#ThisWeekInHledger
Actually this fortnight, since I missed a post.
Last week I finished getting hledger back into stackage nightly,
fixed build errors with GHC 8.10,
and updated github workflows.
This week I worked on release automation,
flattened and simplified page tables-of-contents on hledger.org,
updated/added more hledger docs in the tldr project,
and fixed breakage in the hledger-install.sh script on non-windows platforms.

I'm pleased to announce hledger 1.33!
Highlights: close enhancements, hledger-ui 'dark' theme, GHC 9.8 support, Apple ARM binaries, and the usual improvements/fixes. Many thanks to all contributors.
#ThisWeekInHledger:
Investigated/refactored/discussed a problem with boolean query expressions; disallowed date: in OR expressions. Required process >=1.6.19.0 for HSEC-2024-0003. Updated docs: balance assertions, balancesheetequity.
plaintextaccounting.org updates: FAQ, Borrowing and lending, Investing and trading, Shared expenses, project ledger.
There are few things better than doing my taxes every year and being able to confirm every number on every form with simple #hledger queries (which lets me double check both my records and the forms themselves).
Hail PTA fans! Doc updates on hledger.org and plaintextaccounting.org;
a new finance/donations page and public ledger for the PTA site and PTA forum, which is now hosted and seeking sponsors;
fixes for roi --value; a Go client for hledger-web, and more:
Should software like #Obsidian, #Excel, and the various flavours of #PlainTextAccounting be wrestled into doing things that can often be done more easily with other apps, or with #analog solutions? Consider using the 3-step recipe from my latest newsletter for choosing tools that support your values and promote peaceful contentment.
It's true: PTAers are often doing things the hard way, for fun, to learn, or to motivate ourselves. :)
Folks might think that tracking savings goals is hard in PTA; it's not really, of course. The "not supported yet in #hledger" feature was a specific way of hiding old accounts requested by the OP. #Beancount has that feature.
Paper is a very robust and elegant technology. Like digital storage, it does have some pros and cons, too.
#ThisWeekInHledger
I fixed some doc issues on hledger.org: code blocks can now be scrolled normally, and are cheerily color-coded instead of drab grey.
The 1.33 release is still pending. Another gnarly release blocker remains to fix, and I was burned out on those.
Instead, got deeply involved in setting up a new site for PTA discussions [previously tooted]
