 # Changelog
 
+## v3.16.0 - 2022-09-29
+
+- Add `npm` as new installation method: `npm i -g @go-task/cli`
+  ([#870](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/870), [#871](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/871), [npm package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@go-task/cli)).
+- Add support to marking tasks and includes as internal, which will hide them
+  from `--list` and `--list-all`
+  ([#818](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/818)).
+
+## v3.15.2 - 2022-09-08
+
+- Fix error when using variable in `env:` introduced in the previous release
+  ([#858](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/858), [#866](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/866)).
+- Fix handling of `CLI_ARGS` (`--`) in Bash completion
+  ([#863](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/863)).
+- On zsh completion, add ability to replace `--list-all` with `--list` as
+  already possible on the Bash completion
+  ([#861](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/861)).
+
+## v3.15.0 - 2022-09-03
+
+- Add new special variables `ROOT_DIR` and `TASKFILE_DIR`. This was a highly
+  requested feature
+  ([#215](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/215), [#857](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/857), [Documentation](https://taskfile.dev/api/#special-variables)).
+- Follow symlinks on `sources`
+  ([#826](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/826), [#831](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/831)).
+- Improvements and fixes to Bash completion
+  ([#835](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/835), [#844](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/844)).
+
+## v3.14.1 - 2022-08-03
+
+- Always resolve relative include paths relative to the including Taskfile
+  ([#822](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/822), [#823](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/823)).
+- Fix ZSH and PowerShell completions to consider all tasks instead of just the
+  public ones (those with descriptions)
+  ([#803](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/803)).
+
+## v3.14.0 - 2022-07-08
+
+- Add ability to override the `.task` directory location with the
+  `TASK_TEMP_DIR` environment variable.
+- Allow to override Task colors using environment variables:
+  `TASK_COLOR_RESET`, `TASK_COLOR_BLUE`, `TASK_COLOR_GREEN`,
+  `TASK_COLOR_CYAN`, `TASK_COLOR_YELLOW`, `TASK_COLOR_MAGENTA`
+  and `TASK_COLOR_RED`
+  ([#568](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/568), [#792](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/792)).
+- Fixed bug when using the `output: group` mode where STDOUT and STDERR were
+  being print in separated blocks instead of in the right order
+  ([#779](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/779)).
+- Starting on this release, ARM architecture binaries are been released to Snap
+  as well
+  ([#795](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/795)).
+- i386 binaries won't be available anymore on Snap because Ubuntu removed the support
+  for this architecture.
+- Upgrade mvdan.cc/sh, which fixes a bug with associative arrays
+  ([#785](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/785), [mvdan/sh#884](https://github.com/mvdan/sh/issues/884), [mvdan/sh#893](https://github.com/mvdan/sh/pull/893)).
+
+## v3.13.0 - 2022-06-13
+
+- Added `-n` as an alias to `--dry`
+  ([#776](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/776), [#777](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/777)).
+- Fix behavior of interrupt (SIGINT, SIGTERM) signals. Task will now give time
+  for the processes running to do cleanup work
+  ([#458](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/458), [#479](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/479), [#728](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/728), [#769](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/769)).
+- Add new `--exit-code` (`-x`) flag that will pass-through the exit form the
+  command being ran
+  ([#755](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/755)).
+
+## v3.12.1 - 2022-05-10
+
+- Fixed bug where, on Windows, variables were ending with `\r` because we were
+  only removing the final `\n` but not `\r\n`
+  ([#717](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/717)).
+
+## v3.12.0 - 2022-03-31
+
+- The `--list` and `--list-all` flags can now be combined with the `--silent`
+  flag to print the task names only, without their description
+  ([#691](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/691)).
+- Added support for multi-level inclusion of Taskfiles. This means that
+  included Taskfiles can also include other Taskfiles. Before this was limited
+  to one level
+  ([#390](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/390), [#623](https://github.com/go-task/task/discussions/623), [#656](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/656)).
+- Add ability to specify vars when including a Taskfile.
+  [Check out the documentation](https://taskfile.dev/#/usage?id=vars-of-included-taskfiles)
+  for more information.
+  ([#677](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/677)).
+
+## v3.11.0 - 2022-02-19
+
+- 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

