 ### Features
 
 - lang: Add `get_lamports`, `add_lamports` and `sub_lamports` methods for all account types ([#2552](https://github.com/coral-xyz/anchor/pull/2552)).
+- client: Add a helper struct `DynSigner` to simplify use of `Client<C> where <C: Clone + Deref<Target = impl Signer>>` with Solana clap CLI utils that loads `Signer` as `Box<dyn Signer>` ([#2550](https://github.com/coral-xyz/anchor/pull/2550)).
