 * [\#10748](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/10748) Move legacy `x/gov` api to `v1beta1` directory.
 * [\#10816](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/10816) Reuse blocked addresses from the bank module. No need to pass them to distribution. 
 * [\#10852](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/10852) Move `x/gov/types` to `x/gov/types/v1beta2`.

Moved `TestMnemonic` from `testutil` package to `testdata`.
+* (x/bank) [\#10771](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/10771) Add safety check on bank module perms to allow module-specific mint restrictions (e.g. only minting a certain denom).* (x/bank) [\#10771](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/10771) Add `bank.BaseKeeper.WithMintCoinsRestriction` function to restrict use of bank `MintCoins` usage.
+* [\#10868](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/10868), [\#10989](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/10989) The Gov keeper accepts now 2 more mandatory arguments, the ServiceMsgRouter and a maximum proposal metadata length.

 * [\#11124](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/11124) Add `GetAllVersions` to application store
 * (x/authz) [\#10447](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/10447) authz `NewGrant` takes a new argument: block time, to correctly validate expire time.

 ### Client Breaking Changes
 
 * [\#11089](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/11089]) interacting with the node through `grpc.Dial` requires clients to pass a codec refer to [doc](docs/run-node/interact-node.md).
