* Upgrade Node Problem Detector to v0.4.1. New features added:

    * Add /dev/kmsg support for kernel log parsing. ([#112](https://github.com/kubernetes/node-problem-detector/pull/112), [@euank](https://github.com/euank))

    * Add ABRT support. ([#105](https://github.com/kubernetes/node-problem-detector/pull/105), [@juliusmilan](https://github.com/juliusmilan))

* **[beta]** Node Problem Detector is beta (v0.3.0) now. New
  features added into node-problem-detector:v0.3.0:
  - Add support for journald.
  - The ability to monitor any system daemon logs. Previously only kernel
    logs were supported.

- Terminated Pods on a node will not be re-admitted on kubelet restart. This fixes the problem of Completed Pods awaiting for the finalizer marked as Failed after the kubelet restart.

- Node-Problem-Detector v0.7.1 is used on GCI ([#80726](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/80726), [@wangzhen127](https://github.com/wangzhen127))
- Node-Problem-Detector v0.7.1 is used for addon daemonset. ([#82140](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82140), [@wangzhen127](https://github.com/wangzhen127))

- Fix problem in updating VolumeAttached in node status ([#112302](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112302), [@xing-yang](https://github.com/xing-yang)) [SIG Apps]

* addon-resizer flapping behavior was removed. ([#46850](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/46850), [@x13n](https://github.com/x13n))
* Change default `httpGet` probe `User-Agent` to `kube-probe/<version major.minor>` if none specified, overriding the default Go `User-Agent`. ([#47729](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/47729), [@paultyng](https://github.com/paultyng))

- Revised the logic for DaemonSet rolling update to exclude nodes if scheduling constraints are not met.
  This eliminates the problem of rolling updates to a DaemonSet getting stuck around tolerations. ([#120786](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120786), [@mochizuki875](https://github.com/mochizuki875)) [SIG Apps and Testing]

- Kubeadm: Switched to using the new etcd endpoints introduced in 3.5.11 - /livez (for liveness probe) and /readyz (for readyness and startup probe). With this change it is no longer possible to deploy a custom etcd version older than 3.5.11 with kubeadm 1.31. If so, please upgrade etcd to a supported version. ([#124465](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124465),...

  stop using `--node-ip`. (In particular, this fixes the problem where people who
  were unnecessarily using `--node-ip` with an external cloud provider in 1.23,
  and then running into problems with 1.24, could not fix the problem by just
  removing the unnecessary `--node-ip` from the kubelet arguments, because

* Requests with invalid credentials no longer match audit policy rules where users or groups are set, correcting a problem where authorized requests were getting through. ([#59398](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59398), [@CaoShuFeng](https://github.com/CaoShuFeng))
