- Add SourceVolumeMode field to VolumeSnapshotContents. Documentation for this alpha feature is pending. ([#665](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/external-snapshotter/pull/665), [@RaunakShah](https://github.com/RaunakShah))

- Updates that remove remaining `metadata.finalizers` from  an object that is pending deletion (non-nil metadata.deletionTimestamp) and has no graceful deletion pending (nil or 0 metadata.deletionGracePeriodSeconds) now results in immediate deletion of the object.

  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.
  

* Fixed a bug in the apiserver storage that could cause just-added finalizers to be ignored on an immediately following delete request, leading to premature deletion. ([#77619](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77619), [@caesarxuchao](https://github.com/caesarxuchao))
