 ### Bug Fixes
 
+* [\#9514](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/9514) Fix panic when retrieving the `BlockGasMeter` on `(Re)CheckTx` mode.
 * [\#9454](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/9454) Fix testnet command with --node-dir-prefix accepts `-` and change `node-dir-prefix token` to `testtoken`.
 * (x/gov) [\#8813](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/8813) fix `GET /cosmos/gov/v1beta1/proposals/{proposal_id}/deposits` to include initial deposit
 * (gRPC) [\#8945](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/8945) gRPC reflection now works correctly.
