- Fixed a regression preventing garbage collection of RBAC role and binding objects ([#90534](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/90534), [@apelisse](https://github.com/apelisse)) [SIG Auth]

* fix: make azure disk URI as case insensitive ([#79020](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/79020), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* Fixed binding of block PersistentVolumes / PersistentVolumeClaims when BlockVolume feature is off. ([#84049](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/84049), [@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane))

    * Role bindings since the default scopes now include the "userinfo.email"
    * scope. This is a breaking change if the numeric uniqueIDs of the Google
    * service accounts were being used in RBAC role bindings. The behavior
    * can be overridden by explicitly specifying the scope values as

- Clear pod binding cache on bind error to make sure stale pod binding cache will not be used. ([#71212](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71212), [@cofyc](https://github.com/cofyc))

  are deleted while running.
  
  This fixes the issue for jobs using pod failure policy (with JobPodFailurePolicy and PodDisruptionConditions 
  feature gates enabled) that their pods could get stuck in the pending phase when deleted.
  

* Add generic NoSchedule toleration to fluentd in gcp config. ([#48182](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48182), [@gmarek](https://github.com/gmarek))

* [Action required] The validation rule for metadata.initializers.pending[x].name is tightened. The initializer name must contain at least three segments, separated by dots. You can create objects with pending initializers and not rely on the API server to add pending initializers according to `initializerConfiguration`. If you do so, update the initializer name in the existing objects and the configuration files to...

- Fixed code-generator client-gen to work with `api/v1`-like package structure. ([#125162](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125162), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts)) [SIG API Machinery and Apps]

* Action required: validation rule on metadata.initializers.pending[x].name is tightened. The initializer name needs to contain at least three segments separated by dots. If you create objects with pending initializers, (i.e., not relying on apiserver adding pending initializers according to initializerconfiguration), you need to update the initializer name in existing objects and in configuration files to comply...
