# Release notes for v8.1.0

[Documentation](https://kubernetes-csi.github.io)

# Changelog since v8.0.0

## Changes by Kind

### Documentation

- Document Volume Group Snapshot feature in the README file ([#1120](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/external-snapshotter/pull/1120), [@leonardoce](https://github.com/leonardoce))

### Bug or Regression

- Look for a VolumeGroupSnapshotClass instead of a VolumeSnapshotClass when getting metrics data for VolumeGroupSnapshot metrics. ([#1115](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/external-snapshotter/pull/1115), [@leonardoce](https://github.com/leonardoce))
- Prevents a VolumeGroupSnapshot to be provisioned when the volumes' CSI driver is different from the one referenced in the VolumeGroupSnapshotClass resource ([#1098](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/external-snapshotter/pull/1098), [@leonardoce](https://github.com/leonardoce))
- The controller will now detect new default VolumeSnapshotClasses and VolumeGroupSnapshotClasses.
  If multiple classes exist for the same CSI driver, VolumeSnapshot and VolumeGroupSnapshots
  will be marked as failed when provisioned dynamically. ([#1100](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/external-snapshotter/pull/1100), [@leonardoce](https://github.com/leonardoce))

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Updates Kubernetes dependencies to v1.31.0 ([#1139](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/external-snapshotter/pull/1139), [@dfajmon](https://github.com/dfajmon))

### Uncategorized

- Cleanup: Update csi release tools ([#1137](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/external-snapshotter/pull/1137), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
- Fixes a race condition where the PVC finalizer could end up not being removed by the snapshot-controller if the update had a conflict. ([#1133](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/external-snapshotter/pull/1133), [@Fricounet](https://github.com/Fricounet))
- It exposes the metrics for volumegroupsnapshot operations on passing flags like --http-endpoint and --metrics-path to the snapshot controller. These are the command line arguments for the users to enable metrics and start the sever.
  The metric `snapshot_controller_operation_total_seconds` has been added for the volumegroupsnapshot operations:
  1. CreateGroupSnapshot
  2. DeleteGroupSnapshot
  3. CreateSnapshotAndReady ([#1107](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/external-snapshotter/pull/1107), [@yati1998](https://github.com/yati1998))
