 * (x/upgrade) [\#8743](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/8743) `UpgradeHandler` includes a new argument `VersionMap` which helps facilitate in-place migrations.
 * (x/auth) [\#8129](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/8828) Updated `SigVerifiableTx.GetPubKeys` method signature to return error.
 * [\#8682](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/8682) `ante.NewAnteHandler` updated to receive all positional params as `ante.HandlerOptions` struct. If required fields aren't set, throws error accordingly.
+* (client) [\#8926](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/8926) `client/tx.PrepareFactory` has been converted to a private function, as it's only used internally.
+* (auth/tx) [\#8926](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/8926) The `ProtoTxProvider` interface used as a workaround for transaction simulation has been removed.

 ## [v0.42.0](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/releases/tag/v0.42.0) - 2021-03-08
 
 **IMPORTANT**: This release contains an important security fix for all non Cosmos Hub chains running Stargate version of the Cosmos SDK (>0.40). Non-hub chains should not be using any version of the SDK in the v0.40.x or v0.41.x release series. See [#8461](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/8461) for more details.
