- 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))

- 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]
- Fixed incorrect "v1 Binding is deprecated in v1.6+" warning in kube-scheduler log. ([#125540](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125540), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery]

  phase (Succeeded or Failed, depending on the exit statuses of the pod containers) to pods which
  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))
* RBAC role and role-binding reconciliation now ensures namespaces exist when reconciling on startup. ([#48480](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48480), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

* [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...

  * Marking a StorageClass as default makes it so that even a PersistentVolumeClaim without a StorageClass specified will trigger dynamic provisioning (instead of binding to an existing pool of PVs).
  * If you depend on the old behavior of volumes binding to existing pool of PersistentVolume objects then modify the StorageClass object and set `storageclass.beta.kubernetes.io/is-default-class` to `false`.
