Unreleased

Features

#10393 Add HasSupply method to bank keeper to ensure that input denom actually exists on chain.

(x/gov) #8473 On genesis init, if the gov module account balance, coming from bank module state, does not match the one in gov module state, the initialization will panic.
(x/distribution) #8473 On genesis init, if the distribution module account balance, coming from bank module state, does not match the one in distribution module state, the initialization will panic.
(client/keys) #8500 InfoImporter interface is removed from legacy keybase.
(x/staking) #8505 sdk.PowerReduction has been renamed to sdk.DefaultPowerReduction, and most staking functions relying on power reduction take a new function argument, instead of relying on that global variable.

- Validator updated according to the ValidatorI changes described above.
- ToTmValidator function: added error to return values.
- Validator.ConsensusPubkey type changed from string to codectypes.Any.
- MsgCreateValidator.Pubkey type changed from string to codectypes.Any.

- The sdk.ServiceMsg struct has been removed.
- sdk.Msg now only contains ValidateBasic and GetSigners methods. The remaining methods GetSignBytes, Route and Type are moved to legacytx.LegacyMsg.
- The RegisterCustomTypeURL function and the cosmos.base.v1beta1.ServiceMsg interface have been removed from the interface registry.
(codec) #9251 Rename clientCtx.JSONMarshaler to clientCtx.JSONCodec as per #9226.
(x/bank) #9271 SendEnabledCoin(s) renamed to IsSendEnabledCoin(s) to better reflect its functionality.

#9401 Fixes incorrect export of IBC identifier sequences. Previously, the next identifier sequence for clients/connections/channels was not set during genesis export. This resulted in the next identifiers being generated on the new chain to reuse old identifiers (the sequences began again from 0).
#9408 Update simapp to use correct default broadcast mode.
#9513 Fixes testnet CLI command. Testnet now updates the supply in genesis. Previously, when using add-genesis-account and testnet together, inconsistent genesis files would be produced, as only add-genesis-account was updating the supply.
(x/gov) #8813 fix GET /cosmos/gov/v1beta1/proposals/{proposal_id}/deposits to include initial deposit

v0.40.0 - 2021-01-08

v0.40.0, known as the Stargate release of the Cosmos SDK, is one of the largest releases of the Cosmos SDK since launch. Please read through this changelog and release notes to make sure you are aware of any relevant breaking changes.

Client Breaking Changes

CLI
- (client/keys) #5889 remove keys update command.
- (x/auth) #5844 tx sign command now returns an error when signing is attempted with offline/multisig keys.
- (x/auth) #6108 tx sign command's --validate-signatures flag is migrated into a tx validate-signatures standalone command.
- (x/auth) #7788 Remove tx auth subcommands, all auth subcommands exist as tx <subcommand>
- (x/genutil) #6651 The gentx command has been improved. No longer are --from and --name flags required. Instead, a single argument, name, is required which refers to the key pair in the Keyring. In addition, an optional --moniker flag can be provided to override the moniker found in config.toml.
- (x/upgrade) #7697 Rename flag name "--time" to "--upgrade-time", "--info" to "--upgrade-info", to keep it consistent with help message.
REST / Queriers
- (api) #6426 The ability to start an out-of-process API REST server has now been removed. Instead, the API server is now started in-process along with the application and Tendermint. Configuration options have been added to app.toml to enable/disable the API server along with additional HTTP server options.
- (client) #7246 The rest server endpoint /swagger-ui/ is replaced by /swagger/, and contains swagger documentation for gRPC Gateway routes in addition to legacy REST routes. Swagger API is exposed only if set in app.toml.
- (x/auth) #5702 The x/auth querier route has changed from "acc" to "auth".
- (x/bank) #5572 The /bank/balances/{address} endpoint now returns all account balances or a single balance by denom when the denom query parameter is present.
- (x/evidence) #5952 Remove CLI and REST handlers for querying x/evidence parameters.
- (x/gov) #6295 Fix typo in querying governance params.
General
- (baseapp) #6384 The Result.Data is now a Protocol Buffer encoded binary blob of type TxData. The TxData contains Data which contains a list of Protocol Buffer encoded message data and the corresponding message type.
- (client) #5783 Unify all coins representations on JSON client requests for governance proposals.
- (crypto) #7419 The SDK doesn't use Tendermint's crypto.PubKey interface anymore, and uses instead it's own PubKey interface, defined in crypto/types. Replace all instances of crypto.PubKey by cryptotypes.Pubkey.
- (store/rootmulti) #6390 Proofs of empty stores are no longer supported.
- (store/types) #5730 store.types.Cp() is removed in favour of types.CopyBytes().
- (x/auth) #6054 Remove custom JSON marshaling for base accounts as multsigs cannot be bech32 decoded.
- (x/auth/vesting) #6859 Custom JSON marshaling of vesting accounts was removed. Vesting accounts are now marshaled using their default proto or amino JSON representation.
- (x/bank) #5785 In x/bank errors, JSON strings coerced to valid UTF-8 bytes at JSON marshalling time are now replaced by human-readable expressions. This change can potentially break compatibility with all those client side tools that parse log messages.
- (x/evidence) #7538 The ABCI's Result.Data field for MsgSubmitEvidence responses does not contain the raw evidence's hash, but the protobuf encoded MsgSubmitEvidenceResponse struct.
- (x/gov) #7533 The ABCI's Result.Data field for MsgSubmitProposal responses does not contain a raw binary encoding of the proposalID, but the protobuf encoded MsgSubmitSubmitProposalResponse struct.
- (x/gov) #6859 ProposalStatus and VoteOption are now JSON serialized using its protobuf name, so expect names like PROPOSAL_STATUS_DEPOSIT_PERIOD as opposed to DepositPeriod.
- (x/staking) #7499 BondStatus is now a protobuf enum instead of an int32, and JSON serialized using its protobuf name, so expect names like BOND_STATUS_UNBONDING as opposed to Unbonding.
- (x/staking) #7556 The ABCI's Result.Data field for MsgBeginRedelegate and MsgUndelegate responses does not contain custom binary marshaled completionTime, but the protobuf encoded MsgBeginRedelegateResponse and MsgUndelegateResponse structs respectively

