 ### CLI Breaking Changes
 
+* (x/auth/vesting) [#18100](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/18100) `appd tx vesting create-vesting-account` takes an amount of coin as last argument instead of second. Coins are space separated.
 * (x/distribution) [#17963](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/17963) `appd tx distribution withdraw-rewards` now only withdraws rewards for the delegator's own delegations. For withdrawing validators commission, use `appd tx distribution withdraw-validator-commission`.
