#### client-go:

- Promoted `whoami` kubectl command. ([#116510](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116510), [@nabokihms](https://github.com/nabokihms))
- Scheduler no longer runs the plugin's `Filter` method when its `PreFilter` method returned a Skip status.
  In other words, your `PreFilter`/`Filter` plugin can return a Skip status in `PreFilter` if the plugin does nothing in Filter for that Pod.

- Added the `WatchList` method to the `rest client` in `client-go`. When used,
  it establishes a stream to obtain a consistent snapshot of data from the server.

- Removed support for API streaming from the `List()` method of the typed client. ([#132257](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132257), [@p0lyn0mial](https://github.com/p0lyn0mial)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]

- Changed NodeToStatusMap from a map to a struct and exposed methods to access the entries. Added absentNodesStatus, which informs the status of nodes that are absent in the map. For developers of out-of-tree PostFilter plugins, ensure to update the usage of NodeToStatusMap. Additionally, NodeToStatusMap should eventually...

### Feature

- Extend AWS azToRegion method to support Local Zones ([#90874](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/90874), [@Jeffwan](https://github.com/Jeffwan)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

### Bug or Regression

- kubelet now allows the use of XFS quotas (on XFS and suitably configured ext4fs filesystems) to monitor storage consumption for ephemeral storage.  This method of monitoring consumption, which is currently available only for `emptyDir` volumes, is faster and more accurate than the old method of walking the filesystem tree. Note that it does not enforce limits, it only monitors consumption. To utilize this functionality, set the feature gate `LocalStorageCapacityIsolati...

### Other notable changes

* fixed foreground deletion of podtemplates ([#60683](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60683), [@nilebox](https://github.com/nilebox))
* fix the error prone account creation method of blob disk ([#59739](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59739), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))

- For `kubeadm`: remove the ClusterStatus API from v1beta3 and its management in the kube-system/kubeadm-config ConfigMap. This method of keeping track of what API endpoints exists in the cluster was replaced (in a prior release) by a method to annotate the etcd Pods that `kubeadm` creates in "stacked etcd" clusters. The following CLI sub-phases are deprecated and are now a NO-OP: for `kubeadm join`: "control-plane-join/update-status",...

* The `DefaultFeatureGate` package variable now only exposes readonly feature gate methods. Methods for mutating feature gates have moved into a `MutableFeatureGate` interface and are accessible via the `DefaultMutableFeatureGate` package variable. Only top-level commands and options setup should access `DefaultMutableFeatureGate`. ([#7130...
