This allows us to guarantee that the report periods are well-formed and
don't contain errors (e.g. empty spans, spans not contiguous, spans not
a partition).
Note the underlying representation is now for disjoint spans, whereas
previously the end date of a span was equal to the start date of the
next span, and then was adjusted backwards one day when needed.
This upgrades Account to enable it to store a multiperiod balance, with
a separate balance for each date period. This enables it do the hard
work in MultiBalanceReport.
Some new types are created to enable convenient operation of accounts.
- `BalanceData` is a type which stores an exclusive balance, inclusive
balance, and number of postings. This was previously directly stored
in Account, but is now factored into a separate data type.
- `PeriodData` is a container which stores date-indexed data, as well as
pre-period data. In post cases, this represents the report spans,
along with the historical data.
- Account becomes polymorphic, allowing customisation of the type of
data it stores. This will usually be `BalanceData`, but in
`BudgetReport` it can use `These BalanceData BalanceData` to store
both actuals and budgets in the same structure. The data structure
changes to contain a `PeriodData`, allowing multiperiod accounts.
Some minor changes are made to behaviour for consistency:
- --declared treats parent accounts consistently.
- --flat --empty ensures that implied accounts with no postings are not displayed, but
accounts with zero balance and actual postings are.
Parent accounts with no actual or goal amounts would ideally be shown
elided on the same line, but the budget report in tree mode was
omitting them completely. Now --budget always shows them.
The effect is much like forcing --no-elide on, except it might not
show goal amounts that --no-elide does show.
It's not a wonderful fix, but the budget report code is twisty and I
can't afford to spend more time on this.
When reports want to render amounts without commmodity symbols,
they must now use AmountDisplayOpts' new displayCommodity flag.
(Previously it was a side effect of setting displayCommodityOrder.)
Introduce --infer-equity option which will generate conversion postings.
--cost will override --infer-equity.
This means there will no longer be unbalanced transactions, but will be
offsetting conversion postings to balance things out. For example.
2000-01-01
a 1 AAA @@ 2 BBB
b -2 BBB
When converting to cost, this is treated the same as before.
When used with --infer-equity, this is now treated as:
2000-01-01
a 1 AAA
equity:conversion:AAA-BBB:AAA -1 AAA
equity:conversion:AAA-BBB:BBB 2 BBB
b -2 BBB
There is a new account type, Conversion/V, which is a subtype of Equity/E.
The first account declared with this type, if any, is used as the base account
for inferred equity postings in conversion transactions, overriding the default
"equity:conversion".
API changes:
Costing has been changed to ConversionOp with three options:
NoConversionOp, ToCost, and InferEquity.
The first correspond to the previous NoCost and Cost options, while the
third corresponds to the --infer-equity flag. This converts transactions with costs
(one or more transaction prices) to transactions with equity:conversion postings.
It is in ConversionOp because converting to cost with -B/--cost and inferring conversion
equity postings with --infer-equity are mutually exclusive.
Correspondingly, the cost_ record of ReportOpts has been changed to
conversionop_.
This also removes show_costs_ option in ReportOpts, as its functionality
has been replaced by the richer cost_ option.
This allows more control over how multicommodity amounts are displayed.
In addition to the default single-line display, and the recent commodity
column display, we now have multi-line display. This is controlled by
the --layout option, which has possible values "wide", "tall", and
"bare". The --commodity-column option has been hidden, but is equivalent
to --layout=bare.
squash
We can't filter out empty commodity strings since that is a legitimate
group. Simultaneously, we should only include the empty commodity if it
is explicitly used (part of a posting) and not generated as part of
`Amounts.amounts`
This makes it possible to keep multiple named budgets in one journal,
and select the one you want with --budget's argument.
More precisely, you can select the subset of periodic transactions
rules which contain a certain fixed, case-insensitive substring.
Only one such --budget argument is supported, the last one on the
command line takes precedence.
This is done to be more consistent with future field naming conventions,
and to make automatic generation of lenses simpler. See discussion in
\#1545.
rsOpts -> _rsReportOpts
rsToday -> _rsDay
rsQuery -> _rsQuery
rsQueryOpts -> _rsQueryOpts
transactions are balanced possibly using explicit prices, but without
inferring any prices. This is included in --strict mode.
Renames check autobalanced to check balancedwithautoconversion.
Exceptions are for dealing with the pamount field, which is really just
dealing with an unnormalised list of amounts.
This creates an API for dealing with MixedAmount, so we never have to
access the internals outside of Hledger.Data.Amount.
Also remove a comment, since it looks like #1207 has been resolved.
