Tabular reports from bal, bs etc. have until now been rendered on
the terminal with one final blank line, for readability.
This change drops the blank line.
This is consistent with the non-tabular balance and register output
(not print, which is a special case), and with most unix commands.
The real reason for it, which I admit is flimsy, is that I can now omit
the final delimiter (>=0) when using shelltestrunner 1.9's new format,
making functional tests easier to maintain and more readable.
If there's opposition, this could be reverted.
Previously, if you specified no report interval, the text output of
these commands was a simple report like the original balance command,
with amounts on the left and account names on the right. Also,
balances used arithmetic sign like the balance command.
Now it always draws a table, with account names in the left
column, and shows balances with normal-positive sign, consistent with
the multicolumn reports. Less code, fewer bugs.
Income, liability and equity balances, which until now we have
always displayed as negative numbers, are now shown as normally positive
by these reports.
Negative numbers now indicate a contra-balance (eg an overdrawn
checking account), a net loss, a negative net worth, etc.
This makes these reports more like conventional financial statements,
and easier to read and share with normal people.
For multi-column balance report, if there are no transactions in the
given period for budgeted account, display [0% of <budget>] for
consistency.
If balance is a mix of commodities, convert to cost basis for the
purposes of computing percent of balance spent.
Budget goals specified with periodic transactions (as with
hledger-budget) can now be displayed in balance report (but not in bs/is/cf).
--budget shows the target amount and percentage alongside the actual
amount, per account and period.
Unbudgeted accounts will be hidden, unless --show-unbudgeted is used.
Budgeted accounts are displayed folded (depth-clipped) at a depth
matching the budget specification. Unbudgeted accounts, if shown, are
displayed at their usual depth (in full detail, or according to --depth).
Ledger-style automated postings, previously supported only by
hledger-budget, have landed as a first-class feature. The --auto
flag activates them, so that any postings they generate are
included in reports.
Ledger-style periodic transactions, previously supported only by
hledger-budget, have landed as a first-class feature. The --forecast
flag activates them, so that any transactions they generate are
included in reports.
Add "fixed" to the regex used to exclude asset accounts from cashflow
reports. Assumes accounts are set up something like:
assets:fixed assets:equipment
assets:fixed assets:vehicles
assets:fixed assets:buildings
That's the current most robust way. Otherwise, it can fail due to
stack's progress output as it reinstalls hledger libs, and that
reinstallation also forces all the addons to be relinked.
See the issue and linked mail list discussion. Ambiguity between the
uncleared state, and the "not cleared" --uncleared flag causes confusion
and friction. At this point it seems best to break with Ledger and
past hledger, pick a new name and drop --uncleared to put an end to it.
