 ### Improvements
 
+* (channel) [\#692](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/pull/692) Minimize channel logging by only emitting the packet sequence, source port/channel, destination port/channel upon packet receives, acknowledgements and timeouts.
 * [\#383](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/pull/383) Adds helper functions for merging and splitting middleware versions from the underlying app version.
 * (modules/core/05-port) [\#288](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/issues/288) Making the 05-port keeper function IsBound public. The IsBound function checks if the provided portID is already binded to a module.
 * (channel) [\#644](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/pull/644) Adds `GetChannelConnection` to the ChannelKeeper. This function returns the connectionID and connection state associated with a channel.
