+# Blitzkrieg 1.18.0
+
+Introducing the new `/rating` command!
+
+## Features
+
+- `/rating` command
+  - Features statistics on today's performance in ratings
+  - The included stats are battles, winrate, damage, survival, and kills
+  - This command also features the score, rank, and league you are at plus the reward you'll get if you are high enough on the leaderboard
+- `/ratings`, the old leaderboard command, has been renamed `/rating-leaderboard`
+  - Reward icons have been removed from the leaderboard
+
+## Technical Changes
+
+- Rating leaderboards are now built in a more action-efficient manner.
+  - This version also introduces the BKRL (Blitzkrieg rating leaderboard) file format which is an efficient way to store entire leaderboards of regions to disk (1 MB per 40,000 users).
+  - Latest archival actions now build all regions at once in a single action.
+- The sharp module is now included in the build.
