In addition, there were several enhancements added to the following features:
- Bulk-insert
- Memory usage reduction
- Optimization of monitoring metrics
- Performance improvements for Meta storage
Please note that Milvus 2.2.3 also included a breaking change where the maximum number of fields in a collection was reduced from 256 to 64 (#22030).