+Task command line tool has the following syntax:
+
+```bash
+task [--flags] [tasks...] [-- CLI_ARGS...]
+```
+
+:::tip
+
+If `--` is given, all remaning arguments will be assigned to a special `CLI_ARGS`
+variable
+
+:::
+
+| Short | Flag | Type | Default | Description |
+| - | - | - | - | - |
+| `-c` | `--color` | `bool` | `true` | Colored output. Enabled by default. Set flag to `false` or use `NO_COLOR=1` to disable. |
+| `-C` | `--concurrency` | `int` | `0` | Limit number tasks to run concurrently. Zero means unlimited. |
+| `-d` | `--dir` | `string` | Working directory | Sets directory of execution. |
+| `-n` | `--dry` | `bool` | `false` | Compiles and prints tasks in the order that they would be run, without executing them. |
+| `-x` | `--exit-code` | `bool` | `false` | Pass-through the exit code of the task command. |
+| `-f` | `--force` | `bool` | `false` | Forces execution even when the task is up-to-date. |
+| `-h` | `--help` | `bool` | `false` | Shows Task usage. |
+| `-i` | `--init` | `bool` | `false` | Creates a new Taskfile.yaml in the current folder. |
+| `-l` | `--list` | `bool` | `false` | Lists tasks with description of current Taskfile. |
+| `-a` | `--list-all` | `bool` | `false` | Lists tasks with or without a description. |
+| `-o` | `--output` | `string` | Default set in the Taskfile or `intervealed` | Sets output style: [`interleaved`/`group`/`prefixed`]. |
+|      | `--output-group-begin` | `string` | | Message template to print before a task's grouped output. |
+|      | `--output-group-end `  | `string` | | Message template to print after a task's grouped output. |
+| `-p` | `--parallel` | `bool` | `false` | Executes tasks provided on command line in parallel. |
+| `-s` | `--silent` | `bool` | `false` | Disables echoing. |
+|      | `--status` | `bool` | `false` | Exits with non-zero exit code if any of the given tasks is not up-to-date. |
+|      | `--summary` | `bool` | `false` | Show summary about a task. |
+| `-t` | `--taskfile` | `string` | `Taskfile.yml` or `Taskfile.yaml` | |
+| `-v` | `--verbose` | `bool` | `false` | Enables verbose mode. |
+|      | `--version` | `bool` | `false` | Show Task version. |

+| `CLI_ARGS` | Contain all extra arguments passed after `--` when calling Task through the CLI. |
+| `TASK` | The name of the current task. |
+| `ROOT_DIR` | The absolute path of the root Taskfile. |
+| `TASKFILE_DIR` | The absolute path of the included Taskfile. |
+| `CHECKSUM` | The checksum of the files listed in `sources`. Only available within the `status` prop and if method is set to `checksum`. |
+| `TIMESTAMP` | The date object of the greatest timestamp of the files listes in `sources`. Only available within the `status` prop and if method is set to `timestamp`. |

+
+
+### Include
+
+| Attribute | Type | Default | Description |
+| - | - | - | - |
+| `taskfile` | `string` | | The path for the Taskfile or directory to be included. If a directory, Task will look for files named `Taskfile.yml` or `Taskfile.yaml` inside that directory. If a relative path, resolved relative to the directory containing the including Taskfile. |
+| `dir` | `string` | The parent Taskfile directory | The working directory of the included tasks when run. |
+| `optional` | `bool` | `false` | If `true`, no errors will be thrown if the specified file does not exist. |
+| `internal` | `bool` | `false` | If `true`, tasks will be omitted from both `--list` and `--list-all`. |
+
+:::info
+
+Informing only a string like below is equivalent to setting that value to the `taskfile` attribute.
+
+```yaml
+includes:
+  foo: ./path
+```
+
+:::
+
+### Task
+
+| Attribute | Type | Default | Description |
+| - | - | - | - |
+| `desc` | `string` | | A short description of the task. This is listed when calling `task --list`. |
+| `summary` | `string` | | A longer description of the task. This is listed when calling `task --summary [task]`. |
+| `sources` | `[]string` | | List of sources to check before running this task. Relevant for `checksum` and `timestamp` methods. Can be file paths or star globs. |
+| `dir` | `string` | | The current directory which this task should run. |
+| `method` | `string` | `checksum` | Method used by this task. Default to the one declared globally or `checksum`. Available options: `checksum`, `timestamp` and `none` |
+| `silent` | `bool` | `false` | Skips some output for this task. Note that STDOUT and STDERR of the commands will still be redirected. |
+| `internal` | `bool` | `false` | If `true`, omit this task from both `--list` and `--list-all`. |
+| `run` | `string` | The one declared globally in the Taskfile or `always` | Specifies whether the task should run again or not if called more than once. Available options: `always`, `once` and `when_changed`. |
+| `prefix` | `string` | | Allows to override the prefix print before the STDOUT. Only relevant when using the `prefixed` output mode. |
+| `ignore_error` | `bool` | `false` | Continue execution if errors happen while executing the commands. |
+| `generates` | `[]string` | | List of files meant to be generated by this task. Relevant for `timestamp` method. Can be file paths or star globs. |
+| `status` | `[]string` | | List of commands to check if this task should run. The task is skipped otherwise. This overrides `method`, `sources` and `generates`. |
+| `preconditions` | [`[]Precondition`](#precondition) | | List of commands to check if this task should run. The task errors otherwise. |
+| `vars` | [`map[string]Variable`](#variable) | | Task variables. |

