 # Changelog
 
+## v0.31.0
+
+*March 13th, 2019*
+
+Special thanks to external contributors on this release:
+@danil-lashin, @guagualvcha, @jleni, @siburu, @silasdavis, @srmo, @Stumble, @svenstaro 
+
+### BREAKING CHANGES:
+
+* CLI/RPC/Config
+- [rpc/client] Update Subscribe interface to reflect new pubsub/eventBus API [ADR-33](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/blob/develop/docs/architecture/adr-033-pubsub.md)
+
+* Apps
+
+* Go API
+- [libs/common] TrapSignal accepts logger as a first parameter and does not block anymore
+  * previously it was dumping "captured ..." msg to os.Stdout
+  * TrapSignal should not be responsible for blocking thread of execution
+
+* Blockchain Protocol
+
+* P2P Protocol
+
+### FEATURES:
+- [mempool] [\#3079](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/3079) bound mempool memory usage (`mempool.max_txs_bytes` is set to 1GB by default; see config.toml)
+  mempool's current `txs_total_bytes` is exposed via `total_bytes` field in
+  `/num_unconfirmed_txs` and `/unconfirmed_txs` RPC endpoints.
+- [config] [\#2920](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/2920) Remove `consensus.blocktime_iota` parameter
+- [genesis] [\#2920](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/2920) Add `time_iota_ms` to block's consensus parameters (not exposed to the application)
+- [genesis] [\#2920](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/2920) Rename `consensus_params.block_size` to `consensus_params.block`
+- [lite] add `/unsubscribe_all` endpoint, which allows you to unsubscribe from all events
+
+### IMPROVEMENTS:
+- [libs/common] [\#3238](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/3238) exit with zero (0) code upon receiving SIGTERM/SIGINT
+- [libs/db] [\#3378](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/3378) CLevelDB#Stats now returns the following properties:
+  - leveldb.num-files-at-level{n}
+  - leveldb.stats
+  - leveldb.sstables
+  - leveldb.blockpool
+  - leveldb.cachedblock
+  - leveldb.openedtables
+  - leveldb.alivesnaps
+  - leveldb.aliveiters
+
+### BUG FIXES:
+- [p2p/conn] [\#3347](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/3347) Reject all-zero shared secrets in the Diffie-Hellman step of secret-connection
+- [libs/pubsub] [\#951](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/951), [\#1880](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/1880) use non-blocking send when dispatching messages [ADR-33](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/blob/develop/docs/architecture/adr-033-pubsub.md)
+- [p2p] [\#3369](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/3369) do not panic when filter times out
+- [cmd] [\#3408](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/3408) Fix `testnet` command's panic when creating non-validator configs (using `--n` flag) (@srmo)
