- If there's a lot of accounts to calculate balances for, then recurring transactions create page
doesn't load. Partly because it has to calculate a lot of balances, but partly because the cache
isn't being used at all because date is `new Date` rather than say, end of month.
Fix: Change Steam balance calculator to always default cache using end of month. Since cache is
'invalidated' upon any edit, there's no reason to use current datetime anywhere its not explicitly
required by user flow.
Fix: Don't calculate balances for revenue / expense accounts since those are unbounded.
Issue: #3597
Currently the php function `number_format` is used to format currencies.
This is problematic as we have to figure out different things for
different currencies ourselves. These formats are determined based on
the libc's locale functions.
The issue arises where an OS doesn't have the proper locales installed,
or, in some cases, it's not supported (see below on multiple issues).
This addresses this issue by using the php-intl extensions to format the
numbers based on the locale. The extension is already a requirement in
`composer.json`. The solution does not rely on `LC_MONETARY` from the
underlying libc (which in Alpine Linux's case, which uses musl, is not
supported as of yet).
