# Changelog
+## 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),
