 * (rest) [\#5336](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/5336) `MsgEditValidator` uses `description` instead of `Description` as a JSON key.
 * (keys) [\#5097](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5097) Due to the keybase -> keyring transition, keys need to be migrated. See `keys migrate` command for more info.
+* (x/auth) [\#5424](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/5424) Drop `decode-tx` command from x/auth/client/cli, duplicate of the `decode` command.
