Is this related to the Scala.js release or just a convenience fix?

No, it's really .0. This is the list of versions used for the badge selector at https://www.scala-js.org/libraries/ . You can also notice that there is 1.18.0 in that list, although that was also a never-announced version.

- Concrete version.
- Consistency with the performance section.

Add:
- startup speed thanks to constant arrays in data segments?
- "general efforts to minimize JS / WASM hops" or something? (I don't think it makes sense to list the specifics, but maybe it's still worth mentioning overall).

| As a reminder, libraries compiled with 0.6.x cannot be used with Scala.js 1.x; they must be republished with 1.x first. | ||

Do we need to mention scala-js/scala-js#5228 under changes with compatibility concerns?

Add scala-js/scala-js#5224 (RedBlackTree.fromOrdered)?

IMO this one is quite niche, and it's not easy to describe in simple terms what user-facing API is affected. So I suggest we don't mention it.
| ### Link-time conditional branching | ||
|
|
||
| Thanks to our optimizer's ability to inline, constant-fold, and then eliminate dead code, we have been able to write link-time conditional branches for a long time. | ||
| Typical examples include polyfills, as illustrated in the documentation of [`scala.scalajs.LinkingInfo`](https://javadoc.io/static/org.scala-js/scalajs-library_2.13/1.19.0/scala/scalajs/LinkingInfo$.html#esVersion:Int): |

Nit: Link to the docs on scala-js.org? Feels odd to host them, but link externally.

We don't actually host them anymore. We redirect to javadoc.io. But I did update the link to use our entry points.
