Me too ...
Minimal test:
+ Extracts with DLL-7-ZIP 4.58 on DOS, just 1'000'000 duplicates
* Main EXE of 2.37 hogs 1'658'880 bytes - exactly same size as 2.3.6 
> - More than 100 bugfixes in CPU emulation correctness
- Comes with 1'000'000 BIOS'es ... but seems only 2 of them are required :
BIOS-bochs-latest BOXBIOLA 131'072
VGABIOS-lgpl-latest BOXVGAB 38'400
+ Still starts on HX
--- Very old BUG Can't deal with Read-only image files
- Occasionally some random startup trouble (not new ?)
- VESA trouble - fullscreen ??? kbd failure ??? Seems to occur in 2.3.6 also ...
- Faster than 2.3.6 just 1.15 times - PKZIP -exx on HDPMI32 ... yeah

No DOS and HX
REM Start BOCHS (BOX) on DOS
DPMILD32 -g b237.exe -f bbb.bo -q
rem * Supposing: "B237.EXE" is the BOCHS executable, BBB.BO" is the BOCHS config file
rem * "-g" is the "force-GUI" switch for DPMILD32 (same thing as with QEMU and many others)
rem * "-f" "file" : specifies the config file for BOCHS
rem * "-q" "quick start" : Makes BOCHS immediately run the GUI and start emulation/booting
