v2.4.15

Release Date: November 5, 2024

Milvus 2.4.15 was a critical bug-fix release focused on enhancing system stability, performance, and compatibility. This version addressed a major deadlock issue that could occur during QueryNode crashes and introduced compatibility updates for the backup tool with the database feature. Additionally, Milvus 2.4.15 improved delete performance and stability through significant optimizations in L0 handling. Upgrading to v2.4.15 was strongly recommended to benefit from these critical enhancements.