API Breaking Changes

Baseapp / Client
- (AppModule) #7518 #7584 Rename AppModule.RegisterQueryServices to AppModule.RegisterServices, as this method now registers multiple services (the gRPC query service and the protobuf Msg service). A Configurator struct is used to hold the different services.
- (baseapp) #5865 The SimulationResponse returned from tx simulation is now JSON encoded instead of Amino binary.
- (client) #6290 CLIContext is renamed to Context. Context and all related methods have been moved from package context to client.
- (client) #6525 Removed support for indent in JSON responses. Clients should consider piping to an external tool such as jq.
- (client) #8107 Renamed PrintOutput and PrintOutputLegacy methods of the context.Client object to PrintProto and PrintObjectLegacy.
- (client/flags) #6632 Remove NewCompletionCmd(), the function is now available in tendermint.
- (client/input) #5904 Removal of unnecessary GetCheckPassword, PrintPrefixed functions.
- (client/keys) #5889 Rename NewKeyBaseFromDir() -> NewLegacyKeyBaseFromDir().

- (client/lcd) #6290 CliCtx of struct RestServer in package client/lcd has been renamed to ClientCtx.
- (codec) #6330 codec.RegisterCrypto has been moved to the crypto/codec package and the global codec.Cdc Amino instance has been deprecated and moved to the codec/legacy_global package.
- (codec) #8080 Updated the codec.Marshaler interface
  - Moved MarshalAny and UnmarshalAny helper functions to codec.Marshaler and renamed to MarshalInterface and UnmarshalInterface respectively. These functions must take interface as a parameter (not a concrete type nor Any object). Underneath they use Any wrapping for correct protobuf serialization.
- (crypto) #6780 Move ledger code to its own package.
- (crypto/types/multisig) #6373 multisig.Multisignature has been renamed to AminoMultisignature
- (codec) *codec.LegacyAmino is now a wrapper around Amino which provides backwards compatibility with protobuf Any. ALL legacy code should use *codec.LegacyAmino instead of *amino.Codec directly
- (crypto) #5880 Merge crypto/keys/mintkey into crypto.
- (crypto/hd) #5904 crypto/keys/hd moved to crypto/hd.
- (crypto/keyring):
  - #5866 Rename crypto/keys/ to crypto/keyring/.
  - #5904 Keybase -> Keyring interfaces migration. LegacyKeybase interface is added in order to guarantee limited backward compatibility with the old Keybase interface for the sole purpose of migrating keys across the new keyring backends. NewLegacy constructor is provided #5889 to allow for smooth migration of keys from the legacy LevelDB based implementation to new keyring backends. Plus, the package and the new keyring no longer depends on the sdk.Config singleton. Please consult the package documentation for more information on how to implement the new Keyring interface.
  - #5858 Make Keyring store keys by name and address's hexbytes representation.
- (export) #5952 AppExporter now returns ABCI consensus parameters to be included in marshaled exported state. These parameters must be returned from the application via the BaseApp.
- (simapp) Deprecating and renaming MakeEncodingConfig to MakeTestEncodingConfig (both in simapp and simapp/params packages).
- (store) #5803 The store.CommitMultiStore interface now includes the new snapshots.Snapshotter interface as well.
- (types) #5579 The keepRecent field has been removed from the PruningOptions type. The PruningOptions type now only includes fields KeepEvery and SnapshotEvery, where KeepEvery determines which committed heights are flushed to disk and SnapshotEvery determines which of these heights are kept after pruning. The IsValid method should be called whenever using these options. Methods SnapshotVersion and FlushVersion accept a version arugment and determine if the version should be flushed to disk or kept as a snapshot. Note, KeepRecent is automatically inferred from the options and provided directly the IAVL store.
- (types) #5533 Refactored AppModuleBasic and AppModuleGenesis to now accept a codec.JSONMarshaler for modular serialization of genesis state.
- (types/rest) #5779 Drop unused Parse{Int64OrReturnBadRequest,QueryParamBool}() functions.

