3.0

Due to the magnitude of changes in 3.0, only changes that affect compatibility
with 2.x files and usage is mentioned here. For a description of new
features, please see the manual.

• The option -g (--performance) was removed.
• The balance report now defaults to showing all relevant accounts. This is
  the opposite of 2.x. That is, bal in 3.0 does what -s bal did in 2.x.
  To see 2.6 behavior, use "bal -n" in 3.0. The -s option no longer has any
  effect on balance reports.
