 Changelog
 =========
 
+- :bug:`944` After the release of 2.1, package-style task modules started
+  looking in the wrong place for project-level config files (inside one's eg
+  ``tasks/`` dir, instead of *next to* that dir) due to a subtlety in the new
+  import/discovery mechanism used. This has been fixed. Thanks to Arnaud V. and
+  Hunter Kelly for the reports and to Jesse P. Johnson for initial
+  debugging/diagnosis.
 - :release:`2.1.2 <2023-05-15>`
 - :support:`936 backported` Make sure ``py.typed`` is in our packaging
   manifest; without it, users working from a regular installation
