financeager

Added

• Configuration.get_option() returns converted option value if an option was assigned a type (int, float, boolean). Available option types are also used for validating configuration. PluginConfiguration.init_option_types() is added to enable option typing in plugins. (#56)
• The output of the 'list' command shows the difference of total earnings and expenses. (#29)
• The output of the 'list' command shows only category entries incl. their percentage share in total listing values when the '--category-percentage' option is specified. (#33)
• The output of the 'list' command shows only monthly entries with the '--month' option. Default value is the current month. (#55)
• Command line tab completion is provided by the argcomplete package. (#47)

Changed

• The PluginConfiguration.validate() method is not required to be implemented in derived classes anymore.
• Instead of having Configuration.get_option() return a section if no option was specified, a method get_section() is introduced.
• clients.Client() takes a mandatory keyword argument 'configuration'. (#57)
• 'marshmallow' is used for data validation instead of 'schematics'. (#48)

Deprecated

• The database structure will undergo a major change in version 0.25.0.0. Please follow the corresponding issue for more details and about how to migrate.

Removed

• The Configuration.getattr() method enabling 'magic' access of underlying ConfigParser methods.

Fixed

• The SERVICE:FLASK timeout configuration option is now taken into account if specified in a configuration file.
• Non-error and non-debug program (standard) output is put to stdout instead of stderr. This enables proper redirecting of program output acc. to the norm of a UNIX tool.
• financeager log files are now properly rotated.
• financeager exits with a non-zero exit code if execution errored.
• When invoked without any arguments, financeager now shows usage info instead of a confusing exception traceback.
• Entries added on February 29th can be displayed as result of list or get.

Added

• The app is tested against Python 3.9.

Changed

• The 'none' value for the SERVICE.name configuration option is renamed to 'local'.

Fixed

• Filtering by the 'value' field when using the list command now works. (#58)

Removed

• As announced in v0.23.0.0, flask-webservice related functionality has been moved to a dedicated plugin, financeager-flask. If you were using the flask-webservice before, install the new package when updating financeager, at least on the client side. (#53)

Added

• Extensibility by plugins. The only group supported so far is 'financeager.services'. Related adjustments in the cli, clients, and config modules. A plugin module is added. (#53)
• New classes FlaskClient and LocalServerClient, as well as factory function create() in clients module.
• Test against Python 3.8 on Travis CI.

Changed

• Client.Out is renamed to Client.Sinks.
• The versioning scheme now adheres to '0.major.minor.patch' to correctly indicate impacts of new releases. (#54)

Fixed

• Client-side communication interface is abstracted in the Client class.

Fixed

• Database files are properly closed after test runs involving a Flask app. (#42)
