### FEATURES

- [rpc] [\#7270](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/pull/7270) Add `header` and `header_by_hash` RPC Client queries. (@fedekunze)
- [rpc] [\#7701] Add `ApplicationInfo` to `status` rpc call which contains the application version. (@jonasbostoen)

- [consensus] \#7376 Update the proposal logic per the Propose-based timestamps specification so that the proposer will wait for the previous block time to occur before proposing the next block. (@williambanfield)
- [consensus] \#7391 Use the proposed block timestamp as the proposal timestamp. Update the block validation logic to ensure that the proposed block's timestamp matches the timestamp in the proposal message. (@williambanfield)

- [evidence] \#7700 Evidence messages contain single Evidence instead of EvidenceList (@jmalicevic)

- [node] \#7521 Define concrete type for seed node implementation (@spacech1mp)
- [rpc] \#7612 paginate mempool /unconfirmed_txs rpc endpoint (@spacech1mp)
