- The feature gate was mentioned as `csiMigrationRBD` where it should have been `CSIMigrationRBD` to be in parity with other migration plugins. This release correct the same and keep it as `CSIMigrationRBD`.
  
  users who have configured this feature gate as `csiMigrationRBD` has to reconfigure the same to `CSIMigrationRBD` from this release. ([#107554](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107554), [@humblec](https://github.com/humblec)) [SIG Storage]

* Add masquerading rules by default to GCE/GKE ([#55178](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55178), [@dnardo](https://github.com/dnardo))
* kubeadm now produces error during preflight checks if swap is enabled. Users, who can setup kubelet to run in unsupported environment with enabled swap, will be able to skip that preflight check. ([#55399](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55399), [@kad](https://github.com/kad))

* Alpha Initializers have been removed from kubeadm admission control.  Kubeadm users who still want to use Initializers can use apiServerExtraArgs through the kubeadm config file to enable it when booting up the cluster.

when asking for "All" devices on a node, Kubernetes <= 1.32 proceeded to schedule pods onto nodes with no devices by not allocating any devices for those pods. Kubernetes 1.33 changes that to only picking nodes which have at least one device. Users who want the "proceed with scheduling also without devices" semantic can use the upcoming prioritized list feature with one sub-request for "all" devices and a second alternative with "count: 0".

- Changed how the API server handles updates to `.spec.defaultBackend` of Ingress objects.

For stable features, the `kubectl` tool follows the Kubernetes [version skew policy](https://kubernetes.io/releases/version-skew-policy/);
however, kubectl v1.21 and older do not support the new API for ephemeral containers.

discovery now includes the singularName used to refer to the resource. ([#43312](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/43312), [@deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k))

* Enhance the garbage collection admission plugin so that a user who doesn't have delete permission of the owning object cannot modify the blockOwnerDeletion field of existing ownerReferences, or add new ownerReferences with blockOwnerDeletion=true ([#43876](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/43876), [@ca...

- Kubeadm: when using a custom image repository for CoreDNS kubeadm now will append the "coredns"  image name instead of  "coredns/coredns", thus restoring the behaviour existing before the v1.21 release. Users who rely on nested folder for the coredns image should set the "clusterConfiguration.dns.imageRepository" value including the nested path name (e.g using "registry.company.xyz/coredns" will force kubeadm to use "registry.company.xyz/coredns/coredns" image)....
