* Deployments are updated to use (1) a more stable hashing algorithm (fnv) than the previous one (adler) and (2) a hashing collision avoidance mechanism that will ensure new rollouts will not block on hashing collisions anymore.

- Hashing of KeyID in Logs
  

- Fixed a regression that the scheduler always goes through all Filter plugins. ([#114518](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114518), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei))

* Allow having empty paths in *path operations* used with `include_router` and a `prefix`.
    * This allows having a router for `/cats` and all its *path operations*, while having one of them for `/cats`.
    * Now it doesn't have to be only `/cats/` (with a trailing slash).

- Fixed an EndpointSlice Controller hashing bug that could cause EndpointSlices to incorrectly handle Pods with duplicate IP addresses. For example this could happen when a new Pod reused an IP that was also assigned to a Pod in a completed state. ([#115907](https://github.com/kubernetes/k...

- Kubeadm: prevent potential hanging of commands such as "kubeadm reset" if the apiserver endpoint is not reachable. ([#84648](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/84648), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))

- Kubeadm: deprecate self-hosting support. The experimental command "kubeadm alpha self-hosting" is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. ([#95125](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95125), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

* Allows kubectl to use http caching mechanism for the OpenAPI schema. The cache directory can be configured through `--cache-dir` command line flag to kubectl. If set to empty string, caching will be disabled. ([#50404](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50404), [@apelisse](https://github.com/apelisse))
