[VOTE] Release CSI spec v1.12.0 (closes 2025 Oct 16)

[Saad Ali]

I've cut a v1.12.0-rc1 release for the CSI specification (candidate for v1.12.0): https://github.com/container-storage-interface/spec/releases/tag/v1.12.0-rc1

Please vote on releasing this candidate as CSI spec v1.12.0 by replying to this message.

The vote is open until 2025 Oct 16 5 PM PT.

The voting process is documented at: https://github.com/container-storage-interface/community/blob/master/governance.md#voting

I've compiled a preliminary list of changes between the v1.11.0 and v1.12.0 release:

Breaking changes/Deprecations:

• None

Additions:

• #586 - [Alpha] Add new GetSnapshot RPC.
• #588 - [GA] Move ControllerModifyVolume to GA

Clarifications/Corrections/Fixes:

• #597 -  Clarify that the INVALID_ARGUMENT error code for ControllerModifyVolume is safe to not retry (i.e. "infeasible")
• #591 - Documents the gRPC error code that should be returned for GetMetadataDelta when changed block tracking has not been enabled in the underlying storage subsystem.
• #580 - removes "optional" from the description of `GetVolumeGroupSnapshot` to reduce confusion.

Dependencies:

• #585 - Bump golang from 1.18 to 1.23

Full Changelog: https://github.com/container-storage-interface/spec/compare/v1.11.0...v1.12.0-rc1

Thanks for flagging, James. I created #600 to address this.

Given it is a nit, I'll cut 1.12 without it

[Saad Ali]

Thanks everyone! CSI v1.11.0 has been cut: https://github.com/container-storage-interface/spec/releases/tag/v1.12.0

[James DeFelice]

... v1.12.0

Thx, Saad
