* [store] Speedup IAVL iteration, and consequently everything that requires IAVL iteration. [#2143](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/2143)
* [simulation] Make logs not just pure strings, speeding it up by a large factor at greater block heights [\#2282](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/2282)
* [simulation] Add a concept of weighting the operations [\#2303](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/2303)
* [simulation] Logs get written to file if large, and also get printed on panics [\#2285](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/2285)
* [simulation] Bank simulations now makes testing auth configurable [\#2425](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/2425)
* [gaiad] [\#1992](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/1992) Add optional flag to `gaiad testnet` to make config directory of daemon (default `gaiad`) and cli (default `gaiacli`) configurable
* [x/stake] Add stake `Queriers` for Gaia-lite endpoints. This increases the staking endpoints performance by reusing the staking `keeper` logic for queries. [#2249](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/2149)
* [\#1988](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/1988) Make us compile on OpenBSD (disable ledger) [#1988] (https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/1988)
* [\#2105](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/2105) Fix DB Iterator leak, which may leak a go routine.
* [ledger] [\#2064](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/2064) Fix inability to sign and send transactions via the LCD by
loading a Ledger device at runtime.
* [\#2158](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/2158) Fix non-deterministic ordering of validator iteration when slashing in `gov EndBlocker`
- [x/auth] [\#2376](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/2376) No longer runs any signature in a multi-msg, if any account/sequence number is wrong.
- [x/auth] [\#2376](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/2376) No longer charge gas for subtracting fees
- [tests] [\#1806](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/1806) CLI tests are now behind the build flag 'cli_test', so go test works on a new repo
* [\#1630](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/1630) - redelegation nolonger removes tokens from the delegator liquid account
* [keys] [\#1629](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/1629) - updating password no longer asks for a new password when the first entered password was incorrect
