 ## Unreleased
 
+- Fixed --interactive prompts for required vars sometimes appearing in a random
+  order. Prompts now follow the order the vars are declared in the Taskfile.
+  (#2871 by @caproven)
 - Fixed Fish completions not being picked up correctly by installing them to
   Fish's `vendor_completions.d` directory instead of `completions` (#2850, #2859
   by @Legimity).
 - PowerShell completions now work with aliases of the `task` command, not just
   the `task` binary itself (#2852 by @kojiishi).
-- Fixed task and namespace aliases not being completed by the Zsh completion.
-  A `show-aliases` zstyle can turn this off (#2865, #2864 by @vmaerten).

 ## 1. Setup
 
+The easiest way to install everything you need to work on Task is
+[mise][mise]. From the repository root, run:
+
+```shell
+mise install
+```
+
+This installs the pinned versions of Go, Node.js, pnpm and the dev tools
+(`golangci-lint`, `mockery`, `gotestsum`, `goreleaser` and `gorelease`)
+declared in the `mise.toml` file.

+If you'd rather install things manually, you'll need:
+
 - **Go** - Task is written in [Go][go]. We always support the latest two major
   Go versions, so make sure your version is recent enough.
 - **Node.js** - [Node.js][nodejs] is used to host Task's documentation server
