 # Changelog
 
+## v0.26.3
+
+*November 17th, 2018*
+
+Special thanks to external contributors on this release:
+@danil-lashin, @kevlubkcm, @krhubert, @srmo
+
+Friendly reminder, we have a [bug bounty
+program](https://hackerone.com/tendermint).
+
+### BREAKING CHANGES:
+
+* Go API
+  - [rpc] [\#2791](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/2791) Functions that start HTTP servers are now blocking:
+    - Impacts `StartHTTPServer`, `StartHTTPAndTLSServer`, and `StartGRPCServer`
+    - These functions now take a `net.Listener` instead of an address
+  - [rpc] [\#2767](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/2767) Subscribing to events
+  `NewRound` and `CompleteProposal` return new types `EventDataNewRound` and
+  `EventDataCompleteProposal`, respectively, instead of the generic `EventDataRoundState`. (@kevlubkcm)
+
+### FEATURES:
+
+- [log] [\#2843](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/2843) New `log_format` config option, which can be set to 'plain' for colored
+  text or 'json' for JSON output
+- [types] [\#2767](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/2767) New event types EventDataNewRound (with ProposerInfo) and EventDataCompleteProposal (with BlockID). (@kevlubkcm)
+
+### IMPROVEMENTS:
+
+- [dep] [\#2844](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/2844) Dependencies are no longer pinned to an exact version in the
+  Gopkg.toml:
+  - Serialization libs are allowed to vary by patch release
+  - Other libs are allowed to vary by minor release
+- [p2p] [\#2857](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/2857) "Send failed" is logged at debug level instead of error.
+- [rpc] [\#2780](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/2780) Add read and write timeouts to HTTP servers
+- [state] [\#2848](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/2848) Make "Update to validators" msg value pretty (@danil-lashin)
+
+### BUG FIXES:
+- [consensus] [\#2819](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/2819) Don't send proposalHearbeat if not a validator
+- [docs] [\#2859](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/2859) Fix ConsensusParams details in spec
+- [libs/autofile] [\#2760](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/2760) Comment out autofile permissions check - should fix
+  running Tendermint on Windows
+- [p2p] [\#2869](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/2869) Set connection config properly instead of always using default
+- [p2p/pex] [\#2802](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/2802) Seed mode fixes:
+  - Only disconnect from inbound peers
+  - Use FlushStop instead of Sleep to ensure all messages are sent before
+    disconnecting

 ## Changelog
 
+Every fix, improvement, feature, or breaking change should be made in a
+pull-request that includes an update to the `CHANGELOG_PENDING.md` file.
+
+Changelog entries should be formatted as follows:
+
+```
+- [module] \#xxx Some description about the change (@contributor)
+```
+
+Here, `module` is the part of the code that changed (typically a
+top-level Go package), `xxx` is the pull-request number, and `contributor`
+is the author/s of the change.
+
+It's also acceptable for `xxx` to refer to the relevent issue number, but pull-request
+numbers are preferred.
+Note this means pull-requests should be opened first so the changelog can then
+be updated with the pull-request's number.
+There is no need to include the full link, as this will be added
+automatically during release. But please include the backslash and pound, eg. `\#2313`.
+
+Changelog entries should be ordered alphabetically according to the
+`module`, and numerically according to the pull-request number.
+
+Changes with multiple classifications should be doubly included (eg. a bug fix
+that is also a breaking change should be recorded under both).
+
+Breaking changes are further subdivided according to the APIs/users they impact.
+Any change that effects multiple APIs/users should be recorded multiply - for
+instance, a change to the `Blockchain Protocol` that removes a field from the
+header should also be recorded under `CLI/RPC/Config` since the field will be
+removed from the header in rpc responses as well.
