Tags and types declared in account directives in sibling files or
included files are now combined more carefully.
In particular, when merging two Journals into one,
- jdeclaredaccounttags and jdeclaredaccounttypes no longer lose information;
any duplicated/conflicting tag/type values are preserved.
- jaccounttypes now prefers the last type declared in case of
conflict, not the first.
Like we used to in 1.30, but better (show all available decimal digits,
unless they're infinite in which case show 8, show trailing zeros,
show commodity symbol with zero).
Note the headErr/tailErr calls will print stack traces if they fail
(small ones: five lines, one of which is the useful location info),
which may or may not be best UX.
The previous #2153 fix used accountNameTreeFrom, but it turns out this
has always had O(n^2) performance, so our tests with 10k accounts ran
even slower than before. Now it's faster, the main #2153 slowdown
should really be fixed, and other commands which build an account tree
should also be free of this slowdown when there are very many accounts.
When processing costs and equity postings in transactions during
journal finalisation, we now pass just the conversion account name(s)
rather than the entire map of account types. This slowdown was severe
for some users/data/machines.
The code is a bit clearer, and it no longer discards amounts other
than the first when the running balance contains multiple costs.
(This bug was exposed by the fix for #2039).
They are `balances:` for assertion transactions,
`retain:` for retained earnings transactions,
and `start` for opening/closing transactions.
And some --help cleanups.
Hledger.Utils.Debug.traceOrLog was logging when it should trace and vice versa.
This affected a warning which Hledger.Data.Valuation.pricesShortestPath
should display if encountering a pathologically long (>1000) price chain.
Also note some oddities about that warning.
The hledger-web tests have been cleaned up and now allow more testing
of command line options like (though still not everything).
Note tests now run the app listening on its default host and port,
127.0.0.1 and 5000, instead of "any IPv4 or IPv6 hostname" and 3000.
This would seem to mean hledger-web tests can conflict more with
things running on port 5000, eg a normal hledger-web instance, but I
haven't been able to reproduce it.
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.)
Now using type: in account declarations or generating t: with timedot
letters won't cause the `tags` check to fail.
If a user declares any of these explicitly with a tag directive,
it does not cause an error.
Rationale:
To satisfy the recentassertions check I'm often filling in a bunch of
placeholder balance assertions, copy/pasting the correct amount from
the balance assertion failure messages. In this situation the
difference just repeats the amount in the line above, with opposite
sign, which makes it harder for me to interpret the message and to
copy-paste the right amount. And more generally I think showing the
difference isn't really necessary.
- omit balance assertions
- replace more currency symbols, and match within symbols like C$
- do more account validation, and error if conversion is too hard
- backslash-escape double quotes and backslashes in payee and note
That 1.31 change was advertised as being for the print command only,
but it affected all commands. Now it affects only print and other
"print-like" commands (ie all commands that show whole journal entries
that we might want to re-parse).
Also three classes of hledger output, and how they modify the
commodity display styles' digit group marks and decimal marks
to suit different consumers, have been identified and documented
(under REPORTING CONCEPTS).
With valuation now preserving more decimal digits, roi could show
excessively precise decimals if there was no known display precision
for the valuation commodity. Now in that situation it limits the
precision to a maximum of 8 digits.