+| `cmds` | [`[]Command`](#command) | | List of commands to be executed. |
+
+:::info
+
+These alternative syntaxes are available. They will set the given values to
+`cmds` and everything else will be set to their default values:
+
+```yaml
+tasks:
+  foo: echo "foo"
+
+  foobar:
+    - echo "foo"
+    - echo "bar"
+
+  baz:

+| `task` | `string` | | The task to be execute as a dependency. |
+| `vars` | [`map[string]Variable`](#variable) | | Optional additional variables to be passed to this task. |
+
+:::tip
+
+If you don't want to set additional variables, it's enough to declare the
+dependency as a list of strings (they will be assigned to `task`):
+
+```yaml
+tasks:
+  foo:
+    deps: [foo, bar]
+```
+
+:::
+

+| `vars` | [`map[string]Variable`](#variable) | | Optional additional variables to be passed to the referenced task. Only relevant when setting `task` instead of `cmd`. |
+
+:::info
+
+If given as a a string, the value will be assigned to `cmd`:
+
+```yaml
+tasks:
+  foo:
+    cmds:
+      - echo "foo"
+      - echo "bar"
+```
+
+:::
+

+| `sh` | `string` | | A shell command. The output (`STDOUT`) will be assigned to the variable. |
+
+:::info
+
+Static and dynamic variables have different syntaxes, like below:
+
+```yaml
+vars:
+  STATIC: static
+  DYNAMIC:
+    sh: echo "dynamic"
+```
+
+:::
+
+### Precondition
+
+| Attribute | Type | Default | Description |

+like this and the value will be assigned to `sh`:
+
+```yaml
+tasks:
+  foo:
+    precondition: test -f Taskfile.yml
+```

