 * Gaia CLI  (`gaiacli`)
     * [x/stake] Validator.Owner renamed to Validator.Operator
     * [cli] unsafe_reset_all, show_validator, and show_node_id have been renamed to unsafe-reset-all, show-validator, and show-node-id
+    * [cli] \#1983 --print-response now defaults to true in commands that create and send a transaction
+    * [cli] \#1983 you can now pass --pubkey or --address to gaiacli keys show to return a plaintext representation of the key's address or public key for use with other commands
     * [cli] \#2061 changed proposalID in governance REST endpoints to proposal-id
     * [cli] \#2014 `gaiacli advanced` no longer exists - to access `ibc`, `rest-server`, and `validator-set` commands use `gaiacli ibc`, `gaiacli rest-server`, and `gaiacli tendermint`, respectively

 * Gaia
     * Make the transient store key use a distinct store key. [#2013](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/2013)
     * [x/stake] \#1901 Validator type's Owner field renamed to Operator; Validator's GetOwner() renamed accordingly to comply with the SDK's Validator interface.
