[Haskell-cafe] ANN: hledger 0.9 released

[Simon Michael]

I'm pleased to announce a new hledger release, with many bugfixes and
small improvements, GHC 6.12 support, and a separate library package
to make building (h)ledger-compatible tools easier.

Thanks to Oliver Braun and Gwern Branwen for code contributions this
release.

Just in time for tax filing! :) Patches, feedback, contributions  
welcome.

Best,
-Simon

......................

   * ghc 6.12 support
   * split off hledger-lib package, containing core types & utils

backreferences in replace pattern
   * convert: basic csv file checking, warn instead of dying when it  
looks wrong
