- Fix cronjob controller handling of complex schedules, like "30 6-16/4 * * 1-5", for example ([#119139](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119139), [@kmala](https://github.com/kmala)) [SIG Apps]

es) feature allows any existing storage driver that supports dynamic provisioning to be used as an ephemeral volume with the volume’s lifecycle bound to the Pod. It can be used to provide scratch storage that is different from the root disk, for example persistent memory, or a separate local disk on that node. All StorageClass parameters for volume provisioning are supported. All features supported with PersistentVolumeClaims are supported, such as storage capacity tracking, snapshots and restore,...

- In text format, log messages that previously used quoting to prevent multi-line output (for example, text="some \"quotation\", a\nline break") will now be printed with more readable multi-line output without the escape sequences.

The new `multiPoint` plugin field is intended to simplify most scheduler setups for administrators.
Plugins that are enabled via `multiPoint` will automatically be registered for each individual extension point that they implement.
For example, a plugin that implements Score and Filter extensions can be simultaneously enabled for both.
This means entire plugins can be enabled and disabled without having to manually edit individual extension point settings.

  - A `create` or `update` API request with duplicate items in a keyed list no longer wipes out managedFields. Examples include env var entries with the same name, or port entries with the same containerPort in a pod spec.
