We are pleased to announce the release of Milvus 2.6.10! This update strengthens security controls around KMS key revocation and improves search and storage performance through automatic FP32-to-FP16/BF16 conversion, optimized segment loading, and updated auto-index configurations. This release also fixes a number of stability issues across compaction, query pagination, and recovery workflows. We recommend all users on the 2.6 branch upgrade to this version for improved reliability and performance.
