Release 2.18.0

[jrbourbeau]

If there are no objections, I'd like to do a release for dask and distributed later today

Woot. I believe that there is a significant-ish issue around pickle-5 currently being worked on in dask/distributed#3639 <https://github.com/dask/distributed/pull/3639/files> that we may want to be aware of for this release.

Yeah I'd prefer we hold off until that fix lands. Sorry for the delay.

We could also release now and then do a micro release after that fix gets in if it's going to take a while. @jakirkham do you have a sense for how long it will take?

No problem, I'll wait until that PR is merged

[jakirkham]

It sounded like the goal was to release later in the day anyways. So I doubt this holds things up much.

The fix has already been tried by two people with the issue and confirmed to fix it. There is a test covering it as well. Mostly Martin and I were going through a finer detail review.

PR ( dask/distributed#3639 ) is in. Should be good to go. Sorry again for the hold up.

[jakirkham]

Also happy to help here per usual 🙂

[jrbourbeau]

Closing as dask and distributed 2.18.0 is out. Thanks all!

[jakirkham]

Thanks James! 😀