- (x/auth/tx) #8106 change related to missing append functionality in client transaction signing
  - added overwriteSig argument to x/auth/client.SignTx and client/tx.Sign functions.
  - removed x/auth/tx.go:wrapper.GetSignatures. The wrapper provides TxBuilder functionality, and it's a private structure. That function was not used at all and it's not exposed through the TxBuilder interface.
- (x/bank) #7327 AddCoins and SubtractCoins no longer return a resultingValue and will only return an error.
- (x/capability) #7918 Add x/capability safety checks:
  - All outward facing APIs will now check that capability is not nil and name is not empty before performing any state-machine changes
  - SetIndex has been renamed to InitializeIndex
- (x/evidence) #7251 New evidence types and light client evidence handling. The module function names changed.

- (x/ibc) #6374 VerifyMembership and VerifyNonMembership now take a specs []string argument to specify the proof format used for verification. Most SDK chains can simply use commitmenttypes.GetSDKSpecs() for this argument.
- (x/params) #5619 The x/params keeper now accepts a codec.Marshaller instead of a reference to an amino codec. Amino is still used for JSON serialization.
- (x/staking) #6451 DefaultParamspace and ParamKeyTable in staking module are moved from keeper to types to enforce consistency.
- (x/staking) #7419 The TmConsPubKey method on ValidatorI has been removed and replaced instead by ConsPubKey (which returns a SDK cryptotypes.PubKey) and TmConsPublicKey (which returns a Tendermint proto PublicKey).
- (x/staking/types) #7447 Remove bech32 PubKey support:

Improvements

Baseapp / Client / REST
- (baseapp) #6186 Support emitting events during AnteHandler execution.
- (baseapp) #6053 Customizable panic recovery handling added for app.runTx() method (as proposed in the ADR 22). Adds ability for developers to register custom panic handlers extending standard ones.
- (client) #5810 Added a new --offline flag that allows commands to be executed without an internet connection. Previously, --generate-only served this purpose in addition to only allowing txs to be generated. Now, --generate-only solely allows txs to be generated without being broadcasted and disallows Keybase use and --offline allows the use of Keybase but does not allow any functionality that requires an online connection.
- (cli) #7764 Update x/banking and x/crisis InitChain to improve node startup time
- (client) #5856 Added the possibility to set --offline flag with config command.
- (client) #5895 show config options in the config command's help screen.

General
- (crypto) #7987 Fix the inconsistency of CryptoCdc, only use codec/legacy.Cdc.
- (logging) #8072 Refactor logging:
  - Use zerolog over Tendermint's go-kit logging wrapper.
  - Introduce Tendermint's --log_format=plain|json flag. Using format json allows for emitting structured JSON logs which can be consumed by an external logging facility (e.g. Loggly). Both formats log to STDERR.
  - The existing --log_level flag and it's default value now solely relates to the global logging level (e.g. info, debug, etc...) instead of <module>:<level>.
- (rest) #7649 Return an unsigned tx in legacy GET /tx endpoint when signature conversion fails
- (simulation) #6002 Add randomized consensus params into simulation.

v0.39.1 - 2020-08-11

Client Breaking

(x/auth) #6861 Remove public key Bech32 encoding for all account types for JSON serialization, instead relying on direct Amino encoding. In addition, JSON serialization utilizes Amino instead of the Go stdlib, so integers are treated as strings.

Improvements

(client) #6853 Add --unsafe-cors flag.

v0.39.0 - 2020-07-20

Improvements

(deps) Bump IAVL version to v0.14.0
(client) #5585 CLIContext additions:
- Introduce QueryABCI that returns the full abci.ResponseQuery with inclusion Merkle proofs.
- Added prove flag for Merkle proof verification.
(x/staking) #6791) Close {UBDQueue,RedelegationQueu}Iterator once used.

API Breaking Changes

(baseapp) #5837 Transaction simulation now returns a SimulationResponse which contains the GasInfo and Result from the execution.

Client Breaking Changes

(x/auth) #6745 Remove BaseAccount's custom JSON {,un}marshalling.

Bug Fixes

(store) #6475 Revert IAVL pruning functionality introduced in v0.13.0, where the IAVL no longer keeps states in-memory in which it flushes periodically. IAVL now commits and flushes every state to disk as it did pre-v0.13.0. The SDK's multi-store will track and ensure the proper heights are pruned. The operator can set the pruning options via a pruning config via the CLI or through app.toml. The pruning flag exposes default|everything|nothing|custom as options -- see docs for further details. If the operator chooses custom, they may provide granular pruning options pruning-keep-recent, pruning-keep-every, and pruning-interval. The former two options dictate how many recent versions are kept on disk and the offset of what versions are kept after that respectively, and the latter defines the height interval in which versions are deleted in a batch. Note, there are some client-facing API breaking changes with regard to IAVL, stores, and pruning settings.
(x/distribution) #6210 Register MsgFundCommunityPool in distribution amino codec.
(types) #5741 Prevent ChainAnteDecorators() from panicking when empty AnteDecorator slice is supplied.
(baseapp) #6306 Prevent events emitted by the antehandler from being persisted between transactions.
(client/keys) #5091 keys parse does not honor client app's configuration.
(x/bank) #6674 Create account if recipient does not exist on handing MsgMultiSend.
(x/auth) #6287 Fix nonce stuck when sending multiple transactions from an account in a same block.

[v0.38.5] - 2020-07-02

Improvements

(tendermint) Bump Tendermint version to v0.33.6.

