A transaction/posting status of ! (pending) was effectively equivalent
to * (cleared). Now it's a separate state, not matched by --cleared.
The new Ledger-compatible --pending flag matches it, and so does
--uncleared. The equivalent search queries are now status:*, status:!
and status: (the old status:1 and status:0 spellings are deprecated).
Since we interpret --uncleared and status: as "any state except cleared",
it's not currently possible to match things which are neither cleared
nor pending.
The regex account aliases added in 0.24 trip up people switching between
hledger and Ledger. (Also they are currently slow).
This change makes the old non-regex aliases the default; they are
unsurprising, useful, and pretty close in functionality to Ledger's.
The new regex aliases are also available; they must be enclosed in
forward slashes. Ledger effectively ignores these, which is ok.
Also clarify docs, refactor, and use the same parser for alias
directives and alias options
alias match patterns (the part left of the =) are now case-insensitive
regular expressions matching anywhere in the account name. The
replacement string (the part right of the =) can replace multiple
matches within the account name. The replacement string does not yet
support any of the usual syntax like backreferences.
- use new query system for command line too, filterspec is no more
- move unit tests near the code they test, run them in bottom up order, add more
- more precise Show instances, used for debugging not ui
The previous code simply looked directly to the parent transaction's
status to determine whether the posting was cleared. This gave
erroneous information for postings that were individually cleared
even though the parent transaction was not cleared.
