Update sdk version to v0.46.0-alpha2

[sahith-narahari]

Summary

We're testing out some recently added functionality on sdk, which needs a simapp with ibc. Is there a tracking issue or plan wrt sdk version upgrade? A branch with version updated would work, in case the team isn't comfortable cutting a release with alpha versions.
Here's a link to the sdk tag https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/releases/tag/v0.46.0-alpha2

Thanks for opening this issue, @sahith-narahari.

Yes, we will plan and work on the upgrade to SDK 0.46. And yes, we will probably create a branch to start the integration but not release until the final version of the SDK is out.

that's great news!

We're using 46 for craft economy :)

Hey, I've got a question about this-- the main challenge seems to be the upgrades to gov, and I realize that I can use the wrappers in v1beta2 to use the old gov v1beta1 types but as I've gone through it, I have been taking out support for v1beta1 and adding messages and the like for v 1beta2.

Can anyone tell me if this is right or wrong, and if I am tossing out compatibility by doing this?

We have this branch now with 0.46-beta2 and this branch with 0.46-rc1. Please note that the former is the main branch for the work to upgrade to 0.46; the latter is a branch to make the incremental upgrade before the final release of 0.46 easier.
