- The bug which caused the status of Indexed Jobs to only update when new indexes were completed was fixed. Now, completed indexes are updated even if the `.status.completedIndexes` values are outside the `[0, .spec.completions> range`.

- Support for Indexed Job: a Job that is considered completed when Pods associated to indexes from 0 to (.spec.completions-1) have succeeded. ([#98812](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98812), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor)) [SIG Apps and CLI]

- Added a detailed event for in-place pod vertical scaling completed, improving cluster management and debugging. ([#130387](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130387), [@shiya0705](https://github.com/shiya0705)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Autoscaling, Node, Scheduling and Testing]

- Reverts graceful node shutdown to match 1.21 behavior of setting pods that have not yet successfully completed to "Failed" phase if the GracefulNodeShutdown feature is enabled in kubelet. The GracefulNodeShutdown feature is beta and must be explicitly configured via kubelet config to be enabled in 1.21+. This changes 1.22 and 1.23 behavior on node shutdown...

  * kubectl describe no longer prints the last-applied-configuration annotation for secrets. ([#34664](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/34664), [@ymqytw](https://github.com/ymqytw))
  * Completed pods should not be hidden when requested by name via `kubectl get`. ([#42216](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/42216), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))

- Added completed job status in Cron Job event. ([#75712](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/75712), [@danielqsj](https://github.com/danielqsj))

* The supported etcd server version is 3.1.12, as compared to 3.1.10 in v1.9 ([#60998](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60998))

- Fixed bug which caused the status of Indexed Jobs to only be updated when there are newly completed indexes. The completed indexes are now updated if the .status.completedIndexes has values outside of the [0, .spec.completions> range ([#115457](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115457), [@danielvegamyhre](https://github.com/danielvegamyhre)) [SIG...

- Terminated Pods on a node will not be re-admitted on kubelet restart. This fixes the problem of Completed Pods awaiting for the finalizer marked as Failed after the kubelet restart.
