-  <strong>
-    Go 1.18 is not yet released. These are work-in-progress
-    release notes. Go 1.18 is expected to be released in March 2022.
-  </strong>
+  The latest Go release, version 1.18,
+  is a significant release, including changes to the language,
+  implementation of the toolchain, runtime, and libraries.
+  Go 1.18 arrives seven months after <a href="/doc/go1.17">Go 1.17</a>.
+  As always, the release maintains the Go 1 <a href="/doc/go1compat">promise of compatibility</a>.
+  We expect almost all Go programs to continue to compile and run as before.