[v0.38.4] - 2020-05-21

Bug Fixes

(x/auth) #5950 Fix IncrementSequenceDecorator to use is IsReCheckTx instead of IsCheckTx to allow account sequence incrementing.

[v0.38.3] - 2020-04-09

Improvements

(tendermint) Bump Tendermint version to v0.33.3.

v0.38.2 - 2020-03-25

Bug Fixes

(baseapp) #5718 Remove call to ctx.BlockGasMeter during failed message validation which resulted in a panic when the tx execution mode was CheckTx.
(x/genutil) #5775 Fix ExportGenesis in x/genutil to export default genesis state ([]) instead of null.
(client) #5618 Fix crash on the client when the verifier is not set.
(crypto/keys/mintkey) #5823 fix errors handling in UnarmorPubKeyBytes (underlying armoring function's return error was not being checked).
(x/distribution) #5620 Fix nil pointer deref in distribution tax/reward validation helpers.

Improvements

(rest) #5648 Enhance /txs usability:
- Add tx.minheight key to filter transaction with an inclusive minimum block height
- Add tx.maxheight key to filter transaction with an inclusive maximum block height
(crypto/keys) #5739 Print an error message if the password input failed.

v0.38.1 - 2020-02-11

Improvements

(modules) #5597 Add amount event attribute to the complete_unbonding and complete_redelegation events that reflect the total balances of the completed unbondings and redelegations respectively.

Bug Fixes

(types) #5579 The IAVL Store#Commit method has been refactored to delete a flushed version if it is not a snapshot version. The root multi-store now keeps track of commitInfo instead of types.CommitID. During Commit of the root multi-store, lastCommitInfo is updated from the saved state and is only flushed to disk if it is a snapshot version. During Query of the root multi-store, if the request height is the latest height, we'll use the store's lastCommitInfo. Otherwise, we fetch commitInfo from disk.
(x/bank) #5531 Added missing amount event to MsgMultiSend, emitted for each output.
(x/gov) #5622 Track any events emitted from a proposal's handler upon successful execution.

v0.38.0 - 2020-01-23

State Machine Breaking

(genesis) #5506 The x/distribution genesis state now includes params instead of individual parameters.
(genesis) #5017 The x/genaccounts module has been deprecated and all components removed except the legacy/ package. This requires changes to the genesis state. Namely, accounts now exist under app_state.auth.accounts. The corresponding migration logic has been implemented for v0.38 target version. Applications can migrate via: $ {appd} migrate v0.38 genesis.json.
(modules) #5299 Handling of ABCIEvidenceTypeDuplicateVote during BeginBlock along with the corresponding parameters (MaxEvidenceAge) have moved from the x/slashing module to the x/evidence module.

API Breaking Changes

(modules) #5506 Remove individual setters of x/distribution parameters. Instead, follow the module spec in getting parameters, setting new value(s) and finally calling SetParams.
(types) #5495 Remove redundant (Must)Bech32ify* and (Must)Get*KeyBech32 functions in favor of (Must)Bech32ifyPubKey and (Must)GetPubKeyFromBech32 respectively, both of which take a Bech32PubKeyType (string).
(types) #5430 DecCoins#Add parameter changed from DecCoins to ...DecCoin, Coins#Add parameter changed from Coins to ...Coin.
(baseapp/types) #5421 The Error interface (types/errors.go) has been removed in favor of the concrete type defined in types/errors/ which implements the standard error interface.
- As a result, the Handler and Querier implementations now return a standard error. Within BaseApp, runTx now returns a (GasInfo, *Result, error) tuple and runMsgs returns a (*Result, error) tuple. A reference to a Result is now used to indicate success whereas an error signals an invalid message or failed message execution. As a result, the fields Code, Codespace, GasWanted, and GasUsed have been removed the Result type. The latter two fields are now found in the GasInfo type which is always returned regardless of execution outcome.
- Note to developers: Since all handlers and queriers must now return a standard error, the types/errors/ package contains all the relevant and pre-registered errors that you typically work with. A typical error returned will look like sdkerrors.Wrap(sdkerrors.ErrUnknownRequest, "..."). You can retrieve relevant ABCI information from the error via ABCIInfo.
(client) #5442 Remove client/alias.go as it's not necessary and components can be imported directly from the packages.
(store) #4748 The CommitMultiStore interface now requires a SetInterBlockCache method. Applications that do not wish to support this can simply have this method perform a no-op.
(modules) #4665 Refactored x/gov module structure and dev-UX:
- Prepare for module spec integration
- Update gov keys to use big endian encoding instead of little endian
(modules) #5017 The x/genaccounts module has been deprecated and all components removed except the legacy/ package.
#4486 Vesting account types decoupled from the x/auth module and now live under x/auth/vesting. Applications wishing to use vesting account types must be sure to register types via RegisterCodec under the new vesting package.
#4486 The NewBaseVestingAccount constructor returns an error if the provided arguments are invalid.
(x/auth) #5006 Modular AnteHandler via composable decorators:
- The AnteHandler interface now returns (newCtx Context, err error) instead of (newCtx Context, result sdk.Result, abort bool)
- The NewAnteHandler function returns an AnteHandler function that returns the new AnteHandler interface and has been moved into the auth/ante directory.
- ValidateSigCount, ValidateMemo, ProcessPubKey, EnsureSufficientMempoolFee, and GetSignBytes have all been removed as public functions.
- Invalid Signatures may return InvalidPubKey instead of Unauthorized error, since the transaction will first hit SetPubKeyDecorator before the SigVerificationDecorator runs.
- StdTx#GetSignatures will return an array of just signature byte slices [][]byte instead of returning an array of StdSignature structs. To replicate the old behavior, use the public field StdTx.Signatures to get back the array of StdSignatures []StdSignature.
(modules) #5299 HandleDoubleSign along with params MaxEvidenceAge and DoubleSignJailEndTime have moved from the x/slashing module to the x/evidence module.
(keys) #4941 Keybase concrete types constructors such as NewKeyBaseFromDir and NewInMemory now accept optional parameters of type KeybaseOption. These optional parameters are also added on the keys sub-commands functions, which are now public, and allows these options to be set on the commands or ignored to default to previous behavior.
#5547 NewKeyBaseFromHomeFlag constructor has been removed.
#5439 Further modularization was done to the keybase package to make it more suitable for use with different key formats and algorithms:
- The WithKeygenFunc function added as a KeybaseOption which allows a custom bytes to key implementation to be defined when keys are created.
- The WithDeriveFunc function added as a KeybaseOption allows custom logic for deriving a key from a mnemonic, bip39 password, and HD Path.
- BIP44 is no longer build into keybase.CreateAccount(). It is however the default when using the client/keys add command.
- SupportedAlgos and SupportedAlgosLedger functions return a slice of SigningAlgos that are supported by the keybase and the ledger integration respectively.
(simapp) #5419 The helpers.GenTx() now accepts a gas argument.
(baseapp) #5455 A sdk.Context is now passed into the router.Route() function.

