You may have transactions dated later than today, perhaps piped from
print --forecast or recorded in the journal, which you don't want to
see except when forecasting.
By default, we now hide future transactions, showing "today's balance".
This can be toggled with the F key, which is easier than setting a
date query. --present and --future flags have been added to set the
initial mode.
(Experimental. Interactions with date queries have not been explored.)
Builtin commands are now gathered more tightly in a single module,
Hledger.Cli.Commands, reducing duplication and facilitating change.
The tests command was difficult and has been dropped for now.
The obsolete convert/info/man commands have been dropped.
cli: refactor: a proper commands list, better Main/Commands separation
The legacy "convert" command has been dropped.
The activity command's module is now named consistently.
In the accounts and register screens:, you can now scroll down further
so that the last item need not always be shown at the bottom of the screen.
Also we now try to center the selected item in the following situations:
- after moving to the end with Page down/End
- after toggling filters (status, real, historical..)
- on pressing the control-l key (should force a screen redraw, also)
- on entering the register screen from the accounts screen (there's a
known problem with this: it doesn't work the first time).
Items near the top of the list can't be centered, as we don't scroll
higher than the top of the list.
See the issue and linked mail list discussion. Ambiguity between the
uncleared state, and the "not cleared" --uncleared flag causes confusion
and friction. At this point it seems best to break with Ledger and
past hledger, pick a new name and drop --uncleared to put an end to it.
ie, when viewing a "current" period (the current day/week/month/quarter/year),
it will be moved to enclose the current date, if needed, whenever the system date changes.
Previously it would check the modification time and reload only if
it looked newer than the last reload. But this could get confused
somehow by fsnotify events, such that there were unloaded changes
on disk yet pressing g did nothing.
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
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.
