auto-detecting has been done by trying all readers until one succeeds.
This could guess wrong in some cases, but it was so rare that it has
been working fine.
Recently, more conveniences have been added to timedot format,
increasing its overlap with journal format, which makes this kind of
auto-detection unreliable.
Auto-detection and auto-detection failures are (probably) still pretty
rare in practice. But when it does happen it's confusing, giving
misleading errors or false successes (eg printing timedot entries
instead of a journal error).
For predictability and to minimise confusion, hledger no longer tries
to guess; when there's no file extension or reader prefix, it assumes
journal format. To specify one of the other formats, you must use a
standard file extension (.timeclock, .timedot, .csv, .ssv, .tsv), or a
reader prefix (-f csv:foo.txt, -f timedot:-).
For now, the include directive still tries to autodetect
(journal/timeclock/timedot), and this can't be overridden; it will be
fixed later.
Experimental; testing and feedback welcome.
Now, org headlines before the first day entry are ignored,
regardless of content.
Note, blank lines inside a day entry are not allowed, currently.
It's now easier to be both valid journal and valid timedot at the same
time, so guessing the format of stdin is unreliable, and some tests
are failing. See following commit.
Amounts in JSON are now rendered as simple Numbers with up to 10
decimal places, instead of Decimal objects which would in some cases
have 255 digits, too many for most JSON parsers to handle.
A provisional fix, see the comment in Json.hs for more detail.
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.
