    * When a pod is deleted, the controller waits for the volume to be safely unmounted by kubelet. It does this by waiting for the volume to no longer be present in the nodes Node.Status.VolumesInUse list. If the volume is not safely unmounted by kubelet within a pre-configured duration (3 minutes...

- Node shutdown controller made a best effort to wait for CSI Drivers to complete the volume teardown process according to the pod priority groups. ([#125070](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125070), [@torredil](https://github.com/torredil)) [SIG Node, Storage and Testing]

- Increased `CSINodeIDMaxLength` from 128 bytes to 192 bytes. ([#98753](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98753), [@Jiawei0227](https://github.com/Jiawei0227))
- Kube-apiserver: The OIDC authenticator no longer waits 10 seconds before attempting to fetch the metadata required to verify tokens. ([#97693](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97693), [@enj](https://github.com/enj)) [SIG API Machinery and Auth]

- "kubectl delete" no longer waits for dependent objects to be deleted when removing parent resources ([#65908](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65908), [@juanvallejo](https://github.com/juanvallejo))

- Improved handling of jsonpath expressions for `kubectl wait --for`. It is now possible to use simple filter expressions which match on a field's content. ([#118748](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118748), [@andreaskaris](https://github.com/andreaskaris))
