The most significant issue addressed in 1.18 was that when updating from
an earlier release, 1.17 could erase some of your sequence data. It was
our intent that no data would be lost in the upgrade. That has been
fixed.
One visible bug I am aware of that was fixed between 1.17 and 1.18 is
that QuickEdit knobs could not be disabled in 1.17. That has been fixed
in 1.18.
There are a few other minor changes, but I won't be able to get an
accurate listing of those for a couple of weeks - a lot of people are
gone for the holidays.
I recommend that you upgrade to 1.18. It's better ;-)
