REGRESSIONS

Short url for this page: hledger.org/regressions

A regression is "something that used to work, that broke", or "an unintended not-good change" in a released version of hledger.

We don't like regressions. We want to detect them quickly, repair them quickly, and reduce their frequency.

You can help! We offer a standard bounty ($100 USD) for each new regression reported in hledger releases. (original discussion). To claim the bounty:

Announce on the issue page or in chat that you've submitted (to help ensure it is not overlooked)
Wait for the issue manager to approve it. This should not take more than a day or two.
