Current status of beancount et.al.

[Alexander Lazarević]

Hi!

I've been doing my personal accounting with beancount for about a year now. It helps me to get an overview of my financial status and I would like to utilize it further.

Until now I'm using Beancount 2.3.6, which comes packaged for manjaro/arch.

Now I saw that there was a release of Beancount 3.0.0 on PyPi. So is it recommended to switch to that version now? Will I have to make adjustments to my beancount ledger file? What is the recommended way to install Beancount 3.x (to get all the "expected" tools)?

What I did was this:

pipx install beancount

pipx install beanquery

pipx install beanprice

Or maybe it is recommended to directly install the packages from github?

What I'm missing is bean-report for example (there is now beanreport package). But maybe it is part of another package I'm not aware of.

What about bean-price? Since the google/yahoo APIs are not available for free anymore, is it required to get a paid subscription for any API with bean-price? Or is there a way to use the free Frankfurter API to get the exchange rates published by the European Central Bank with bean-price?

Sorry if this has been answered already, but I'm just catching up on the mailing list.

Regards, Alex

- Switch to 3.x, no effort will be put on 2.x anymore

- bean-report and bean-web are deprecated, use beanquery and fava instead

- other tools have been moved to their own repo (in the beancount org on github)

Very little time for maintenance these days, always welcoming patches.
