BREAKING CHANGES

* Gaia REST API (`gaiacli advanced rest-server`)
    * [x/stake] Validator.Owner renamed to Validator.Operator
    * [\#595](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/595) Connections to the REST server are now secured using Transport Layer Security by default. The --insecure flag is provided to switch back to insecure HTTP.

* Gaia CLI  (`gaiacli`)
    * [x/stake] Validator.Owner renamed to Validator.Operator
    * [cli] unsafe_reset_all, show_validator, and show_node_id have been renamed to unsafe-reset-all, show-validator, and show-node-id

    * [cli] [\#1983](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/1983) you can now pass --pubkey or --address to gaiacli keys show to return a plaintext representation of the key's address or public key for use with other commands

    Bech32 prefixes have been introduced for a validator's consensus address and
    public key: `cosmosvalcons` and `cosmosvalconspub` respectively. Also, existing Bech32 prefixes have been
    renamed for accounts and validator operators:
