* The CronJob object is now enabled by default at `v1beta1`. CronJob `v2alpha1` is still available, but it must be explicitly enabled. We recommend that you move any current CronJob objects to `batch/v1beta1.CronJob`. Be aware that if you specify the deprecated version, you may encounter Resource Not Found errors. These errors occur because the new controllers look for the new version during a rolling update.

- Graduated `AdmissionWebhookMatchCondition` feature to beta. ([#119380](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119380), [@a-hilaly](https://github.com/a-hilaly))

* Conformance tests may now include disruptive tests. If you are running tests against a live cluster, consider skipping those tests tagged as `Disruptive` to avoid non-test workloads being impacted. Be aware, skipping any conformance tests (even disruptive ones) will make the results ineligible for consideration for the CNCF Certified Kubernetes program.

* Provided API support for external CSI storage drivers to support block volumes. ([#64723](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64723), [@vladimirvivien](https://github.com/vladimirvivien))
* Volume topology aware dynamic provisioning for external provisioners is now supported. ([#63193](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63193), [@lichuqiang](https://github.com/lichuqiang))

SIG Storage also moves support for Block Volumes to beta (introduced as alpha in v1.9) and support for Topology Aware Volume Scheduling to stable (introduced as alpha in v1.9 and promoted to beta in 1.10).

### SIG UI

- Added validation to ensure that if `service.kubernetes.io/topology-aware-hints` and `service.kubernetes.io/topology-mode` annotations are both set, they are set to the same value.Also Added deprecation warning if `service.kubernetes.io/topology-aware-hints` annotation is used. ([#116612](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116612), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott))

- Kube-proxy log now shows the "Skipping topology aware endpoint filtering since no hints were provided for zone" warning under the right conditions ([#101857](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101857), [@dervoeti](https://github.com/dervoeti)) [SIG Network]

The SIG also focused on adding functionality to the Kubernetes volume subsystem, such as alpha support for exposing volumes as block devices inside containers, extending the alpha volume-resizing support to more volume plugins, and topology-aware volume scheduling.
