2.6.2 - Gotta catch 'em all!

Since Taskwarrior strives to be the very best, we are proud to announce the availability of the 2.6.2 bugfix release. Sometimes being best also means best at releasing versions with problems that need to be fixed 🙂 and (hopefully, eventually) catching them all.

This bugfix-only release improves the upgrade path to 2.6.x, prevents corruption of the depends attribute when syncing, provides better support for detecting invalid write contexts and fixes a handful of small regressions introduced in our recent 2.6.0 release. The full changelog is once again available in our traditional plaintext form.

We are grateful to our users who have tested the 2.6.0/2.6.1 releases and provided feedback or contributions:
@tbabej @skreuzer @jwilk @djmitche @sinisterstuf @pflakus @jpalus @sdondley @mowgli @bradyt @jaker-dotcom @yulqen @QuinnStevens @kostahj @thehunmonkgroup @linuxcaffe @angelus2014 and others.

Thanks for making Taskwarrior better for all!
