- Fix handling of aws-load-balancer-security-groups annotation. Security-Groups assigned with this annotation are no longer modified by kubernetes which is the expected behaviour of most users. Also no unnecessary Security-Groups are created anymore if this annotation is used. ([#88691](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88691),...

    * Openstack cinder v1/v2/auto API support ([#40423](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/40423), [@mkutsevol](https://github.com/mkutsevol))

### Signing Release Artifacts

Release artifacts are [signed](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/3031) using [cosign](https://github.com/sigstore/cosign)
signatures
and there is experimental support for [verifying image signatures](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/verify-signed-images/).

* remove stale OutOfDisk condition from kubelet side ([#72507](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72507), [@dixudx](https://github.com/dixudx))
* Adds deleting pods created by DaemonSet assigned to not existing nodes. ([#73401](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73401), [@krzysztof-jastrzebski](https://github.com/krzysztof-jastrzebski))

copy `topology.k8s.io/zone`, `topology.k8s.io/region` and `kubernetes.io/hostname` labels from Node objects to Pods when they are scheduled to a node (via the `pods/binding` endpoint) to allow applications that need to be explicitly aware of their assigned node topology to access this information via the downward API, rather than requiring permission to `get node` objects (exposing the entire API surface of the Node object to otherwise unprivileged workloads). ([#127092](https://github.com/kuberne...

- Added the `SizeBasedListCostEstimate` feature gate (enabled by default), which changes how APF seats are assigned to `LIST` requests. With this feature, one seat is assigned per 100KB of data loaded into memory at once during a `LIST` operation. ([#132932](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132932), [@serathius](https://github.com/serathius))

* Add `metrics-port` to kube-proxy cmd flags. ([#72682](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72682), [@whypro](https://github.com/whypro))
* Adds deleting pods created by DaemonSet assigned to not existing nodes. ([#73401](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73401), [@krzysztof-jastrzebski](https://github.com/krzysztof-jastrzebski))

  It changes the dual-stack API wrt Service from a single ipFamily field to 3
  fields: ipFamilyPolicy (SingleStack, PreferDualStack, RequireDualStack),
  ipFamilies (a list of families assigned), and clusterIPs (inclusive of
  clusterIP).  Most users do not need to set anything at all, defaulting will
  handle it for them.  Services are single-stack unless the user asks for

- Graduated the `PodTopologyLabelsAdmission` feature gate to Beta and enabled it by default.
  Pods now receive `topology.kubernetes.io/zone` and `topology.kubernetes.io/region` labels automatically when their assigned Node has these labels. ([#135158](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/135158), [@andrewsykim](https://github.com/andrewsykim))
