3.10.0-alpha release notes here
This version upgrades the engine from LWJGL 3.3 to the new LWJGL 3.4.0. So I’d also suggest taking a looking at the LWJGL 3.4.0 release notes to see all that is new there. This release also comes with a few bug fixes and minor optimizations to some jME classes.
Additionally, this version comes with the removal of OpenVR support (as it has been deprecated for a while now), and the jme3-vr module was consequentially deleted from the jME repo. The 3rd party Tamarin VR Library (using the newer OpenXR) is what you should use if you plan to do VR dev with jME. (or if you have apps that rely on the old OpenVR and don’t want to upgrade, you are still able to use v3.8.0-stable or earlier of the engine where jme3-vr will still exist)
