#### kubectl:

- GCE Internal LoadBalancer sync loop will now release the ILB IP address upon sync failure. An error in ILB forwarding rule creation will no longer leak IP addresses. ([#97740](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97740), [@prameshj](https://github.com/prameshj)) [SIG Cloud Provider and Network]

## Dependencies

### Added

- The `--bind-address` parameter in kube-proxy is misleading, no port is opened with this address. Instead it is translated internally to "nodeIP". The nodeIPs for both families are now taken from the Node object if `--bind-address` is unspecified or set to the "any" address (0.0.0.0 or ::). It is recommended to leave `--bind-address` unspecified, and in particular avoid to set it to localhost (127.0.0.1 or ::1) ([#119525...

- When the `StrictIPCIDRValidation` feature gate is enabled, Kubernetes will be
  slightly stricter about what values will be accepted as IP addresses and network
  address ranges (“CIDR blocks”).
  
  In particular, octets within IPv4 addresses are not allowed to have any leading
  `0`s, and IPv4-mapped IPv6 values (e.g. `::ffff:192.168.0.1`) are forbidden.

* Fixed GlusterFS volumes taking too long to time out ([#48709](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48709), [@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane))
* The IP address and port for kube-proxy metrics server is now configurable via flag `--metrics-bind-address` ([#48625](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48625), [@mrhohn](https://github.com/mrhohn))
  * Special notice for kube-proxy in 1.7+ (including 1.7.0):

- Kube-apiserver: the insecure address flags `--address`, `--insecure-bind-address`, `--port` and `--insecure-port` (inert since 1.20) are removed ([#106859](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106859), [@knight42](https://github.com/knight42))

--require-kubeconfig flag, removed default --kubeconfig value (([#58367](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58367), [@zhangxiaoyu-zidif](https://github.com/zhangxiaoyu-zidif))

* The public-address-override, address, and port flags have been removed and replaced by bind-address, insecure-bind-address, and insecure-port, respectively. They are marked as deprecated in [#36604](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/36604), which is more than a year ago.  ([#59018](https://github.com/kub...

that additional persistent storage is available everywhere in the cluster and has infinite capacity. Topology constraints addressed the first point, but up to now pod scheduling was still done without considering that the remaining storage capacity may not be enough to start a new pod. [Storage capacity tracking](https://docs.k8s.io/concepts/storage/storage-capacity/) addresses that by adding an API for a CSI driver to report storage capacity and uses that information in the Kubernetes scheduler when...

- Added warnings to the Services API. Kubernetes now warns for Services in the case of:
  - IPv4 addresses with leading zeros
  - IPv6 address in non-canonical format (RFC 5952) ([#114505](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114505), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))
