- DRA Device Taints: Fixed toleration of `NoExecute`. Prior to this enhancement, tolerating a `NoExecute` did not work because the scheduler did not inform the eviction controller about the toleration, so the scheduled pod got evicted almost immediately. ([#134479](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134479), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG Apps, Node, Scheduling and Testing]

- 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))

- No-op and GC related updates to cluster trust bundles no longer require attest authorization when the `ClusterTrustBundleAttest` plugin is enabled. ([#120779](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120779), [@enj](https://github.com/enj))

  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.

* Change `kubeadm create token` to default to the group that almost everyone will want to use.  The group is system:bootstrappers:kubeadm:default-node-token and is the group that kubeadm sets up, via an RBAC binding, for auto-approval (system:certificates.k8s.io:certificatesigningrequests:nodeclient).

* Add API version apps/v1, and bump DaemonSet to apps/v1 ([#53278](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53278), [@janetkuo](https://github.com/janetkuo))
