- Fixed the issue where pod with ordinal number lower than the rolling partitioning number was being deleted it was coming up with updated image. ([#120731](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120731), [@adilGhaffarDev](https://github.com/adilGhaffarDev)) [SIG Apps and Testing]

- Adds a metric `apiserver_request_error_total` to kube-apiserver. This metric tallies the number of `request_errors` encountered by verb, group, version, resource, subresource, scope, component, and code. ([#83427](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83427), [@logicalhan](https://github.com/logicalhan))

- The `apiserver` exposes 4 new metrics that allow to track the status of the Service CIDRs allocations:
      - current number of available IPs per Service CIDR
      - current number of used IPs per Service CIDR
      - total number of allocation per Service CIDR
      - total number of allocation errors per ServiceCIDR ([#104119](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104119), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))

- Kubelet: Fixed the bug of getting the number of cpu when the number of cpu logical processors is more than 64 in windows ([#97378](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97378), [@hwdef](https://github.com/hwdef)) [SIG Node and Windows]

    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_nominal_limit_seats`: Nominal number of execution seats configured for each priority level
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_lower_limit_seats`: Configured lower bound on number of execution seats available to each priority level
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_upper_limit_seats`: Configured upper bound on number of execution seats available to each priority level

- DRA: When the prioritized list feature was used in a request and the resulting number of allocated devices exceeded the number of allowed devices per claim, the scheduler aborted the attempt to allocate devices early. Previously, it tried to many different combinations, which could take a long time. ([#130593](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130593),...

- kubeadm: fixed an issue where the wrong member list was being reported when removing an etcd member. ([#127650](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127650), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu))

### Bug or Regression

- Fixed a bug where a high churn of events was causing master instability by reducing the maximum number of objects (events) attached to a single etcd lease.
