In Amount, aismultiplier is a boolean flag that will always be False,
except for in TMPostingRules, where it indicates whether the posting
rule is a multiplier. It is therefore unnecessary in the vast majority
of cases. This posting pulls this flag out of Amount and puts it into
TMPostingRule, so it is only kept around when necessary.
This changes the parsing of journals somewhat. Previously you could
include an * before an amount anywhere in a Journal, and it would
happily parse and set the aismultiplier flag true. This will now fail
with a parse error: * is now only acceptable before an amount within an
auto posting rule.
Any usage of the library in which the aismultiplier field is read or set
should be removed. If you truly need its functionality, you should
switch to using TMPostingRule.
This changes the JSON output of Amount, as it will no longer include
aismultiplier.
existing representation is small enough.
Previously the JSON representation of Decimal was rounded to 10 points
of precision before serialising. This sometimes results in an
unnecessary increase of precision.
It now uses the same JSON representation as Maybe Word8. This means that
the JSON serialisation is now broadly compatible with that used before the
commit f6fa76bba7, differing only in
how it handles numbers outside Word8 and that it can now produce null
for NaturalPrecision.
