## Description

Add sr25519 as a validator key option. We support the crypto in tendermint and added batch verification recently.

This is an attempt to clean up the logging message as requested in #6269.

## Description

- Add `context.Context` to Privval interface

This pr does not introduce context into our custom privval connection protocol because this will be removed in the next release. When this pr is released.

## Description

Since events are not hashed into the header they can be non deterministic. Changing an event is not consensus breaking. Will update docs in the spec

## Description

- remove unused functions
- remove a function used in tests.

Closes: #XXX

Closes #6010

## Description

- removes blocktimeiota 
- merges block params in abci and core state
- spec change: https://github.com/tendermint/spec/pull/248


Closes: #5939

## Description

Separate protobuf and domain types. We should avoid using protobuf in our core logic.

time_iota_ms is intended to ensure that an honest validator always generates timestamps 
with time increasing monotonically. For this purpose, it always suffices to have this parameter
set to `1ms`. Allowing users to choose different numbers increases bug surface area.
Thus the code now ignores the user provided time_iota_ms parameter (marking it as unused), 
and uses 1ms internally.

Remove unused ReadFile (unused) and
WriteFile (almost unused, alias of ioutil.WriteFile).

Add testcases for Must{Read,Write}File.

Secp256k1 was removed in the protobuf migration, this pr adds it back in order to provide this functionality for users (band)

## Description

In protobuf `[]byte` is varint encoded. When adding txs to the block we were not taking this into account.

## Description

Check block protocol version in header validate basic. 

I tried searching for where we check the P2P protocol version but was unable to find it. When we check compatibility with a node we check we both have the same block protocol and are on the same network, but we do not check if we are on the same P2P protocol. It makes sense if there is a handshake change because we would not be able to establish a secure connection, but a p2p protocol version bump may be because of a p2p message change, which would go unnoticed until that message is sent over the wire.  Is this purposeful?

Ref #5288

Fixes #5276.

## Description

This PR aims to make the crypto.PubKey interface more intuitive. 

Changes: 

- `VerfiyBytes` -> `VerifySignature`

Before `Bytes()` was amino encoded, now since it is the byte representation should we get rid of it entirely?

EDIT: decided to keep `Bytes()` as it is useful if you are using the interface instead of the concrete key

Closes: #XXX

Adds a genesis parameter `initial_height` which specifies the initial block height, as well as ABCI `RequestInitChain.InitialHeight` to pass it to the ABCI application, and `State.InitialHeight` to keep track of the initial height throughout the code. Fixes #2543, based on [RFC-002](https://github.com/tendermint/spec/pull/119). Spec changes in https://github.com/tendermint/spec/pull/135.

adds blockstore interface to evidence and adds fix to byzantine test
