## PR
This PR introduces a fundamental breaking change to the structure of ABCI response and tx tags and the way they're processed. Namely, the SDK can support more complex and aggregated events for distribution and slashing. In addition, block responses can include duplicate keys in events.
Implement new Event type. An event has a type and a list of KV pairs (ie. list-of-lists). Typical events may look like:
"rewards": [{"amount": "5000uatom", "validator": "...", "recipient": "..."}]
"sender": [{"address": "...", "balance": "100uatom"}]
The events are indexed by {even.type}.{even.attribute[i].key}/.... In this case a client would subscribe or query for rewards.recipient='...'
ABCI response types and related types now include Events []Event instead of Tags []cmn.KVPair.
PubSub logic now publishes/matches against map[string][]string instead of map[string]string to support duplicate keys in response events (from #1385). A match is successful if the value is found in the slice of strings.

Tendermint
Byzantine-Fault Tolerant State Machines. Or Blockchain, for short.
| Branch | Tests | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| master |  |

| develop |  |
 |
Tendermint Core is Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) middleware that takes a state transition machine - written in any programming language - and securely replicates it on many machines.
For protocol details, see the specification.
For detailed analysis of the consensus protocol, including safety and liveness proofs, see our recent paper, "The latest gossip on BFT consensus".
A Note on Production Readiness
While Tendermint is being used in production in private, permissioned environments, we are still working actively to harden and audit it in preparation for use in public blockchains, such as the Cosmos Network. We are also still making breaking changes to the protocol and the APIs. Thus, we tag the releases as alpha software.
In any case, if you intend to run Tendermint in production, please contact us and join the chat.

Versioning
Semantic Versioning
Tendermint uses Semantic Versioning to determine when and how the version changes. According to SemVer, anything in the public API can change at any time before version 1.0.0
To provide some stability to Tendermint users in these 0.X.X days, the MINOR version is used to signal breaking changes across a subset of the total public API. This subset includes all interfaces exposed to other processes (cli, rpc, p2p, etc.), but does not include the in-process Go APIs.
That said, breaking changes in the following packages will be documented in the CHANGELOG even if they don't lead to MINOR version bumps:
- crypto
- types
- rpc/client
- config
- node
- libs
- bech32
- common
- db
- errors
- log
Exported objects in these packages that are not covered by the versioning scheme
are explicitly marked by // UNSTABLE in their go doc comment and may change at any
time without notice. Functions, types, and values in any other package may also change at any time.
Upgrades
In an effort to avoid accumulating technical debt prior to 1.0.0, we do not guarantee that breaking changes (ie. bumps in the MINOR version) will work with existing tendermint blockchains. In these cases you will have to start a new blockchain, or write something custom to get the old data into the new chain.
However, any bump in the PATCH version should be compatible with existing histories (if not please open an issue).
For more information on upgrading, see UPGRADING.md
