Altera CLI 0.4.18 catches up with everything the app has added over the last few months, so exports from the terminal have the same reach as exports from the app.

### What's New

- **Collections resource** - `altera export create collections` exports smart and manual collections together, with rules or product lists in the `sources` field group.
- **Inventory transfers** - the `inventory_transfers` resource is now accepted by `export create` and `ref` commands.
- **Multi-value filters** - a comma-separated value now matches any of the values, so `-f orders.status=open,closed` or `-f products.tag~=sale,clearance` work as expected.

### Improvements

- **New fields** - combined listings, WhatsApp marketing consent, order confirmation number, catalog variant ID and SKU, payout business entity, and inventory transfer metafields are available in exports.
- **New filters** - product combined listing role, page and blog post visibility, catalog title, type, and status, order shipping line title, and more.
- **Filter reference** - `altera ref filters` lists the allowed values for multi-select filters and explains multi-value syntax (see [CLI overview](../cli/cli-overview.md)).
- **Future data types** - new resource types added to the app now show up in the CLI as soon as the field data is refreshed, without a code change.
