The Trading Update is out now! This patch introduces a full rework of the merchant, as well as adding tool upgrades and even more merchants to buy from!

It seems like the Merchant has a newfound interest in seashells! Trade in your items for seashells at the merchant and exchange them for items, furniture, and more! Also some new Merchants seem to have arrived at the other islands...
