 ### Features
 
+* [\#11308](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/11308) Added a mandatory metadata field to Vote in x/gov v1beta2.
 * [\#10977](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/10977) Now every cosmos message protobuf definition must be extended with a ``cosmos.msg.v1.signer`` option to signal the signer fields in a language agnostic way.
 * [\#10710](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/10710) Chain-id shouldn't be required for creating a transaction with both --generate-only and --offline flags.
 * [\#10703](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/10703) Create a new grantee account, if the grantee of an authorization does not exist.
