   * Update `handleQueryStore` to resemble `handleQueryCustom`
 * (simulation) [\#4912](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/4912) Fix SimApp ModuleAccountAddrs
 to properly return black listed addresses for bank keeper initialization.
+* (cli) [\#4919](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/4919) Don't crash CLI
+if user doesn't answer y/n confirmation request.
+* (cli) [\#4927](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/4927) Fix the `q gov vote`
+command to handle empty (pruned) votes correctly.
+
+### Improvements
+
+* (rest) [\#4924](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/4924) Return response
+height even upon error as it may be useful for the downstream caller and have
+`/auth/accounts/{address}` return a 200 with an empty account upon error when
+that error is that the account doesn't exist.
