## Changes by Kind

### Deprecation

- Ginkgo.Measure has been deprecated in Ginkgo V2, switch to use gomega/gmeasure instead ([#111065](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111065), [@chendave](https://github.com/chendave)) [SIG Autoscaling and Testing]

### API Change

	for i, meta := range partsMetadata {
		if !meta.IsValid() {
			// Since for majority of the cases erasure.Index matches with erasure.Distribution we can
			// consider the offline disks as consistent.
			continue
		}
		if !meta.Deleted {
			if len(meta.Erasure.Distribution) != len(onlineDisks) {
				// Erasure distribution seems to have lesser
				// number of items than number of online disks.
				inconsistent++

- The `AdvancedAuditing` feature gate that graduated to GA in `v1.12` (and was unconditionally
  enabled) has been removed. ([#118763](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118763), [@Shubham82](https://github.com/Shubham82))
