 # Changelog
 
+## 3.7.3 - 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)).

+### Limiting when tasks run
+
+If a task executed by multiple `cmds` or multiple `deps` you can control
+when it is executed using `run`. `run` can also be set at the root
+of the Taskfile to change the behavior of all the tasks unless explicitly
+overridden.
+
+Supported values for `run`:
+
+ * `always` (default) always attempt to invoke the task regardless of the
+  number of previous executions
+ * `once` only invoke this task once regardless of the number of references
+ * `when_changed` only invokes the task once for each unique set of variables
+  passed into the task
