 ### API Breaking
 
-* [\#6644](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/pull/6644) api!: add `v2.MerklePath` for contract api `VerifyMembershipMsg` and `VerifyNonMembershipMsg` structs. Note, this requires a migration for existing client contracts to correctly handle deserialization of `MerklePath.KeyPath` which has changed from `repeated string` to `repeated bytes`. In JSON message structures this change is reflected as the `KeyPath` being a marshalled as a list of base64 encoded byte strings. 
 * [\#6937](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/pull/6937) Remove `WasmConsensusHost` implementation of the `ConsensusHost` interface.
