 # Changelog

-## Unreleased
-
- A small behavior change was made to dependencies. Task will now wait for all
-  dependencies to finish running before continuing, even if any of them fail.
-  To opt for the previous behavior, set `failfast: true` either on your
-  `.taskrc.yml` or per task, or use the `--failfast` flag, which will also work
-  for `--parallel` (#1246, #2525 by @andreynering).
- Fix RPM upload to Cloudsmith by including the version in the filename to
-  ensure unique filenames (#2507 by @vmaerten).
- Fix `run: when_changed` to work properly for Taskfiles included multiple times
-  (#2508, #2511 by @trulede).
- The `--summary` flag now displays `vars:` (both global and task-level),
-  `env:`, and `requires:` sections. Dynamic variables show their shell command
-  (e.g., `sh: echo "hello"`) instead of the evaluated value (#2486 ,#2524 by
-  @vmaerten).
- Improved shell completion scripts (Zsh, Fish, PowerShell) by adding missing
-  flags and dynamic experimental feature detection (#2532 by @vmaerten).
- Improved performance of fuzzy task name matching by implementing lazy
-  initialization. Added `--disable-fuzzy` flag and `disable-fuzzy` taskrc option
-  to allow disabling fuzzy matching entirely (#2521, #2523 by @vmaerten).
- Added LLM-optimized documentation via VitePress plugin, generating `llms.txt`
-  and `llms-full.txt` for AI-powered development tools (#2513 by @vmaerten).
- Fixed Zsh and Fish completions to stop suggesting task names after `--`
-  separator, allowing proper CLI_ARGS completion (#1843, #1844 by
-  @boiledfroginthewell).
- Remote Taskfiles now accept `application/octet-stream` Content-Type (#2536,
-  #1944 by @vmaerten).
- Added `--trusted-hosts` CLI flag and `remote.trusted-hosts` config option to
-  skip confirmation prompts for specified hosts when using Remote Taskfiles
-  (#2491, #2473 by @maciejlech).
- Shell completion now works when Task is installed or aliased under a different
-  binary name via TASK_EXE environment variable (#2495, #2468 by @vmaerten).
- Some small fixes and improvements were made to `task --init` and to the
-  default Taskfile it generates (#2433 by @andreynering).
-
-## v3.45.5 - 2025-11-11
-
- Fixed bug that made a generic message, instead of an useful one, appear when a
-  Taskfile could not be found (#2431 by @andreynering).
- Fixed a bug that caused an error when including a Remote Git Taskfile (#2438
-  by @twelvelabs).
- Fixed issue where `.taskrc.yml` was not returned if reading it failed, and
-  corrected handling of remote entrypoint Taskfiles (#2460, #2461 by @vmaerten).
- Improved performance of `--list` and `--list-all` by introducing a faster
-  compilation method that skips source globbing and checksum updates (#1322,
-  #2053 by @vmaerten).
- Fixed a concurrency bug with `output: group`. This ensures that begin/end
-  parts won't be mixed up from different tasks (#1208, #2349, #2350 by
-  @trulede).
- Do not re-evaluate variables for `defer:` (#2244, #2418 by @trulede).
- Improve error message when a Taskfile is not found (#2441, #2494 by
-  @vmaerten).
- Fixed generic error message `exit status 1` when a dependency task failed
-  (#2286 by @GrahamDennis).
- Fixed YAML library from the unmaintained `gopkg.in/yaml.v3` to the new fork
-  maintained by the official YAML org (#2171, #2434 by @andreynering).
- On Windows, the built-in version of the `rm` core utils contains a fix related
-  to the `-f` flag (#2426,
-  [u-root/u-root#3464](https://github.com/u-root/u-root/pull/3464),
-  [mvdan/sh#1199](https://github.com/mvdan/sh/pull/1199), #2506 by
-  @andreynering).
-
-## v3.45.4 - 2025-09-17
-
- Fixed a bug where `cache-expiry` could not be defined in `.taskrc.yml` (#2423
-  by @vmaerten).
- Fixed a bug where `.taskrc.yml` files in parent folders were not read
-  correctly (#2424 by @vmaerten).
- Fixed a bug where autocomplete in subfolders did not work with zsh (#2425 by
-  @vmaerten).
-
-## v3.45.3 - 2025-09-15
-
- Task now includes built-in core utilities to greatly improve compatibility on
-  Windows. This means that your commands that uses `cp`, `mv`, `mkdir` or any
-  other common core utility will now work by default on Windows, without extra
-  setup. This is something we wanted to address for many many years, and it's
-  finally being shipped!
-  [Read our blog post this the topic](https://taskfile.dev/blog/windows-core-utils).
-  (#197, #2360 by @andreynering).
- :sparkles: Built and deployed a [brand new website](https://taskfile.dev)
-  using [VitePress](https://vitepress.dev) (#2359, #2369, #2371, #2375, #2378 by
-  @vmaerten, @andreynering, @pd93).
- Began releasing
-  [nightly builds](https://github.com/go-task/task/releases/tag/nightly). This
-  will allow people to test our changes before they are fully released and
-  without having to install Go to build them (#2358 by @vmaerten).
- Added support for global config files in `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/task/taskrc.yml` or
-  `$HOME/.taskrc.yml`. Check out our new
-  [configuration guide](https://taskfile.dev/docs/reference/config) for more
-  details (#2247, #2380, #2390, #2391 by @vmaerten, @pd93).
- Added experiments to the taskrc schema to clarify the expected keys and values
-  (#2235 by @vmaerten).
- Added support for new properties in `.taskrc.yml`: insecure, verbose,
-  concurrency, remote offline, remote timeout, and remote expiry. :warning:
-  Note: setting offline via environment variable is no longer supported. (#2389
-  by @vmaerten)
- Added a `--nested` flag when outputting tasks using `--list --json`. This will
-  output tasks in a nested structure when tasks are namespaced (#2415 by @pd93).
- Enhanced support for tasks with wildcards: they are now logged correctly, and
-  wildcard parameters are fully considered during fingerprinting (#1808, #1795
-  by @vmaerten).
- Fixed panic when a variable was declared as an empty hash (`{}`) (#2416, #2417
-  by @trulede).
-
-#### Package API
-
- Bumped the minimum version of Go to 1.24 (#2358 by @vmaerten).
-
-#### Other news
-
-We recently released our
-[official GitHub Action](https://github.com/go-task/setup-task). This is based
-on the fantastic work by the Arduino team who created and maintained the
-community version. Now that this is officially adopted, fixes/updates should be
-more timely. We have already merged a couple of longstanding PRs in our
-[first release](https://github.com/go-task/setup-task/releases/tag/v1.0.0) (by
-@pd93, @shrink, @trim21 and all the previous contributors to
-[arduino/setup-task](https://github.com/arduino/setup-task/)).
-
-## v3.45.0-v3.45.2 - 2025-09-15
-
-Failed due to an issue with our release process.
-
 ## v3.44.1 - 2025-07-23
