For 7.4, the biggest features are:

- [Backup V2](https://github.com/apple/foundationdb/blob/main/design/backup_v2_partitioned_logs.md): this feature will reduce writes to log system by 50%, thus improving commit latency and reducing the number of tlogs required. This is code complete, and we are actively testing the feature to make it production ready at some later patch releases.
- Bulk dumping/loading. This is experimental in 7.4.
