 - HorneExtract now accepts 'None' as a vaild option for ``bkgrd_prof``. [#171]
 
+- Fix for fully masked bins in FitTrace when using ``gaussian`` for ``peak_method``.
+  Fully masked columns now have a peak of nan, which is used for the all-bin fit
+  for the Trace. Warning messages for ``peak_method`` == ``max`` and ``centroid``
+  are also now reflective of what the bin peak is being set to. [#205]
