In periodic multicolumn balance reports, column headings now show a more
compact description of common periods (years, half-years, quarters,
months, weeks) for better readability and screen space efficiency.
- show a background color for future and less-than-zero regions
- show points for transactions, not all line corners
- hovering over point shows balance, date, posted amount and transaction
- clicking a point scrolls towards that date
Clarify the semantics and code of account transactions report a bit.
In the web account register view, emphasise the "historical balance" vs
"running total" distinction; show it as a label for the chart as well,
to reduce confusion.
Now that balance assertions are checking only a single commodity, it can
be confusing. Eg say all your amounts are in dollars, an assertion like
"= 0" checked the dollar balance in hledger 0.23 but always succeeds in
hledger 0.24. When an assertion fails, we now report which commodity was
checked to help troubleshooting.
multicolumn balance reports only show accounts with activity (postings)
during the report period, by default. Sometimes you want to show
accounts which have an interesting balance, even if they have no
activity during the period. -E now does this, in addition to showing
leading & trailing empty columns.
To avoid totally breaking the layout of multicolumn balance reports when
there are multi-commodity balances, these are now rendered on a single
line, comma separated. Simple balance reports still use the old vertical
format for now.
Amount display styles have been reworked a bit; they are now calculated
after journal parsing, not during it. This allows the fix for #196:
we now search through the amounts until a decimal point is detected,
instead of just looking at the first one; likewise for digit groups.
Digit groups are now implemented with a better type.
Digit group size detection has been improved a little:
1000,000 now gives group sizes [3,4,4,...], not [3,3,...], and
10,000 gives groups sizes [3,3,...] not [3,2,2,..].
(To get [3,2,2,...] you'd use eg 00,00,000.)
There are still some old (or new ?) issues; I don't think we handle
inconsistent decimal points & digit groups too well. But for now all
tests pass.
This change means you can make assertions on a multi-commodity account
balance (asserting one commodity at a time). On the flip side, you can
no longer assert the complete balance of an account (new unexpected
commodities will not be detected.) We might restore that ability later,
using the == syntax.
Can be helpful when reading Ledger files, where assertions may have
different semantics; or for getting some answers from your journal
to help you fix your assertions.
Could be called --no-assertions, but this might create surprise when it
has an effect contrary to --no-new-accounts.
I had to add another flag throughout the parsers & journal read
functions, ok for now.
- the web UI has been streamlined; edit form, raw & entries views dropped
- we now remember whether sidebar is open or closed
- better help dialog
- keyboard shortcuts are now available
- better add form
- more bootstrap styling
- static file cleanups
- report filtering fixes
- upgrade jquery to 2.1.1, bootstrap to 3.1.1, drop select2, add typeahead, cookie, hotkeys
- clarify debug helpers a little
- refactoring
- The CSV reader no longer writes a "(stdin).rules" file when reading
from stdin.
- Selection of reader(s) is now smarter when input is coming from stdin.
Previously, all readers were considered applicable for stdin. This
meant that when reading a CSV file from stdin, the journal and timelog
readers were always tried first, and if the CSV file was unparseable,
you'd see the first (journal) reader's error instead of the CSV
reader's. Now, the readers do some basic content sniffing when
reading stdin, so it generally tries only the one right reader and
we'll see the right errors.
- The read system now has more debug output.
Fix a refactoring-related regression that the tests missed: if
transactions were not ordered by date in the journal, register
could include postings before the report start date in the output.
We provided a very limited implementation of --display only for one use
case: to see an accurate running balance. Now that is achieved more easily
with -H/--historical, similar to the balance command, and --display
can be dropped.
