For a long time hledger has auto-detected the file format when it's not known, eg when reading from a file with unusual extension (like .dat or .txt), or from standard input (-f-), or when using the include directive (which currently ignores file extensions). Auto-detecting has been done by trying all readers until one succeeds. This could guess wrong in some cases, but it was so rare that it has been working fine. Recently, more conveniences have been added to timedot format, increasing its overlap with journal format, which makes this kind of auto-detection unreliable. Auto-detection and auto-detection failures are (probably) still pretty rare in practice. But when it does happen it's confusing, giving misleading errors or false successes (eg printing timedot entries instead of a journal error). For predictability and to minimise confusion, hledger no longer tries to guess; when there's no file extension or reader prefix, it assumes journal format. To specify one of the other formats, you must use a standard file extension (.timeclock, .timedot, .csv, .ssv, .tsv), or a reader prefix (-f csv:foo.txt, -f timedot:-). For now, the include directive still tries to autodetect (journal/timeclock/timedot), and this can't be overridden; it will be fixed later. Experimental; testing and feedback welcome.
