 # Changelog
 
+## v3.0.0 - Preview 1
+
+- 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)).
+
+## Unreleased
+
+- Fixed panic bug when assigning a global variable
+  ([#229](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/229), [#243](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/234)).
+
+## v2.6.0 - 2019-07-21
+
+- Fixed some bugs regarding minor version checks on `version:`.
+- Add `preconditions:` to task
+  ([#205](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/205)).
+- Create directory informed on `dir:` if it doesn't exist
+  ([#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)).
+
+## v2.5.2 - 2019-05-11
+
+- Reverted YAML upgrade due issues with CRLF on Windows
+  ([#201](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/201), [go-yaml/yaml#450](https://github.com/go-yaml/yaml/issues/450)).
+- Allow setting global variables through the CLI
+  ([#192](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/192)).
+
+## 2.5.1 - 2019-04-27
+
+- Fixed some issues with interactive command line tools, where sometimes
+  the output were not being shown, and similar issues
+  ([#114](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/114), [#190](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/190), [#200](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/200)).
+- 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.
+- Fixed to the ZSH completion
+  ([#182](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/182)).
+- Add [`--summary` flag along with `summary:` task attribute](https://taskfile.org/#/usage?id=display-summary-of-task)
+  ([#180](https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/180)).
+
 ## v2.4.0 - 2019-02-21
 
 - Allow calling a task of the root Taskfile from an included Taskfile

 Also, `task --status [tasks]...` will exit with a non-zero exit code if any of
 the tasks are not up-to-date.
 
+If you need a certain set of conditions to be _true_ you can use the
+`preconditions` stanza.  `preconditions` are very similar to `status`
+lines except they support `sh` expansion and they SHOULD all return 0.
+
+```yaml
+version: '2'

+      - mkdir directory
+      - touch directory/file1.txt

+      - sh: "[ 1 = 0 ]"
+        msg: "One doesn't equal Zero, Halting"
+```
+
+Preconditions can set specific failure messages that can tell
+a user what steps to take using the `msg` field.
+
+If a task has a dependency on a sub-task with a precondition, and that
+precondition is not met - the calling task will fail.  Note that a task
+executed with a failing precondition will not run unless `--force` is
+given.
+
+Unlike `status` which will skip a task if it is up to date, and continue
+executing tasks that depend on it, a `precondition` will fail a task, along
+with any other tasks that depend on it.
+
+```yaml
