### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Added the `Step` field to the testing framework to allow volume expansion in configurable step sizes for tests. ([#134760](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134760), [@Rishita-Golla](https://github.com/Rishita-Golla)) [SIG Storage and Testing]

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Allow CSI drivers to just run offline expansion tests (#102665, @gnufied) [SIG Storage and Testing]

## Dependencies

### Added
_Nothing has changed._

### Changed
- golang.org/x/text: v0.3.4 → v0.3.6

### Removed
_Nothing has changed._

- This release added support for `NodeExpandSecret` for CSI driver client which enables the CSI drivers to make use of this secret while performing node expansion operation based on the user request. Previously there was no secret  provided as part of the `nodeexpansion` call, thus CSI drivers did not make use of the same while expanding the volume at the node side. ([#105963](https://github.com/kubernete...

### API Change

   ([#122447](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122447), [@ardaguclu](https://github.com/ardaguclu))
- Fixed an error when trying to expand a volume that does not require node expansion. ([#123055](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123055), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))

* kube-apiserver now includes all registered API groups in discovery, including registered extension API group/versions for unavailable extension API servers. ([#66932](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66932), [@nilebox](https://github.com/nilebox))

 - Reduced state change noise when volume expansion fails. Also mark certain failures as infeasible.
  
  ACTION REQUIRED:  If you are using the `RecoverVolumeExpansionFailure` alpha feature gate
  then after upgrading to this release, you need to update some objects.

- Unreserve extension point for scheduler plugins is merged into Reserve extension point ([#92200](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/92200), [@adtac](https://github.com/adtac)) [SIG Scheduling and Testing]

### Bug or Regression
