+## Features
+
+* (rpc) [\#231](https://github.com/ChainSafe/ethermint/issues/231) Implement NewBlockFilter in rpc/filters.go which instantiates a polling block filter
+	* Polls for new blocks via BlockNumber rpc call; if block number changes, it requests the new block via GetBlockByNumber rpc call and adds it to its internal list of blocks
+	* Update uninstallFilter and getFilterChanges accordingly
+	* uninstallFilter stops the polling goroutine
+	* getFilterChanges returns the filter's internal list of block hashes and resets it
