title: The hledger project
|
||
|
|
author: Simon Michael
|
||
|
|
date: November 2016
|
||
|
|
status: stable, actively developed
|
||
|
|
...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
hledger is a set of cross-platform tools (and Haskell libraries) for
|
||
|
|
tracking money, time, or any other commodity using double-entry
|
||
|
|
accounting and a simple plain text file format.
|
||
|
|
hledger aims to be reliable and practical for daily use, and provides
|
||
|
|
command-line, curses-style and web interfaces. It is a largely
|
||
|
|
compatible Haskell reimplementation of John Wiegley's Ledger program.
|
||
|
|
hledger is released under GNU GPLv3+.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In November 2015, the immediate plans were to
|
||
|
|
improve docs and help,
|
||
|
|
improve parser speed and memory efficiency,
|
||
|
|
integrate a separate parser for Ledger files built by John Wiegley,
|
||
|
|
hledger-ui improvements,
|
||
|
|
and work towards the 1.0 release.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All but one of these goals have been achieved:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- docs have been reorganized, with more focussed manuals available in
|
||
|
|
multiple versions, formats and as built-in help
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- 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
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- the ledger4 parser is not yet integrated
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- hledger-ui has acquired many new features making it more useful
|
||
|
|
(file editing, filtering, historical/period modes, quick period browsing..)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- 1.0 has been released!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- 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
|
||
|
|
- we now support GHC 8 and GHC 7.10, dropping GHC 7.8 and 7.6 support.
|
||
|
|
(GHC 7.8 support requires a maintainer).
|
||
|
|
- hpack is now used for maintaining cabal files
|
||
|
|
- our benchmarking tool has been spun off as the quickbench package
|
||
|
|
- the hledger.org website is simpler, clearer, and more mobile-friendly
|
||
|
|
- a call for help was sent out last month, and contributor activity
|
||
|
|
has increased.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Future plans include:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- support the 1.0 release
|
||
|
|
- improve the website and docs
|
||
|
|
- grow the user & developer community
|
||
|
|
- clean up, automate, improve and scale our processes
|
||
|
|
- improve quality, reduce waste
|
||
|
|
- add the ledger4 parser
|
||
|
|
- add budget/goal-tracking features
|
||
|
|
- improve hledger-ui usability and features; live reloading
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
hledger is available from the hledger.org website, from Github,
|
||
|
|
Hackage, and Stackage, and is packaged for a number of systems
|
||
|
|
including Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Fedora, and NixOS.
