  * `ERC1155`: Add a `_afterTokenTransfer` hook for improved extensibility. ([#3166](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/pull/3166))
  * `DoubleEndedQueue`: a new data structure that supports efficient push and pop to both front and back, useful for FIFO and LIFO queues. ([#3153](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/pull/3153))
  * `Governor`: improved security of `onlyGovernance` modifier when using an external executor contract (e.g. a timelock) that can operate without necessarily going through the governance protocol. ([#3147](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/pull/3147))
+ * `Governor`: Add a way to parameterize votes. This can be used to implement voting systems such as fractionalized voting, ERC721 based voting, or any number of other systems. The `params` argument added to `_countVote` method, and included in the newly added `_getVotes` method, can be used by counting and voting modules respectively for such purposes.
+
+### Breaking changes
+
+* `Governor`: Adds internal virtual `_getVotes` method that must be implemented; this is a breaking change for existing concrete extensions to `Governor`. To fix this on an existing voting module extension, rename `getVotes` to `_getVotes` and add a `bytes memory` argument. ([#3043](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/pull/3043))
+* `Governor`: Adds `params` parameter to internal virtual `_countVote ` method; this is a breaking change for existing concrete extensions to `Governor`. To fix this on an existing counting module extension, add a `bytes memory` argument to `_countVote`. ([#3043](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/pull/3043))
+* `Governor`: Does not emit `VoteCast` event when params data is non-empty; instead emits `VoteCastWithParams` event. To fix this on an integration that consumes the `VoteCast` event, also fetch/monitor `VoteCastWithParams` events. ([#3043](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/pull/3043))
