v3.4.2

• On watch, report which file failed to read (#472).
• Do not try to catch SIGKILL signal, which are not actually possible (#476).
• Improve version reporting when building Task from source using Go Modules (#462, #473).

v3.4.1

• Improve error reporting when parsing YAML: in some situations where you would just see an generic error, you'll now see the actual error with more detail: the YAML line the failed to parse, for example (#467).
• A JSON Schema was published here and is automatically being used by some editors like Visual Studio Code (#135).
• Print task name before the command in the log output (#398).

v3.3.0

• Add support for delegating CLI arguments to commands with -- and a special CLI_ARGS variable (#327).
• Add a --concurrency (alias -C) flag, to limit the number of tasks that run concurrently. This is useful for heavy workloads (#345).

v3.2.2

• Improve performance of --list and --summary by skipping running shell variables for these flags (#332).
• Fixed a bug where an environment in a Taskfile was not always overridable by the system environment (#425).
• Fixed environment from .env files not being available as variables (#379).
• The install script is now working for ARM platforms (#428).

v3.2.1

• Fixed some bugs and regressions regarding dynamic variables and directories (#426).
• The slim-sprig package was updated with the upstream sprig.

v3.2.0

• Fix the .task directory being created in the task directory instead of the Taskfile directory (#247).
• Fix a bug where dynamic variables (those declared with sh:) were not running in the task directory when the task has a custom dir or it was in an included Taskfile (#384).
• The watch feature (via the --watch flag) got a few different bug fixes and should be more stable now (#423, #365).

v3.1.0

• Fix a bug when the checksum up-to-date resolution is used by a task with a custom label: attribute (#412).
• Starting from this release, we're releasing official ARMv6 and ARM64 binaries for Linux (#375, #418).
• Task now respects the order of declaration of included Taskfiles when evaluating variables declaring by them (#393).
• set -e is now automatically set on every command. This was done to fix an issue where multiline string commands wouldn't really fail unless the sentence was in the last line (#403).

v3.0.1

• Allow use as a library by moving the required packages out of the internal directory (#358).
• Do not error if a specified dotenv file does not exist (#378, #385).
• Fix panic when you have empty tasks in your Taskfile (#338, #362).

v3.0.0

Changelog

• On v3, all CLI variables will be considered global variables (#336, #341)
• Add support to .env like files (#324, #356).
• Add label: to task so you can override the task name in the logs (#321, #337).
• Refactor how variables work on version 3 (#311).
• Disallow expansions on v3 since it has no effect.
• Taskvars.yml is not automatically included anymore.
• Taskfile_{{OS}}.yml is not automatically included anymore.
• Allow interpolation on includes, so you can manually include a Taskfile based on operation system, for example.
• Expose .TASK variable in templates with the task name (#252).
• Implement short task syntax (#194, #240).
• Added option to make included Taskfile run commands on its own directory (#260, #144)
• Taskfiles in version 1 are not supported anymore (#237).
• Added global method: option. With this option, you can set a default method to all tasks in a Taskfile (#246).
• Changed default method from timestamp to checksum (#246).
• New magic variables are now available when using status:: .TIMESTAMP which contains the greatest modification date from the files listed in sources:, and .CHECKSUM, which contains a checksum of all files listed in status:. This is useful for manual checking when using external, or even remote, artifacts when using status: (#216).
• We're now using slim-sprig instead of sprig, which allowed a file size reduction of about 22% (#219).
• We now use some colors on Task output to better distinguish message types - commands are green, errors are red, etc (#207).
