+## [0.7.1] - 2017-07-24
+### Fixed
+- Clearing a Graph selection box sets the `selectedData` value to `None` (`null` in JavaScript). Before, it didn't change the `selectedData` property, preventing the user and the Dash developer from clearing selections. Fixes https://github.com/plotly/dash/issues/97, thanks to @pmbaumgartner for reporting.

 ## [0.7.0] - 2017-07-20
 ### Added
 - The `clearable` property to the `Dropdown`, which toggles on and off the "x" on the side of the dropdown that clears the current selection.
