 * (client) [#21436](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/21436) Use `address.Codec` from client.Context in `tx.Sign`.
 
+### Deprecated

+* (types) [#21435](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/21435) The `String()` method on `AccAddress`, `ValAddress` and `ConsAddress` have been deprecated. This is done because those are still using the deprecated global `sdk.Config`. Use an `address.Codec` instead.
