Official release update for Shopify delivering performance improvements, maintenance fixes, and platform enhancements.
Breaking Changes & Deprecations
- Additionally, the following named dates have been deprecated: 12_months_ago, 90_days_ago, 30_days_ago, 7_days_ago. Instead, the you can use the existing date offsets in your segment queries. For example, the named date 12_months_ago is equivalent to the date offset -12m.
Detailed Release Changelog
- As of GraphQL Admin API version 2026-10, functions in the segment query language now use the operators MATCHES/NOT MATCHES instead of = true/= false. For example, the previous query shopify_email.opened() = true would now be represented as shopify_email.opened MATCHES ().
- The parameters for each function have also been expanded to use their own operators. For example, the query products_purchased(quantity: 5) = true would now be represented as products_purchased MATCHES (quantity = 5). This expands the functionality of parameters. For example, the following queries were not possible before: products_purchased MATCHES (quantity != 5), products_purchased MATCHES (quantity > 5).

Architectural Context & Staging Protocol
When evaluating new software releases for Shopify, web engineers and site administrators must assess backward compatibility, database migration overhead, and third-party extension interactions. Production deployment should always follow an isolated staging verification workflow to monitor server response times, DOM node complexity, and Core Web Vitals (including INP and LCP metrics).
