Miscellaneous improvements.

hledger 1.26

Improvements

• register and aregister have been made faster, by

  • considering only the first 1000 items for choosing column
    widths. You can restore the old behaviour (guaranteed alignment
    across all items) with the new --align-all flag.
    (#1839, Stephen Morgan)

  • discarding cost data more aggressively, giving big speedups for
    large journals with many costs.
    (#1828, Stephen Morgan)

• Most error messages from the journal reader and the check command now use
  a consistent layout, with an "Error:" prefix, line and column numbers,
  and an excerpt highlighting the problem. Work in progress.
  (#1436) (Simon Michael, Stephen Morgan)

• hledger check ordereddates now always checks all transactions
  (previously it could be restricted by query arguments).

• The --pivot options now supports a status argument, to pivot on transaction status.

• Update bash completions (Jakob Schöttl)

Fixes

• Value reports with --date2 and a report interval (like hledger bal -VM --date2)
  were failing with a "expected all spans to have an end date" error since 1.22;
  this is now fixed.
  (#1851, Stephen Morgan)

• In CSV rules, interpolation of a non-existent field like %999 or %nosuchfield
  is now ignored (previously it inserted that literal text).
  Note this means such an error will not be reported;
  Simon chose this as the more convenient behaviour when converting CSV.
  Experimental.
  (#1803, #1814) (Stephen Morgan)

• --infer-market-price was inferring a negative price when selling.
  (#1813, Stephen Morgan)

• Allow an escaped forward slash in regular expression account aliases.
  (#982, Stephen Morgan)

• The tags command now also lists tags from unused account declarations.
  It also has improved command-line help layout.
  (#1857)

• hledger accounts now shows its debug output at a more appropriate level (4).

hledger-ui 1.26

hledger-web 1.26

project changes 1.26

Scripts/addons

• renamed hledger-number.sh to hledger-simplebal

• added hledger-git, hledger-pijul

• fin (and bin) scripts show available scripts and their help

• renamed aliases.sh to bashrc

• Get hledger-print-location working. (Stephen Morgan)

Docs

• README cleanup, inspired by feedback from README reviewer Lars Wirzenius.

• Clearer sponsoring info and more complete sponsor lists on website and README.

• The new https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger_finance repo
  keeps track of our public finances (on Open Collective, Liberapay etc.)

Examples

• invoice: calculate dates accurately on last days of month

Process

• Stackage nightly and GHC 9.2 are now the default for dev builds.

• CI workflows:

  • Workflows and binaries have more consistent naming, mentioning platform and architecture.
  • The main test workflow is now linux-x64-test, replacing push and pull.
    It runs for both pushes and pull requests, and generates binaries on every run.
  • Pushes/merges to master, including Simon's, are required to have passed
    linux-x64-test on another github branch first.
  • Mac and Windows binaries are now stripped also (if applicable).

• make buildtimes, make buildtimes-cabal show GHC codegen times.
