Dragonfly v2.4.0 introduces a load-aware two-stage scheduling algorithm and a new Vortex protocol that reduces large file download times by 40-50% compared to gRPC. The release deprecates the Go client in favor of a Rust client, adds simplified multi-cluster Kubernetes deployment with scheduler cluster IDs, and implements task ID calculation based on image blob SHA256 to prevent redundant downloads. Additional improvements include enhanced preheating with IP-based peer selection, HTTP 307 redirect caching, performance optimizations for Manager and Scheduler components, and various bug fixes. Nydus enhancements include CRC32 validation support and Nydus-to-OCI reverse conversion capability.
