I think I figured it out. I used a test file with a single transaction
and added information from there, and it looks like giving a top-of-file
year specification as "Y2014" rather than "year 2014" messes up the date
period parsing.
This file reported "today" correctly:
-------
year 2014
05/12 * 大茶叶 ; beef bones from the butcher I'm never going to again
Expenses:Food:Market 26.00 RMB
Assets:Cash
-------
This one gives no transactions for "today", but does for "May 12":
------
Y2014
05/12 * 大茶叶 ; beef bones from the butcher I'm never going to again
Expenses:Food:Market 26.00 RMB
Assets:Cash
------
Not a disaster, as it looks like "year 2014" is the recommended new
format. "Y2014" is still mentioned in the manual -- maybe it should just
be dispensed with?
Thanks,
Eric
