UPDATES

• 20th December 2022: This release is NOT recommended since it uses a version of Cosmos SDK (v0.46.4) that has been retracted. Please use version >= 5.2.0.

---

This release bumps the Cosmos SDK from v0.46.3 to v0.46.4 and introduces a couple of improvements requested by the community. Please see the v5.1.0 changelog for more details.

apps/transfer

• The sequence number of the packet sent has been added to MsgTransferResponse.
• An optional memo field has been added to FungibleTokenPacketData. Token transfers that include a non-empty memo field will fail if the receiver chain is not running a version of ibc-go that also supports the memo field. Please read this blog post for more information.

apps/27-interchain-accounts

• The check in OnChanOpenTry callback on the host submodule that required the port ID on the controller chain to be prefixed by icacontroller- has been removed.
