    • Disallow expansions on v3 since it has no effect.
    • Taskvars.yml is not automatically included anymore.
    • Taskfile_{{OS}}.yml is not automatically included anymore.
    • 👍 Allow interpolation on includes, so you can manually include a Taskfile based on operation system, for example.
    • 🔦 Expose .TASK variable in templates with the task name (#252).

    • 🆕 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).
