* Websocket requests may now authenticate to the API server by passing a bearer token in a websocket subprotocol of the form `base64url.bearer.authorization.k8s.io.<base64url-encoded-bearer-token>`. ([#47740](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/47740), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

  - Different configuration types can be supplied all in the same file separated by `---`.
- Improved CRI handling
  - crictl is no longer required in docker-only setups.
  - Better detection of installed CRI.
  - Better output for image pull errors.
- Improved air-gapped and offline support
  - kubeadm now handles air-gapped environments by using the local client version as a fallback.

- Updated max azure data disk count map with new VM types. ([#111406](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111406), [@bennerv](https://github.com/bennerv))

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Service session affinity timeout tests are no longer required for Kubernetes network plugin conformance due to variations in existing implementations. New conformance tests will be developed to better express conformance in future releases. ([#112806](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112806), [@dcbw](https://github.com/dcbw)) [SIG Architecture, Network and Testing]

## Dependencies

### Added

* Added a new secret type "bootstrap.kubernetes.io/token" for dynamically creating TLS bootstrapping bearer tokens. ([#41281](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41281), [@ericchiang](https://github.com/ericchiang))

### Service

### Bug or Regression

- Added jitter factor to lease controller that better smears load on kube-apiserver over time. ([#101652](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101652), [@marseel](https://github.com/marseel)) [SIG API Machinery and Scalability]

* Fix bug allowing garbage collector to enter a broken state that could only be fixed by restarting the controller-manager. ([#61201](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61201), [@jennybuckley](https://github.com/jennybuckley))
