 ### Bug Fixes
 
+* (baseapp) [#17251](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/17251) VerifyVoteExtensions and ExtendVote initialize their own contexts/states, allowing VerifyVoteExtensions being called without ExtendVote.
 * (x/auth) [#17209](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/17209) Internal error on AccountInfo when account's public key is not set.
 * (baseapp) [#17159](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/17159) Validators can propose blocks that exceed the gas limit.
 * (x/group) [#17146](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/17146) Rename x/group legacy ORM package's error codespace from "orm" to "legacy_orm", preventing collisions with ORM's error codespace "orm".
