Attention, attention hledger-folk! Once again, Happy Hallowe'en.
After almost ten years of steady development, and one year since
our last major release, I am very pleased to announce..

hledger's 1.0 release! It's about time!

hledger (http://hledger.org) is a cross-platform program for tracking
money, time, or any other commodity using double-entry accounting
and a simple plain text file format.
Inspired by Ledger CLI, hledger provides command-line, curses
and web interfaces, and aims to be a reliable, practical tool
for daily use.

Notable changes since 0.27:

- the hledger.org website is simpler, clearer, and more mobile-friendly

- docs have been reorganized, with more focussed manuals available in
  multiple versions, formats and as built-in help

- we support the latest GHC (8 and 7.10), stackage snapshots, and
  libs.  (GHC 7.8 and 7.6 support are not currently supported,
  maintainers welcome.)

- hledger has migrated from parsec to megaparsec and from String to
  Text, parsers have been simplified, memory usage is ~30% less on
  large files, speed is slightly improved all around

- --pivot (group by arbitrary tag instead of account) and --anon
  (obfuscate account names) are now supported

- hledger-ui has acquired many new features making it more useful
  (file editing, filtering, historical/period modes, quick period
  browsing..)

- hledger-web is more robust and more mobile-friendly

- hledger-api, a simple web API server, has been added

- a new "timedot" file format allows retroactive/approximate time
  logging

- the project continues to grow. A call for help was sent out last
  month, and contributor activity is increasing

- a new website, http://plaintextaccounting.org, has been created as a
  portal and knowledge base for hledger, Ledger, beancount and related
  tools and practices.
