If we can get 1065 (diagnostic file URLs fix) into the release that would be great. It's worth waiting a day or two for this.
I think the layer changes should go into 3.8.0, which could follow fairly closely behind 3.7.0 time-line wise, but I'd suggest it is the only change in that release perhaps since it is a breaking change for anyone using the layers-extension API, which is an unofficial API, so not really supported, but still some people (at my employer Owl anyway) are using it. 3.7.0 has some real performance improvements, and while we still have a ways to go on that front, I think these are significant and we should get them into people's hands. It also has the changes to support the Apache Drill integration, which we need released so that work can continue.
