Michael Natterer has now announced this:
Hi,
After 6 years of development...
We just released GIMP 2.10.0 \o/
This is the first release of the new stable 2.10 series.
For a complete list of changes since 2.10.0-RC2 please see the
"Changes" section below.
There is also a release announcement on www.gimp.org:

Detailed release notes for 2.10, including many
screenshots and videos of new features, can be found here:

Also, we're going to have some beers now...
Happy GIMPing,

Based on the two RC releases, libmypaint and libmypaint-brushes are
required. The help for 2.10 has not yet been released, and when I last
looked at the git version of help it appeared to not yet be complete (I
tried to get help for something, probably the new shadows/highlights
filter under 'colour') and it reported an error).
More significantly, two issues have so far been reported:
1. libmypaint-1.3.0 requires gegl-0.3 but gimp now requires gegl-0.4.
2. a report that gimp.pc.in still contains a reference to gegl-0.3, and
that this prevents packages such as g'mic (not in the book, but important
for photographers) from building.
I'll keep an eye on this.
Meanwhile, I guess I should also note the following:
1. user files now go into ~/.config/GIMP/2.10 instead of ~/gimp-2.8 (this
affects your own scripts/plugins if you need to install them as a user, or
edit/debug scripts).
2. some existing scripts which gave popup warnings in recent 2.9 are fine
in the RCs, others which worked in 2.9.6 will need changes (I had one of
each).
3. working on images is fastest if they are either 8-bit or else 32-bit-
floating-point (the new 'precision' option allows conversion) - and pngs
from a 32-bit fp image will now be exported as 16-bit.
With the exception of the issues which have been reported, this all sounds
good.
