 ### Fixed
 * Update the `black` version regex to fix `19.10b0` and earlier. (fixes [#1195](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/issues/1195), regression introduced in `2.25.0`)
 * `GitAttributesLineEndings$RelocatablePolicy` and `FormatterStepImpl` now null-out their initialization lambdas after their state has been calculated, which allows GC to collect variables which were incidentally captured but not needed in the calculated state. ([#1198](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/pull/1198))
+### Changes
+* Bump default `ktfmt` version to latest `0.36` -> `0.37`. ([#1200](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/pull/1200))
