    Warning  Failed   7m11s (x2 over 7m33s) kubelet          spec.containers{nginx}: Failed to pull image "nginx": failed to pull and unpack image... ([#133627](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/133627), [@itzPranshul](https://github.com/itzPranshul)) [SIG CLI]

- kube-apiserver now reloads the `--authorization-config` file when it changes. Reloads increment the `apiserver_authorization_config_controller_automatic_reload_last_timestamp_seconds` timestamp metric, with `status="success"` for successful reloads and `status="failed"` for failed reloads. Failed reloads keep using the previously loaded authorization configuration.

- Fixed a bug where pv recycler failed to scrub volume with too many files in the directory due to hitting ARG_MAX limit with rm command (#117189). ([#117283](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117283), [@defo89](https://github.com/defo89)) [SIG Cloud Provider and Storage]

* change default azure file/dir mode to 0755 ([#56551](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56551), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* fix incorrect error info when creating an azure file PVC failed ([#56550](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56550), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))

- Fixed a regression in 1.32 where nodes could fail to report status and renew serving certificates after the kubelet restarted. ([#130348](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130348), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))

- Kube-apiserver: the `--encryption-provider-config` file is now loaded with strict deserialization, which fails if the config file contains duplicate or unknown fields. This protects against accidentally running with config files that are malformed, mis-indented, or have typos in field names, and getting unexpected behavior. When `--encryption-provider-config-automatic-reload` is used, new encryption config files that contain typos after the kube-apiserver is running are treated as...

- Fixed occasional pod cgroup freeze when using cgroup v1 and systemd driver.

  * The `--audit-policy-file` option is required if the `AdvancedAuditing` feature is not explicitly turned off (`--feature-gates=AdvancedAuditing=false`) on the API server.
  * The audit log file defaults to JSON encoding when using the advanced auditing feature gate.
  * An audit policy file without either an `apiVersion` or a `kind` field may be treated as invalid.
  * The webhook and log file now output the `v1beta1` event format.

* Fixes a case when Deployment with recreate strategy could get stuck on old failed Pod. ([#60301](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60301), [@tnozicka](https://github.com/tnozicka))

- Fixed Route controller to update routes when NodeIP changes ([#108095](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108095), [@lzhecheng](https://github.com/lzhecheng))
- Fixed `DaemonSet` to update the status even if it fails to create a pod. ([#113787](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113787), [@gjkim42](https://github.com/gjkim42))
