User-visible changes in hledger-web. See also the hledger changelog.

1.19 2020-09-01

• Queries containing a malformed regular expression (eg the single character ?) now show a tidy error message instead "internal server error" (Stephen Morgan, Simon Michael) (#1245)

• In account registers, a transaction dated outside the report period now is not shown even if it has postings dated inside the report period.

• Added a missing lower bound for aeson, making cabal installs more reliable. (#1268)

1.18.1 2020-06-21

• fix some doc typos (Martin Michlmayr)

1.18 2020-06-07

• The filter query is now preserved when clicking a different account in the sidebar. (Henning Thielemann)

• Hyperlinks are now more robust when there are multiple journal files, eg links from register to journal now work properly. (#1041) (Henning Thielemann)

add form

• Fixed a 2016 regression causing too many rows to be added by keypresses in the last amount field or CTRL-plus (#422, #1059).

• Always start with four rows when opened.

• Drop unneeded C-minus/C-plus keys & related help text.

1.17.1 2020-03-19

• require newer Decimal, math-functions libs to ensure consistent rounding behaviour, even when built with old GHCs/snapshots. hledger uses banker's rounding (rounds to nearest even number, eg 0.5 displayed with zero decimal places is "0").

1.17 2020-03-01

• Fonts have been improved on certain platforms. (David Zhang)

• IPv6 is supported (Amarandus) (#1145)

• The --host option can now take a local hostname (Amarandus) (#1145)

• New --socket option to run hledger-web over an AF_UNIX socket file. (Carl Richard Theodor Schneider) This allows running multiple instances of hledger-web on the same system without having to manually choose a port for each instance, which is helpful for running individual instances for multiple users. In this scenario, the socket path is predictable, as it can be derived from the username.

• The edit and upload forms now normalise line endings, avoiding parse errors (#1194). Summary of current behaviour:

  • hledger add and import commands will append with (at least some) unix line endings, possibly causing the file to have mixed line endings

  • hledger-web edit and upload forms will write the file with the current system's native line endings, ie changing all line endings if the file previously used foreign line endings.

• Numbers in JSON output now provide a floating point Number representation as well as our native Decimal object representation, since the later can sometimes contain 255-digit integers. The floating point numbers can have up to 10 decimal digits (and an unbounded number of integer digits.) Experimental, suggestions needed. (#1195)

1.16.2 2020-01-14

• add support for megaparsec 8 (#1175)

• fix add form completions (#1156)

1.16.1 2019-12-03

• Drop unnecessary json (#1190), mtl-compat dependencies

• use hledger 1.16.1, fixing GHC 8.0/8.2 build

1.16 2019-12-01

• add support for GHC 8.8, base-compat 0.11 (#1090). For now, hledger-web needs an unreleased version of json.

• drop support for GHC 7.10

• Weeks in the add form's date picker now start on Mondays (#1109) (Timofey Zakrevskiy)

• The --cors option allows simple cross-origin requests to hledger-web (Alejandro García Montoro)

• The test suite has been disabled for now.

1.15 2019-09-01

• --serve-api disables the usual server-side web UI (leaving only the API routes)

• register page: account names are hyperlinked

• ?sidebar= now hides the sidebar, same as ?sidebar=0

• fix "_create_locale could not be located" error on windows 7 (#1039)

• use hledger 1.15

1.14.1 2019-03-20

• /accounts JSON: return all accounts, not just top-level ones (#985) Accounts are returned as a flat list, in tree order, with asubs fields empty.

