- Fixed an issue in the Windows kube-proxy (winkernel) where IPv4 and IPv6 Service load balancers could be incorrectly shared, causing broken dual-stack Service behavior. The kube-proxy now tracks load balancers per IP family, enabling correct support for PreferDualStack and RequireDualStack Services on Windows nodes.