Client Breaking Changes

(rest) #5270 All account types now implement custom JSON serialization.
(rest) #4783 The balance field in the DelegationResponse type is now sdk.Coin instead of sdk.Int
(x/auth) #5006 The gas required to pass the AnteHandler has increased significantly due to modular AnteHandler support. Increase GasLimit accordingly.
(rest) #5336 MsgEditValidator uses description instead of Description as a JSON key.
(keys) #5097 Due to the keybase -> keyring transition, keys need to be migrated. See keys migrate command for more info.
(x/auth) #5424 Drop decode-tx command from x/auth/client/cli, duplicate of the decode command.

Features

(store) #5435 New iterator for paginated requests. Iterator limits DB reads to the range of the requested page.
(x/evidence) #5240 Initial implementation of the x/evidence module.
(cli) #5212 The q gov proposals command now supports pagination.
(store) #4724 Multistore supports substore migrations upon load. New rootmulti.Store.LoadLatestVersionAndUpgrade method in Baseapp supports StoreLoader to enable various upgrade strategies. It no longer panics if the store to load contains substores that we didn't explicitly mount.
#4972 A TxResponse with a corresponding code and tx hash will be returned for specific Tendermint errors:
- CodeTxInMempoolCache
- CodeMempoolIsFull
- CodeTxTooLarge
#3872 Implement a RESTful endpoint and cli command to decode transactions.
(keys) #4754 Introduce new Keybase implementation that can leverage operating systems' built-in functionalities to securely store secrets. MacOS users may encounter the following issue with the go-keychain library. If you encounter this issue, you must upgrade your xcode command line tools to version >= 10.2. You can upgrade via: sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools; xcode-select --install. Verify the correct version via: pkgutil --pkg-info=com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables.
#5355 Client commands accept a new --keyring-backend option through which users can specify which backend should be used by the new key store:
- os: use OS default credentials storage (default).
- file: use encrypted file-based store.
- kwallet: use KDE Wallet service.
- pass: use the pass command line password manager.
- test: use password-less key store. For testing purposes only. Use it at your own risk.
(keys) #5097 New keys migrate command to assist users migrate their keys to the new keyring.
(keys) #5366 keys list now accepts a --list-names option to list key names only, whilst the keys delete command can delete multiple keys by passing their names as arguments. The aforementioned commands can then be piped together, e.g. appcli keys list -n | xargs appcli keys delete
(modules) #4233 Add upgrade module that coordinates software upgrades of live chains.
#4486 Introduce new PeriodicVestingAccount vesting account type that allows for arbitrary vesting periods.
(baseapp) #5196 Baseapp has a new runTxModeReCheck to allow applications to skip expensive and unnecessary re-checking of transactions.
(types) #5196 Context has new IsRecheckTx() bool and WithIsReCheckTx(bool) Context methods to to be used in the AnteHandler.
(x/auth/ante) #5196 AnteDecorators have been updated to avoid unnecessary checks when ctx.IsReCheckTx() == true
(x/auth) #5006 Modular AnteHandler via composable decorators:
- The AnteDecorator interface has been introduced to allow users to implement modular AnteHandler functionality that can be composed together to create a single AnteHandler rather than implementing a custom AnteHandler completely from scratch, where each AnteDecorator allows for custom behavior in tightly defined and logically isolated manner. These custom AnteDecorator can then be chained together with default AnteDecorator or third-party AnteDecorator to create a modularized AnteHandler which will run each AnteDecorator in the order specified in ChainAnteDecorators. For details on the new architecture, refer to the ADR.
- ChainAnteDecorators function has been introduced to take in a list of AnteDecorators and chain them in sequence and return a single AnteHandler:
  - SetUpContextDecorator: Sets GasMeter in context and creates defer clause to recover from any OutOfGas panics in future AnteDecorators and return OutOfGas error to BaseApp. It MUST be the first AnteDecorator in the chain for any application that uses gas (or another one that sets the gas meter).
  - ValidateBasicDecorator: Calls tx.ValidateBasic and returns any non-nil error.
  - ValidateMemoDecorator: Validates tx memo with application parameters and returns any non-nil error.
  - ConsumeGasTxSizeDecorator: Consumes gas proportional to the tx size based on application parameters.
  - MempoolFeeDecorator: Checks if fee is above local mempool minFee parameter during CheckTx.
  - DeductFeeDecorator: Deducts the FeeAmount from first signer of the transaction.
  - SetPubKeyDecorator: Sets pubkey of account in any account that does not already have pubkey saved in state machine.
  - SigGasConsumeDecorator: Consume parameter-defined amount of gas for each signature.
  - SigVerificationDecorator: Verify each signature is valid, return if there is an error.
  - ValidateSigCountDecorator: Validate the number of signatures in tx based on app-parameters.
  - IncrementSequenceDecorator: Increments the account sequence for each signer to prevent replay attacks.
(cli) #5223 Cosmos Ledger App v2.0.0 is now supported. The changes are backwards compatible and App v1.5.x is still supported.
(x/staking) #5380 Introduced ability to store historical info entries in staking keeper, allows applications to introspect specified number of past headers and validator sets
- Introduces new parameter HistoricalEntries which allows applications to determine how many recent historical info entries they want to persist in store. Default value is 0.
- Introduces cli commands and rest routes to query historical information at a given height
(modules) #5249 Funds are now allowed to be directly sent to the community pool (via the distribution module account).
(keys) #4941 Introduce keybase option to allow overriding the default private key implementation of a key generated through the keys add cli command.
(keys) #5439 Flags --algo and --hd-path are added to keys add command in order to make use of keybase modularized. By default, it uses (0, 0) bip44 HD path and secp256k1 keys, so is non-breaking.
(types) #5447 Added ApproxRoot function to sdk.Decimal type in order to get the nth root for a decimal number, where n is a positive integer.
- An ApproxSqrt function was also added for convenience around the common case of n=2.

