- The PodDisruptionBudget API has been promoted to policy/v1 with no schema changes. The only functional change is that an empty selector (`{}`) written to a policy/v1 PodDisruptionBudget now selects all pods in the namespace. The behavior of the policy/v1beta1 API remains unchanged. The policy/v1beta1 PodDisruptionBudget API is deprecated and will no longer be served in 1.25+. ([#99290](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99290), [...

* kubectl port-forward now allows using resource name (e.g., deployment/www) to select a matching pod, as well as the use of --pod-running-timeout to wait until at least one pod is running. ([#59705](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59705), [@phsiao](https://github.com/phsiao))

### API Change

- A fix in the `resource.k8s.io/v1alpha1/ResourceClaim` API avoids harmless (?) ".status.reservedFor: element 0: associative list without keys has an element that's a map type" errors in the apiserver. Validation now rejects the incorrect reuse of the same UID in different entries. ([#115354](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115354), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))

- Fix a bug that when PodTopologySpread rejects Pods, they may be stuck in Pending state for 5 min in a worst case scenario.
  The same problem could happen with custom plugins which have Pod/Add or Pod/Update in EventsToRegister,

### Bug or Regression

* kubeadm now detects the Docker cgroup driver and starts the kubelet with the matching driver. This eliminates a common error experienced by new users in when the Docker cgroup driver is not the same as the one set for the kubelet due to different Linux distributions...

- Added validation to reject Pods using the `PodLevelResources` feature on Windows OS due to lack of support. The API server rejects Pods with Pod-level resources and a `Pod.spec.os.name` targeting Windows. Kubelet on nodes running Windows also rejects Pods with Pod-level resources at admission phase.
