This may require adjusting of (numeric) stock symbols for which updated_beancounter attempts to test. . - New command 'fxbackpopulate' to grab historical currency data from Yahoo!. With this added capability, portfolios with non-home country stocks can run reports for profit/loss or risk without having to built the database over time. . The major bummer is that Yahoo! stores historic currency data in a braindead format of only two decimals so we get suboptimal accuracy. . - Changed setup_beancounter to transform example portfolio into one composed of one stock each from US, CA, FR and DE. Backpopulates for prices and currencies and runs p/l and risk reports right out of the box. . - Simplified quote gathering code in BeanCounter.pm; requests for all markets can go against the main Yahoo! server. . - Applied patch by Ken Neighbors <ken@nsds.com> to use a different Yahoo! source URL for historic prices, correct a one-off error in date / month conversion and correct documentation. . * Detailed changes . - beancounter: New command (and function) 'fxbackpopulate' . - beancounter: Corrected small mistakes in documentation via Ken's patch, added documentation and examples re 'fxbackpopulate' . - BeanCounter.pm: Ken's patch re other URL, and one-off month error . - BeanCounter.pm: New function DatabaseHistoricalFXData . - BeanCounter.pm: Commented out a lot of code no longer required as all current price data can be had from one main Yahoo! source . - BeanCounter.pm: Ensure new rows in 'stockinfo' table are set to active . - BeanCounter.pm: Use Finance::YahooQuote, delete code thus made redundant . - setup_beancounter: Updated HP to HPQ (from HWP) in Dow example . - setup_beancounter: Changed example portfolio from two US stocks to one each from US,CA,FR,DE, added fxbackpopulate call for CAD and EUR . - setup_beancounter: Smartened up the use of 'last business day' for the example portfolio: on weekends or Monday we use 'last friday', on other days we use 'yesterday' and made sure all example reports use this date Files: fa632982122a79ed0cd5ccb846ecddcd 509 misc optional beancounter_0.6.0.dsc 58e6d30472a37782999e9888adc74cc8 59165 misc optional beancounter_0.6.0.tar.gz bac2fdb7a1dfc5cacde9e641907028b9 69354 misc optional beancounter_0.6.0_all.deb -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+D6kiCZSR95Gw07cRAsKGAJ0c7XlZvvAxr4Oc5vbLGZt+MdNjsACgi4JZ btakOz8UlL4RBEfrxgRlj0E= =LLmt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Accepted: beancounter_0.6.0.dsc to pool/main/b/beancounter/beancounter_0.6.0.dsc beancounter_0.6.0.tar.gz to pool/main/b/beancounter/beancounter_0.6.0.tar.gz beancounter_0.6.0_all.deb to pool/main/b/beancounter/beancounter_0.6.0_all.deb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-changes-request@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
