See Github release for full changelog:  https://github.com/Part-DB/Part-DB-server/releases/tag/v1.9.0

## Update existing parts
Using the blue button in the tools tab on a part info page, you can update part info from an info provider. This means you can pull datasheets, price infos and more from digikey, octopart and more for existing parts.
You still needs to review and manually choose what infos you wanna keep

## Merge parts
You can now merge two parts together: If you have created two versions of the same part by accident, then you can now merge the two versions of the part into a single one. All information like datasheets, partLots, etc. are combined.

## Blue dot on newly created collection items
Newly created items of a collection, which were not persisted to database yet, are marked with a blue dot on the delete item:

This is especially useful when merging parts together or update parts from info providers. 

## Part Associations
You can now associate part with each other. This can for example be used to denote alternative/compatible parts, or what part replaces an obsolete part.
