-changes relative to sbcl-1.0.36:
+changes relative to sbcl-1.0.37:
+  * INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: Thread names are now restricted to SIMPLE-STRINGs
+    like for any other thread-related datastructure, MUTEX, etc. (lp#547095)
+  * DEPRECATION: the SB-QUEUE contrib was merged into the SB-CONCURRENCY
+    contrib module. New code should depend on SB-CONCURRENCY, not SB-QUEUE.
+  * DEPRECATION: 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)
+    ** SOCKET-CLOSE now accepts :ABORT argument, which is passed on to
+       CL:CLOSE when appropriate, and no longer disassociates the stream
+       from the socket if close failed. (lp#543951)
+  * 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.
+  * enhancement: improved MAKE-HASH-TABLE documentation (lp#543473)
+  * 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.
+  * bug fix: Fix lost wakeup bug between SB-THREAD:CONDITION-WAIT and
+    CONDITION-NOTIFY on Linux. See threads "lost wakeup in condition-wait /
+    condition-notify" (Feb 2010) and "Condition-Wait, Deadline handler, waking
+    up itself" (March 2010) for further details.
+  * bug fix: allow forward FIND and POSITION on lists to elide checking :END
+    against length of the list if the element is found before the specified
+    END is reached. (thanks to Alec Berryman, lp#554385)
+  * bug fix: errors signalled during package graph modification no longer
+    block FIND-SYMBOL and FIND-PACKAGE in other threads. (lp#511072)
+  * bug fix: SB-POSIX build was broken when SBCL was compiled without the
+    :SB-DOC feature. (lp#552564)
+  * bug fix: SB-INTROSPECT build issues on GENGC/PPC. (lp#490490)
+  * bug fix: more robust runtime executable path detection. (lp#375549)
+
+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
