* Fix VMSS LoadBalancer backend pools so that the network won't be broken when instances are upgraded to latest model ([#81411](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81411), [@nilo19](https://github.com/nilo19))

    * Custom apiservers built with the latest apiserver library will have the 100MB limit on the body of resource requests as well. The limit can be altered via ServerRunOptions.MaxRequestBodyBytes.

- Dropped archived dependency: Removed the deprecated and archived dependency: github.com/pkg/errors in favor of standard Go error handling.

### Bug or Regression

- Fix missing delete events on informer re-lists to ensure all delete events are correctly emitted and using the latest known object state, so that all event handlers and stores always reflect the actual apiserver state as best as possible ([#115900](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115900), [@odinuge](https://github.com/odinuge)) [SIG API Machinery]

- Added a alpha feature, behind the `RelaxedEnvironmentVariableValidation` feature gate.
  When that gate is enabled, Kubernetes allows almost all printable ASCII characters to be used in the names
  of environment variables for containers in Pods. ([#123385](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123385), [@HirazawaUi](https://github.com/HirazawaUi))

  Server-side apply now considers `.spec.defaultBackend` to be an atomic struct.  This means that any field-owner who sets values in that struct (they are mutually exclusive) owns the whole struct. For almost all users this change has no impact; for controllers that want to change the default backend port from number to name (or vice-versa), this makes it easier.

- Remove offensive words from kubectl cluster-info command. ([#95202](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95202), [@rikatz](https://github.com/rikatz))
- Remove support for "ci/k8s-master" version label in kubeadm, use "ci/latest" instead. See [kubernetes/test-infra#18517](https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/pull/18517). ([#93626](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/93626), [@vikkyomkar](https://github.com/vikkyomkar))
