🚀 Release: milvus-2.2.11
We are continuously enhancing RBAC to expand the security functionalities across different aspects of the system. In version 2.2.10, we introduced the 'FlushAll' function and Database API to the RBAC capabilities. These updates offer improved control over permissions and access to sensitive operations, ultimately enhancing the system's overall security.
Additionally, both versions, 2.2.10 and 2.2.11, introduced several optimizations and upgrades. Notably, in version 2.2.11, we optimized disk usage for RocksMq by enabling zstd compression starting from level 2. This enhancement significantly improves storage efficiency. Additionally, in version 2.2.10, we made a major improvement by replacing the CGO payload writer with a Go payload writer. This change reduced memory usage, leading to improved system performance and stability.
Please note that there are several bug fixes and performance enhancements in the Milvus 2.2.10 & 2.2.1 releases, so check out the release notes for more details.
