### Garbage Collector
* Added foreground garbage collection: the owner object will not be deleted until all its dependents are deleted by the garbage collector. Please checkout the [user doc](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/abstractions/controllers/garbage-collection/) for details. ([#38676](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/38676), [@caesarxuchao](https://github.com/caesarxuchao))

- Tests: Switched to https://go.dev/doc/go1.25#container-aware-gomaxprocs from `go.uber.org/automaxprocs`. ([#133492](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/133492), [@BenTheElder](https://github.com/BenTheElder))

## What's New (Major Themes)

### Deprecation of FlexVolume

FlexVolume is deprecated. Out-of-tree CSI driver is the recommended way to write volume drivers in Kubernetes.
See [this doc](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/sig-storage/volume-plugin-faq.md#kubernetes-volume-plugin-faq-for-storage-vendors) for more information.

* Support for Huge pages in empty_dir volume plugin ([#50072](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50072), [@squall0gd](https://github.com/squall0gd))
    * [Huge pages](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/vm/hugetlbpage.txt) can now be used with empty dir volume plugin.
* Alpha support for pre-allocated hugepages ([#50859](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50859), [@derekwaynecarr](https://github.com/derekwaynecarr))

* The kube-apiserver openapi doc now includes extensions identifying `APIService` and `CustomResourceDefinition` `kind`s ([#64174](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64174), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- Kubernetes 1.24 is built with go1.18, which will no longer validate certificates signed with a SHA-1 hash algorithm by default. See https://golang.org/doc/go1.18#sha1 for more details. If you are using certificates like this in admission or conversion ([#109024](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109024), [@stlaz](https://github.com/stlaz))
