I'm pleased to announce hledger 0.27!
|
||||
Attention, attention hledger-folk! Once again, Happy Hallowe'en. After
|
||||
almost 10 years of steady development, I am very pleased to announce:
|
||||
hledger's 1.0 release!
|
||||
|
||||
hledger is a cross-platform program for tracking money, time, or any
|
||||
other commodity, using double-entry accounting and a simple, editable
|
||||
file format. It can also read CSV or timelog files, and export CSV.
|
||||
It provides command-line, curses and web interfaces, and aims to be a
|
||||
reliable, practical tool for daily use. It is inspired by and largely
|
||||
compatible with ledger(1).

This release introduces hledger-ui, a new curses-style interface that
|
||||
I'm quite pleased with (not yet available on Windows). Built on vty
|
||||
and the new brick library, it lets you review account balances and
|
||||
transactions with fewer keystrokes and less effort.
|
||||
About the project: hledger 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.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, we can now report current value based on market prices (hurrah);
|
||||
wide characters are displayed properly; regular expression account
|
||||
aliases are fast; and unix man pages are provided. You can see all
|
||||
changes at http://hledger.org/release-notes#hledger-0.27 .
|
||||
Contributors to this release, one year in the making, include:
|
||||
Simon Michael, Dominik Süß, Thomas R. Koll, Moritz Kiefer,
|
||||
jungle-boogie, Sergei Trofimovich, Malte Brandy, Sam Doshi,
|
||||
Mitchell Rosen, Hans-Peter Deifel, Brian Scott, and Andrew Jones.
|
||||
|
||||
Release contributors:
|
||||
Simon Michael,
|
||||
Carlos Lopez-Camey.
|
||||
Notable changes since 0.27:
|
||||
|
||||
hledger can be installed with cabal or stack; see
|
||||
http://hledger.org/download .
|
||||
If you'd like to contribute Windows or Mac binaries, please get in
|
||||
touch.
|
||||
- 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
|
||||
|
||||
- the website http://plaintextaccounting.org was created as a portal
|
||||
and knowledge base for hledger, Ledger, beancount and related tools
|
||||
and practices.
