 ### Features
 
-* (x/upgrade) [\#11116](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/11116) `MsgSoftwareUpgrade` and  has been added to support v1beta2 msgs-based gov proposals.
+* [\#11441](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/11441) Added a new method, `IsLTE`, for `types.Coin`. This method is used to check if a `types.Coin` is less than or equal to another `types.Coin`.
+* (x/upgrade) [\#11116](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/11116) `MsgSoftwareUpgrade` and has been added to support v1beta2 msgs-based gov proposals.
 * [\#11308](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/11308) Added a mandatory metadata field to Vote in x/gov v1beta2.
 * [\#10977](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/10977) Now every cosmos message protobuf definition must be extended with a ``cosmos.msg.v1.signer`` option to signal the signer fields in a language agnostic way.
 * [\#10710](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/10710) Chain-id shouldn't be required for creating a transaction with both --generate-only and --offline flags.
