 ## 0.13.3-dev
  - document GooseConfiguration fields that were only documented as gumpdrop parameters (in order to generate new lines in the help output) so now they're also documented in the code
+ - fix panic when `--no-task-metrics` is enabled and metrics are printed; add tests to prevent further regressions
 
 ## 0.13.2 August 19, 2021
  - fix broken links within the documentation; general documentation cleanups
