2010/04/10 hledger 0.9
......................
* ghc 6.12 support
* split off hledger-lib package, containing core types & utils
* parsing: ignore D, C, N, tag, end tag directives; we should now accept any ledger 2.6 file

2010/02/11 hledger 0.8
......................

* add: ctrl-d doesn't work on windows, suggest ctrl-c instead
* add: --no-new-accounts option disallows new accounts (Roman Cheplyaka)
* add: re-use the previous transaction's date as default (Roman Cheplyaka)

2009/12/11 hledger 0.7
........................
* price history support (first cut):
P directives now work, though differently from c++ ledger. Each
posting amount takes its fixed unit price from the price history (or
@) when available. This is simple and useful for things like foreign
currency expenses (but not investment tracking). Like ledger, balance
and register don't show amount prices any more, and don't separate
differently-priced amounts. Unlike ledger, print shows all amount
prices, and supports -B.
* --effective option, will use transactions' effective dates if any
* convert: new rules file format, find/create rules file automatically,
more robust parsing, more useful --debug output
* print: always sort by date, fix long account name truncation, align
amounts, show end of line comments, show all amounts for clarity
(don't elide the final balancing amount)
* ui: use vty 4, fixes non-ascii and gnome terminal problems (issues #3, #4)
* web: allow data entry, react to data file changes, better layout, help
links, remove histogram command and filter fields for now, fix bad
localhost redirect, filter form did not work in eg firefox (issue #7),
reset link did not work in all browsers
* parsing: require whitespace between date and status code, allow (and
ignore) a time in price records, better error messages, non-zero exit
code on parse failure
* display non-ascii error messages properly (issue #5)
* fix an arithmetic bug that occasionally rejected valid transactions
* fix a regex bug in showtree
* don't break if HOME is undefined
* --debug now implies --verbose
* add functional tests like ledger's, use test-framework for speedy
running, release shelltestrunner as a separate package
* many hlint cleanups (Marko Kocić)
* many site and documentation updates

2009/05/23 hledger 0.5.1
.................................
* two fixes: really disable vty flag by default, and include ConvertCommand in cabal file
2009/05/23 hledger 0.5
...............................
* the vty flag is disabled by default again, to ease installation on windows
* use ledger 3 terminology: a ledger contains transactions which contain postings
* new "add" command prompts for transactions interactively and adds them to the ledger
* new "convert" command transforms bank CSV exports to ledger format, with rule-based cleanup
* new "histogram" command shows transaction counts per day or other reporting interval
* most commands now work properly with UTF8-encoded text (Sergey Astanin)

* enforce balancing for bracketed virtual postings
