### Feature

- A client-go metric, rest_client_exec_plugin_call_total, has been added to track total calls to client-go credential plugins. ([#98892](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98892), [@ankeesler](https://github.com/ankeesler)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, Cluster Lifecycle and Instrumentation]

- Fix a bug in cronjob controller where already created jobs...

* Registries backed by the generic Store's `Update` implementation support delete-on-update, which allows resources to be automatically deleted during an update provided: ([#48065](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48065), [@ironcladlou](https://github.com/ironcladlou))...

- Replace `go-bindata` with `//go:embed`. ([#99829](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99829), [@palnabarun](https://github.com/palnabarun))
- The `DynamicFakeClient` now exposes its tracker via a `Tracker()` function. ([#100085](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100085), [@markusthoemmes](https://github.com/markusthoemmes))

- When feature gate `JobTrackingWithFinalizers` is enabled:
  - Limit the number of Pods tracked in a single Job sync to avoid starvation of small Jobs.
  - The metric `job_pod_finished_total` counts the number of finished Pods tracked by the Job controller. ([#105197](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105197), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor))

- 'Graduated `JobTrackingWithFinalizers` to stable.
  Jobs created before the feature was enabled are still tracked without finalizers.
  Jobs tracked with finalizers have the annotation batch.kubernetes.io/job-tracking.
  If the annotation is present and the user attempts to remove it, the control plane adds it back.
