v3.3.0 - 2021-03-20

• Add support for delegating CLI arguments to commands with -- and a special CLI_ARGS variable (#327).
• Add a --concurrency (alias -C) flag, to limit the number of tasks that run concurrently. This is useful for heavy workloads. (#345).

v3.2.2 - 2021-01-12

• Improve performance of --list and --summary by skipping running shell variables for these flags (#332).
• Fixed a bug where an environment in a Taskfile was not always overridable by the system environment (#425).

• The slim-sprig package was updated with the upstream sprig.

v3.2.0 - 2021-01-07

• Fix the .task directory being created in the task directory instead of the Taskfile directory (#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).

• Task now respects the order of declaration of included Taskfiles when evaluating variables declaring by them (#393).

• Changed default method from timestamp to checksum (#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).
• We're now using slim-sprig instead of sprig, which allowed a file size reduction of about 22% (#219).
• We now use some colors on Task output to better distinguish message types - commands are green, errors are red, etc (#207).