Improvements

(iavl) #5538 Remove manual IAVL pruning in favor of IAVL's internal pruning strategy.
(server) #4215 The --pruning flag has been moved to the configuration file, to allow easier node configuration.

(cli) #5116 The CLIContext now supports multiple verifiers when connecting to multiple chains. The connecting chain's CLIContext will have to have the correct chain ID and node URI or client set. To use a CLIContext with a verifier for another chain:

// main or parent chain (chain as if you're running without IBC)
mainCtx := context.NewCLIContext()

// connecting IBC chain
sideCtx := context.NewCLIContext().
  WithChainID(sideChainID).
  WithNodeURI(sideChainNodeURI) // or .WithClient(...)

sideCtx = sideCtx.WithVerifier(
  context.CreateVerifier(sideCtx, context.DefaultVerifierCacheSize),
)

#4230 Change the type of ABCIMessageLog#MsgIndex to uint16 for proper serialization.
#4250 BaseApp.Query() returns app's version string set via BaseApp.SetAppVersion() when handling /app/version queries instead of the version string passed as build flag at compile time.
#4262 GoSumHash is no longer returned by the version command.
#4263 RestServer#Start now takes read and write timeout arguments.
#4305 GenerateOrBroadcastMsgs no longer takes an offline parameter.
#4342 Upgrade go-amino to v0.15.0
#4351 InitCmd, AddGenesisAccountCmd, and CollectGenTxsCmd take node's and client's default home directories as arguments.
#4387 Refactor the usage of tags (now called events) to reflect the new ABCI events semantics:
- Move x/{module}/tags/tags.go => x/{module}/types/events.go
- Update docs/specs
- Refactor tags in favor of new Event(s) type(s)
- Update Context to use new EventManager
- (Begin|End)Blocker no longer return tags, but rather uses new EventManager
- Message handlers no longer return tags, but rather uses new EventManager Any component (e.g. BeginBlocker, message handler, etc...) wishing to emit an event must do so through ctx.EventManger().EmitEvent(s). To reset or wipe emitted events: ctx = ctx.WithEventManager(sdk.NewEventManager()) To get all emitted events: events := ctx.EventManager().Events()
#4437 Replace governance module store keys to use []byte instead of string.
#4451 Improve modularization of clients and modules:
- Module directory structure improved and standardized

#4633 Update old Tx search by tags APIs to use new Events nomenclature.
#4649 Refactor x/crisis as per modules new specs.
#3685 The default signature verification gas logic (DefaultSigVerificationGasConsumer) now specifies explicit key types rather than string pattern matching. This means that zones that depended on string matching to allow other keys will need to write a custom SignatureVerificationGasConsumer function.
#4663 Refactor bank keeper by removing private functions
- InputOutputCoins, SetCoins, SubtractCoins and AddCoins are now part of the SendKeeper instead of the Keeper interface
(tendermint) #4721 Upgrade Tendermint to v0.32.1

