- Replaced Boolean-pointer-helper functions with the `k8s.io/utils/ptr` implementations. ([#132794](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132794), [@PatrickLaabs](https://github.com/PatrickLaabs)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, CLI, Node and Testing]

Other notable changes include:
* CoreDNS replaces kube-dns as the default DNS provider

- The deprecated taints `node.alpha.kubernetes.io/notReady` and `node.alpha.kubernetes.io/unreachable` are no longer supported or adjusted. These uses should be replaced with `node.kubernetes.io/not-ready` and `node.kubernetes.io/unreachable`

* [GCP kube-up.sh] Variables that were part of kube-env that were only used for kubelet flags are no longer being set, and are being replaced by the more portable mechanism of the kubelet configuration file. The individual variables in the kube-env metadata entry were never meant to be a stable interface and this release note only applies if you are depending on them. ([#60020](https:...

- Removed the following deprecated metrics:
  - node_collector_evictions_number replaced by node_collector_evictions_total
  - scheduler_e2e_scheduling_duration_seconds replaced by scheduler_scheduling_attempt_duration_seconds ([#115209](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115209), [@dgrisonnet](https://github.com/dgrisonnet))

- Deprecate `--record` flag in `kubectl`. The `--record` flag is being replaced with the [mechanism](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/tree/master/keps/sig-cli/859-kubectl-headers) which annotates HTTP requests with kubectl command details. ([#102873](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102873), [@soltysh...

- Deprecate the `topologyKeys` field in Service. This capability will be replaced with upcoming work around Topology Aware Subsetting and Service Internal Traffic Policy. ([#96736](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96736), [@andrewsykim](https://github.com/andrewsykim)) [SIG Apps]

- `kubectl apply --server-dry-run` is deprecated and replaced with --dry-run=server ([#87580](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87580), [@julianvmodesto](https://github.com/julianvmodesto)) [SIG CLI]

#### add-ons:

- Some apiserver metrics were changed, as follows.
  - `priority_level_seat_count_samples` is replaced with `priority_level_seat_utilization`, which samples every nanosecond rather than every millisecond; the old metric conveyed utilization despite its name.
  - `priority_level_seat_count_watermarks` is removed.

If the divisor is zero at run time, a <a href="#Run_time_panics">run-time panic</a> occurs.
If the dividend is non-negative and the divisor is a constant power of 2,
the division may be replaced by a right shift, and computing the remainder may
be replaced by a bitwise AND operation:
