 ### SDK
 
+* \#3728 Truncate decimal multiplication & division in distribution to ensure
+         no more than the collected fees / inflation are distributed
 * \#3727 Return on zero-length (including []byte{}) PrefixEndBytes() calls
 * \#3559 fix occasional failing due to non-determinism in lcd test TestBonding
   where validator is unexpectedly slashed throwing off test calculations
