- [`KT-60717`](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-60717) Kotlin Gradle Plugin violates Project Isolation restrictions by dynamically looking up properties in the project

* Add official Microsoft project generator for [serving spaCy with FastAPI and Azure Cognitive Skills](https://github.com/microsoft/cookiecutter-spacy-fastapi) to [Project Generators](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/project-generation/). PR [#1390](https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/pull/1390) by [@kabirkhan](https://github.com/kabirkhan).

Version 2 of the HorizontalPodAutoscaler API graduates to stable in the 1.23 release. The HorizontalPodAutoscaler `autoscaling/v2beta2` API is deprecated in favor of the new `autoscaling/v2` API, which the Kubernetes project recommends for all use cases.

This release does *not* deprecate the v1 HorizontalPodAutoscaler API.

### Generic Ephemeral Volume feature graduates to GA

< 1.24 with kubeadm >= 1.24. Remove the DockerValidor and ServiceCheck for the `docker` service from kubeadm preflight. Docker is no longer special cased during host validation and ideally this task should be done in the now external cri-dockerd project where the importance of the compatibility matters. Use `crictl` for all communication with CRI sockets for actions like pulling images and obtaining a list of running containers instead of using the docker CLI in the case of Docker. ([#107317](ht...

- Introducing Memory quality of service support with `cgroups v2 (Alpha)`. The `MemoryQoS` feature is now in Alpha. This allows `kubelet` running with `cgroups v2` to set memory QoS at container, pod and QoS level to protect and guarantee better memory quality. This feature can be enabled through feature gate Memory QoS. ([#102970](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102970), [@borgerli](https://github.com/borgerli))

### Structured Logging in Kubelet

Kubelet has adopted structured logging, thanks to community effort in accomplishing this within the release timeline. Structured logging in the project remains an ongoing effort -- for folks interested in participating, [keep an eye / chime in to the mailing list discussion](https://groups.google.com/g/kubernetes-dev/c/y4WIw-ntUR8).

### Storage Capacity Tracking

- Number of errors reported to the metric `storage_operation_duration_seconds_count` for emptyDir decreased significantly because previously one error was reported for each projected volume created.

  This release adds a feature to hash the `KeyID` values in the logs. The `KeyID` values are sensitive information that should not be exposed in plain text in the logs. By hashing the `KeyID` values, we can protect the confidentiality of the data while still being able to log the necessary information.
