- Kube-scheduler now retries scheduling Pods rejected by the PodTopologySpread plugin when related Pods are created, deleted, updated, or when a node matches the specified topologyKey. ([#122195](https://github.com/...

- Fixed a bug in kube-proxy nftables mode (GA as of 1.33) that fails to determine if traffic originates from a local source on the node. The issue was caused by using the wrong meta `iif` instead of `iifname` for name based matches. ([#134117](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134117),...

incorrect.  If watching objects with a filter, when an update was made that no longer matched the filter a DELETE event was correctly sent.  However, the object that was returned by that delete was not the (correct) version before the update, but instead, the newer version.  That meant the new object was not matched by the filter.  This was a regression from behavior between cached watches on the server side and uncached watches, and thus broke downstream API clients. ([#46223](https://github.com/kuberne...

### Feature

- 'kubeadm: enhanced the "patches" functionality to be able to patch coredns
  deployment. The new patch target is called "corednsdeployment" (e.g. patch file
  "corednsdeployment+json.json"). This makes it possible to apply custom patches

  - https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/pull/4911: Drop support for a very old, legacy style of patches. patches used to be allowed to be used as an alias for patchesStrategicMerge in kustomize v3. You now have to use patchesStrategicMerge explicitly, or update to the new syntax supported by patches. See examples in the PR description of https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/pull/4911.

   * The main mime type should be the canonical one, use aliases for any
     other widely used forms
   * Where there's a hierarchy in the types, list it via a parent
   * Highly specific magic matches get a high priority
   * General magic matches which could trigger a false-positive need
     a low one
   * The priority for containers normally need to be higher than for
     the things they contain, so they don't accidently get detected

 - The flag `--experimental-patches` is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. You can migrate to using the new flag `--patches`. Add a new field `{Init|Join}Configuration.patches.directory` that can be used for the same purpose. For `init` and `join` it is now recommended that you migrate to configure patches via `{Init|Join}Configuration.patches.directory`. For the time being, these flags can be mixed with `--config`, but that...
