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.

+
+ --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
+
+ OTP-14522 Application(s): compiler
+ Related Id(s): ERIERL-48
+
+ Fail labels on guard BIFs weren't taken into account
+ during an optimization pass, and a bug in the
+ validation pass sometimes prevented this from being
+ noticed when a fault occurred.
+
+
+ OTP-14526 Application(s): compiler
+
+ When compiling from Core Erlang, an 'apply' with a
+ nested apply in the function position would be treated
+ as an invalid call. Corrected. (Thanks to Mikael
+ Pettersson for reporting this bug.)
+
+
+ OTP-14591 Application(s): compiler
+
+ Fixed checking of binary matching in the beam_validator
+ module to ensure that potential compiler bugs are found
+ at compile-time instead as emulator crash at run-time.
+
+
+ OTP-14600 Application(s): compiler, stdlib
+ Related Id(s): ERL-478
+
+ There could be false warnings for
+ erlang:get_stacktrace/0 being used outside of a try
+ block when using multiple catch clauses.
+
+
+ --- Improvements and New Features ---
+
+ OTP-14378 Application(s): compiler, stdlib
+
+ The Erlang code linter no longer checks that the
+ functions mentioned in nowarn_deprecated_function
+ options are declared in the module.
+
+
+ Full runtime dependencies of compiler-7.1.2: crypto-3.6, erts-9.0,
+ hipe-3.12, kernel-4.0, stdlib-2.5

+
+ --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
+
+ OTP-14499 Application(s): crypto, erts
+ Related Id(s): ERL-251, ERL-439
+
+ On macOS, crypto would crash if observer had been
+ started before crypto. On the beta for macOS 10.13
+ (High Sierra), crypto would crash. Both of those bugs
+ have been fixed.
+
+
+ --- Improvements and New Features ---
+
+ OTP-13704 Application(s): crypto, public_key
+ Related Id(s): PR838
+
+ Extend crypto:sign, crypto:verify, public_key:sign and
+ public_key:verify with:
+
+ * support for RSASSA-PS padding for signatures and for
+ saltlength setting
+ * X9.31 RSA padding.
+ * sha, sha224, sha256, sha384, and sha512 for dss

+ applications on a full OTP 20 installation.
+
+ --- Improvements and New Features ---
+
+ OTP-14464 Application(s): debugger, edoc, et, eunit, observer,

+
+
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ --- dialyzer-3.2.2 --------------------------------------------------
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ Note! The dialyzer-3.2.2 application can *not* be applied
+ independently of other applications on an arbitrary OTP 20
+ installation.
+
+ On a full OTP 20 installation, also the following runtime
+ dependency has to be satisfied:
+ -- hipe-3.16.1 (first satisfied in OTP 20.1)
+
+
+ --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
+
+ OTP-14572 Application(s): dialyzer, hipe
+ Related Id(s): seq13319
+
+ Fix a bug regarding map types that caused Dialyzer to
+ go into an infinite loop. A consequence of the fix is
+ that compound map keys such as maps and tuples
+ sometimes are handled with less precision than before.
+

