 # Changelog
 
-## v3.0.1
+## v3.11.0 - 2022-01-19
 
+- Task now supports printing begin and end messages when using the `group`
+  output mode, useful for grouping tasks in CI systems.
+  [Check out the documentation](http://taskfile.dev/#/usage?id=output-syntax) for more information
+  ([#647](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/647), [#651](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/651)).
+- Add `Taskfile.dist.yml` and `Taskfile.dist.yaml` to the supported file
+  name list. [Check out the documentation](https://taskfile.dev/#/usage?id=supported-file-names) for more information
+  ([#498](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/498), [#666](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/666)).
+
+## v3.10.0 - 2022-01-04
+
+- A new `--list-all` (alias `-a`) flag is now available. It's similar to the
+  exiting `--list` (`-l`) but prints all tasks, even those without a
+  description
+  ([#383](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/383), [#401](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/401)).
+- It's now possible to schedule cleanup commands to run once a task finishes
+  with the `defer:` keyword
+  ([Documentation](https://taskfile.dev/#/usage?id=doing-task-cleanup-with-defer), [#475](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/475), [#626](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/626)).
+- Remove long deprecated and undocumented `$` variable prefix and `^` command
+  prefix
+  ([#642](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/642), [#644](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/644), [#645](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/645)).
+- Add support for `.yaml` extension (as an alternative to `.yml`).
+  This was requested multiple times throughout the years. Enjoy!
+  ([#183](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/183), [#184](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/184), [#369](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/369), [#584](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/584), [#621](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/621)).
+- Fixed error when computing a variable when the task directory do not exist
+  yet
+  ([#481](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/481), [#579](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/579)).
+
+## v3.9.2 - 2021-12-02
+
+- Upgrade [mvdan/sh](https://github.com/mvdan/sh) which contains a fix a for
+  a important regression on Windows
+  ([#619](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/619), [mvdan/sh#768](https://github.com/mvdan/sh/issues/768), [mvdan/sh#769](https://github.com/mvdan/sh/pull/769)).
+
+## v3.9.1 - 2021-11-28
+
+- Add logging in verbose mode for when a task starts and finishes
+  ([#533](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/533), [#588](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/588)).
+- Fix an issue with preconditions and context errors
+  ([#597](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/597), [#598](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/598)).
+- Quote each `{{.CLI_ARGS}}` argument to prevent one with spaces to become many
+  ([#613](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/613)).
+- Fix  nil pointer when `cmd:` was left empty
+  ([#612](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/612), [#614](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/614)).
+- Upgrade [mvdan/sh](https://github.com/mvdan/sh) which contains two
+  relevant fixes:
+  - Fix quote of empty strings in `shellQuote`
+    ([#609](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/609), [mvdan/sh#763](https://github.com/mvdan/sh/issues/763)).
+  - Fix issue of wrong environment variable being picked when there's another
+    very similar one
+    ([#586](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/586), [mvdan/sh#745](https://github.com/mvdan/sh/pull/745)).
+- Install shell completions automatically when installing via Homebrew
+  ([#264](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/264), [#592](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/592), [go-task/homebrew-tap#2](https://github.com/go-task/homebrew-tap/pull/2)).
+
+## v3.9.0 - 2021-10-02
+
+- A new `shellQuote` function was added to the template system
+  (`{{shellQuote "a string"}}`) to ensure a string is safe for use in shell
+  ([mvdan/sh#727](https://github.com/mvdan/sh/pull/727), [mvdan/sh#737](https://github.com/mvdan/sh/pull/737), [Documentation](https://pkg.go.dev/mvdan.cc/sh/v3@v3.4.0/syntax#Quote))
+- In this version [mvdan.cc/sh](https://github.com/mvdan/sh) was upgraded
+  with some small fixes and features
+  - The `read -p` flag is now supported
+    ([#314](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/314), [mvdan/sh#551](https://github.com/mvdan/sh/issues/551), [mvdan/sh#772](https://github.com/mvdan/sh/pull/722))
+  - The `pwd -P` and `pwd -L` flags are now supported
+    ([#553](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/553), [mvdan/sh#724](https://github.com/mvdan/sh/issues/724), [mvdan/sh#728](https://github.com/mvdan/sh/pull/728))
+  - The `$GID` environment variable is now correctly being set
+    ([#561](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/561), [mvdan/sh#723](https://github.com/mvdan/sh/pull/723))
+
+## v3.8.0 - 2021-09-26
+
+- Add `interactive: true` setting to improve support for interactive CLI apps
+  ([#217](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/217), [#563](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/563)).
+- Fix some `nil` errors
+  ([#534](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/534), [#573](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/573)).
+- Add ability to declare an included Taskfile as optional
+  ([#519](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/519), [#552](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/552)).
+- Add support for including Taskfiles in the home directory by using `~`
+  ([#539](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/539), [#557](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/557)).
+
+## v3.7.3 - 2021-09-04
+
+- Add official support to Apple M1 ([#564](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/564), [#567](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/567)).
+- Our [official Homebrew tap](https://github.com/go-task/homebrew-tap) will
+  support more platforms, including Apple M1
+
+## v3.7.0 - 2021-07-31
+
+- Add `run:` setting to control if tasks should run multiple times or not.
+  Available options are `always` (the default), `when_changed` (if a variable
+  modified the task) and `once` (run only once no matter what).
+  This is a long time requested feature. Enjoy!
+  ([#53](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/53), [#359](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/359)).
+
+## v3.6.0 - 2021-07-10
+
+- Allow using both `sources:` and `status:` in the same task
+  ([#411](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/411), [#427](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/427), [#477](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/477)).
+- Small optimization and bug fix: don't compute variables if not needed for
+  `dotenv:` ([#517](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/517)).
+
+## v3.5.0 - 2021-07-04
+
+- Add support for interpolation in `dotenv:`
+  ([#433](https://github.com/go-task/task/discussions/433), [#434](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/434), [#453](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/453)).
+
+## v3.4.3 - 2021-05-30
+
+- Add support for the `NO_COLOR` environment variable.
+  ([#459](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/459), [fatih/color#137](https://github.com/fatih/color/pull/137)).
+- Fix bug where sources were not considering the right directory
+  in `--watch` mode
+  ([#484](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/484), [#485](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/485)).
+
+## v3.4.2 - 2021-04-23
+
+- On watch, report which file failed to read
+  ([#472](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/472)).
+- Do not try to catch SIGKILL signal, which are not actually possible
+  ([#476](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/476)).
+- Improve version reporting when building Task from source using Go Modules
+  ([#462](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/462), [#473](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/473)).
+
+## v3.4.1 - 2021-04-17
+
+- 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](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/467)).
+- A JSON Schema was published [here](https://json.schemastore.org/taskfile.json)
+  and is automatically being used by some editors like Visual Studio Code
+  ([#135](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/135)).
+- Print task name before the command in the log output
+  ([#398](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/398)).
+
+## v3.3.0 - 2021-03-20
+
+- Add support for delegating CLI arguments to commands with `--` and a
+  special `CLI_ARGS` variable
+  ([#327](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/327)).
+- Add a `--concurrency` (alias `-C`) flag, to limit the number of tasks that
+  run concurrently. This is useful for heavy workloads.
+  ([#345](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/345)).
+
+## v3.2.2 - 2021-01-12
+
+- Improve performance of `--list` and `--summary` by skipping running shell
+  variables for these flags
+  ([#332](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/332)).
+- Fixed a bug where an environment in a Taskfile was not always overridable
+  by the system environment
+  ([#425](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/425)).
+- Fixed environment from .env files not being available as variables
+  ([#379](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/379)).
+- The install script is now working for ARM platforms
+  ([#428](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/428)).
+
+## v3.2.1 - 2021-01-09
+
+- Fixed some bugs and regressions regarding dynamic variables and directories
+  ([#426](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/426)).
+- The [slim-sprig](https://github.com/go-task/slim-sprig) package was updated
+  with the upstream [sprig](https://github.com/Masterminds/sprig).
+
+## v3.2.0 - 2021-01-07
+
+- Fix the `.task` directory being created in the task directory instead of the
+  Taskfile directory
+  ([#247](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/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](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/384)).
+- The watch feature (via the `--watch` flag) got a few different bug fixes and
+  should be more stable now
+  ([#423](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/423), [#365](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/365)).
+
+## v3.1.0 - 2021-01-03
+
+- Fix a bug when the checksum up-to-date resolution is used by a task
+  with a custom `label:` attribute
+  ([#412](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/412)).
+- Starting from this release, we're releasing official ARMv6 and ARM64 binaries
+  for Linux
+  ([#375](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/375), [#418](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/418)).
+- Task now respects the order of declaration of included Taskfiles when
+  evaluating variables declaring by them
+  ([#393](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/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](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/403)).
+
+## v3.0.1 - 2020-12-26
+
+- Allow use as a library by moving the required packages out of the `internal`
+  directory
+  ([#358](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/358)).
 - Do not error if a specified dotenv file does not exist
   ([#378](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/378), [#385](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/385)).
 - Fix panic when you have empty tasks in your Taskfile

