- Improved logging when volume times out waiting for attach/detach. ([#108628](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108628), [@RomanBednar](https://github.com/RomanBednar))
- Improved the rounding of `PodTopologySpread` scores to offer better scoring when spreading a low number of pods. ([#107384](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107384), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho))

If a container runtime does not support the `v1` API, Kubernetes will fall back to the `v1alpha2` implementation.
There is no intermediate action required by end-users, because `v1` and `v1alpha2` do not differ in their implementation.
It is likely that `v1alpha2` will be removed in one of the future Kubernetes releases to be able to develop `v1`.
