 * (client) [#17513](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/17513) Allow overwritting `client.toml`. Use `client.CreateClientConfig` in place of `client.ReadFromClientConfig` and provide a custom template and a custom config.
 * (x/bank) [#14224](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/14224) Allow injection of restrictions on transfers using `AppendSendRestriction` or `PrependSendRestriction`.
