| Demonstration:
Consider year-test.journal:
```
2015/02/01 first half
    expenses  $1
    assets
2015/07/01 second half
    expenses  $2
    assets
2016/02/01 first half
    expenses  $4
    assets
2016/07/01 second half
    expenses  $8
    assets
2017/02/01 first half
    expenses  $16
    assets
2017/07/01 second half
    expenses  $32
    assets
```
Year balances are good:
```
$ hledger balance -f year-test.journal -p yearly
Balance changes in 2015/01/01-2017/12/31:
          || 2015  2016  2017
==========++==================
 assets   ||  $-3  $-12  $-48
 expenses ||   $3   $12   $48
----------++------------------
          ||    0     0     0
```
Note how first transaction in 2015 is not included. Note that this is old period expression, so this bug exsits in master:
```$ hledger balance -f year-test.journal -p 'every 2nd day of month'

Note how 2015 is absent entirely. This is new expression, but i think that general nature of bug is the same...

hledger
lightweight, portable, dependable accounting tools
hledger is a computer program for easily tracking money, time, or other commodities, on unix, mac and windows (and web-capable mobile devices, to some extent).
It is first a command-line tool, but there are also curses-style and web interfaces, and a Haskell library (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-lib) for building your own programs and scripts (hledger is written in Haskell). hledger was inspired by and is largely compatible with Ledger. hledger is free software available under the GNU General Public License v3+.
hledger aims to help both computer experts and regular folks to gain clarity and control in their finances and time management, but currently it is a bit more suited to techies. I use it every day to:
- track spending and income
- see time reports by day/week/month/project
- get accurate numbers for client billing and tax filing
- track invoices
Though limited in features, hledger is lightweight, usable and reliable. For some, it is a simpler, less distracting, more future-proof alternative to Quicken or GnuCash.