+- Add support to marking tasks and includes as internal, which will hide them
+  from `--list` and `--list-all`
+  ([#818](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/818)).
+
+## v3.15.2 - 2022-09-08
+
+- Fix error when using variable in `env:` introduced in the previous release
+  ([#858](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/858), [#866](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/866)).
+- Fix handling of `CLI_ARGS` (`--`) in Bash completion
+  ([#863](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/863)).
+- On zsh completion, add ability to replace `--list-all` with `--list` as
+  already possible on the Bash completion
+  ([#861](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/861)).
+
+## v3.15.0 - 2022-09-03
+
+- Add new special variables `ROOT_DIR` and `TASKFILE_DIR`. This was a highly
+  requested feature
+  ([#215](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/215), [#857](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/857), [Documentation](https://taskfile.dev/api/#special-variables)).
+- Follow symlinks on `sources`
+  ([#826](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/826), [#831](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/831)).
+- Improvements and fixes to Bash completion
+  ([#835](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/835), [#844](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/844)).
+
+## v3.14.1 - 2022-08-03
+
+- Always resolve relative include paths relative to the including Taskfile
+  ([#822](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/822), [#823](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/823)).
+- Fix ZSH and PowerShell completions to consider all tasks instead of just the
+  public ones (those with descriptions)
+  ([#803](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/803)).
+
+## v3.14.0 - 2022-07-08
+
+- Add ability to override the `.task` directory location with the
+  `TASK_TEMP_DIR` environment variable.
+- Allow to override Task colors using environment variables:
+  `TASK_COLOR_RESET`, `TASK_COLOR_BLUE`, `TASK_COLOR_GREEN`,
+  `TASK_COLOR_CYAN`, `TASK_COLOR_YELLOW`, `TASK_COLOR_MAGENTA`
+  and `TASK_COLOR_RED`
+  ([#568](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/568), [#792](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/792)).
+- Fixed bug when using the `output: group` mode where STDOUT and STDERR were
+  being print in separated blocks instead of in the right order
+  ([#779](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/779)).
+- Starting on this release, ARM architecture binaries are been released to Snap
+  as well
+  ([#795](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/795)).
+- i386 binaries won't be available anymore on Snap because Ubuntu removed the support
+  for this architecture.
+- Upgrade mvdan.cc/sh, which fixes a bug with associative arrays
+  ([#785](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/785), [mvdan/sh#884](https://github.com/mvdan/sh/issues/884), [mvdan/sh#893](https://github.com/mvdan/sh/pull/893)).
+
+## v3.13.0 - 2022-06-13
+
+- Added `-n` as an alias to `--dry`
+  ([#776](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/776), [#777](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/777)).
+- Fix behavior of interrupt (SIGINT, SIGTERM) signals. Task will now give time
+  for the processes running to do cleanup work
+  ([#458](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/458), [#479](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/479), [#728](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/728), [#769](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/769)).
+- Add new `--exit-code` (`-x`) flag that will pass-through the exit form the
+  command being ran
+  ([#755](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/755)).
+
+## v3.12.1 - 2022-05-10
+
+- Fixed bug where, on Windows, variables were ending with `\r` because we were
+  only removing the final `\n` but not `\r\n`
+  ([#717](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/717)).
+
+## v3.12.0 - 2022-03-31
+
+- The `--list` and `--list-all` flags can now be combined with the `--silent`
+  flag to print the task names only, without their description
+  ([#691](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/691)).
+- Added support for multi-level inclusion of Taskfiles. This means that
+  included Taskfiles can also include other Taskfiles. Before this was limited
+  to one level
+  ([#390](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/390), [#623](https://github.com/go-task/task/discussions/623), [#656](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/656)).

+  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)).

+- 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

+
+## 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

+  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
+  ([#338](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/338), [#362](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/362)).
+
+## v3.0.0 - 2020-08-16
+
+- On `v3`, all CLI variables will be considered global variables
+  ([#336](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/336), [#341](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/341))
+- Add support to `.env` like files
+  ([#324](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/324), [#356](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/356)).
+- Add `label:` to task so you can override the task name in the logs
