hledger 1.50.1

Fixes

• Balance commands now show an empty report instead of an error when
  no transactions are matched, fixing a regression in 1.50.
  (Stephen Morgan, #2452)

• The print command's help no longer shows an unused --show-costs flag.
  And the command-specific flags are now mostly ordered alphabetically.

• Whitespace in the setup command's "undeclared commodities" output has been fixed.

Doc updates

• Text encoding
• bin/README: paypal*, simplefin* usage examples, doc link

hledger-ui 1.50.1

Fixes

• The transaction screen and error screen now update on data changes like other screens,
  eg when using the E key, g key, or --watch.
  #2014, #2288

• When the journal is reloaded by the g key or --watch, the
  --pivot (and --obfuscate) options are now preserved,
  and spurious errors are avoided.
  #2451

• The Z key (and the -E command line flag) toggles zero-balance accounts again.
  (Stephen Morgan, #2454)

Improvements

• Debug output has improved, eg it's easier to see changes to the screen stack.

For all install options, see hledger.org: Install.
You can install hledger from most package managers (but check for a green badge indicating it's up to date).
Or you can build it from source yourself.

Or you can install up to date binaries from this page, by following the appropriate instructions below.
If you find problems with these instructions, please let us know.

If you have eget, that's a convenient way to download the right binaries for your machine:

eget simonmichael/hledger --all

Otherwise:

At the command line:

curl -fLOC- https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/releases/download/1.50.1/hledger-linux-x64.tar.gz | tar -xzv -f- -C/usr/local/bin hledger hledger-ui hledger-web
hledger --version; hledger-ui --version; hledger-web --version    # should show 1.50.1

In a terminal window (don't download the binaries with your web browser, they won't get authorised):

On ARM macs:

curl -fLOC- https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/releases/download/1.50.1/hledger-mac-arm64.tar.gz | tar -xzv -f- -C/usr/local/bin hledger hledger-ui hledger-web
hledger --version; hledger-ui --version; hledger-web --version    # should show 1.50.1

On Intel macs:

curl -fLOC- https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/releases/download/1.50.1/hledger-mac-x64.tar.gz | tar -xzv -f- -C/usr/local/bin hledger hledger-ui hledger-web
hledger --version; hledger-ui --version; hledger-web --version    # should show 1.50.1

In a powershell window (press WINDOWS-R, powershell, ENTER):

cd ~
curl https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/releases/download/1.43.2/hledger-windows-x64.zip -OutFile hledger-windows-x64.zip
Expand-Archive hledger-windows-x64.zip -Force -DestinationPath AppData\Roaming\local\bin
hledger --version; hledger-ui --version; hledger-web --version    # should show 1.50.1

These instructions have not been tested recently, please let us know if they work for you:

• click hledger-windows-x64.zip below
• choose Open with Windows Explorer, OK
• click Extract all files
• choose a destination folder - ideally one that appears in echo %PATH%, like C:\Windows (though that one will require administrator permission); otherwise, your home directory (C:\Users\YOURNAME)
• check "Show extracted files when complete"
• click Extract, wait for the destination folder to open
• find the hledger, hledger-web icons (if you extracted to \Windows, you'll need to scroll down)
• for each icon: double-click, uncheck "Always ask before opening this file", click Run
• close those Explorer windows
• open a command window (press Windows-r, type CMD, press enter)
• hledger --version; hledger-ui --version; hledger-web --version should show 1.50.1
• echo # >> .hledger.journal to ensure a default journal file exists. (Important: the doubled >> is needed to avoid overwriting existing data.)

Problems:

• Starting hledger by double-clicking its icon won't work because it needs arguments; run it from the command window instead.
• Starting hledger-web by double-clicking its icon may fail eg because Explorer's command window is too small;
  configure that to be larger, or run hledger-web from a command window instead.
• hledger or hledger-web may fail to run if there is not enough memory available.

Next steps

Once installed, run hledger, and perhaps read hledger.org: Quick start.
