# v1.14 Pending Release Notes

## Breaking Changes

- The minimum supported version of Kubernetes is v1.25.
  Upgrade to Kubernetes v1.25 or higher before upgrading Rook.
- The Rook operator config `CSI_ENABLE_READ_AFFINITY` was removed. v1.13 clusters that have modified
  this value to be `"true"` must set the option as desired in each CephCluster as documented
  [here](https://rook.github.io/docs/rook/v1.14/CRDs/Cluster/ceph-cluster-crd/#csi-driver-options)
  before upgrading to v1.14.
- Rook is beginning the process of deprecating CSI network "holder" pods.
  If there are pods named `csi-*plugin-holder-*` in the Rook operator namespace, see the
  [detailed documentation](./Documentation/CRDs/Cluster/network-providers.md#holder-pod-deprecation)
  to disable them. This is optional for v1.14, but will be required in a future release.
