Release and roadmap notes available on the [WooCommerce Developers Blog](https://woocommerce.wordpress.com/2019/01/15/woocommerce-blocks-1-3-0-release-notes/)
- Feature: Add focal point picker to the Featured Product block, so you can adjust the background image position (only available on WP 5.2+ or with Gutenberg plugin).
- Fix: Improved fetching products from API, so searching for products in Featured Product & Hand-picked Products is faster for stores with over 200 products.
- Fix: It might be possible to request over 100 products for the editor preview, but this would cause an API error - we now limit the preview request to 100 products.
- Build: Update build script to show visual progress indicator.
- Fix: Fix warnings about blocks already being registered.
- Fix: Fix a conflict with WooCommerce 3.6 and WooCommerce Blocks 1.4 (this change only applies to the version of blocks bundled with WooCommerce core).
- Fix: A CSS conflict was causing the core columns style to reset, this has been fixed and columns will display as expected now.
- Fix: A version conflict with a JS package was causing the blocks to be broken in non-English locales. The package was updated.
