| 10 | +We are pleased to announce the release of Scala.js 1.18.2! |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +This is mostly a hotfix release for a binary incompatibility present in 1.18.0 and 1.18.1 and affecting some libraries built with Scala.js < 1.11. |
| 13 | +It also upgrades the Scala standard library to versions 2.12.20 and 2.13.16. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +Read on for more details. |

| 19 | +## Getting started |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +If you are new to Scala.js, head over to [the tutorial]({{ BASE_PATH }}/tutorial/). |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +If you need help with anything related to Scala.js, you may find our community [in `#scala-js` on Discord](https://discord.com/invite/scala) and [on Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/scala.js). |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +Bug reports can be filed [on GitHub](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues). |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +## Release notes |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +If upgrading from Scala.js 0.6.x, make sure to read [the release notes of Scala.js 1.0.0]({{ BASE_PATH }}/news/2020/02/25/announcing-scalajs-1.0.0/) first, as they contain a host of important information, including breaking changes. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +This is a **patch** release: |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +* It is backward binary compatible with all earlier versions in the 1.x series: libraries compiled with 1.0.x through 1.18.1 can be used with 1.18.2 without change. |
| 34 | +* It is forward binary compatible with 1.18.0 and 1.18.1: libraries compiled with 1.18.2 can be used with previous 1.18.x versions without change. |
| 35 | +* It is backward source compatible with 1.18.0 and 1.18.1: source code that used to compile with previous 1.18.x versions should compile as is when upgrading to 1.18.2. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +In addition, like Scala.js 1.18.0 and 1.18.1: |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +* It is *not* forward binary compatible with 1.17.x: libraries compiled with 1.18.2 cannot be used with 1.17.x or earlier. |
| 40 | +* It is *not* entirely backward source compatible with 1.17.x: it is not guaranteed that a codebase will compile *as is* when upgrading from 1.17.x or earlier (in particular in the presence of `-Xfatal-warnings`). |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +As a reminder, libraries compiled with 0.6.x cannot be used with Scala.js 1.x; they must be republished with 1.x first. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +## Bug fixes |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +The following bugs were fixed in 1.18.2: |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +* [#5115](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues/5115) fullLinkJS: Missing StoreModule right after the super constructor call |
| 49 | +* [#5112](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues/5112) "Found unknown label apply" crash during compilation with Scala 2.13.16 |
