I'm pleased to announce the release of hledger 1.13, the first hledger release of 2019! Thank you release contributors Jakob Schöttl and Dmitry Astapov. hledger is a robust, cross-platform plain text accounting tool, for tracking money, time, stocks, cryptocurrencies or any other commodity, using double-entry accounting, private or shared plain text files, revision control, and command-line, curses or web UIs. Find out more at http://hledger.org and http://plaintextaccounting.org. Release notes (condensed, see http://hledger.org/release-notes): ------------- project-wide changes for 1.13 - packaging: A docker image providing the main hledger tools is now linked on the download page. This is another way to get up-to-date hledger tools without building them yourself (and, a way to run hledger-ui on windows ?) (Dmitry Astapov, Simon Michael) - doc: fixed pandoc typography conversion in web manuals. Eg -- was being rendered as en-dash. (#954). hledger 1.13 - cli: reorganised commands list. Addons now have a + prefix. - cli: the command line help and manual section for all hledger’s commands are now consistent, and generated from the same source. - cli: comprehensive bash completion support is now provided (in shell-completion/). See how-to in the Cookbook. (Jakob Schöttl) - balance –budget: budget amounts now aggregate hierarchically, like account balances. Unbudgeted accounts can be shown with -E/–empty (along with zero-balance accounts), and the –show-budgeted flag has been dropped. (Dmitry Astapov) - balance: new –transpose flag switches the rows and columns of tabular balance reports (in txt and csv output formats). (Dmitry Astapov) - close: generated balance assertions now have exact amounts with all decimal digits, ignoring display precision. Also, balance assertion amounts will no longer contain prices. (#941, #824, #958) - files: now shows up in the commands list - import: be silent when there’s nothing to import - roi: percentages smaller than 0.01% are displayed as zero (Dmitry Astapov) - stats, ui: correct file order is preserved when using –auto (#949) - journal: account directive: the account name can now be followed by a comment on the same line - journal: account directive: account types for the bs/bse/cf/is commands can now be set with a type: tag, whose value is Asset, Liability, Equity, Revenue, Expense, A, L, E, R or X (case-insensitive). The previous syntax (account assets A) is now deprecated. - journal: account directive: account sort codes like account 1000 (introduced in 1.9, deprecated in 1.11) are no longer supported. - journal: transaction modifiers (auto postings) can affect periodic transactions (–auto can add postings to transactions generated with –forecast). (Dmitry Astapov) - journal: balance assertion errors now show exact amounts with all decimal digits. Previously it was possible, in case of a commodity directive limiting the display precision, to have a balance assertion error with asserted and actual amounts looking the same. (#941) - journal: fixed a periodic transaction parsing failure (#942) (Dmitry Astapov) hledger-ui 1.13 - on posix systems, control-z suspends the program - control-l now works everywhere and redraws more reliably - the top status info is clearer Getting started: ---------------- All install methods are described at http://hledger.org/download : windows binaries, system packages, docker, nix, cabal, stack, hledger installer, etc. Some of these might take a few days to become up to date. On systems with bash installed, the hledger installer is a reliable way to get the latest release of hledger: $ curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simonmichael/hledger/master/hledger-instal... > hledger-install.sh $ less hledger-install.sh # satisfy yourself that the script is safe $ bash hledger-install.sh Then try: $ hledger # list available commands $ hledger help # list built-in manuals Tutorials and all other docs: http://hledger.org Chat: #hledger on Freenode or Matrix - http://irc.hledger.org or http://riot.hledger.org . New and old users, contributors, all feedback, always welcome! Best, -Simon
