Dear all, I have released hledger 0.4 on hackage. There is also a new website at http://hledger.org , with screenshots (textual!), a demo (will it survive!?), and docs (not too many!) Release notes are at http://hledger.org/NEWS , and bravely pasted below. In case you forgot: hledger is a text-mode double-entry accounting tool. It reads a plain text journal file describing your transactions and generates precise activity and balance reports. I use it every day to track money and time, and as the basis for client invoices and tax returns. hledger is a partial clone, in haskell, of John Wiegley's excellent ledger. I wrote it because I did not want to hack on c++ and because haskell seemed a good fit. Please cabal update and cabal install hledger and give it a whirl. Install with the "-f happs" flag to enable the new happstack-based web interface. I am sm on the #ledger channel on freenode, and I welcome your feedback, especially if you notice a problem. Best - Simon ------------------------------------------------- 2009/04/03 hledger 0.4 released Changes: * new "web" command serves reports in a web browser (install with -f happs to build this) * make the vty-based curses ui a cabal build option, which will be ignored on MS windows * drop the --options-anywhere flag, that is now the default * patterns now use not: and desc: prefixes instead of ^ and ^^ * patterns are now case-insensitive, like ledger * !include directives are now relative to the including file (Tim Docker) * "Y2009" default year directives are now supported, allowing m/d dates in ledger * individual transactions now have a cleared status * unbalanced entries now cause a proper warning * balance report now passes all ledger compatibility tests * balance report now shows subtotals by default, like ledger 3 * balance report shows the final zero total when -E is used * balance report hides the final total when --no-total is used * --depth affects print and register reports (aggregating with a reporting interval, filtering otherwise) * register report sorts transactions by date * register report shows zero-amount transactions when -E is used * provide more convenient timelog querying when invoked as "hours" * multi-day timelog sessions are split at midnight * unterminated timelog sessions are now counted. Accurate time reports at last! * the test command gives better --verbose output * --version gives more detailed version numbers including patchlevel for dev builds * new make targets include: ghci, haddocktest, doctest, unittest, view-api-docs * a doctest-style framework for functional/shell tests has been added * performance has decreased slightly: || hledger-0.3 | hledger-0.4 | ledger-0.3 ==============================++========== -f sample.ledger balance || 0.02 | 0.01 | 0.07 -f sample1000.ledger balance || 1.02 | 1.39 | 0.53 -f sample10000.ledger balance || 12.72 | 14.97 | 4.63 Contributors: * Simon Michael * Tim Docker * HAppS, happstack and testpack developers Stats: * Known errors: 0 * Commits: 132 * Committers: 2 * Tests: 56 * Non-test code lines: 2600 * Days since release: 75
