* Make kubelet ReadLogs backward compatible. ([#63268](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63268), [@Random-Liu](https://github.com/Random-Liu))

  * Rescheduler relies on taints, which were changed in a backward incompatible way. Rescheduler 0.3 shipped together with Kubernetes 1.6 understands the new taints and will clean up the old annotations, but Rescheduler 0.2 shipped together with Kubernetes 1.5 doesn't understand the new taints. In order to avoid...

- Updated google.golang.org/protobuf to `v1.33.0` to resolve `CVE-2024-24786`. ([#123758](https://github.com/kubernetes/ku...

### Feature

- ACTION REQUIRED : In CoreDNS v1.7.0, [metrics names have been changed](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/blob/master/notes/coredns-1.7.0.md#metric-changes) which will be backward incompatible with existing reporting formulas that use the old metrics' names. Adjust your formulas to the new names before upgrading. 
  
  Kubeadm now includes CoreDNS version v1.7.0. Some of the major changes include:

*   The admission webhook configurations API, part of the admissionregistration API, is now at v1beta1. Delete any existing webhook configurations before you upgrade, and update your configuration files to use the latest API. For...

  // HTTPGet specifies the http request to perform.
  // +optional
  optional HTTPGetAction httpGet = 2;

  // Deprecated. TCPSocket is NOT supported as a LifecycleHandler and kept
  // for the backward compatibility. There are no validation of this field and
  // lifecycle hooks will fail in runtime when tcp handler is specified.
  // +optional
  optional TCPSocketAction tcpSocket = 3;
}

imaginary_lit = (decimal_digits | int_lit | float_lit) "i" .
</pre>

<p>
For backward compatibility, an imaginary literal's integer part consisting
entirely of decimal digits (and possibly underscores) is considered a decimal
integer, even if it starts with a leading <code>0</code>.

0i
0123i         // == 123i for backward-compatibility
0o123i        // == 0o123 * 1i == 83i
0xabci        // == 0xabc * 1i == 2748i

    * Add metrics `*_admission_latencies_milliseconds` and `*_admission_latencies_milliseconds_summary` for backward compatible, but will be removed in a future release.

  
  Having appropriate QueueingHintFn contributes to reducing useless retries and thus improves the overall scheduler's performance.
  
  **How can I migrate?**
  
  For backward compatibility, nil `QueueingHintFn` is treated as always returning QueueAfterBackoff. 
  So, if you want to just keep the existing behavior, you can register `ClusterEventWithHint` with no `QueueingHintFn` in it. 

- Dropped the additional rule requirement (cronjobs/finalizers) for roles
  using kubectl create cronjobs to ensure backward compatibility. ([#124883](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124883), [@ardaguclu](https://github.com/ardaguclu))
