+
+The Apache Arrow team is pleased to announce the v18.0.0 release of
+Apache Arrow Go. This release covers 35 resolved issues from
+11 contributors.
+
+## Release Highlights
+
+### Move to new Repository
+
+The Apache Arrow Go implementation has been shifted out of the Arrow monorepo
+and to its own repository now located at https://github.com/apache/arrow-go.
+This will enable fewer major version releases and facilitate more minor
+version/patch releases instead as it will detach the version number from the
+Arrow C++ and other implementations in the monorepo.
+
+Current users of Arrow Go will want to carefully note the breaking change to
+module paths this move causes. To upgrade to Arrow Go v18.0.0, ensure you
+properly update all relevant module paths in your `go.mod`, replacing all
+instances of `github.com/apache/arrow/go/` with `github.com/apache/arrow-go`.
+
+Existing Go related issues have been moved to the new repository and please
file
+any new issues on the new repository instead of the Arrow monorepo.
+
+### Go Version
+
+With this release, the minimum Go version is now 1.22.
+
+### Arrow
+
+#### Canonical Extension Types

[`extensions`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/apache/arrow-go/[email protected]/arrow/extensions)

[GH-120](https://github.com/apache/arrow-go/issues/120)
+* Added `is_null`, `is_not_null` and `is_nan` function kernels to the
`compute` package [GH-134](https://github.com/apache/arrow-go/issues/134)

+
+* Fixed an inconsistency in `ValueOffset` between String and Binary Arrays
[GH-41](https://github.com/apache/arrow-go/issues/41)
