v3.0.0-rc0

This release includes v1 of the Interchain Accounts application module. 🍾

This is the first major feature addition since the v1.0.0 release of ibc-go. 👏

Kudos to everyone that has contributed to this feature on protocol design, implementation, testing and auditing. 🙏

Shout-out to the team at Chainapsis for the brilliant work that kick-started everything. 🌟

And last but not least, we want to thank @seantking for leading the efforts to bring all this to fruition.🥇

At a high level, when comparing to v3.0.0-beta1 this release:

• adds a `ChannelId` field to `MsgChannelOpenInitResponse`

• changes the type of `acknowledgement` parameter in `WriteAcknowledgement` to be `exported.Acknowledgement` instead of a byte array

• adds several improvements to the testing package

• bumps Cosmos SDK version to 0.45.1.

Please see the CHANGELOG for the full set of changes included in this release.

Please read the migration doc , which provides information on updating from v2 to v3.
