# Unreleased Changes

## vX.X

Special thanks to external contributors on this release:

@p4u from vocdoni.io reported that the mempool might behave incorrectly under a
high load. The consequences can range from pauses between blocks to the peers
disconnecting from this node. As a temporary remedy (until the mempool package
is refactored), the `max-batch-bytes` was disabled. Transactions will be sent
one by one without batching.

Friendly reminder, we have a [bug bounty program](https://hackerone.com/tendermint).

### BREAKING CHANGES

- CLI/RPC/Config
  - [config] \#5598 The `test_fuzz` and `test_fuzz_config` P2P settings have been removed. (@erikgrinaker)

- [privval] \#5603 Add `--key` to `init`, `gen_validator`, `testnet` & `unsafe_reset_priv_validator` for use in generating `secp256k1` keys.
- [abci/client] \#5673 `Async` requests return an error if queue is full (@melekes)
- [mempool] \#5673 Cancel `CheckTx` requests if RPC client disconnects or times out (@melekes)
- [abci] \#5706 Added `AbciVersion` to `RequestInfo` allowing applications to check ABCI version when connecting to Tendermint. (@marbar3778)
- [blockchain/v1] \#5728 Remove in favor of v2 (@melekes)
- [blockchain/v0] \#5741 Relax termination conditions and increase sync timeout (@melekes)
