- kubeadm: Added better handling of errors during unmount when calling `kubeadm reset`. When failing to unmount directories under `/var/run/kubelet`, kubeadm will now throw an error instead of showing a warning and continuing to clean up said directory. In such situations, it is better for you to inspect the problem and resolve it manually. Then, you can call `kubeadm reset` again to complete the cleanup....

- EndpointSlice controller now handles terminating pods correctly and is better at preventing race conditions. ([#89118](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89118), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott)) [SIG Apps and Network]

- The getters for the field name and typeDescription of the Reflector struct were renamed. ([#128035](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128035), [@alexanderstephan](https://github.com/alexanderstephan)) [SIG API Machinery]

  - 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.

### 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]

### Node

### 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.

### API Change

#### New API types/versions:
- A new IngressClass resource has been added to enable better Ingress configuration. ([#88509](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88509), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, CLI, Network, Node and Testing]

  So, if you want to just keep the existing behavior, you can register `ClusterEventWithHint` with no `QueueingHintFn` in it. 
  But, registering appropriate `QueueingHintFn` is, of course, better from a scheduling performance perspective. ([#118551](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118551), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho)) [SIG Node, Scheduling, Storage and Testing]