+  ([#321](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/321]), [#337](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/337)).
+- Refactor how variables work on version 3
+  ([#311](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/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](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/252)).
+- Implement short task syntax
+  ([#194](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/194), [#240](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/240)).
+- Added option to make included Taskfile run commands on its own directory
+  ([#260](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/260), [#144](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/144))
+- Taskfiles in version 1 are not supported anymore
+  ([#237](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/237)).
+- Added global `method:` option. With this option, you can set a default
+  method to all tasks in a Taskfile
+  ([#246](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/246)).
+- Changed default method from `timestamp` to `checksum`
+  ([#246](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/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](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/216)).
+- We're now using [slim-sprig](https://github.com/go-task/slim-sprig) instead of
+  [sprig](https://github.com/Masterminds/sprig), which allowed a file size
+  reduction of about 22%
+  ([#219](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/219)).
+- We now use some colors on Task output to better distinguish message types -
+  commands are green, errors are red, etc
+  ([#207](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/207)).
+
+## v2.8.1 - 2020-05-20
+
+- Fix error code for the `--help` flag
+  ([#300](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/300), [#330](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/330)).
+- Print version to stdout instead of stderr
+  ([#299](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/299), [#329](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/329)).
+- Supress `context` errors when using the `--watch` flag
+  ([#313](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/313), [#317](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/317)).
+- Support templating on description
+  ([#276](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/276), [#283](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/283)).
+
+## v2.8.0 - 2019-12-07
+
+- Add `--parallel` flag (alias `-p`) to run tasks given by the command line in
+  parallel
+  ([#266](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/266)).
+- Fixed bug where calling the `task` CLI only informing global vars would not
+  execute the `default` task.
+- Add hability to silent all tasks by adding `silent: true` a the root of the
+  Taskfile.
+
+## v2.7.1 - 2019-11-10
+
+- Fix error being raised when `exit 0` was called
+  ([#251](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/251)).
+
+## v2.7.0 - 2019-09-22
+
+- Fixed panic bug when assigning a global variable
+  ([#229](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/229), [#243](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/234)).
+- A task with `method: checksum` will now re-run if generated files are deleted
+  ([#228](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/228), [#238](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/238)).
+
+## v2.6.0 - 2019-07-21
+
+- Fixed some bugs regarding minor version checks on `version:`.
+- Add `preconditions:` to task
+  ([#205](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/205)).
+- Create directory informed on `dir:` if it doesn't exist
+  ([#209](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/209), [#211](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/211)).
+- We now have a `--taskfile` flag (alias `-t`), which can be used to run
+  another Taskfile (other than the default `Taskfile.yml`)
+  ([#221](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/221)).
+- It's now possible to install Task using Homebrew on Linux
+  ([go-task/homebrew-tap#1](https://github.com/go-task/homebrew-tap/pull/1)).
+
+## v2.5.2 - 2019-05-11
+
+- Reverted YAML upgrade due issues with CRLF on Windows
+  ([#201](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/201), [go-yaml/yaml#450](https://github.com/go-yaml/yaml/issues/450)).
+- Allow setting global variables through the CLI
+  ([#192](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/192)).
+
+## 2.5.1 - 2019-04-27
+
+- Fixed some issues with interactive command line tools, where sometimes
+  the output were not being shown, and similar issues
+  ([#114](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/114), [#190](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/190), [#200](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/200)).
+- Upgraded [go-yaml/yaml](https://github.com/go-yaml/yaml) from v2 to v3.
+
+## v2.5.0 - 2019-03-16
+
+- We moved from the taskfile.org domain to the new fancy taskfile.dev domain.
+  While stuff is being redirected, we strongly recommend to everyone that use
+  [this install script](https://taskfile.dev/#/installation?id=install-script)
+  to use the new taskfile.dev domain on scripts from now on.
+- Fixed to the ZSH completion
+  ([#182](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/182)).
+- Add [`--summary` flag along with `summary:` task attribute](https://taskfile.org/#/usage?id=display-summary-of-task)

