This version mitigates a memory leak in tendermint that was found prior to launching kava-3. It is fully compatible with v0.8.0 and is intended to replace that version as the canonical software version for upgrading the Kava mainnet from kava-2 to kava-3. Note that there are no breaking changes between the versions, but a safety check was added to this version to prevent starting the node with an unsafe configuration.
The default tendermint pruning strategy, `pruning="syncable"` is currently unsafe due to a [memory leak](https://github.com/tendermint/iavl/issues/256) that can cause irrecoverable data loss. This patch release prevents `kvd` from being started with the `pruning="syncable"` configuration. Until a patch for tendermint is released, the ONLY pruning strategies that are safe to run are `everything` (an archival node) or `nothing` (only the most recent state is kept). It is strongly recommended that validators use `pruning="nothing"` for kava-3. It is expected that a patch to tendermint will be released in a non-breaking manner and that nodes will be able to update seamlessly after the launch of kava-3.
The steps for upgrading to kava-3 can be found [here](https://github.com/Kava-Labs/kava/blob/master/contrib/kava-3/migration.md). Please note the additional section on [pruning](https://github.com/Kava-Labs/kava/blob/master/contrib/kava-3/migration.md#Pruning).
This version is intended to be the canonical software version for upgrading the Kava mainnet from kava-2 to kava-3. As a result, no subsequent versions of Kava will be released until kava-3 launches unless necessary due to critical state-machine faults that require a new version to launch successfully.

### State Machine Breaking Changes
(sdk) Update Cosmos-SDK version to v0.38.4. To review cosmos-sdk changes, see the [changelog](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/blob/v0.38.4/CHANGELOG.md).
Bump tendermint version to 0.32.10 to address [cosmos security advisory Lavender](https://forum.cosmos.network/t/cosmos-mainnet-security-advisory-lavender/3511)
[\#266](https://github.com/Kava-Labs/kava/pulls/266) Bump tendermint version to 0.32.7 to address cosmos security advisory [Periwinkle](https://forum.cosmos.network/t/cosmos-mainnet-security-advisory-periwinkle/2911)
[\#253](https://github.com/Kava-Labs/kava/pulls/253) Add a new validator vesting account type, which releases coins on a periodic vesting schedule based on if a specific validator signed sufficient pre-commits. If the validator didn't sign enough pre-commits, the vesting coins are burned or sent to a return address.
