Now instead of ledger reg expense -p "this month", you can say:
ledger reg expense for this month
And as a shorthand for "for until this month", you can just say "until
this month" or "since this month".
If you have a typed metadata key which contains an amount, you can use
--inject=KEY to inject a posting with that amount wherever a match
occurs. There are two main forms of usage:
2010-06-18 Sample
; Key:: $100
Expenses:Food $100.00
Assets:Checking
The command would be:
ledger reg --inject=Key
In the above, transactional form, a posting under the account "Key" will
be injected before the first posting reported for this transaction.
It's amount will be $100. This only happens once for the whole
transaction.
It is also possible to associate the key with a posting:
2010-06-18 Sample
Expenses:Food $100.00
; Key:: $100
Assets:Checking
Now the injected posting is generated whenever that particular post is
reported.
If a posting has the metadata field "Payee" set to a string, that will
be used as the payee name for that posting. This affects the register
report, the payees report, and the --by-payee option.
This is useful because sometimes I send, say, 4 checks at a time to my
bank. So on my bank statement, this is all just one amount:
2010-06-17 Sample
Assets:Bank $400.00
Income:Check1 $-100.00
Income:Check2 $-100.00
Income:Check3 $-100.00
Income:Check4 $-100.00
Though it's important that the Assets:Bank posting be a single posting
of $400 value, I'd like for income reports to show whom each check came
from. Now I can say:
2010-06-17 Sample
Assets:Bank $400.00
Income:Check1 $-100.00 ; Payee: Person One
Income:Check2 $-100.00 ; Payee: Person Two
Income:Check3 $-100.00 ; Payee: Person Three
Income:Check4 $-100.00 ; Payee: Person Four
When I report this, it appears as:
10-Jun-17 Sample Assets:Bank $400.00 $400.00
Person One Income:Check1 $-100.00 $300.00
Person Two Income:Check2 $-100.00 $200.00
Person Three Income:Check3 $-100.00 $100.00
Person Four Income:Check4 $-100.00 0
This shows that they are all in the same transaction (which is why the
date is not repeated), but they have different payees.
With -s, -M/Y/D, -n, and a few other flags, postings get "grouped" into
meta-transactions that contain more postings than before. In all these
cases, -V use the date of the *earliest* posting in that group, which
makes little sense and caused breakages with -J. It now uses the latest
date.

This outputs the pricing relationship of commodities in your data file,
as of DATE (optional), using the DOT language. If you have graphviz
installed, it can be viewed quite simply using:
ledger pricemap | dotty -
Each relationship in the graph shows the conversion factor to exchange
one commodity for another, and the date at which this factor was
determined.
The --group-by option allows for most reports to be split up into
sections based on the varying value of EXPR. For example, to see
register subtotals by payee, use:
ledger reg --group-by=payee -s
This works for separated balances too:
ledger bal --group-by=payee
Another interesting possibility is seeing a register of all the accounts
affected by a related account:
ledger reg -r --group-by=payee
The option --group-title-format can be used to add a separator bar to
the group titles. The option --no-titles can be used to drop titles
altogether.
The purpose of this option is to add special "<Rounding>" postings, to
ensure that a regiter's running total is *always* the sum of its
postings. Within --rounding, these adjustment postings are missing,
which was the behavior in Ledger 2.x. It can be orders of magnitude
slower to turn it on for large reports with many commodities.
Where display_account might be '(Expenses:Food)', account will always be
'Expenses:Food'. account is now used by all matching and query
operations, while display_account is used in the various report outputs
(besides balance, which never distinguished virtual accounts).

This is useful for making sure that the column containing the results of
--prepend-format is a consistent width throughout the report (including
those lines where it is not applied).
Fixes 64F9D913-75E1-4830-A3D9-29B72442E68B
Fields are now:
Date,Code,Payee,Account,Commodity,Total,State,Note
Instead of outputting amounts potentially as $1,000.00 (which was an
error anyway), the output is now: $,1000.00. This makes the commodity
available in a separate field, and removes display of thousands markers.
Also, european formatting is always off.
The usages are:
--meta=<TAG> prepend value of TAG before every line
--meta-width=<NUM> force the meta column to be NUM wide
--meta=<TAG>:<NUM> shortcut that also applies --meta-width
These options allow the user to specify what accounts names should be
used for these two types of accounts. They are optional, and default
to:
--unrealized-gains "Equity:Unrealized Gains"
--unrealized-losses "Equity:Unrealized Losses"
These are intended to be set in one's ~/.ledgerrc file.
When this option is on, then in balance report which show market values,
any gains or losses in value will be balanced into a pair of accounts
called Equity:Unrealized Gains and Equity:Unrealized Losses.
