March 2025: Delivered a focused internal refactor in apache/ignite-3 that simplifies zone update handling by removing the previousDescriptor field from AlterZoneEntry and related classes; event parameters now pass only the new zone descriptor. This reduces API complexity and potential for errors during zone updates, improves maintainability of the zone descriptor flow, and lays groundwork for future enhancements.
