+# Release notes for v3.1.0
+
+[Documentation](https://kubernetes-csi.github.io)
+
+# Changelog since v3.0.0
+
+## Changes by Kind
+
+### Feature
+ - Introduces `HonorPVReclaimPolicy` feature gate that ensures PV honors the Reclaim policy irrespective of deletion order. ([#679](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/external-provisioner/pull/679), [@deepakkinni](https://github.com/deepakkinni))
+ - This release update brings the csi-translation-lib migration support for  in-tree plugin Ceph RBD ( `kubernetes.io/rbd`) to `rbd.csi.ceph.com` CSI driver and Portworx (`kubernetes.io/portworx-volume`)  in-tree plugin to `pxd.portworx.com` CSI driver. ([#689](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/external-provisioner/pull/689), [@humblec](https://github.com/humblec))
+
+### Bug or Regression
+ - Add getCapacity request timeout to avoid hang forever ([#688](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/external-provisioner/pull/688), [@bai3shuo4](https://github.com/bai3shuo4))
+ - Fixed retry of CreateVolume calls when the storage backend runs out of space. Such calls won't be repeated when user deletes corresponding PVC. ([#675](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/external-provisioner/pull/675), [@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane))
