@@ -30,11 +30,13 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0
   - Also replaces `Experimental.accountUpdateFromCallback()`
 - `Circuit.log()` to easily log Fields and other provable types inside a method, with the same API as `console.log()`
 - `AccountUpdate.attachToTransaction()` for explicitly adding an account update to the current transaction. This replaces some previous behaviour where an account update got attached implicitly.
+-
 
 ### Changed
 
 - BREAKING CHANGE: `tx.send()` is now asynchronous: old: `send(): TransactionId` new: `send(): Promise<TransactionId>` and `tx.send()` now directly waits for the network response, as opposed to `tx.send().wait()`
 - `Circuit.witness` can now be called outside circuits, where it will just directly return the callback result
+- The `FeePayerSpec`, which is used to specify properties of the transaction via `Mina.transaction()`, now has another optional parameter to specify the nonce manually. `Mina.transaction({ feePayerKey: feePayer, nonce: 1 }, () => {})`
 - BREAKING CHANGE: Static methods of type `.fromString()`, `.fromNumber()` and `.fromBigInt()` on `Field`, `UInt64`, `UInt32` and `Int64` are not longer supported.
 
 ### Deprecated
