- 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))

* rbd: default image format to v2 instead of deprecated v1 ([#51574](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51574), [@dillaman](https://github.com/dillaman))
* Surface reasonable error when client detects connection closed. ([#51381](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51381), [@mengqiy](https://github.com/mengqiy))

### 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,

* 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...

### Bug or Regression

- The API server now detects and fails on startup if there are conflicting issuers between JWT authenticators and service account configurations. Previously, such configurations would run but could be inconsistently effective depending on the credential. ([#123561](https://g...

- 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.
