What version numbers consist of the 2.03 and 2.04 releases?

I just received the latest non-developer updates from my dealer, and ended up
with Kickstart 37.175 and Workbench 37.52.  It was my understanding that the
2.03 release was 36.xxx, not 37.xxx and that 2.04 wasn't available yet.  What
do I really have?  I own a 3000 but am not a registered developer.  The
SetPatch implied a date of 24-May-1991.

Incidentally, this update consisted of one floppy with a Kickstart image and a
Setpatch executable, one floppy with Workbench 37.26, one that updated this to
37.52, and an extras disk.  There was absolutely no documentation supplied, and
no installation scripts were included.  It was up to the user to manually copy
all the files and to delete the old ones that were moved from directory to a
different one.

On a side note, the startup-sequence now runs ConClip.  Any ideas what this is? 
There's also a new handler named queue-handler.  Is Commodore going to
implement print and/or batch queues?

And lastly, this still doesn't let my Mean 18 run :-(  KindWords is just about
usable again, though. 

Any and all information greatly appreciated.
