Full release notes can be found at:

  https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/1.18/

Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will be provided
shortly.

Release tarballs can be downloaded directly from the links in the
attachment.

Please note that there was a last-second naming change in some
recently-added video utility API, so 1.18.0 is not fully API/ABI
compatible to the previous 1.17.90 rc1 release. This only affected API
that had not been in any stable release yet, however.

Enjoy!
