Note that "RC" == "Release candidate". So 2.10~rc1 is the first release
candidate for Tails 2.10, a release you would have seen planned on our
calendar for months:
https://tails.boum.org/contribute/calendar/
The 3.x series is being worked on in parallel with the 2.x series,
simply because the goals for 3.0 are huge, and wouldn't be possible to
achieve during a normal release cycle.

2.10 will be a new version of Tails, building on Tails 2.9.1. And yes,
it will have improvements, most of which are present in the release
candidate. Have a look at the list of changes here:

Cheers!
