We now have all the installers so it is just the announcement and
update on the web site that is lacking.

There are two additional fixes on that branch post 1.18:

 https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/305006 - shelve locking on Windows
 https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/415508 - content filtering
breaks commit of merges

The second, at least, is pretty important, and could be worthwhile for
people who don't want to transition to 2.0 yet.

I don't really relish doing a new RC cycle for this, but we could

 * announce 1.18
 * tag 1.18.1 and make a source tarball for it
 * when installers of that have been built, announce 1.18.1
