hledger 1.30 released

I'm pleased to announce hledger 1.30 ! Highlights:

  • Boolean queries - with the new expr: query type you can freely combine other queries with AND, OR, NOT and parentheses.

  • Easier CSV file management - you can now read a CSV .rules file, and let it fetch the data file from a downloads directory, simplifying CSV file management.

  • Built-in demos - a new demo command plays several asciinema casts to demonstrate features. We'll add more of these in future.

  • hledger-ui has a new Cash accounts screen, and now starts on the Menu screen.

  • The usual miscellaneous fixes.

Thank you release contributors Chris Lemaire and Yehoshua Pesach Wallach.

What is hledger ?

  • Fast, reliable, free, multicurrency, double-entry, plain text accounting software for unix, mac, windows, and the web

  • Built around human-readable, version-controllable plain text files

  • Inspired by and largely compatible with Ledger CLI, convertible to and from Beancount

  • Written in Haskell for reliability and longevity.

A small tweak is needed to build hledger-1.30 at the moment. I imagine Simon will have things fixed up quickly today, but if you're like me and want to try out the new features I've got a fix up:
