 changes relative to sbcl-1.0.36:
+  * DEPRECIATION: the SB-QUEUE contrib was merged into the SB-CONCURRENCY
+    contrib module. New code should depend on SB-CONCURRENCY, not SB-QUEUE.
+  * DEPRECIATION: SB-THEAD:GET-MUTEX was deprecated in favor of
+    SB-THREAD:GRAB-MUTEX.
+  * new contrib: SB-CONCURRENCY is a new contrib; it's supposed to contain
+    additional data structures and tools for concurrent programming; at the
+    moment it contains a lock-free queue, and a lock-free mailbox
+    implementation.
+  * new feature: added SB-THREAD:GRAB-MUTEX; it's like the now deprecated
+    GET-MUTEX but takes &key rather than &optional parameters.  Also added
+    :TIMEOUT argument to GRAB-MUTEX on non-sb-lutex platforms like Linux and
+    BSD.
+  * new feature: added SB-THREAD:TRY-SEMAPHORE, a non-blocking variant of
+    SB-THREAD:WAIT-ON-SEMAPHORE.
+  * new feature: SB-EXT:ATOMIC-DECF has been added as a companion to
+    SB-EXT:ATOMIC-INCF.
+  * new feature: a CANCEL-DEADLINE is associated with DEADLINE-TIMEOUT
+    conditions to defer the deadline for forever.
+  * enhancement: *STANDARD-OUTPUT*, *STANDARD-INPUT*, and *ERROR-OUTPUT* are
+    now bivalent.
+  * enhancement: errors from NO-APPLICABLE-METHOD and
+    NO-PRIMARY-METHOD now have a RETRY restart available to retry the
+    generic function call.
+  * enhancement: SB-BSD-SOCKET improvements
+    ** sockets and socket streams now have a more informative printed
+       representation based on the corresponding SOCKET-NAME and
+       SOCKET-PEERNAME.
+    ** SOCKET-MAKE-STREAM once more supports the :AUTO-CLOSE option.
+       (lp#540413)
+  * improvements to the instrumenting profiler
+    ** new feature: report per-function GC overhead. (thanks to John Fremlin)
+    ** optimization: counters no longer use locks for the overflow mode.
+    ** bug fix: whenever a profiling counter wrapped into overflow mode, it
+       incurred an off-by-one miscount.
+  * bug fix: correct restart text for the continuable error in MAKE-PACKAGE.
+  * bug fix: a rare case of startup-time page table corruption.
+  * bug fix: a semaphore with multiple waiters and some of them unwinding due
+    to timeouts could be left in an inconsistent state.
+  * bug fix: fix typo in "Reporting Bugs" section of the manual (lp#520366)
+  * bug fix: misoptimization of multiplication by one in
+    (SB-C::FLOAT-ACCURACY 0) policies.
+  * bug fix: miscounts in SB-PROFILE.

+changes in sbcl-1.0.37 relative to sbcl-1.0.36:
   * enhancement: Backtrace from THROW to uncaught tag on x86oids now shows
     stack frame thrown from.
   * enhancement: WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT :POLICY allows restricting changes to
     compiler optimization qualities inside dynamic extent of its body.
+  * enhancement: LOAD-LOGICAL-PATHNAME-TRANSLATIONS can be used to load
+    translations from SYS:SITE;<HOST>.TRANSLATIONS.NEWEST (thanks to Michael
+    Weber)
   * optimization: SLOT-VALUE and (SETF SLOT-VALUE) take advantage of
     constraint propgation, allowing better compilation eg. when used to
     access structures with WITH-SLOTS. (lp#520366)
