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).
