 ### Improvements
 
 * (tendermint) Bump Tendermint version to [v0.32.8](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/releases/tag/v0.32.8)
+* (cli) [\#5482](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/5482) Remove old "tags" nomenclature from the `q txs` command in
+  favor of the new events system. Functionality remains unchanged except that `=` is used instead of `:` to be
+  consistent with the API's use of event queries.

+## Pre-Requisite Readings

+- [Anatomy of an SDK application](../basics/app-anatomy.md)
+
+## Events
+
+Events are implemented in the Cosmos SDK as an alias of the ABCI `Event` type and
+take the form of: `{eventType}.{eventAttribute}={value}`.
+
+Events contain:
+
+- A `type`, which is meant to categorize an event at a high-level (e.g. by module or action).
+- A list of `attributes`, which are key-value pairs that give more information about
+  the categorized `event`.
+
+Events are returned to the underlying consensus engine in the response of the following ABCI messages:
+
+- [`BeginBlock`](./baseapp.md#beginblock)
+- [`EndBlock`](./baseapp.md#endblock)
+- [`CheckTx`](./baseapp.md#checktx)
+- [`DeliverTx`](./baseapp.md#delivertx)
+
+Events, the `type` and `attributes`, are defined on a **per-module basis** in the module's
+`/internal/types/events.go` file, and triggered from the module's [`handler`](../building-modules/handler.md)
+via the [`EventManager`](#eventmanager). In addition, each module documents its events under
+`spec/xx_events.md`.
+
+## EventManager
+
+In Cosmos SDK applications, events are managed by an abstraction called the `EventManager`.
+Internally, the `EventManager` tracks a list of `Events` for the entire execution flow of a
+transaction or `BeginBlock`/`EndBlock`.
+
++++ https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/blob/7d7821b9af132b0f6131640195326aa02b6751db/types/events.go#L16-L20
+
+The `EventManager` comes with a set of useful methods to manage events. Among them, the one that is
+used the most by module and application developers is the `EmitEvent` method, which tracks
+an `event` in the `EventManager`.
+
++++ https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/blob/7d7821b9af132b0f6131640195326aa02b6751db/types/events.go#L29-L31
+
+Module developers should handle event emission via the `EventManager#EmitEvent` in each message
+`Handler` and in each `BeginBlock`/`EndBlock` handler. The `EventManager` is accessed via
+the [`Context`](./context.md), where event emission generally follows this pattern:
+
+```go
+ctx.EventManager().EmitEvent(
+    sdk.NewEvent(eventType, sdk.NewAttribute(attributeKey, attributeValue)),
+)
+```
+
+See the [`Handler`](../building-modules/handler.md) concept doc for a more detailed
+view on how to typically implement `Events` and use the `EventManager` in modules.
+
+## Subscribing to Events
+
+It is possible to subscribe to `Events` via Tendermint's [Websocket](https://tendermint.com/docs/app-dev/subscribing-to-events-via-websocket.html#subscribing-to-events-via-websocket).
+This is done by calling the `subscribe` RPC method via Websocket:
+
+```json
+{
+    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
+    "method": "subscribe",
+    "id": "0",
+    "params": {
+        "query": "tm.event='eventCategory' AND eventType.eventAttribute='attributeValue'"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The main `eventCategory` you can subscribe to are:
+
+- `NewBlock`: Contains `events` triggered during `BeginBlock` and `EndBlock`.
+- `Tx`: Contains `events` triggered during `DeliverTx` (i.e. transaction processing).
+- `ValidatorSetUpdates`: Contains validator set updates for the block.
+
+These events are triggered from the `state` package after a block is committed. You can get the
+full list of `event` categories [here](https://godoc.org/github.com/tendermint/tendermint/types#pkg-constants).
+
+The `type` and `attribute` value of the `query` allow you to filter the specific `event` you are looking for. For example, a `transfer` transaction triggers an `event` of type `Transfer` and has `Recipient` and `Sender` as `attributes` (as defined in the [`events` file of the `bank` module](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/blob/master/x/bank/internal/types/events.go)). Subscribing to this `event` would be done like so:
+
+```json
+{
+    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
+    "method": "subscribe",
+    "id": "0",
+    "params": {
+        "query": "tm.event='Tx' AND transfer.sender='senderAddress'"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+where `senderAddress` is an address following the [`AccAddress`](../basics/accounts.md#addresses) format.
