When reports want to render amounts without commmodity symbols,
they must now use AmountDisplayOpts' new displayCommodity flag.
(Previously it was a side effect of setting displayCommodityOrder.)
Now using type: in account declarations or generating t: with timedot
letters won't cause the `tags` check to fail.
If a user declares any of these explicitly with a tag directive,
it does not cause an error.
Rationale:
To satisfy the recentassertions check I'm often filling in a bunch of
placeholder balance assertions, copy/pasting the correct amount from
the balance assertion failure messages. In this situation the
difference just repeats the amount in the line above, with opposite
sign, which makes it harder for me to interpret the message and to
copy-paste the right amount. And more generally I think showing the
difference isn't really necessary.
- omit balance assertions
- replace more currency symbols, and match within symbols like C$
- do more account validation, and error if conversion is too hard
- backslash-escape double quotes and backslashes in payee and note
That 1.31 change was advertised as being for the print command only,
but it affected all commands. Now it affects only print and other
"print-like" commands (ie all commands that show whole journal entries
that we might want to re-parse).
Also three classes of hledger output, and how they modify the
commodity display styles' digit group marks and decimal marks
to suit different consumers, have been identified and documented
(under REPORTING CONCEPTS).
Strict checks now run only once, at end of the high level read operation,
and not for each individual file; this fixes some spurious --strict failures,
like account declarations not affecting a sibling file as they should.
And .latest file writing now happens as the last step, after passing
strict checks. This is mainly for the import command, but it also
means that hledger print --new now does not update .latest files
if strict checks are failing.
The file reading API has been improved and documented in more detail.
With valuation now preserving more decimal digits, roi could show
excessively precise decimals if there was no known display precision
for the valuation commodity. Now in that situation it limits the
precision to a maximum of 8 digits.
This and the preceding commits were "work in progress" that got out of control.
There's more to do, but this one brings these precision-related improvements
(at least):
When "infinite decimals" arise, they are now generally shown with
8 decimal digits rather than 255.
print and prices no longer add trailing decimal zeros unnecessarily.
Some code has been refactored or given more debug output.
All tests have been updated to match the recent changes.
- The prices comand now more accurately lists the prices that hledger
uses when calculating value reports (similar to what you'd see with
eg `hledger bal -V --debug=2`).
- The prices command's --infer-reverse-prices flag was confusing since
we always infer and use reverse prices; it has been renamed to --show-reverse.
- --infer-market-prices and --show-reverse combine properly.
- --show-reverse now ignores all zero prices rather than giving an error.
- Reverse prices (which can be infinite decimals) are now displayed
with at most 8 decimal digits (rather than the internal precision of
255 digits).
- Filtering prices by cur: or amt: now works properly.
- Price amounts are styled, but all decimal digits are shown.
Cost/value conversion now applies the standard display style, and
sets the display precision equal to the internal decimal precision
(or 8 if the decimal appears to be infinite).
This means value reports and especially `print -V` now show amounts
with more accurate and standard style and precision.
New tests have been added describing and explaining various
style/precision behaviours in print cost/value reports.
Replace occurrences of '\N' (where N is a positive number) in field
templates with the corresponding regular expression match group, if it
exists.
E.g. Warp the date to the first of the month for the second posting
if %date (....-..)-..
comment2 date:\1-01
E.g. Strip a prefix from an imported account name
if %account1 liabilities:jon:(.*)
account1 \1

All commands that suport csv output now also support tsv output. The
data is identical, but the fields are separated by tab characters and
there is no quoting or escaping. Tab, carriage return, and newline
characters in data are converted to spaces (this should rarely if ever
happen in practice).
