 ### Bug Fixes
 
+* (client/keys) [#24041](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/24041) `keys delete` won't terminate when a key is not found, but will log the error.
 * (baseapp) [#24027](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/24027) Ensure that `BaseApp.Init` checks that the commit multistore is set to protect against nil dereferences.
 * (x/group) [GHSA-47ww-ff84-4jrg](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/security/advisories/GHSA-47ww-ff84-4jrg) Fix x/group can halt when erroring in EndBlocker
 * (x/distribution) [#23934](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/23934) Fix vulnerability in `incrementReferenceCount` in distribution.