• use hledger 1.14.2

1.14 2019-03-01

• serve the same JSON-providing routes as in hledger-api:

  /accountnames
  /transactions
  /prices
  /commodities
  /accounts
  /accounttransactions/ACCT
  

  And allow adding a new transaction by PUT'ing JSON (similar to the output of /transactions) to /add. This requires the add capability (which is enabled by default). Here's how to test with curl:

  $ curl -s http://127.0.0.1:5000/add -X PUT -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary @in.json; echo

1.9 (2018/3/31)

• support ghc 8.4, latest deps

• when the system text encoding is UTF-8, ignore any UTF-8 BOM prefix found when reading files

• -E/--empty toggles zeroes at startup (with opposite default to cli)

1.5 (2017/12/31)

• add form account fields now suggest implied and declared account names also

• add form date field now uses a datepicker (Eli Flanagan)

• don't write a session file at startup, don't require a writable working directory

• support -V/--value, --forecast, --auto

• remove upper bounds on all but hledger* and base (experimental)

1.4 (2017/9/30)

• allow megaparsec-6.1 (Hans-Peter Deifel)

• restore upper bounds on hledger packages

1.3 (2017/6/30)

Depends on hledger[-lib] 1.3, see related changelogs.

1.2 (2017/3/31)

Accounts with ? in name had empty registers (fixes #498) (Bryan Richter)

Allow megaparsec 5.2 (fixes #503)

1.1 (2016/12/31)

• add --host option (#429)

  This came up in the context of Docker, but it seems it wasn't possible for hledger-web to serve remote clients directly (without a proxy) because of 127.0.0.1 being hardcoded. That can now be changed with --host=IPADDR. Also, the default base url uses this address rather than a hard-coded "localhost".

• rename --server to --serve

  The --server flag sounded too close in meaning to --host so I've renamed it to --serve. The old spelling is still accepted, but deprecated and will be removed in the next release.

1.0.1 (2016/10/27)

• allow megaparsec 5.0 or 5.1

1.0 (2016/10/26)

ui

• use full width on large screens, hide sidebar on small screens, more standard bootstrap styling (#418, #422) (Dominik Süß)

• show the sidebar by default (#310)

• fix the add link's tooltip

• when the add form opens, focus the first field (#338)

• leave the add form's date field blank, avoiding a problem with tab clearing it (#322)

• use transaction id instead of date in transaction urls (#308) (Thomas R. Koll)

• after following a link to a transaction, highlight it (Thomas R. Koll)

• misc. HTML/CSS/file cleanups/fixes (Thomas R. Koll)

misc

• startup is more robust (#226).

  Now we exit if something is already using the specified port, and we don't open a browser page before the app is ready.

• termination is more robust, avoiding stray background threads.

  We terminate the server thread more carefully on exit, eg on control-C in GHCI.

• more robust register dates and filtering in some situations (see hledger-ui notes)

• reloading the journal preserves options, arguments in effect (#314).

  The initial query specified by command line arguments is now preserved when the journal is reloaded. This does not appear in the web UI, it's like an invisible extra filter.

• show a proper not found page on 404

• document the special `inacct:` query (#390)

0.27 (2015/10/30)

• Fix keyboard shortcut for adding a transaction (Carlos Lopez-Camey)

• Clear the form when clicking 'Add a transaction' (just like the shortcut) (Carlos Lopez-Camey)

• Disallow -f- (reading from standard input) which currently doesn't work (#202)

• Fix broken links when using --base-url (#235)

• Fix the --file-url option (#285)

• Show fewer "other accounts" in the account register: to reduce clutter in the "other accounts" field, if there are both real and virtual postings to other accounts, show only the accounts posted to by real postings.

0.26 (2015/7/12)

• make the j keybinding respect --base-url (fixes #271)
• respect command line options (fixes #225)
• include the unminified jquery source again (#161)
• fix build breakage from #165 (fixes #268)
• fix a js error breaking add form in browsers other than firefox (#251, Carlos Lopez-Camey c.lopez@kmels.net)
• drop deprecated network-conduit dependency

0.25 (2015/4/7)

• GHC 7.10 compatibility (#239)

• fix the add form when there are included files (#234)

  NB to make this work, the add form now shows the full file path of the main and included journal files.

• improve add form validation (#223, #234)

  All add form errors are displayed as form errors, not internal server errors, and when there are errors the add form is redisplayed (form inputs are not preserved, currently).

• keep the add button right-aligned when pressing ctrl - on the add form

0.24.1 (2015/1/10)

• add missing modules to fix cabal tests (#232)

0.23 (2014/5/1)

• The --static-root flag has been renamed to --file-url.
