The notes seems to be a little thinner than usual, possibly because the people who usually contribute to it are busy with the revamp of the whole gnome.org infrastructure and content.
It's also important to note that features often are worked on over several releases, not always making the cut for a particular release.
That said, 2.18 does seem to have quite a few cleanups and speedups not mentioned. For example, if I'm not mistaken, gnome-power-manager uses much less memory and cairo is in some cases almost 100 times faster.
