We are excited to announce the official launch of Milvus 2.4.0. Building upon the solid foundation of the 2.4.0-rc.1 release, we have focused on addressing critical bugs reported by our users, while preserving the existing functionality. In addition, Milvus 2.4.0 introduces a range of optimizations aimed at enhancing system performance, improving observability through the incorporation of various metrics, and streamlining the codebase for increased simplicity.
