 ### API Breaking Changes
 
+* (x/mint) [\#10441](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/10441) The `NewAppModule` function now accepts an inflation calculation function as an argument.
 * [\#10295](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/10295) Remove store type aliases from /types
 * [\#9695](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/9695) Migrate keys from `Info` -> `Record`
   * Add new `codec.Codec` argument in:
