 BREAKING CHANGES:
 
 * CLI/RPC/Config
-- [config] `mempool.wal` is disabled by default
+  * [config] `mempool.wal` is disabled by default
+  * [rpc] \#2298 `/abci_query` takes `prove` argument instead of `trusted` and switches the default
+    behaviour to `prove=false`
+  * [privval] \#2459 Split `SocketPVMsg`s implementations into Request and Response, where the Response may contain a error message (returned by the remote signer).
 
 * Apps
+  * [abci] \#2298 ResponseQuery.Proof is now a structured merkle.Proof, not just
+    arbitrary bytes
 
 * Go API

+  * [rpc/client] \#2298 `ABCIQueryOptions.Trusted` -> `ABCIQueryOptions.Prove`
+  * [types] \#2298 Remove `Index` and `Total` fields from `TxProof`.
+  * [crypto/merkle & lite] \#2298 Various changes to accomodate General Merkle trees
 
 * Blockchain Protocol
   * [types] \#2459 `Vote`/`Proposal`/`Heartbeat` use amino encoding instead of JSON in `SignBytes`.
-  * [privval] \#2459 Split `SocketPVMsg`s implementations into Request and Response, where the Response may contain a error message (returned by the remote signer).

 FEATURES:
+- [crypto/merkle] \#2298 General Merkle Proof scheme for chaining various types of Merkle trees together
 
 IMPROVEMENTS:
 - [consensus] [\#2169](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/2169) add additional metrics
