- CRD `x-kubernetes-validations` rules now support the CEL functions: `isSorted`, `sum`, `min`, `max`, `indexOf`, `lastIndexOf`, `find` and `findAll`. ([#108312](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108312), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz))

In this release the SIG again focused on further improving the user experience on cluster creation and also fixing a number of bugs and other assorted improvements.

Init packages are provided which can be imported to re-enable the functionality that traditionally was in the core framework. If you have code that no longer compiles because of this PR, you can use the script [from a commit message](https://github.com/ku...

* Group and order imported packages. ([#48399](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48399), [@k82cn](https://github.com/k82cn))
