- Feb. 4: A glider detection and removal upgrade in apgsearch version 4.91 gives a surprising search speed boost of well over 50% compared to version 4.88.
- Feb. 4: Tanner Jacobi and Martin Grant find a recipe, reduced by Goldtiger997 to 100 gliders, for the first-ever synthesizable c/4 spaceship, 46P4H1V0.
- Jan. 21 - Feb. 1: Additional (2,1)c/6 minstrels and spaceship connections are found, bringing the number of combinations of elementary minstrels into double digits.
- Jan. 25: the Pattern of the Year 2018 competition concludes, with Sir Robin taking first place.
- Jan. 25: LifeViewer build 282 goes live on the LifeWiki and forums, with several enhancements including new labeling functionality.
- Jan. 17: A new period-8 domino sparker, 230P8, is discovered by Arie Paap and reduced by 'Bullet51'.
- Jan. 16-18: Four new minstrels are found, plus a lucky connection of an existing minstrel to knightwave, creating for the first time a grammar that allows for an infinite number of distinct elementary knightships.
- Jan. 10: A new period-24 oscillator, dueling banjos, turns up in an apgsearch soup search. Uses so far include a smaller period-24 glider gun, with associated improvements to p16 and p48 glider guns and a p48 LWSS gun.
- Jan. 3-7: Record-setting diehards are found by Rob Liston and Apple Bottom via apgsearch.
