 ### Improvements
 
+* [#12668](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/12668) Add `authz_msg_index` event attribute to message events emitted when executing via `MsgExec` through `x/authz`.
 * [#12634](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/12634) Move `sdk.Dec` to math package.
 * [#12596](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/12596) Remove all imports of the non-existent gogo/protobuf v1.3.3 to ease downstream use and go workspaces. 
 * [#12589](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/12589) Allow zero gas in simulation mode.
