Add release notes for OTP-18.0+
The version 18.3.4.3 is missing and seems to have had no announcement or README, I do not know why.

+ --- HIGHLIGHTS ------------------------------------------------------
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ OTP-13808 Application(s): erts, sasl
+ Related Id(s): OTP-13833
+
+ Improved dirty scheduler support. A purge of a module
+ can now be performed without having to wait for
+ completion of all ongoing dirty NIF calls.
+
+ Note that when enabling support for dirty schedulers, a
+ new purge strategy will as of ERTS version 8.1 be
+ enabled. This new strategy is not fully backwards
+ compatible with the strategy used by default. For more
+ information see the documentation of
+ erlang:check_process_code/3.

+
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ --- POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITIES -------------------------------------
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ OTP-13752 Application(s): stdlib
+
+ gen_statem has been changed to set the callback mode
+ for a server to what Module:callback_mode/0 returns.
+ This facilitates e.g code downgrade since the callback
+ mode now becomes a property of the currently active
+ code, not of the server process.
+
+ Exception handling from Module:init/1 has also been
+ improved.
+
+
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ --- asn1-4.0.4 ------------------------------------------------------
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------

+ --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
+
+ OTP-13624 Application(s): asn1
+
+ Compiling multiple ASN.1 modules in the same directory
+ with parallel make (make -j) should now be safe.

+
+ --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
+
+ OTP-13730 Application(s): common_test
+ Related Id(s): seq13135
+
+ If the telnet server would pause during transmission of
+ a line of text before terminating the line, the
+ ct_telnet:expect/3 function would print the line twice
+ in the test case HTML log. This problem has been fixed.
+
+
+ OTP-13841 Application(s): common_test
+
+ The functions ct:set_verbosity/2 and ct:get_verbosity/1
+ have been added in order to make it possible for test
+ cases, CT Hooks, or test framework functions, to modify
+ and read verbosity levels for logging.
+
+
+ OTP-13855 Application(s): common_test, tools
+
+ make (tools) and ct_make (common_test) would crash if
+ an Erlang source file contained a -warning() directive.

+ misspeling still works.
+
+
+ OTP-13789 Application(s): crypto

+ *** HIGHLIGHT ***
+
+ Improved dirty scheduler support. A purge of a module
+ can now be performed without having to wait for
+ completion of all ongoing dirty NIF calls.
+
+ Note that when enabling support for dirty schedulers, a
+ new purge strategy will as of ERTS version 8.1 be
+ enabled. This new strategy is not fully backwards
+ compatible with the strategy used by default. For more
+ information see the documentation of
+ erlang:check_process_code/3.
+
+
+ OTP-13833 Application(s): erts, sasl
+
+ A new purge strategy has been introduced. The new
+ strategy will by default be disabled during the OTP 19
+ release, but will be the only strategy available as of
+ the OTP 20 release.
+
+ The new strategy is slightly incompatible with the
+ strategy being used by default in OTP 19. Using the
+ default strategy, processes holding funs that refer to
+ the module being purged either fail a soft purge, or
+ will be killed during a hard purge. The new strategy
+ completely ignores funs. If funs referring to the code
+ being purged exist, and are used after a purge, an
+ exception will be raised upon usage. That is, the
+ behavior will be exactly the same as the case when a
+ fun is received by a process after the purge.
+
+ The new strategy can optionally be enabled when
+ building OTP during OTP 19, and will automatically be
+ enabled if the runtime system is built with support for
+ dirty schedulers.
+
+ For more information see the documentation of
+ erlang:check_process_code/3.

+ *** HIGHLIGHT ***
+
+ Improved dirty scheduler support. A purge of a module
+ can now be performed without having to wait for
+ completion of all ongoing dirty NIF calls.
+
+ Note that when enabling support for dirty schedulers, a
+ new purge strategy will as of ERTS version 8.1 be
+ enabled. This new strategy is not fully backwards
+ compatible with the strategy used by default. For more
+ information see the documentation of
+ erlang:check_process_code/3.
+
+
+ OTP-13833 Application(s): erts, sasl
+
+ A new purge strategy has been introduced. The new
+ strategy will by default be disabled during the OTP 19
+ release, but will be the only strategy available as of
+ the OTP 20 release.
+
+ The new strategy is slightly incompatible with the
+ strategy being used by default in OTP 19. Using the
+ default strategy, processes holding funs that refer to
+ the module being purged either fail a soft purge, or
+ will be killed during a hard purge. The new strategy
+ completely ignores funs. If funs referring to the code
+ being purged exist, and are used after a purge, an
+ exception will be raised upon usage. That is, the
+ behavior will be exactly the same as the case when a
+ fun is received by a process after the purge.
+
+ The new strategy can optionally be enabled when
+ building OTP during OTP 19, and will automatically be
+ enabled if the runtime system is built with support for
+ dirty schedulers.
+
+ For more information see the documentation of
+ erlang:check_process_code/3.
