+
+[[rn_1.18.1_fixed_issues]]
+== Fixed Issues
+
+* The Kudu Java dependencies published in compileUnshaded dependency scope are
no longer marked
+ optional (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-3677[KUDU-3677]).
+* Kudu CLI tools no longer crash on exit, as the global state of the OpenSSL
library is
+ cleaned up explicitly (see
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-3635[KUDU-3635]).
+
+[[rn_1.18.1_improvements]]
+== Optimizations and improvements
+
+* Kudu's embedded webserver now supports setting the minimum required TLS
version up to TLSv1.3.
+* It is now possible to control TLSv1.3-specific cipher suites used by Kudu's
embedded webserver
+ via the newly introduced --webserver_tls_ciphersuites flag.
+* Upgraded the Apache Spark dependency from 3.2.4 to 3.5.
