# Changelog

## Unreleased

- Small bug fix: closing "Taskfile.yml" once we're done reading it
  ([#963](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/963), [#964](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/964) by @HeCorr).
- Fixed a bug where watch intervals set in the Taskfile were not being respected ([#969](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/969), [#970](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/970) by @pd93)
- Add `--json` flag (alias `-j`) with the intent to improve support for code
  editors and add room to other possible integrations. This is basic for now,
  but we plan to add more info in the near future
  ([#936](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/936) by @davidalpert, [#764](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/764)).

## v3.19.0 - 2022-12-05

  ([go-task/go-npm#2](https://github.com/go-task/go-npm/issues/2), [go-task/go-npm#3](https://github.com/go-task/go-npm/pull/3)).
- It's now possible to run Taskfiles from subdirectories! A new `USER_WORKING_DIR` special
  variable was added to add even more flexibility for monorepos
  ([#289](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/289), [#920](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/920)).
- Add task-level `dotenv` support
  ([#389](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/389), [#904](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/904)).
- It's now possible to use global level variables on `includes`
  ([#942](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/942), [#943](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/943)).
- The website got a brand new [translation to Chinese](https://task-zh.readthedocs.io/zh_CN/latest/)
  by [@DeronW](https://github.com/DeronW). Thanks!

## v3.18.0 - 2022-11-12

  just the namespace. For example: `docs:default` is now automatically
  aliased to `docs`
  ([#661](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/661), [#815](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/815)).

## v3.17.0 - 2022-10-14

  with a similar name is found
  ([#867](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/867), [#880](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/880)).

  `interval: '500ms'` or using the `--interval=500ms` flag
  ([#813](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/813), [#865](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/865)).

  name on `--list`
  ([#603](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/603), [#877](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/877)).

- 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

  `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

  ([#776](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/776), [#777](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/777)).

  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`

## v3.12.0 - 2022-03-31

  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.

## 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)).

- 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)).

  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)).

  Taskfile directory
  ([#247](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/247)).

  should be more stable now
  ([#423](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/423), [#365](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/365)).

  with a custom `label:` attribute
  ([#412](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/412)).

- 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

  ([#403](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/403)).

## v3.0.1 - 2020-12-26

  ([#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

- 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)).

  ([#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)).

- 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.
