 ## Bug Fixes
 
-* Fix missing dependency in last release.
-* The `FakeClient.set_dispatches()` method now correctly updates `FakeService._last_id` which is used to generate unique dispatch IDs.
-* Fix that streams were globally shared between all clients.
-
+* Fix that duration=0 was sent & received as None.
