On1 released an update, 6/20, this is free to owners of 2018. Here's a FB video explaining some of the new features.
New Features
Camera Profiles — Now you can select the same looks you see on the back of your camera right in ON1 Photo RAW. Select from Natural, Portrait, Landscape, etc. depending on what your camera offers. These are not not presets, they don’t adjust any of the sliders and they are non-destructive.
Color LUTs in Effects — Color LUTs or look-up tables are a popular way to add matte, vintage or cinematic color grading looks. Now you can add them inside of Effects. We supply a ton of LUTs to get you started. Plus you can import LUTs in the common .3DL and .CUBE formats that you can find online. They work just like any other filter in Effects. You can stack them, mask them and control the blending options.
Improve Brushing Performance — Brushing with the Masking Brush more responsive, especially on Windows computers with large or high-dpi displays.
Transform Improvements — The Transform pane in Develop is much improved. With the new options it is easy to correct perspective and rotation issues. The new grid makes it easier to visualize your results too.
Faster Film Strip for Culling — Now using the Filmstrip in Develop and Effects is just as fast as in Browse. You can switch photos instantly! You can even perform your editing and and culling tasks, like ratings, labels, rotate and delete, while you are adjusting your raw processing.
RAW+JPG — If you shoot RAW and JPG at the same time, you can now collapse and hide the JPG copy so your library isn’t cluttered. Any metadata or file changes you make are mirrored to the JPG seamlessly.
Nested Albums — Albums can now be organized just like folders. You can nest albums or photos inside of other albums. Create complex organizations to suit your needs. If you are migrating from Lightroom, your nested albums are brought over with the Lightroom migration assistant.
Increased Stability — We are always working to make ON1 Photo RAW faster and more stable. We have made big improvements under the hood to reduce the change of crashing when we encounter a corrupted photo file.
Background Export — Time is money so we want you to be as productive as possible. When you export it now does it’s processing in the background so you can continue to work on another job.
Nested Presets — We all love presets and collect a ton of them. Now you can organize your presets into a nested category structure to organize them as you like. You can move, rename, delete and nest presets and categories as you see fit.
New Cameras & Lenses — With every free update we add as many new cameras and lenses that we can get our hands on. This list is fast changing, we will share the final details when we are ready to ship. So far we have added:
Cameras — Fujifilm X-A5, Fujifilm X-H1, Sony A7 III, Canon EOS 2000D/1500D/Rebel T7/Kiss X90, Canon EOS 4000D/3000D/ Rebel T100, Panasonic DC-GX9, Panasonic LUMIX ZS200/TZ200, Panasonic GH5S, Panasonic G80/G81/G85.

Pete,
Thanks so much for letting us know about this update release! It is downloaded and installed. Now it is time to play around with it! 
I really appreciate how you took the time to highlight the new features. Great job! I am particularly interested in "Nested Presets" to organize my presets. (I have too many of them!!!) Another new feature, which I am looking forward to checking, is the addition of Color LUTs in the Effects module. Lately I have been incorporating them in my workflow in Photoshop.
As a side note, Frank created some LUTs and generously shared them with us. They can be downloaded from . . .

I have found this version to be unusably buggy. Many complaints on their forums, too. Perhaps not yet ready for prime time.

I have had no problems (performance-wise) with the three modules I use on a regular basis -- Browse, Develop, and Effects.
The only problem I encountered was with the removal of the older versions. I specified during the installation process I wanted only this latest version; it didn't work. The Uninstaller removed the previous 2018 version but the 2017 version kept showing up in the filter menu for both PS CC and PSE. I had to remove the 2017 version manually. If anyone needs to do it, here are the paths to follow.
PSE -- C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements x.x\Plug-Ins\ . . .
PS CC -- C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\ . . . |

My experience doesn't mimic yours ... so far PR 2018.5 has been rock solid on my Win 7 pc. I've been testing this .5 version for most of the month. I use it as a stand alone editor. |

Peter -
Glad to hear it. Unfortunately, I and many others on the ON1 forums are not having such a smooth time with it.

My friend has had issues since the update on her Mac. She contacted OnOne support and got a quick reply. For anyone experiencing difficulties, perhaps some of the recommendations that were sent to her might help in your case as well. 1. For help installing, activating and all information regarding new features and fixes in the 2018.5 update, please see: on1help.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/1150018006312. If you on on a PC and are receiving a -214... error message during the installer, please see: on1help.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/2053077983. If you are on a PC and are receiving the "open GL 3.3 is required" error, or receiving a crash report when attempting to run the 2018.5, please see: on1help.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/1150001384714. If you are unable to see your image within the main preview window after updating to the 2018.5 version, this is a known issue that our QA and Development team will be addressing in a minor update patch for the 2018.5 version. This is an extremely high priority and will be releasing this update patch ASAP. This should be available next week. In the meantime, if you are on a deadline and need to edit your photos, you will be able to roll back to the 2018.1 version by installing from the links below. You will not need to uninstall the 2018.5 version if you are rolling back to 2018.1. Simply download and install on top of what you already have. Here are the download links to version 2018.1: Mac: ononesoft.cachefly.net/photoraw2018/mac/gm_5088/ON1_Photo_RAW_2018.dmgWindows: ononesoft.cachefly.net/photoraw2018/win/gm_5088/ON1_Photo_RAW_2018.exe |

Thanks for all this information. I had been planning to update but was putting it off until I have completed some hardware updates to my PC. Sounds like I should wait a bit while any issues get sorted out.

Tony -
My advice would be to wait, unless you're super-curious and adventurous. ON1 normally has very good support but they seem to be swamped right now. Personally, I think they may have been overanxious to get this new non-Beta version out the door.
On the other hand, you DO have the option of retaining the previous version when you install the new one, so... your call.

Emphasize the previous version ... upgrading PR 2018.1 > 2018.5 overwrites 2018.1, but has the option to leave 2017 and prior in place. |

Wow, Peter, you're correct. I hadn't noticed that. That's a really misleading prompt on the installation!
