+## OpenRC 0.37
+
+start-stop-daemon now supports logging stdout and stderr of daemons to
+processes instead of files. These processes are defined by the
+output_logger and error_logger variables in standard service scripts, or
+by the  -3/--output-logger or -4/--error-logger switches if you use
+start-stop-daemon directly. For more information on this, see the
+start-stop-daemon man page.
+
+## OpenRC 0.36
+
+In this release, the modules-load service has been combined into the
+modules service since there is no reason I know of to keep them
+separate. However, modules also provides modules-load in case you were
+using modules-load in  your dependencies.
+
+The consolefont, keymaps, numlock and procfs service scripts no longer
+have a dependency on localmount.
+If you are a linux user and are still separaating / from /usr,
+you will need to add the following line to the appropriate conf.d files:
+
+rc_need="localmount"
+
 ## OpenRC 0.35