#4318 Support height queries. Queries against nodes that have the queried height pruned will return an error.
#4409 Implement a command that migrates exported state from one version to the next. The migrate command currently supports migrating from v0.34 to v0.36 by implementing necessary types for both versions.
#4570 Move /bank/balances/{address} REST handler to x/bank/client/rest. The exposed interface is unchanged.
Community pool spend proposal per Cosmos Hub governance proposal #7 "Activate the Community Pool"

#4259 Coins that are nil are now JSON encoded as an empty array []. Decoding remains unchanged and behavior is left intact.
#4305 The --generate-only CLI flag fully respects offline tx processing.
#4379 close db write batch.
#4384- Allow splitting withdrawal transaction in several chunks
#4403 Allow for parameter change proposals to supply only desired fields to be updated in objects instead of the entire object (only applies to values that are objects).
#4415 /client refactor, reduce genutil dependancy on staking

#4629 Added warning event that gets emitted if validator misses a block.
#4674 Export Simapp genState generators and util functions by making them public
#4706 Simplify context Replace complex Context construct with a simpler immutible struct. Only breaking change is not to support Value and GetValue as first class calls. We do embed ctx.Context() as a raw context.Context instead to be used as you see fit.

Migration guide:
```
ctx = ctx.WithValue(contextKeyBadProposal, false)
```
Now becomes:
```
ctx = ctx.WithContext(context.WithValue(ctx.Context(), contextKeyBadProposal, false))
```
A bit more verbose, but also allows context.WithTimeout(), etc and only used in one function in this repo, in test code.
#3685 Add SetAddressVerifier and GetAddressVerifier to sdk.Config to allow SDK users to configure custom address format verification logic (to override the default limitation of 20-byte addresses).
#3685 Add an additional parameter to NewAnteHandler for a custom SignatureVerificationGasConsumer (the default logic is now in `DefaultSigVerificationGasConsumer). This allows SDK users to configure their own logic for which key types are accepted and how those key types consume gas.
Remove --print-response flag as it is no longer used.
Revert #2284 to allow create_empty_blocks in the config

0.33.0

BREAKING CHANGES

Gaia REST API
- #3641 Remove the ability to use a Keybase from the REST API client:

  - All txs that used to sign or use the Keybase now only generate the tx
  - keys routes completely removed
- #3692 Update tx encoding and broadcasting endpoints:
  - Remove duplicate broadcasting endpoints in favor of POST @ /txs
    - The Tx field now accepts a StdTx and not raw tx bytes
  - Move encoding endpoint to /txs/encode
Gaia
- #3787 Fork the x/bank module into the Gaia application with only a modified message handler, where the modified message handler behaves the same as the standard x/bank message handler except for MsgMultiSend that must burn exactly 9 atoms and transfer 1 atom, and MsgSend is disabled.
- #3789 Update validator creation flow:
  - Remove NewMsgCreateValidatorOnBehalfOf and corresponding business logic
  - Ensure the validator address equals the delegator address during MsgCreateValidator#ValidateBasic
SDK
- #3750 Track outstanding rewards per-validator instead of globally, and fix the main simulation issue, which was that slashes of re-delegations to a validator were not correctly accounted for in fee distribution when the redelegation in question had itself been slashed (from a fault committed by a different validator) in the same BeginBlock. Outstanding rewards are now available on a per-validator basis in REST.
- #3669 Ensure consistency in message naming, codec registration, and JSON tags.

Everything has changed, and it's all about to change again, so don't bother using it yet!

0.6.2 (July 27, 2017)

IMPROVEMENTS:

auto-test all tutorials to detect breaking changes
move deployment scripts from /scripts to /publish for clarity

BUG FIXES:

basecoin init ensures the address in genesis.json is valid
fix bug that certain addresses couldn't receive ibc packets

0.6.1 (June 28, 2017)

Make lots of small cli fixes that arose when people were using the tools for the testnet.

IMPROVEMENTS:

basecoin
- basecoin start supports all flags that tendermint node does, such as --rpc.laddr, --p2p.seeds, and --p2p.skip_upnp
- fully supports --log_level and --trace for logger configuration
- merkleeyes no longers spams the logs... unless you want it
  - Example: basecoin start --log_level="merkleeyes:info,state:info,*:error"
  - Example: basecoin start --log_level="merkleeyes:debug,state:info,*:error"
basecli
- basecli init is more intelligent and only complains if there really was a connected chain, not just random files
- support localhost:46657 or http://localhost:46657 format for nodes, not just tcp://localhost:46657
- Add --genesis to init to specify chain-id and validator hash
  - Example: basecli init --node=localhost:46657 --genesis=$HOME/.basecoin/genesis.json
- basecli rpc has a number of methods to easily accept tendermint rpc, and verifies what it can

BUG FIXES:

basecli
- basecli query account accepts hex account address with or without 0x prefix
- gives error message when running commands on an unitialized chain, rather than some unintelligable panic

0.6.0 (June 22, 2017)

Make the basecli command the only way to use client-side, to enforce best security practices. Lots of enhancements to get it up to production quality.

