 ## [v0.41.3](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/releases/tag/v0.41.3) - 2021-02-18
 
+**IMPORTANT:** Due to a bug in the `v0.41.x` series with how evidence handles validator consensus addresses (#8461), SDK based chains that are not using the default bech32 prefix (`cosmos`, aka all chains except for the Cosmos Hub) **should not** use this release or any release in the `v0.41.x` series. Please see #8668 for tracking & timeline for the v0.42.0 release, which will include a fix for this issue.
