+Qt Creator 18
+=============
+
+Qt Creator version 18 contains bug fixes and new features.
+It is a free upgrade for commercial license holders.
+
+The most important changes are listed in this document. For a complete list of
+changes, see the Git log for the Qt Creator sources that you can check out from
+the public Git repository or view online at
+
+<https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-creator/qt-creator.git/log/?id=17.0..v18.0.0>
+
+New plugins
+-----------
+
+### Development Container Support
+
+The development container support detects a `devcontainer.json` in your project
+directory and creates a docker container for it.
+It supports Qt Creator specific `customizations` in the `devcontainer.json` that
+let you auto detect or specify custom kits for the container and control other
+aspects like the command bridge.
