<!--
Guiding Principles:

Changelogs are for humans, not machines.
There should be an entry for every single version.
The same types of changes should be grouped.
Versions and sections should be linkable.
The latest version comes first.
The release date of each version is displayed.
Mention whether you follow Semantic Versioning.

Usage:

Change log entries are to be added to the Unreleased section under the
appropriate stanza (see below). Each entry should ideally include a tag and
the Github issue reference in the following format:

* (<tag>) \#<issue-number> message

The issue numbers will later be link-ified during the release process so you do
not have to worry about including a link manually, but you can if you wish.

Types of changes (Stanzas):

"Features" for new features.
"Improvements" for changes in existing functionality.
"Deprecated" for soon-to-be removed features.
"Bug Fixes" for any bug fixes.
"Breaking" for breaking API changes.

# Changelog

## [Unreleased]

### Breaking Changes

* (modules) [\#4665](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/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

### Features

* (store) [\#4724](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/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.

  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](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/4437) Replace governance module store keys to use `[]byte` instead of `string`.

  The account is now nested under `account`.
* [\#4543](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/4543) Account getters are no longer part of client.CLIContext() and have now moved
  to reside in the auth-specific AccountRetriever.
* [\#4588](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/4588) Context does not depend on x/auth anymore. client/context is stripped out of the following features:
  - GetAccountDecoder()
  - CLIContext.WithAccountDecoder()
  - CLIContext.WithAccountStore()
  x/auth.AccountDecoder is unnecessary and consequently removed.
* [\#4602](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/4602) client/input.{Buffer,Override}Stdin() functions are removed. Thanks to cobra's new release they are now redundant.
* [\#4633](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/4633) Update old Tx search by tags APIs to use new Events

This means that zones that depended on string matching to allow other keys will need to write a custom `SignatureVerificationGasConsumer` function.
* [\#4663](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/4663) Refactor bank keeper by removing private functions
  - `InputOutputCoins`, `SetCoins`, `SubtractCoins` and `AddCoins` are now part of the `SendKeeper` instead of the `Keeper` interface

  We do embed ctx.Context() as a raw context.Context instead to be used as you see fit.

  Migration guide:

  ```go
  ctx = ctx.WithValue(contextKeyBadProposal, false)
  ```

  Now becomes:

  ```go
  ctx = ctx.WithContext(context.WithValue(ctx.Context(), contextKeyBadProposal, false))
  ```

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](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/2284) to allow create_empty_blocks in the config
* (tendermint) [\#4718](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/4718) Upgrade tendermint/iavl to v0.12.3

    * 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.

    * no query subcommand
    * no account (query) subcommand
    * a few other random ones...
  * enhanced relay subcommand

* app
  * Implements ABCI handshake by proxying merkleeyes.Info()

* 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](https://github.com/tendermint/light-client) integration
  * no longer must you trust the node you connect to, prove everything!
  * new [basecli command](./cmd/basecli/README.md)
  * integrated [key management](https://github.com/tendermint/go-crypto/blob/master/cmd/README.md), 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)

## 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:
