- kube-apiserver `--egress-selector-config-file` files were validated strictly (EnableStrict). Duplicate and unknown fields in the configuration will now cause an error. ([#128011](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128011),...

- Fixed a bug that prevents kubectl to validate CRDs with schema using x-kubernetes-preserve-unknown-fields on object fields.
  Fix kubectl SchemaError on CRDs with schema using x-kubernetes-preserve-unknown-fields on array types. ([#96563](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96563), [@gautierdelorme](https://github.com/gautierdelorme)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]

* Fixes a bug in openapi published for custom resources using x-kubernetes-preserve-unknown-fields extensions, so that kubectl will allow sending unknown fields for that portion of the object. ([#79636](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/79636), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- Implemented logging and event recording for probe results with an `Unknown` status in the kubelet's prober module. This helped improve the diagnosis and monitoring of cases where container probes returned an `Unknown` result, enhancing the observability and reliability of health checks.

- Kubeadm: improve the strict parsing of user YAML/JSON configuration files. Next to printing warnings for unknown and duplicate fields (current state), also print warnings for fields with incorrect case sensitivity - e.g. `controlPlaneEndpoint` (valid), `ControlPlaneEndpoint` (invalid). Instead of only printing warnings during `init` and `join` also print warnings...
