The standard Ubuntu repo will not get an upgrade.  With Ubuntu,
generally only security fixes are retrofittted after a version of
Ubuntu is released.  So Ubuntu 19.10 is most unlikely to see Gnucash
upgraded from whatever is in the repository (3.7?).  To get 3.8 you
will have to wait for Ubuntu 20.04, build it yourself, or find a
pre-built version from elsewhere.  The reason Ubuntu does not
generally upgrade apps during the life of a release is to provide
stability for users.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates

An alternative is if someone provides a new version for the Ubuntu
backports repository, which I think is something that there has been
discussion of here.  The backports repository allows for users to
consciously decide toinstall upgrades to specific packages.