BREAKING CHANGES:

./cmd/commands -> ./cmd/basecoin/commands
basecli
- basecli proof state get -> basecli query key
- basecli proof tx get -> basecli query tx
- basecli proof state get --app=account -> basecli query account
- use --chain-id not --chainid for consistency
- update to use --trace not --debug for stack traces on errors
- complete overhaul on how tx and query subcommands are added. (see counter or trackomatron for examples)
- no longer supports counter app (see new countercli)
basecoin
- basecoin init takes an argument, an address to allocate funds to in the genesis
- removed key2.json
- removed all client side functionality from it (use basecli now for proofs)
  - no tx subcommand
  - no query subcommand
  - no account (query) subcommand
  - a few other random ones...
- enhanced relay subcommand
  - relay start did what relay used to do
  - relay init registers both chains on one another (to set it up so relay start just works)
docs
- removed example-plugin, put counter inside docs/guide
app
- Implements ABCI handshake by proxying merkleeyes.Info()

IMPROVEMENTS:

basecoin init support --chain-id
intergrates tendermint 0.10.0 (not the rc-2, but the real thing)
commands return error code (1) on failure for easier script testing
add reset_all to basecli, and never delete keys on init
new shutil based unit tests, with better coverage of the cli actions
just make fresh when things are getting stale ;)

BUG FIXES:

app: no longer panics on missing app_options in genesis (thanks, anton)
docs: updated all docs... again
ibc: fix panic on getting BlockID from commit without 100% precommits (still a TODO)

BUG FIXES:

fix parsing of the log level from Tendermint config (#97)

0.5.1 (May 30, 2017)

BUG FIXES:

fix ibc demo app to use proper tendermint flags, 0.10.0-rc2 compatibility
Make sure all cli uses new json.Marshal not wire.JSONBytes

0.5.0 (May 27, 2017)

BREAKING CHANGES:

only those related to the tendermint 0.9 -> 0.10 upgrade

IMPROVEMENTS:

basecoin cli
- integrates tendermint 0.10.0 and unifies cli (init, unsafe_reset_all, ...)
- integrate viper, all command line flags can also be defined in environmental variables or config.toml
genesis file
- you can define accounts with either address or pub_key
- sorts coins for you, so no silent errors if not in alphabetical order
light-client integration
- no longer must you trust the node you connect to, prove everything!
- new basecli command
- integrated key management, stored encrypted locally
- tracks validator set changes and proves everything from one initial validator seed
- basecli proof state gets complete proofs for any abci state
- basecli proof tx gets complete proof where a tx was stored in the chain
- basecli proxy exposes tendermint rpc, but only passes through results after doing complete verification

BUG FIXES:

no more silently ignored error with invalid coin names (eg. "17.22foo coin" used to parse as "17 foo", not warning/error)

0.4.1 (April 26, 2017)

BUG FIXES:

Fix bug in basecoin unsafe_reset_X where the priv_validator.json was not being reset

0.4.0 (April 21, 2017)

BREAKING CHANGES:

CLI now uses Cobra, which forced changes to some of the flag names and orderings

IMPROVEMENTS:

basecoin init doesn't generate error if already initialized
Much more testing

0.3.1 (March 23, 2017)

IMPROVEMENTS:

CLI returns exit code 1 and logs error before exiting

0.3.0 (March 23, 2017)

BREAKING CHANGES:

Remove --data flag and use BCHOME to set the home directory (defaults to ~/.basecoin)
Remove --in-proc flag and start Tendermint in-process by default (expect Tendermint files in $BCHOME/tendermint). To start just the ABCI app/server, use basecoin start --without-tendermint.
Consolidate genesis files so the Basecoin genesis is an object under app_options in Tendermint genesis. For instance:

{
  "app_hash": "",
  "chain_id": "foo_bar_chain",
  "genesis_time": "0001-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
  "validators": [
    {
      "amount": 10,
      "name": "",
      "pub_key": [
	1,
	"7B90EA87E7DC0C7145C8C48C08992BE271C7234134343E8A8E8008E617DE7B30"
      ]
    }
  ],
  "app_options": {
    "accounts": [{
      "pub_key": {
        "type": "ed25519",
        "data": "6880db93598e283a67c4d88fc67a8858aa2de70f713fe94a5109e29c137100c2"
      },
      "coins": [
        {
          "denom": "blank",
          "amount": 12345
        },
        {
          "denom": "ETH",
          "amount": 654321
        }
      ]
    }],
    "plugin_options": ["plugin1/key1", "value1", "plugin1/key2", "value2"]
  }
}

Note the array of key-value pairs is now under app_options.plugin_options while the app_options themselves are well formed. We also changed chainID to chain_id and consolidated to have just one of them.

FEATURES:

Introduce basecoin init and basecoin unsafe_reset_all

0.2.0 (March 6, 2017)

BREAKING CHANGES:

Update to ABCI v0.4.0 and Tendermint v0.9.0

Add /account path in Query
IBC plugin for InterBlockchain Communication
Demo script of IBC between two chains

IMPROVEMENTS:

Use new Tendermint /commit endpoint for crafting IBC transactions