+
+## v2.4.0 - 2019-02-21
+
+- Allow calling a task of the root Taskfile from an included Taskfile
+  by prefixing it with `:`
+  ([#161](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/161), [#172](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/172)),
+- Add flag to override the `output` option
+  ([#173](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/173));
+- Fix bug where Task was persisting the new checksum on the disk when the Dry
+  Mode is enabled
+  ([#166](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/166));
+- Fix file timestamp issue when the file name has spaces
+  ([#176](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/176));
+- Mitigating path expanding issues on Windows
+  ([#170](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/170)).
+
+## v2.3.0 - 2019-01-02
+
+- On Windows, Task can now be installed using [Scoop](https://scoop.sh/)
+  ([#152](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/152));
+- Fixed issue with file/directory globing
+  ([#153](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/153));
+- Added ability to globally set environment variables
+  (
+    [#138](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/138),

+# Installation
+
+Task offers many installation methods. Check out the available methods below.
+
+## Package Managers
+
+### Homebrew
+
+If you're on macOS or Linux and have [Homebrew][homebrew] installed, getting
+Task is as simple as running:
+
+```bash
+brew install go-task/tap/go-task
+```
+
+### Snap
+
+Task is available in [Snapcraft][snapcraft], but keep in mind that your
+Linux distribution should allow classic confinement for Snaps to Task work
+right:
+
+```bash
+sudo snap install task --classic
+```
+
+### Chocolatey
+
+If you're on Windows and have [Chocolatey][choco] installed, getting
+Task is as simple as running:
+
+```bash
+choco install go-task
+```
+
+This installation method is community owned.
+
+
+### Scoop
+
+If you're on Windows and have [Scoop][scoop] installed, getting
+Task is as simple as running:
+
+```cmd
+scoop install task
+```
+
+This installation method is community owned. After a new release of Task, it
+may take some time until it's available on Scoop.
+
+### AUR
+
+If you're on Arch Linux you can install Task from
+[AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/go-task-bin) using your favorite
+package manager such as `yay`, `pacaur` or `yaourt`:
+
+```cmd
+yay -S go-task-bin
+```
+
+Alternatively, there's
+[this package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/go-task) which installs from
+the source code instead of downloading the binary from the
+[releases page](https://github.com/go-task/task/releases):
+
+```cmd
+yay -S go-task
+```
+
+This installation method is community owned.
+
+### Fedora
+
+If you're on Fedora Linux you can install Task from the official
+[Fedora](https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/golang-github-task/go-task/) repository using `dnf`:
+
+```cmd
+sudo dnf install go-task
+```
+
+This installation method is community owned. After a new release of Task, it
+may take some time until it's available in [Fedora](https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/golang-github-task/go-task/).
+
+### Nix
+
+If you're on NixOS or have Nix installed
+you can install Task from [nixpkgs](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs):
+
+```cmd
+nix-env -iA nixpkgs.go-task
+```
+
+This installation method is community owned. After a new release of Task, it
+may take some time until it's available in [nixpkgs](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs).
+
+### npm
+
+You can also use Node and npm to install Task by installing
+[this package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@go-task/cli).
+
+```bash
+npm install -g @go-task/cli
+```
+
+## Get The Binary
+
+### Binary
+
+You can download the binary from the [releases page on GitHub][releases] and
+add to your `$PATH`.
+
+DEB and RPM packages are also available.
+
+The `task_checksums.txt` file contains the SHA-256 checksum for each file.
+
+### Install Script
+
+We also have an [install script][installscript] which is very useful in
+scenarios like CI. Many thanks to [GoDownloader][godownloader] for enabling the
+easy generation of this script.
+
+By default, it installs on the `./bin` directory relative to the working
+directory:
+
+```bash
+sh -c "$(curl --location https://taskfile.dev/install.sh)" -- -d
+```
+
+It is possible to override the installation directory with the `-b` parameter.
+On Linux, common choices are `~/.local/bin` and `~/bin` to install for the
+current user or `/usr/local/bin` to install for all users:
+
+```bash
+sh -c "$(curl --location https://taskfile.dev/install.sh)" -- -d -b ~/.local/bin
+```
+
+:::caution
+
+On macOS and Windows, `~/.local/bin` and `~/bin` are not added to `$PATH` by
+default.
+
+:::
+
+### GitHub Actions
+
+If you want to install Task in GitHub Actions you can try using
+[this action](https://github.com/arduino/setup-task)
+by the Arduino team:
+
+```yaml
+- name: Install Task
+  uses: arduino/setup-task@v1
+```
+
+This installation method is community owned.
+
+## Build From Source
+
+### Go Modules
+
+First, make sure you have [Go][go] properly installed and setup.
+
+You can easily install the latest release globally by running:
+
+```bash
+go install github.com/go-task/task/v3/cmd/task@latest
+```
+
+Or you can install into another directory:
+
+```bash
+env GOBIN=/bin go install github.com/go-task/task/v3/cmd/task@latest
+```
+
+If using Go 1.15 or earlier, instead use:
+
+```bash
+env GO111MODULE=on go get -u github.com/go-task/task/v3/cmd/task@latest
+```
+
+:::tip
+
+For CI environments we recommend using the [install script](#get-the-binary)
+instead, which is faster and more stable, since it'll just download the latest
+released binary.

+# Releasing
+
+The release process of Task is done with the help of
+[GoReleaser][goreleaser]. You can test the release process locally by calling
+the `test-release` task of the Taskfile.
+
+[GitHub Actions](https://github.com/go-task/task/actions) should release
+artifacts automatically when a new Git tag is pushed to master
+(raw executables and DEB and RPM packages).
+
+Since v3.15.0, raw executables can also be reproduced and verified locally by
+checking out a specific tag and calling `goreleaser build`, using the Go version
+defined in the above GitHub Actions.
+
+# Homebrew
+
+Goreleaser will automatically push a new commit to the
+[Formula/go-task.rb][gotaskrb] file in the [Homebrew tap][homebrewtap]
+repository to release the new version.

+version:
+
+* Updating the current version on [snapcraft.yaml][snapcraftyaml].
+* Moving both `amd64`, `armhf` and `arm64` new artifacts to the stable channel on
+the [Snapcraft dashboard][snapcraftdashboard].

+`MY_VAR: '{{.MY_VAR | default "my-default-value"}}'`.
+
+:::
+
+## Internal tasks
+
+Internal tasks are tasks that cannot be called directly by the user. They will
+not appear in the output when running `task --list|--list-all`. Other tasks may
+call internal tasks in the usual way. This is useful for creating reusable,
+function-like tasks that have no useful purpose on the command line.

