November 2, 2018

Special thanks to external contributors on this release: @bradyjoestar, @connorwstein, @goolAdapter, @HaoyangLiu, @james-ray, @overbool, @phymbert, @Slamper, @Uzair1995, @yutianwu.

Special thanks to @Slamper for a series of bug reports in our bug bounty program which are fixed in this release.

This release is primarily about adding Version fields to various data structures, optimizing consensus messages for signing and verification in restricted environments (like HSMs and the Ethereum Virtual Machine), and aligning the consensus code with the specification. It also includes our first take at a generalized merkle proof system, and changes the length of hashes used for hashing data structures from 20 to 32 bytes.

See the UPGRADING.md for details on upgrading to the new version.

Please note that we are still making breaking changes to the protocols. While the new Version fields should help us to keep the software backwards compatible even while upgrading the protocols, we cannot guarantee that new releases will be compatible with old chains just yet. We expect there will be another breaking release or two before the Cosmos Hub launch, but we will otherwise be paying increasing attention to backwards compatibility. Thanks for bearing with us!

Special thanks to external contributors with PRs included in this release: ackratos, james-ray, bradyjoestar, peerlink, Ahmah2009, bluele, b00f.

This release includes breaking upgrades in the block header, including the long awaited changes for delaying validator set updates by one block to better support light clients. It also fixes enforcement on the maximum size of blocks, and includes a BFT timestamp in each block that can be safely used by applications. There are also some minor breaking changes to the rpc, config, and ABCI.

See the UPGRADING.md for details on upgrading to the new version.

From here on, breaking changes will be broken down to better reflect how users are affected by a change.

A few more breaking changes are in the works - each will come with a clear Architecture Decision Record (ADR) explaining the change. You can review ADRs here or in the open Pull Requests. You can also check in on the issues marked as breaking.
