 ### Improvements
  * `ReentrancyGuard`: reduced overhead of using the `nonReentrant` modifier. ([#2171](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/pull/2171))
  * `AccessControl`: added a `RoleAdminChanged` event to `_setAdminRole`. ([#2214](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/pull/2214))
+ * Made all `public` functions in the token preset contracts `virtual`. ([#2257](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/pull/2257))
