Nautical Changelog

Marketplace operators can now achieve the following with length units:

• Convert different length units in the dashboard. Units that can be converted include millimeters (mm), centimeters (cm), meters (m), inches (in), feet (ft), and yards (yd).
• Retrieve the dimensions of a product via the GraphQL API. With this, dimensions can be retrieved in the marketplace's default unit when needed.
• Apply partial updates to the different variants of a product (e.g an update in the length but not the width of a product.)
