 # Changelog
 
+## 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).
+- Fixed task names containing certain characters (e.g. `\`, `_`, `^`) leaking
+  into checksum/timestamp filenames, breaking `sources:`/`generates:` up-to-date
+  detection (#2886 by @s3onghyun).
+- Fixed `for: matrix:` loops using `ref:` rows producing wrong values when the
+  same task was run concurrently (e.g. by parallel `deps`) with different vars
+  (#2890, #2894 by @amitmishra11).
+- Added a `secret: true` flag for variables that masks their value in logs,
+  `task --summary`, and command output (#2514 by @vmaerten).
+- Added the `use_gitignore` setting (global or per-task) to skip files matched
+  by your `.gitignore` when fingerprinting `sources`/`generates` and when
+  watching (#2773 by @vmaerten).
+- Added support for configuring output flags (`--output`,
+  `--output-group-begin`, `--output-group-end`, `--output-group-error-only`) via
+  the `TASK_OUTPUT*` environment variables (#2873 by @liiight).
+- Added a `--temp-dir` flag (with `TASK_TEMP_DIR` env var and `temp-dir` taskrc
+  config) to customise the directory where Task stores temporary files such as
+  checksums. Relative paths are resolved against the root Taskfile (#2891 by
+  @kjasn).
+- Defined environment variable behavior for remote taskfiles (#2267, #2847 by
+  @vmaerten).
+
+## v3.51.1 - 2026-05-16
+
+- A significant performance boost was achieved for large Taskfiles (monorepos)
+  by skipping templating altogether when the string is static (#2820 by @romnn).
+- Added `absPath` template function that resolves a path to its absolute form,
+  cleaning `..` and `.` components (#2681, #2788 by @mateenanjum).
+- Added `joinEnv` function to join paths based on your oprating system: `;` for
+  Windows and `:` elsewhere, and `joinUrl` to join URL paths. Also, added two
+  new special variables: `FILE_PATH_SEPARATOR` which returns `\` on Windows and
+  `/` elsewhere, and `PATH_LIST_SEPARATOR` which returns `;` on Windows and `:`
+  elsewhere (#2406, #2408 by @solvingj).
+- Update the shell interpreter with a regression fix (#2812, #2832 by
+  @andreynering).
+- Fix potential panic with the shell interpreter (#2810 by @trulede).

+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You

+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or

+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices

+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
