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.
- ctrl plus/ctrl minus adds/removes posting fields
- clicking the more link or pressing tab in the last field also works
- the focus is adjusted sensibly
- the add form is reset if closed and reopened, except the number of postings
- keyboard shortcuts should be less dependent on focus now
- tested in recent firefox, chrome, safari
- things should be robust with typeahead, with one notable exception:
typeahead is not enabled in the new account fields when you add
postings. I tried hard, help welcome.
The add form has become a modal dialog, and been moved into the default
template. This simplifies some things, for now. Eg it's easily
accessible from any page.
Some configuration for running hledger-web in ghci, and misc. utilities
including hlint/hoogle/hayoo and a not-yet-working yesod devel-like
reloader from a recent reddit thread. (If enabling these, also uncomment
the required libs in hledger-web.cabal). Although it's not yet
automated, we can now test hledger-web changes without relinking:
