+### Features
+
+- Added support for Python 3.13.
+- Enhanced working with advanced reasoning models.
+  - Added support for the NVIDIA Nemotron family of advanced reasoning models, such as Llama 3.1 Nemotron Ultra 253B V1.
+  - Added the `rails.output.apply_to_reasoning_traces` field.
+    When this field is `True`, output rails are applied to the reasoning traces and the model output.
+    For more information, refer to [](./user-guides/configuration-guide.md#using-llms-with-reasoning-traces).
+  - The `reasoning_config.remove_thinking_traces` field is deprecated and replaced by the `reasoning_config.remove_reasoning_traces` field that has the same purpose and subfields.
+  - Using advanced reasoning models with dialog rails is not supported.
+- Simplified and broadened support for chat model providers from LangChain and
+  LangChain Community chat model providers.
+  You must use `langchain` version `0.2.14` or higher and `langchain-community` version `0.2.5` or higher.
+  For information about using model providers, refer to [](./user-guides/configuration-guide.md#the-llm-model).
+- Added support for code injection detection.
+  For more information, refer to [](./user-guides/guardrails-library.md#injection-detection).
+- Enhanced the `nemoguardrails` CLI with a `find-providers` argument to list chat and text completion providers.
+  For more information, refer to [](./user-guides/cli.md#providers).
+

+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+- Removed support for the NeMo LLM Service, `nemollm`.
+  This provider reached end-of-life on February 5, 2025.
+- The `HuggingFacePipelineCompatible` provider is refactored.
+  Previously, the class was available from the `nemoguardrails.llm.providers` package.
+  In this release, the class is moved to the `nemoguardrails.llm.providers.huggingface` package.
+
+(0-14-0-fixed-issues)=
+
+### Fixed Issues
+
+- Fixed an issue when tracing is enabled.
+  Previously, the response was replaced when tracing is enabled and could cause a crash or exception.
+  In this release, the response is not modified when tracing is enabled.
+  For more information, refer to <pr:1103>.
+
+- Fixed an issue with the self check output flow.
+  Previously, the `stop` instruction was not executed when `enable_rails_exceptions` was enabled.
+  In this release, the `stop` instruction correctly regardless of the `enable_rails_execptions` value.
+  For more information, refer to <pr:1126>.
+
+- Previously, the model specification in the guardrails configuration file, `config.yml`, did not validate the model name.
+  In this release you must specify the model name in the `model` top-level field or as `model` or `model_name` in
+  the parameters field.
+  For more information, refer to <pr:1084>.
