price directives after the last transaction/posting date if using
--value=end.
Also enlarges the reportspan to encompass full intervals for budget
goals.
For clarity; infer-value was too vague. The old spelling remains
supported for compatibility, but is now deprecated.
When typing, --infer-market or even --infer (for now) is sufficient.
Since this is option is now just an alias for -B/--cost, and since it
may be removed soon, we make it undocumented, though it will still
behave as before. --value=cost,COMM is unsupported as well.
independently.
You can now combine costing and valuation, for example "--cost
--value=then" will first convert to costs, and then value according to
the "--value=then" strategy. Any valuation strategy can be used with or
without costing.
If multiple valuation and costing strategies are specified on the
command line, then if any of them include costing
(-B/--cost/--value=cost) then amounts will be converted to cost, and for
valuation strategy the rightmost will be used.
--value=cost is deprecated, but still supported and is equivalent to
--cost/-B. --value=cost,COMM is no longer supported, but this behaviour can be
achieved with "--cost --value=then,COMM".
costing and valuation.
This currently is given a dummy NoCost argument and is equivalent to
"maybe id (*ApplyValuation ...)", but provides a constant interface so
that internal behaviour can be changed freely.
Also adds a postingDate argument to amountApplyValuation, and re-orders
the ValuationType and (Transaction/Posting) arguments to
(transaction/posting)ApplyValuation, to be consistent with
amountApplyValuation.
A "hledger check" argument may now be a quoted string containing
the check name followed by space-separated arguments, for
checks which make use of those. This means the check command
can replicate "check-dates --unique" and (in principle)
"check-fancyassertions ASSERTIONS..". Eg:
hledger check "dates --unique"
I think it'll be better for checks to take no arguments or options,
so this is probably just a transitional feature for compatibility.
querystring_.
This helps deal with tricky quoting issues, as we no longer have to make
sure everything is quoted properly before merging it into a string.
This changes showMixedAmountElided so that the width to elide to is
given as an argument, rather than fixed at 22 characters. This
actually uses the new renderTable interface. Mostly this is just an
internal change, but since we have more information about the widths
of things, we can actually get rid of some superfluous spaces in the
budget report output, previously there to make sure it stayed aligned
with the largest reasonable contents.
This gives renderTable a little more customisation. Before any of the
commits of this PR, render would just receive a string to display in
each cell. After the second commit of this PR it would also receive a
width of the string (in place of stripping ANSI sequences and then
calculating the width). After this commit, it now also takes an
alignment, so you can make cells left or right aligned. The function
render calls renderTable with appropriate options to give the same
behaviour as before. Also, previously render would always put a border
around the table. We would take this output, and would sometimes strip
the border by dropping the first and last rows, and first and last
characters of every row. I've just added an option to control whether
to put the border in, so we can just not add it in the first place,
rather than stripping it later. Note that this is again just defining
helper functions; this extra power is not yet used anywhere.
