## Serving
**Original notes**: [Knative Serving 1.18](https://github.com/knative/serving/releases/tag/knative-v1.18.0)
### 🚨 Breaking or Notable Changes
- Kubernetes min version is now v1.31 ([#15774](https://github.com/knative/serving/pull/15774), [@dprotaso](https://github.com/dprotaso))
### 💫 New Features & Changes
- Add the ability to use `mountPropagation` for `volumeMounts`, gated under kubernetes.podspec-volumes-mount-propagation ([#15758](https://github.com/knative/serving/pull/15758), [@elijah-rou](https://github.com/elijah-rou))
- Adding support for CSI (Container Storage Interface) volumes. This feature allows users to mount CSI-compatible storage volumes into their Knative service containers. It enables integration with enterprise storage solutions and cloud provider storage services that implement the CSI specification. The feature is behind the flag `kubernetes.podspec-volumes-csi`. ([#15815](https://github.com/knative/serving/pull/15815), [@mwritescode](https://github.com/mwritescode))
- Autoscaling: ignore ScaleDownDelay if the revision is not reachable ([#15831](https://github.com/knative/serving/pull/15831), [@scottjmaddox](https://github.com/scottjmaddox))
- Support exec readiness probes for sidecar containers ([#15773](https://github.com/knative/serving/pull/15773), [@flomedja](https://github.com/flomedja))
### 🐞 Bug Fixes
- Fixes revision timeout defaulting when identical values are present in timeout settings. ([#15617](https://github.com/knative/serving/pull/15617), [@skonto](https://github.com/skonto))
## Eventing
**Original notes**: [Knative Eventing 1.18](https://github.com/knative/eventing/releases/tag/knative-v1.18.0)
### 💫 New Features & Changes
- Add EventTransform API CRD. ([#8456](https://github.com/knative/eventing/pull/8456), [@pierDipi](https://github.com/pierDipi))
- Add EventTransform API types. ([#8447](https://github.com/knative/eventing/pull/8447), [@pierDipi](https://github.com/pierDipi))
- Add `sinks.knative.dev` to namespaced ClusterRoles ([#8432](https://github.com/knative/eventing/pull/8432), [@pierDipi](https://github.com/pierDipi))
- Allow storage-version-migration job to successfully run when optional CRDs are not installed (inmemorychannels, etc). ([#8510](https://github.com/knative/eventing/pull/8510), [@PinotNoir04](https://github.com/PinotNoir04))
- ContainerSource now compares the entire `PodTemplateSpec`, instead of just its `PodSpec`. This avoids loosing edits on metadata, like annotations ([#8558](https://github.com/knative/eventing/pull/8558), [@matzew](https://github.com/matzew))
- EventTransform: Support transforming response from Sink ([#8469](https://github.com/knative/eventing/pull/8469), [@pierDipi](https://github.com/pierDipi))
- Reduce `mt-broker-controller` memory usage with namespaced endpoint informer. ([#8418](https://github.com/knative/eventing/pull/8418), [@pierDipi](https://github.com/pierDipi))
- SinkBinding: Set specific conditions for reconciler steps: `SinkBindingAvailable` and `TrustBundlePropagated` ([#8508](https://github.com/knative/eventing/pull/8508), [@pierDipi](https://github.com/pierDipi))
- TLS / Cert Manager integration for IntegrationSink ([#8509](https://github.com/knative/eventing/pull/8509), [@matzew](https://github.com/matzew))
Update k8s version in e2e tests ([#8503](https://github.com/knative/eventing/pull/8503), [@dsimansk](https://github.com/dsimansk))
