ANN: Tackler-ng 24.11.1 released

I'm happy to announce rough feature parity release of Tackler-ng!

The Tackler-NG, rusty version of Tackler, has rough feature parity with the old Scala code base with this 24.11.1 release.

Read this post here with links: Rusty Tackler Feature Parity | Tackler plain text accounting as I'm exceeding my link quota.

The Tackler Journal Format is fully supported, and all transaction storage backends are also supported:

  • FS backend (filesystem based)
  • Git backend (native Gitoxide based support for Git SCM)

All reports and exports are supported:

  • Balance, Balance Group and Register reports
  • Equity and Identity exports

Other notable supported features are:

  • Audit mode
  • Commodities and Shares
  • Transaction Filters
  • Transacation Geo Location and Transaction Geo Filters

The tackler --help, Tackler-NG Configuration and Tackler documentation have more information.

How to get and build Tackler-NG

# Get the source code
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/e257-fi/tackler-ng

cd tackler-ng

# Select the latest release
git checkout v24.11.1

# Build the tackler 
cargo build --release --locked --bin tackler

# Check the version info
target/release/tackler --version

Simple example

This uses filesystem based storage backend, no account name validations, not auditing features.

Command

target/release/tackler --config examples/simple.toml

Output

Let's play for real - Git storage and Audit mode

This examples use bare git repository as transaction storage, and also strict and audit mode is activated by configuration. This means that all accounts, commodity names and tags are validated. The triplet of git commit id, Txn Set Checksum and Account Selector Checksum provides auditable (cryptographic) proof of transactions used by reports.

Command

target/release/tackler \
    --config examples/audit.toml

Output

Transaction Filters

This example uses transaction filters to filter the report's transactions. This is visible in example output by Txn Set Checksum and by different Set Size.

Command

target/release/tackler \
    --config examples/audit.toml \
    --input.git.ref txns-1E5 \
    --api-filter-def '{"txnFilter":{"TxnFilterPostingAccount":{"regex":"^a:ay2016:am12"}}}'

The transaction filter definition could be given also as Base64 ascii armored string:

--api-filter-def \
