hledger 1.51.1

Fixes

• Relative includes from a symbolically-linked journal file now work again.
  This was fallout from 1.50.4's fixes.
  #2503

• When journal's include directive has an IO error, like trying to
  include an existing but unreadable file, or failing to find a home
  directory when expanding ~, it now shows the problematic include
  directive (previously the line number was off by one).

• aregister: respect the order of -f options when showing same-day transactions from multiple files.
  If transactions on the same date are coming from two files specified
  with -f options, we expect them to be displayed in parse order, ie
  respecting the order of the -f options. This wasn't always the case,
  now it is.

• aregister: show "ACCTPAT matches no account" error on just one line.

• Fix build failures with the scripts in bin/.

Simon Michael,
Dmitry Astapov,

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/1.51.1/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 1.51.1

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/1.51.1/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 1.51.1

On Intel macs:

curl -fLOC- https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/releases/download/1.51.1/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 1.51.1

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

cd ~
curl https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/releases/download/1.51.1/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 1.51.1

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 1.51.1
• 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.
