`sync_partial_proxy_rules_duration_seconds` (in addition to the existing\n`sync_proxy_rules_duration_seconds`),
  giving better information about the duration of each \nsync type, rather than
  only giving a weighted average of the two sync types together. ([#117787](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117787), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship))
- `kubeadm`: added a new "kubeadm config validate" command that can be used to

    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_demand_seats_high_watermark`: High watermark, over last adjustment period, of demand_seats
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_demand_seats_average`: Time-weighted average, over last adjustment period, of demand_seats
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_demand_seats_stdev`: Time-weighted standard deviation, over last adjustment period, of demand_seats

- This PR will leverage subtests on the existing table tests for the scheduler units. ([#63665](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63665), [@xchapter7x](https://github.com/xchapter7x))

* Improve our Instance Metadata coverage in Azure. ([#49237](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/49237), [@brendandburns](https://github.com/brendandburns))

- The kubeconfig is now exposed in `the kube-scheduler` framework handle. Out-of-tree plugins can leverage that to build CRD informers easily. ([#100644](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100644), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei))

* Implement kubectl rollout undo and history for DaemonSet ([#46144](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/46144), [@janetkuo](https://github.com/janetkuo))
* Respect PDBs during node upgrades and add test coverage to the ServiceTest upgrade test. ([#45748](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45748), [@mml](https://github.com/mml))

*   You can now add "options" to the host's /etc/resolv.conf (or --resolv-conf), and they will be copied into pod's resolv.conf when dnsPolicy is Default. Being able to customize options is important because it is common to leverage options to fine-tune the behavior of DNS client.

**Affected Versions**:
  - kube-apiserver v1.31.0 - v1.31.11
  - kube-apiserver v1.32.0 - v1.32.7

- Hack/update-codegen.sh now automatically ensured goimports and protoc. ([#131459](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/131459), [@BenTheElder](https://github.com/BenTheElder))
- Increased test coverage for kubelet package to 92.3%. ([#132484](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132484), [@ylink-lfs](https://github.com/ylink-lfs))

#### Continuous Improvement
- Project sustainability is not just about features. Many SIGs have been working on  improving test coverage, ensuring the basics stay reliable, and stability of the core feature set and working on maturing existing features and cleaning up the backlog.

#### Extensibility
