⚠️ Breaking Changes

[USER] The default NAT mapping has changed to endpoint-dependent. Existing connections should not be interrupted but users will need to adapt their configuration if they want to keep Endpoint-Independent Mapping for their CloudNAT instance. (gardener/gardener-extension-provider-gcp#571, @kon-angelo)

[USER] Users can now specify whether they want to enable or disable Endpoint-Independent Mapping. (gardener/gardener-extension-provider-gcp#571, @kon-angelo)
[OPERATOR] csi-driver-node is annotated with the wait-for-csi-node annotation. Gardener uses this to only schedule workload pods to a Node once the driver has been successfully registered with the CSINode object. (gardener/gardener-extension-provider-gcp#567, @SimonKienzler)
[OPERATOR] The csi-snapshot-validation Service deployed by the provider-gcp extension can now be topology-aware (depending on the Seed setting and the Shoot HA failure tolerance type). For more details, see the Topology-aware Traffic Routing documentation. (gardener/gardener-extension-provider-gcp#574, @ialidzhikov)

[OPERATOR] An issue has been fixed which caused undesired PATCH requests when updating the state in the Worker or ShootState resources. (gardener/gardener-extension-provider-gcp#580, @oliver-goetz)
[OPERATOR] The stale healthcheck conditions from the extension are now properly cleaned up. (gardener/gardener-extension-provider-gcp#575, @acumino)

[OPERATOR] The gardener-extension-admission-gcp Service in the gardener-extension-admission-gcp chart can now be configured to be topology-aware. (gardener/gardener-extension-provider-gcp#582, @ialidzhikov)
[OPERATOR] Disable SNAT to the upstream dns server for non-overlay shoot cluster. (gardener/gardener-extension-provider-gcp#556, @DockToFuture)
[OPERATOR] Adapted extension components to support the FullNetworkPoliciesInRuntimeCluster feature gate introduced by gardener/gardener v1.66, see here and #7352 for more information. (gardener/gardener-extension-provider-gcp#566, @oliver-goetz)
[OPERATOR] Update csi-driver version v1.7.3 -> v1.9.1 (gardener/gardener-extension-provider-gcp#572, @kon-angelo)
[DEVELOPER] Update to Go 1.19.7. (gardener/gardener-extension-provider-gcp#565, @oliver-goetz)

[USER] An edge case where all the machineSets were scaled down to zero has been dealt with. (gardener/machine-controller-manager#804, @himanshu-kun)

[OPERATOR] Update TF_VERSION 0.15.5 -> 1.3.9 and update how the local providers are fetched and stored to be compatible with the latest TF specification. (gardener/terraformer#133, @kon-angelo)
