 * (types/rest) [\#5900](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5900) Add Check*Error function family to spare developers from replicating tons of boilerplate code.
 * (x/evidence) [\#5952](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5952) Tendermint Consensus parameters can now be changed via parameter change proposals through `x/gov`.
 * (x/auth/ante) [\#6040](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/6040) `AccountKeeper` interface used for `NewAnteHandler` and handler's decorators to add support of using custom `AccountKeeper` implementations.
-* (simulation) [\#6002](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/6002) Add randomized consensus params into simulation.
