However, as this is the start of a new version, it is recommended that you check the Downloads Page and use the latest version to receive any bug fixes.

Intro:

It's another minor update, which means another major pain!
Kidding, but tags and registries were majorly reworked in this update, so proceed with caution.
Additionally, Mojang have begun to transition to SLF4J for logging, so make sure to use LogUtils.getLogger() rather than the Log4J variant.

Not much to report change-wise since the 1.18.1 39.1 release.
Major things to not on Mojang's end tho, is tags have been completely re-written, and vanilla registries are now locked by vanilla code. We unlock them during Registry events so people using those events are fine. However, anyone still constructing their objects in static init will be broken. We told you to stop doing that years ago.

We have figured out how we wish to address the major changes with Tags and Registries. So expect a RB in a few days.
