"-" implies data from standard input so "string" is perhaps more
correct, but I think this is a harmless simplification and it
makes `files` output consistent when run by `run`.
Transaction and posting tags (and posting tags inherited from accounts)
are now converted safely to Beancount-compatible transaction and posting
metadata lines.
Previously depth-limiting was universal across all accounts, e.g. all
accounts are clipped to depth 2. However, sometimes you want certain
accounts clipped to a different depth than others, e.g. all expenses to
depth 3, while all assets to depth 2. This commit enables depth-limiting
to optionally include a regular expression, which limits the accounts it
applies to.
More than one depth limit can be passed, and they are applied to each
account name by the following rules:
- If one or more regular-expression depth limit applies, use the
most specific one
- If no regular-expression depth limits apply, and a flat depth limit is
supplied, use that
- Otherwise, do not do any depth limiting
For example, this will clip all accounts matching "assets" to depth 3,
all accounts matching "expenses" to depth 2, and all other accounts to
depth 1.
--depth assets=3 --depth expenses=2 --depth 1
Market prices are now shown using one line each,
the known prices are listed (forward / forward+reverse),
and the status of --infer-market-prices is shown.
- These special hidden tags, used internally, have been renamed:
- `_modified` -> `_modified-transaction`
- `_cost-matched` -> `_cost-posting`
- `_conversion-matched` -> `_conversion-posting`
- All special hidden tags now have a similarly-named visible tag,
and `--verbose-tags` now shows those more often, which is useful
when troubleshooting `--infer-equity`, `--infer-costs`,
or the matching of redundant costs and conversion postings.
- The `generated-posting:` tag added by `--infer-equity` is now valueless.
- The `modified-transaction:` tag added by `--auto` now appears on its own line.
The equity:conversion account, and its variations equity:trade(s) and equity:trading,
normally detected as V/Conversion type, now become ordinary E/Equity accounts
if some other account is declared as V/Conversion type.
This is motivated by the next commit, in which `check accounts` will
stop warning about conversion accounts and their subaccounts,
which means all of the above names and their subaccounts would remain
always exempt from strict account checking.
Now, if the user declares their own conversion account, those default
accounts will become controllable by account checking again.
Which at least reduces the allowlist a bit.
Hopefully this won't cause hassles.
--color now also works in a config file, like --pager, except for two
cases: it does not affect colouring of debug output, or the colouring
helpers used in the check recentassertions error message.
Older ghc versions should also still build cleanly (tested with 9.8 so far).
I don't like enabling CPP in so many modules but it's easier that
figuring out how to do it with base-compat; hopefully no noticeable
compilation impact.
