I have released hledger and hledger-web 0.22.
hledger is a command-line tool and haskell library for tracking
financial transactions, which are stored in a human-readable plain
text format. In addition to reporting, it can also help you record new
transactions, or convert CSV data from your bank. Add-on packages
include hledger-web (providing a web interface), hledger-irr and hledger-interest.
hledger is inspired by and compatible with John Wiegley's Ledger. For
more, see http://hledger.org .
Install it:
cabal update; cabal install hledger [hledger-web]
For more installation help, see http://hledger.org/MANUAL.html#installing .
Or, sponsor a ready-to-run binary for your platform: http://hledger.org/DOWNLOAD.html .
Release notes (http://hledger.org/NEWS.html#hledger-0.22):
**New:**
- balance: with a reporting interval (monthly, yearly etc.), the
[balance command](MANUAL.html#balance) will now show a multi-column report, showing either
the per-period changes in balance (by default),
the period ending balances starting from zero (`--cumulative`),
or the actual period ending balances (`--historical`).
A more detailed specification of the balance command's behaviour
has been added to [Hledger.Cli.Balance](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger/docs/Hledger-Cli-Balance.html).
- csv: rules files can now include other rules files, useful for factoring out common rules
- queries: `sym:REGEXP` matches commodity symbols
- register: `--average/-A` shows a running average, like ledger
- in period expressions, `-` (hyphen) can be used as a more compact
synonym for `from` and `to`. Eg: `-p 2012/12/1-2013/2/1` or `date:aug-`.
- the add-on script examples in extra/ have been updated; get the
hledger source and add .../hledger/extra/ to your PATH to make them
available. They include:
hledger-accountnames.hs - print account names
hledger-balance-csv.hs - print a balance report as CSV
hledger-equity.hs - print an entry matching all account balances (like ledger)
hledger-print-unique.hs - print only journal entries unique descriptions
hledger-register-csv.hs - print a register report as CSV
**Improved:**
- balancesheet: now shows just assets and liabilities, not equity
- print: comment positions (same line or next line) are now preserved
- queries: `amt` now uses the = operator by default, eg `amt:50` is
equivalent to `amt:=50`
- command line processing has been overhauled and made more
consistent, and now has tests and debug output. More flags now work
both before and after COMMAND: `-f`, `--rule-file`, `--alias`,
`--help`, `--debug`, `--version`. Command line help, command
aliases, API docs and code have been improved.
- `--debug` now takes an optional numeric argument to set the debug level
higher than 1, for more verbose debug output in a few cases.
**Fixed:**
- csv: CSV data containing non-ascii characters is now supported
- build with latest versions of dependencies (text, warp, http-conduit etc.)
**Release contributors:**
Marko Kocić, Max Bolingbroke, and a big welcome to first-time committer John Wiegley! :)
There's a rumour that a 1.0 release could be next, depending on how this one fares. All feedback welcome.
