+## [0.14.7]
+### Changed
+* Minor change to traceback handling in async simulations
+### Fixed
+* Incomplete example in the docs (example.yml) caused an exception
 ## [0.14.6]
 ### Fixed
 * Bug with newer versions of networkx (0.24) where the Graph.node attribute has been removed. We have updated our calls, but the code in nxsim is not under our control, so we have pinned the networkx version until that issue is solved.

 Simulation configuration files can be formatted in ``json`` or ``yaml`` and they define all the parameters of a simulation.
 Here's an example (``example.yml``).