+# Community
+
+Some of the work to improve the Task ecosystem is done by the community, be
+it installation methods or integrations with code editor. I (the author) am
+thankful for everyone that helps me to improve the overall experience.
+
+## Editor Integrations
+
+### JSON Schema
+
+[@KROSF](https://github.com/KROSF) worked on a JSON Schema [into this Gist](https://gist.github.com/KROSF/c5435acf590acd632f71bb720f685895),
+which later was made officially available by [@Crandel](https://github.com/Crandel)
+at [https://json.schemastore.org/taskfile.json](https://json.schemastore.org/taskfile.json).
+Further improvements are possible by opening pull requests changing
+[this file](https://github.com/SchemaStore/schemastore/blob/master/src/schemas/json/taskfile.json).
+Some code editors, like Visual Studio Code, make use of Schema Store
+automatically.
+
+### Visual Studio Code extension
+
+Additionally, there's also some work done by
+[@paulvarache](https://github.com/paulvarache) in making an Visual Studio Code
+extension, which has its code [here](https://github.com/paulvarache/vscode-taskfile)
+and is published [here](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=paulvarache.vscode-taskfile).
+
+### Sublime Text 4 package
+
+There is a convenience wrapper for initializing and running tasks from Sublime Text's command palette. The package is 
+developed by [@biozz](https://github.com/biozz), the source code is available [here](https://github.com/biozz/sublime-taskfile)
+and it is published on Package Control [here](https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Taskfile).
+
+### IntelliJ plugin
+
+There's a JetBrains IntelliJ plugin done by
+[@lechuckroh](https://github.com/lechuckroh), which has its code [here](https://github.com/lechuckroh/task-intellij-plugin)
+and is published [here](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/17058-taskfile).
+
+## Installation methods
+
+Some installation methods are maintained by third party:
+
+- [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/arduino/setup-task)
+  by [@arduino](https://github.com/arduino)
+- [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/taskfile-git)
+  by [@kovetskiy](https://github.com/kovetskiy)
+- [Scoop](https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop-extras/blob/master/bucket/task.json)
+
+## More
+
+Also, thanks for all the [code contributors](https://github.com/go-task/task/graphs/contributors),
+[financial contributors](https://opencollective.com/task), all those who
+[reported bugs](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues?q=is%3Aissue) and
+[answered questions](https://github.com/go-task/task/discussions).
