============
* site and documentation updates
* parsing: require whitespace between date and status code, prevent
silent effective date breakage, return non-zero exit code on parse
failure, allow (and ignore) a time in price records, better error
messages
* support --effective option, uses transactions' effective dates if any
* price history support (first cut):
P directives now work, though differently from c++ ledger. Each
posting amount takes its fixed unit price from the price history (or
@) when available. This is simple and useful for things like foreign
currency expenses (but not investment tracking). Like ledger, balance
and register don't show amount prices any more, and don't separate
differently-priced amounts. Unlike ledger, print shows all amount
prices, and supports -B.
* convert: new rules file format, find/create rules file automatically,
more robust parsing, more useful --debug output
* print: always sort by date, fix long account name truncation, align
amounts, show end of line comments, show all amounts for clarity
(don't elide the final balancing amount)
* ui: use vty 4, fixes non-ascii symbol display (issue #3)
* web: allow data entry, react to data file changes, better layout, help
links, remove histogram command, fix bad localhost redirect, filter form
did not work in eg firefox (issue #7), reset link did not work in all
browsers
* handle utf8 properly in error messages (issue #5)
* fix an arithmetic bug that occasionally rejected valid transactions
* fix a regex bug in showtree
* don't break if HOME is undefined
* --debug now implies --verbose
* many hlint cleanups (Marko Kocic)
* add functional tests like ledger's, use test-framework for speedy
running, release shelltestrunner as a separate package
