# hledger ROADMAP Current ideas about where the hledger project should be going next. ## Next Targets - hledger 1.19, 2020-09-01\ account transactions register, stricter/more correct handling of unbalanced multicommodity transactions (#1177), Track & show deposited lots (#1022), Report unrealized capital gains/losses (#1029) ### Past Targets - hledger 1.18, 2020-06-01\ more effective CI setup, updated home page, quickstart, tutorials etc., negative matching in CSV rules, - hledger 1.17, 2020-03-01\ field matching in CSV rules, reduce install hassles with terminfo C lib (?), more import/export options, simple console charts, refreshed home page, faq, tutorials, manuals, - hledger 1.16, 2019-12-01\ ghc 8.8 support, more powerful CSV conversion, updated home page, faq, manuals, reduce install hassles with terminfo C lib ---- ## 2020 Priorities
### Documentation Improve the docs.

- home & faq - manuals (more discoverable structure of web manuals) - cookbook docs (survey, plan, update) - contrib guide (update, build from readmes)
### Effectiveness Improve approachability, just-works quality, practicality, real-world usefulness. - ghc 8.8, get back in stackage nightly - install issues (C libs..) - more powerful CSV conversion - fill out holes in feature matrix
### Investment Improve suitability for investment tracking ([#1015](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/issues/1015)) - market price inference from transactions - easy market price fetching - lot tracking - capital gains reporting ### Charts Add charts and more visual appeal.

- console charts, basic bar charts - clarify architecture/UI for charts - graphical charts using Chart/matplotlib/hvega - review/design/add more attractive default output (see taskwarrior)
---- ## Achievements Some project achievements to unlock. This is for fun.