-# Installation
-
-Task offers many installation methods. Check out the available methods below.
-
-## Package Managers
-
-<!-- tabs:start -->
-
-#### **Homebrew**
-
-If you're on macOS or Linux and have [Homebrew][homebrew] installed, getting
-Task is as simple as running:
-
-```bash
-brew install go-task/tap/go-task
-```
-
-#### **Snap**
-
-Task is available in [Snapcraft][snapcraft], but keep in mind that your
-Linux distribution should allow classic confinement for Snaps to Task work
-right:
-
-```bash
-sudo snap install task --classic
-```
-
-#### **Scoop**
-
-If you're on Windows and have [Scoop][scoop] installed, use `extras` bucket
-to install Task like:
-
-```cmd
-scoop bucket add extras
-scoop install task
-```
-
-This installation method is community owned. After a new release of Task, it
-may take some time until it's available on Scoop.
-
-#### **AUR**
-
-If you're on Arch Linux you can install Task from
-[AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/taskfile-git) using your favorite
-package manager such as `yay`, `pacaur` or `yaourt`:
-
-```cmd
-yay -S taskfile-git
-```
-
-This installation method is community owned, but since it's `-git` version of
-the package, it's always latest available version based on the Git repository.
-
-<!-- tabs:end -->
-
-## Get The Binary
-
-<!-- tabs:start -->
-
-#### **Binary**
-
-You can download the binary from the [releases page on GitHub][releases] and
-add to your `$PATH`.
-
-DEB and RPM packages are also available.
-
-The `task_checksums.txt` file contains the SHA-256 checksum for each file.
-
-#### **Install Script**
-
-We also have an [install script][installscript] which is very useful in
-scenarios like CI. Many thanks to [GoDownloader][godownloader] for enabling the
-easy generation of this script.
-
-```bash
-# For Default Installation to ./bin with debug logging
-sh -c "$(curl --location https://taskfile.dev/install.sh)" -- -d
-
-# For Installation To /usr/local/bin for userwide access with debug logging
-# May require sudo sh
-sh -c "$(curl --location https://taskfile.dev/install.sh)" -- -d -b /usr/local/bin
-
-```
-
-> This method will download the binary on the local `./bin` directory by default.
-
-#### **GitHub Actions**
-
-If you want to install Task in GitHub Actions you can try using
-[this action](https://github.com/arduino/setup-task)
-by the Arduino team:
-
-```yaml
-- name: Install Task
-  uses: arduino/setup-task@v1
-```
-
-This installation method is community owned.
-
-<!-- tabs:end -->
-
-## Build From Source
-
-<!-- tabs:start -->
-
-#### **Go Modules**
-
-First, make sure you have [Go][go] properly installed and setup.
-
-You can easily install the latest release globally by running:
-
-```bash
-go install github.com/go-task/task/v3/cmd/task@latest
-```
-
-Or you can install into another directory:
-
-```bash
-env GOBIN=/bin go install github.com/go-task/task/v3/cmd/task@latest
-```
-
-If using Go 1.15 or earlier, instead use:
-
-```bash
-env GO111MODULE=on go get -u github.com/go-task/task/v3/cmd/task@latest
-```
-
-> For CI environments we recommend using the [Install Script](#get-the-binary)
-> instead, which is faster and more stable, since it'll just download the latest
-> released binary.

-# Releasing Task
-
-The release process of Task is done with the help of
-[GoReleaser][goreleaser]. You can test the release process locally by calling
-the `test-release` task of the Taskfile.
-
-[GitHub Actions](https://github.com/go-task/task/actions) should release
-artifacts automatically when a new Git tag is pushed to master
-(raw executables and DEB and RPM packages).
-
-# Homebrew
-
-To release a new version on the [Homebrew tap][homebrewtap] edit the
-[Formula/go-task.rb][gotaskrb] file, updating with the new version, download
-URL and sha256.
-
-# Snapcraft
-
-The exception is the publishing of a new version of the
-[snap package][snappackage]. This current require two steps after publishing
-the binaries:
-
-* Updating the current version on [snapcraft.yaml][snapcraftyaml];
-* Moving both `i386` and `amd64` new artifacts to the stable channel on
-the [Snapcraft dashboard][snapcraftdashboard]
-
-# Scoop
-
-Scoop is a community owned installation method. Scoop owners usually take care
-of updating versions there by editing
-[this file](https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop-extras/blob/master/bucket/task.json).
-If you think its Task version is outdated, open an issue to let us know.
