* OIDC authentication now allows tokens without an "email_verified" claim when using the "email" claim. If an "email_verified" claim is present when using the "email" claim, it must be `true`. ([#61508](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61508), [@rithujohn191](https://github.com/rithujohn191))

  An example claim validation rule expression that matches the validation automatically
  applied when username.claim is set to 'email' is 'claims.?email_verified.orValue(true) == true'. 
  By explicitly comparing the value to true, we let type-checking see the result will be a boolean,

- When using a claim with immediate allocation and a pod referencing that claim couldn't get scheduled, the scheduler incorrectly may have tried to deallocate that claim. ([#122415](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122415), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))

- Added a config-mode flag in azure auth module to enable getting AAD token without spn: prefix in audience claim. When it's not specified, the default behavior doesn't change. ([#87630](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87630), [@weinong](https://github.com/weinong)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, CLI and Cloud Provider]

- Promoted the `ServiceAccountTokenJTI` feature to GA, which adds a `jti` claim to issued service account tokens and embeds the `jti` claim as a `authentication.kubernetes.io/credential-id=["JTI=..."]` value in user extra info

- Dynamic resource allocation: when a claim uses "wait for first consumer" allocation (the default), then it will now get deallocated after it was used by a pod. That ensures that the next pod isn't affected by previous scheduling decision and that resources are not kept allocated unless really needed. If keeping a claim allocated is desired, use "immediate allocation." ([#118936](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118936),...

- `kube-apiserver` added:

- Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA): using structured parameters with a claim that gets reused between pods may have led to a claim with an invalid state (allocated without a finalizer) which then caused scheduling of pods using the claim to stop.

* **When using OIDC authentication and specifying --oidc-username-claim=email, an `"email_verified":true` claim must be returned from the identity provider. ([#36087](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/36087), [@ericchiang](https://github.com/ericchiang))**

* iSCSI Persistent Volume Sources can now reference CHAP Secrets in namespaces other than the namespace of the bound Persistent Volume Claim ([#51530](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51530), [@rootfs](https://github.com/rootfs))
