hledger news ============ 2009/06/13 hledger 0.6 ...................... * now cabal-installable on unix, mac, and windows, with Haskell Platform * provide experimental platform binaries * parsing: fix a silly failure to open ledger file paths containing ~ * parsing: show better errors for unbalanced transaction and missing default year * parsing: allow parentheses and brackets inside account names, as ledger does * parsing: fail on empty account name components, don't just ignore * add: description passed as arguments now affects first transaction only * add: better handling of virtual postings and default amounts * print, register: show virtual accounts bracketed/parenthesised * web: improved web ui supporting full patterns & period expressions * new "stats" command reports some ledger statistics * many dev/doc/deployment infrastructure improvements * move website into darcs repo, update home page * move issue tracker to google code Release stats: * Contributors: Simon Michael * Days since last release: 21 * Commits: 94 * Lines of non-test code: 2865 * Tests: 82 * Test coverage: 53% expressions * Known errors: 3 (inconsistent eliding, vty-related failures) * Performance: similar (http://hledger.org/profs/200906131120.bench) 2009/05/23 hledger 0.5.1 ................................. * two fixes: really disable vty flag by default, and include ConvertCommand in cabal file 2009/05/23 hledger 0.5 ............................... * the vty flag is disabled by default again, to ease installation on windows * use ledger 3 terminology: a ledger contains transactions which contain postings * new "add" command prompts for transactions interactively and adds them to the ledger * new "convert" command transforms bank CSV exports to ledger format, with rule-based cleanup * new "histogram" command shows transaction counts per day or other reporting interval * most commands now work properly with UTF8-encoded text (Sergey Astanin) * invoking as "hours" is now less different: it just uses your timelog, not your ledger * ..quarterly/-Q option summarises by quarter * ..uncleared/-U option looks only at uncleared transactions * be more accurate about checking balanced amounts, don't rely on display precision * enforce balancing for bracketed virtual postings * fix bug in eliding of posting amounts * don't show trailing spaces on amountless postings * parse null input as an empty ledger * don't treat comments as part of transaction descriptions * require some postings in ledger transactions * require a non-empty description in ledger transactions * don't fail when matching an empty pattern, as in "not:" * make the web server handle the null path * code, api and documentation updates * add a contributor agreement/list Release stats: * Contributors: Simon Michael, Sergey Astanin * Days since last release: 51 * Commits: 101 * Lines of non-test code: 2795 * Tests: 76 * Known errors: 0 * Performance: .. || hledger-0.4 | hledger-0.5 | ledger =========================++=============+=============+======= -f sample.ledger balance || 0.01 | 0.01 | 0.06 -f 1000.ledger balance || 1.33 | 1.46 | 0.53 -f 10000.ledger balance || 15.28 | 16.35 | 4.67 2009/04/03 hledger 0.4 ............................... * new "web" command serves reports in a web browser (install with -f happs to build this) * make the vty-based curses ui a cabal build option, which will be ignored on MS windows * drop the ..options-anywhere flag, that is now the default * patterns now use not: and desc: prefixes instead of ^ and ^^ * patterns are now case-insensitive, like ledger * !include directives are now relative to the including file (Tim Docker) * "Y2009" default year directives are now supported, allowing m/d dates in ledger * individual transactions now have a cleared status * unbalanced entries now cause a proper warning * balance report now passes all ledger compatibility tests * balance report now shows subtotals by default, like ledger 3 * balance report shows the final zero total when -E is used * balance report hides the final total when ..no-total is used * ..depth affects print and register reports (aggregating with a reporting interval, filtering otherwise) * register report sorts transactions by date * register report shows zero-amount transactions when -E is used * provide more convenient timelog querying when invoked as "hours" * multi-day timelog sessions are split at midnight * unterminated timelog sessions are now counted. Accurate time reports at last! * the test command gives better ..verbose output * ..version gives more detailed version numbers including patchlevel for dev builds * new make targets include: ghci, haddocktest, doctest, unittest, view-api-docs * a doctest-style framework for functional/shell tests has been added Release stats: * Contributors: Simon Michael, Tim Docker; thanks to the HAppS, happstack and testpack developers * Days since release: 76 * Commits: 144 * Lines of non-test code: 2367 * Tests: 56 * Known errors: 0 * Performance: .. || hledger-0.3 | hledger-0.4 | ledger-0.3 ==============================++=============+=============+=========== -f sample.ledger balance || 0.02 | 0.01 | 0.07 -f sample1000.ledger balance || 1.02 | 1.39 | 0.53 -f sample10000.ledger balance || 12.72 | 14.97 | 4.63 2009/01/17 hledger 0.3 ............................... * count timelog sessions on the day they end, like ledger, for now * when options are repeated, use the last instead of the first * builds with ghc 6.10 as well as 6.8 * a simple ui for interactive report browsing: hledger ui * accept smart dates everywhere (YYYYMMDD, Y/M/D, Y, M/D, D, jan, today, last week etc.) * ..period/-p flag accepting period expressions like "in 2008", "weekly from last month".. * -W/-M/-Y convenience flags to summarise register weekly, monthly, yearly * ..depth and -E flags also affect summarised register reports (including depth=0) * ..display/-d flag supporting date predicates (like "d<[DATE]", "d>=[DATE]") * !include directive to include additional ledger files * !account directive to set a default parent account * Added support for reading historical prices from files * timelog and ledger entries can be intermixed in one file * modifier and periodic entries can appear anywhere (but are still ignored) * help and readme improvements * runs much faster than 0.2 Release stats: * Contributors: Simon Michael, Nick Ingolia, Tim Docker; thanks to Corey O'Connor & the vty team * Lines of non-test code: 2123 * Tests: 58 * Known errors: 1 * Performance: .. $ bench hledger-0.2 hledger ledger || hledger-0.2 | hledger | ledger ==================================++=============+=========+======= -f 2008.ledger -s balance || 2.59 | 0.26 | 0.11 -f 10000entries.ledger -s balance || 566.68 | 2.72 | 0.96 2008/11/23 hledger 0.2 ............................... * fix balance report totals when filtering by account * fix balance report selection of accounts when filtering by account * fix a bug with account name eliding in balance report * if we happen to be showing a not-yet-auto-balanced entry, hide the AUTO marker * fix print command filtering by account * omit transactions with zero amount from register report * Fix bug in parsing of timelogs * rename ..showsubs to ..subtotal, like ledger * drop ..usage flag * don't require quickcheck * priced amounts (eg "10h @ $50") and ..basis/..cost/-B flag to show them with cost basis * easy ..depth option, equivalent to c++ ledger's -d 'l<=N' * smarter y/m/d date parsing for -b and -e (any number of digits, month and day default to 1, separator can be / - or .) * -n flag for balance command * ..empty/-E flag * build a library, as well as the exe * new home page url (http://joyful.com/hledger) * publish html and pdf versions of README * detect display preferences for each commodity like c++ ledger * support amounts with multiple currencies/commodities * support ..real/-R flag * support -C/..cleared flag to filter by entry status (not transaction status) * support virtual and balanced virtual transactions * parse comment lines beginning with a space, as from M-; in emacs ledger-mode * allow any non-whitespace in account names, perhaps avoiding misleading missing amounts errors * clearer error message when we can't balance an entry * when we fail because of more than one missing amount in an entry, show the full entry * document the built-in test runner in ..help * add a ..verbose/-v flag, use it to show more test-running detail Release stats: * Contributors: Simon Michael, Tim Docker * Lines of non-test code: 1350 * Tests: 43 * Known errors: 0 2008/10/15 hledger 0.1 ...............................