+
+ General Unicode improvements.
+

+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ --- diameter-2.1 ----------------------------------------------------
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ The diameter-2.1 application can be applied independently of other
+ applications on a full OTP 20 installation.
+
+ --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
+
+ OTP-14011 Application(s): diameter
+
+ React to nodeup/nodedown when sharing peer connections.
+
+ Service configuration share_peers and use_shared_peers
+ did not respond to the coming and going of remote
+ nodes.
+
+
+ OTP-14486 Application(s): diameter
+
+ Fix inappropriate message callbacks.
+
+ An incoming CER or DPR was regarded as discarded,
+ resulting in a corresponding message callback (if
+ configured) in diameter_tcp/sctp.
+
+
+ OTP-14512 Application(s): diameter
+
+ Fix handling of 5009 errors
+ (DIAMETER_AVP_OCCURS_TOO_MANY TIMES).
+
+ RFC 6733 says that the first AVP that exceeds the bound
+ should be reported, but the suggestions in the errors
+ field of a diameter_packet record counted AVPs from the
+ rear of the message, not the front. Additionally,
+ diameter 2.0 in OTP 20.0 broke the counting by
+ accepting one more AVP than the message grammar in
+ question allowed.
+
+
+ OTP-14535 Application(s): diameter
+ Related Id(s): OTP-13006
+
+ Match case insensitively in diameter_tcp/sctp accept
+ tuple.
+
+ Matching of remote addresses when accepting connections
+ in a listening transport was case-sensitive, causing
+ the semantics to change as a consequence of (kernel)
+ OTP-13006.
+
+
+ OTP-14552 Application(s): diameter
+
+ Fix backwards incompatibility of remote send when
+ sharing transports.
+
+ The sending of requests over a transport connection on
+ a remote node running an older version of diameter was
+ broken by diameter 2.0 in OTP 20.0.
+
+
+ OTP-14607 Application(s): diameter
+
+ Fix diameter_packet.avps decode of Grouped AVP errors
+ in Failed-AVP.
+
+ Decode didn't produce a list of diameter_avp records,
+ so information about faulty component AVPs was lost.
+
+
+ OTP-9869 Application(s): diameter
+
+ Fix handling of Proxy-Info in answer messages setting
+ the E-bit.
+
+ RFC 6733 requires that Proxy-Info AVPs in an incoming
+ request be echoed in an outgoing answer. This was not
+ done in answers formulated by diameter; for example, as
+ a result of a handle_request callback having returned
+ an 'answer-message' or protocol_error tuple.
+
+
+ --- Improvements and New Features ---
+
+ OTP-10889 Application(s): diameter
+
+ Let unordered delivery be configured in diameter_sctp.
+
+ With option {unordered, boolean() | pos_integer()},
+ with false the default, and N equivalent to OS =< N,
+ where OS is the number of outbound streams negotiated
+ on the association in question. If configured,
+ unordered sending commences upon reception of a second
+ message, outgoing messages being sent on stream 0
+ before this.
+
+ The default false is for backwards compatibility, but
+ false or 1 should be set to follow RFC 6733's
+ recommendation on the use of unordered sending to avoid
+ head-of-line blocking. There is typically no meaningful
+ order to preserve, since the order in which outgoing
+ messages are received by a transport process isn't
+ known to the sender.
+
+
+ OTP-10927 Application(s): diameter
+
+ Complete/simplify Standards Compliance in User's Guide.
+
+
+ OTP-14511 Application(s): diameter
+ Related Id(s): OTP-14343
+
+ Add service option decode_format.
+
+ To allow incoming messages to be decoded into maps or
+ lists instead of records. Messages can be presented in
+ any of the formats for encode.
+
+ Decode performance has also been improved.
+
+
+ OTP-14521 Application(s): diameter
+
+ Add service option traffic_counters.
+
+ To let message-related counters be disabled, which can
+ be a performance improvement in some usecases.
+
+
+ OTP-14544 Application(s): diameter
+
+ Allow loopback/any as local addresses in
+ diameter_tcp/sctp.
+
+ The atoms were implied by documentation, but not
+ handled in code.
+
+
+ OTP-14546 Application(s): diameter
+
+ Add transport option strict_capx.
+
+ To allow the RFC 6733 requirement that a transport
+ connection be closed if a message is received before
+ capabilities exchange to be relaxed.
+
+
+ OTP-14555 Application(s): diameter
+
+ Be consistent with service/transport configuration.
+
+ For options for which it's meaningful, defaults values
+ for transport options can now be configured on a
+ service. This was previously the case only for an
+ arbitrary subset of options.
+
+
+ OTP-14588 Application(s): diameter
+
+ Add service/transport option avp_dictionaries.
+
+ To provide better support for AVPs that are not defined
+ in the application dictionary: configuring additional
+ dictionaries in an avp_dictionaries tuple allows their
+ AVPs to be encoded/decoded in much the same fashion as
+ application AVPs.
+
+ The motivation is RFC 7683 Diameter Overload, Indicator
+ Conveyance (DOIC), that defines AVPs intended to be
+ piggybacked onto arbitrary messages. A DOIC dictionary
+ has been included in the installation, in module
+ diameter_gen_doic_rfc7683.
+
+
+ OTP-14596 Application(s): diameter
+
+ Decode application AVPs in answers setting the E-bit.
+
+ AVPs defined in the application of the message being
+ sent were previously not decoded, only those in the
+ common application that defines the answer-message
+ grammar.
