Build attempt was clean on first try.  Thanks John.

Debian files for Disco have been uploaded to: 
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1M04Ci8m0KthlooxgSVyLq0eyHymzRu6u
Sorry, I'm still not able to build debian files for pre-Disco versions.

Version: 3.7  Build ID: git 3.7-3-gb1d0dd7d5+(2019-09-08)
Finance::Quote: 1.47

Download the three .deb files located in that folder.  Make sure they
are the only files in your download folder that contain 3.7 in the file
names.
cd to the Downloads folder.  Be sure to include the leading ./ in the

[GNC-dev] Announcement: GnuCash 3.7 Released

[John Ralls]

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 3.7, the eighth release of the 
3.x stable release series.

Changes

Between 3.6 and 3.7, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

• Bug 605602 - precision of Financial Calculator seems to depend on 
locale
• Bug 746937 - Template transaction splits are loaded in reverse order 
and then not sorted before saving.
Actually not sorted after loading because the template accounts weren't being 
committed.
• Bug 752395 - Start Day of weekly report doesn't respond to change in 
locale
Redefines some functions to ensure weekly grouping in transaction report obeys 
locale's start-of-week.
• Bug 784623 - GNUCash does not work with sql backend, I can open in 
read only mode
Upgrade the splits table as well, an oversight from the original fix.
• Bug 793018 - Balance (with >>eguile<<) - Report Title can't be changed
• Bug 795251 - googletest detection cannot be overridden
• Bug 796819 - bad icon with Spanish localization
Temporary fix for Farsi, which was afffected, too. As it is maintained by TP, 
the final fix has to come from them.
• Bug 796952 - Report formatting (justify) is broken
Preveious patch reverted and replaced with a more correct one.
• Bug 797085 - Import Bills & Invoices – headers not translated.
Make strings translatable. Translators: This adds 22 new translatable strings.
• Bug 797158 - gnc:make-account-sel-limited-option is not working
Option was being deliberately reset to default_value every time.
• Bug 797279 - Reports RTL do not support RTL
Fix guile-2.0 string handling to prevent munging unicode in report-titles etc. 
while loading/saving reports.
• Bug 797295 - problems with entering swedish åäö in company address
• Bug 797297 - GNUCash is in English even though MacOS is set-up to 
French.
• Bug 797301 - Register Menu View > Refresh doesn't work in 'with 
subaccounts' window.
• Bug 797306 - "URL cannot be shown" when one clicks an account line 
link in report.
• Bug 797316 - New Mauritanian ouguiya MRU not supported
• Bug 797319 - Mauritanian ouguiya MRO shows too few decimals
• Bug 797339 - Online banking frame to small
• Bug 797349 - "A"ssociate header badly translated.
• Bug 797353 - Add copyright and release info in appdata file
• Bug 797355 - General Journal report seems to be off balance
Previously, for general-journal, each split was being analyzed, and only the 
source split was counted for totals. This change will means the source split 
*and* its peers were accounted for.
• Bug 797377 - cmake fails on debian-8 and ubuntu-14.04 with 
gnucash.appdata.xml.in does not exist
• Bug 797378 - QIF file import fails: Loading gives wrong type argument 
in position 2
• Bug 797389 - Random Crashes while attaching a document.
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:

• New feature: Multiselection in the import transaction matcher. Use 
control-left-click, shift-left-click, or click-and-drag to select multiple 
unmatched transactions to match them with a single account, then right-click to 
bring up a single-item context menu sith "Assign Transfer Account".
• Set a FinTS product version key when the installed AQBanking supports 
it.
• Change translatable strings with context to use the modern gettext 
three-parameter function instead of the ':' hack.
• Stop duplicate entries for the invoice taxtable cell.
• Do not log an error when no default tax tables are set.
• Fix cmake dependency tree so that make/ninja check works without 
having to first run make/ninja.
• Remove the accelerator for the Clear buttons on the Loan Calculator 
because they were all the same and also the same as the Close button's 
accelerator.
• Change the transfer account notation for single-split transactions in 
basic view from "--Split Transaction--" (they're obviously not) to "None".
• Correctly parse decimal values between 0 and -1 (e.g. -0.5) in 
register caclulations: The negative sign was being stripped.
• Require CMake 3.5 or later for all platforms.
• Rework the building of libgtest.a from source when the builder sets 
GTEST_ROOT or the distro doesn't provide a pre-build one.
• Fix crash when trying to display a tooltip in the register split view 
when a split has focus.
• Fix repeated requests to create a new account when you click No.
• Suppress bogus error when creating a new account from register split 
view.
• Fix price conversion report crashes in Balance Sheet PNL and all 
average balance calculations.
• Upgrade the Budget reports to support accumulated accounts.
• Redefine gnc:debug to use QofLog instead of writing to stdout.
• Change the Balance Sheet PNL account depth to mean the deepest
