cosmos/cosmos-sdk v0.40.0-rc5 on GitHub

Changelog entries since v0.40.0-rc4:

(auth/tx) Add new auth/tx gRPC & gRPC-Gateway endpoints for basic querying & broadcasting support
- #7842 Add TxsByEvent gRPC endpoint
- #7852 Add tx broadcast gRPC endpoint
(client/keys) #8043 Add support for export of unarmored private key
(client/tx) #7801 Update sign-batch multisig to work online
(crypto) #7987 Fix the inconsistency of CryptoCdc, only use
codec/legacy.Cdc.
(logging) #8072 Refactor logging:
- Use zerolog over Tendermint's go-kit logging wrapper.
- Introduce Tendermint's --log_format=plain|json flag. Using format json allows for emitting structured JSON
  logs which can be consumed by an external logging facility (e.g. Loggly). Both formats log to STDERR.
- The existing --log_level flag and it's default value now solely relates to the global logging
  level (e.g. info, debug, etc...) instead of <module>:<level>.
(SDK) #7925 Updated dependencies
- Updated gRPC dependency to v1.33.2
- Updated iavl dependency to v0.15-rc5
- Updated tendermint dependency to v0.34.0
(version) #7848 #7941
version --long output now shows the list of build dependencies and replaced build dependencies.
(x/genutil) #8099 init now supports a --recover flag to recover
the private validator key from a given mnemonic

(crypto) #7419 The SDK doesn't use Tendermint's crypto.PubKey
interface anymore, and uses instead it's own PubKey interface, defined in crypto/types. Replace all instances of
crypto.PubKey by cryptotypes.Pubkey.
(x/staking) #7419 The TmConsPubKey method on ValidatorI has been
removed and replaced instead by ConsPubKey (which returns a SDK cryptotypes.PubKey) and TmConsPublicKey (which
returns a Tendermint proto PublicKey).

(x/staking) #7979 keeper pubkey storage serialization migration
from bech32 to protobuf.

(codec/types) #8106 Adding NewAnyWithCustomTypeURL to correctly
marshal Messages in TxBuilder.

#8080 Updated the codec.Marshaler interface
- Moved MarshalAny and UnmarshalAny helper functions to codec.Marshaler and renamed to MarshalInterface and
  UnmarshalInterface respectively. These functions must take interface as a parameter (not a concrete type nor Any
  object). Underneath they use Any wrapping for correct protobuf serialization.
(client) #8107 Renamed PrintOutput and PrintOutputLegacy
methods of the context.Client object to PrintProto and PrintObjectLegacy.
(grpc/tmservice) #8060 TmService gRPC service's validator pubkey
type changed from bech32 format to Any
(x/auth/tx) #8106 change related to missing append functionality in
client transaction signing
- added overwriteSig argument to x/auth/client.SignTx and client/tx.Sign functions.
- removed x/auth/tx.go:wrapper.GetSignatures. The wrapper provides TxBuilder functionality, and it's a private
  structure. That function was not used at all and it's not exposed through the TxBuilder interface.

(crypto) #7966 Bip44Params String() function now correctly
returns the absolute HD path by adding the m/ prefix.
(crypto/keys) #7838 Add support for TM secp256k1 keys back to the
SDK for consensus pubkeys
(x/auth/client/cli) #8106 fixing regression bugs in transaction signing.
