%% (WHAT IS IT?)
|
|
|
|
hledger is a cross-platform program (and Haskell library) for tracking
|
|
money, time, or any other commodity, using double-entry accounting and
|
|
a simple, editable text file format.
|
|
hledger aims to be a reliable, practical tool for daily use,
|
|
and provides command-line, curses-style, and web interfaces.
|
|
It is a largely compatible Haskell reimplementation of John Wiegley's Ledger program.
|
|
hledger is released under GNU GPLv3+.
|
|
|
|
%% (WHAT IS ITS STATUS? / WHAT HAS HAPPENED SINCE LAST TIME?)
|
|
|
|
hledger's HCAR entry was last updated in the November 2011 report, but
|
|
development has continued steadily, with 2-3 major releases each year.
|
|
|
|
Many new features and improvements have been introduced, making hledger much more useful.
|
|
These include:
|
|
\begin{compactitem}
|
|
\item Easier installation, using stack, system packages, or downloadable Windows binaries.
|
|
\item A simpler and more robust web interface, with built-in help, balance charts, flexible transaction entry, and automatic browser startup
|
|
\item A new curses-style interface, hledger-ui, is now included and fully supported
|
|
\item The command-line interface is more robust, and is aware of terminal width, COLUMNS, and wide characters
|
|
\item New commands: accounts, balancesheet, cashflow, incomestatement
|
|
\item New add-on packages: ledger-autosync, hledger-diff, hledger-interest, and hledger-irr
|
|
\item hledger can now report current value based on market prices (-V)
|
|
\item The journal format has become richer, supporting more Ledger features such as balance assertions
|
|
\item hledger journals and reports can be exported as CSV
|
|
\item hledger now reads CSV files directly, using flexible conversion rules
|
|
\item The balance command can show multiple columns, with per-period changes or ending balances
|
|
\item Depth-limiting now interacts well with other features, making it effective for summarising
|
|
\item hledger-web's query language is richer and is also used by the command-line interface
|
|
\item The Decimal library is used for representing amounts exactly
|
|
\item Unicode is handled correctly
|
|
\item Many commands are faster
|
|
\end{compactitem}
|
|
|
|
Project updates include:
|
|
\begin{compactitem}
|
|
\item hledger.org and the docs have been refreshed a few times, and now include many examples
|
|
\item hledger's code repo and bug tracker have moved from darcs/darcs hub/google code to git/github
|
|
\item hledger has its own IRC channel on freenode: #hledger, with logging and commit/issue/travis notifications
|
|
\end{compactitem}
|
|
|
|
%% (CAN OTHERS GET IT?)
|
|
|
|
hledger is available from hledger.org, github, hackage, stackage, and
|
|
is packaged for a number of systems including Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo,
|
|
Fedora, and NixOS. See \url{http://hledger.org/download} or
|
|
\url{http://hledger.org/developer-guide} for guidance.
|
|
|
|
%% (WHAT ARE THE IMMEDIATE PLANS?)
|
|
|
|
Immediate plans:
|
|
improve docs and help,
|
|
improve parser speed and memory efficiency,
|
|
integrate a separate parser for Ledger files built by John Wiegley,
|
|
hledger-ui improvements,
|
|
and work towards the 1.0 release.
