Contributions summary:Stefan primarily contributed to the carto library by adding support for different units of measurement (m, mm, cm, pt, pc) and percent values within the stylesheet processing engine. They implemented the conversion of these units to pixels, utilizing a DPI/PPI setting, and corrected a regression bug. Additionally, the user modified the rendering process to prevent the overwriting of the maximum-extent parameter and replaced instances of "dpi" with "ppi" in the codebase.
