This is an API change, but it seems better than having additional
colour-supporting variants and trying to avoid duplicated code.
I stopped short of changing showAmount, so cshowAmount still exists.
Periodic transactions were always on, which meant that periodic
transactions occurring today were always shown, in future or present
mode.
Now, both periodic transactions and display of future transactions are
controlled by --forecast, and toggleable by the F key ("forecast
mode"). The --future flag has been dropped (it still works as a hidden
alias for --forecast, but is deprecated).
It seemed to also make sense to leave auto postings off by default,
like hledger.
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.
When the transaction list changes, eg due to toggling a query filter,
and the previously selected item has disappeared, instead of moving
the selection to the end, we now select the nearest transaction by
date (and if several have the same date, by journal order).
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
Clarify the account transactions report, and don't change original transactions' dates.
Show a more accurate date in hledger-ui and hledger-web's account registers
when postings have their own dates. This is now called the "transaction register date":
the date which is displayed for that transaction in a register for some current account
and filter query. It is either the transaction date from the journal ("transaction general date"),
or if postings to the current account and matched by the register's filter query have
their own dates, the earliest of those dates.
