- Fixes calculating the requeue time in the cronjob controller, which results in properly handling failed/stuck jobs ([#121327](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121327), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh)) [SIG Apps]

      - kubelet_imagemanager_ondisk_pulledrecords - the number of image pulled records currently kept on disk
      - kubelet_imagemanager_image_mustpull_checks_total{result} - the number for how many times an image was checked against the pull records and the results of those checks ([#132812](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132812), [@stlaz](https://github.com/stlaz)) [SIG Auth and Node]

- Implemented logging and event recording for probe results with an `Unknown` status in the kubelet's prober module. This helped improve the diagnosis and monitoring of cases where container probes returned an `Unknown` result, enhancing the observability and reliability of health checks.

    - `scheduler_async_api_call_execution_total`: tracks executed API calls by call type and result (success/error)
    - `scheduler_async_api_call_duration_seconds`: histogram of API call execution duration by call type and result

* The Kubernetes API server now supports the ability to break large LIST calls into multiple smaller chunks.  A client can specify a limit to the number of results to return, and if more results exist a token will be returned that allows the client to continue the previous list call repeatedly until all results are retrieved.  The resulting list is identical to a list call that does not perform chunking thanks to capabilities provided by etcd3.  This allows the server to use less...

- If firstTimestamp is not set use eventTime when printing event ([#94252](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94252), [@ingvagabund](https://github.com/ingvagabund)) [SIG CLI]
- Kube-apiserver: fixed a bug returning inconsistent results from list requests which set a field or label selector and set a paging limit ([#94002](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94002), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t)) [SIG API Machinery]

- Fixes an issue that can result in namespaced custom resources being orphaned when their namespace is deleted, if the CRD defining the custom resource is removed concurrently with namespaces being deleted, then recreated. ([#93790](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/93790), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery and Apps]

- Fix a bug that Pods could stuck in the unschedulable pod pool 
  if they're rejected by PreEnqueue plugins that could change its result by a change in resources apart from Pods.
  
  DRA plugin is the only plugin that meets the criteria of the bug in in-tree, 
  and hence if you have `DynamicResourceAllocation` feature flag enabled, 

Wait for the server to report healthy (via `/healthz`) before depending on the information provided by the discovery APIs.
Additionally, since the information returned from the discovery APIs may change dynamically, a cache of the results should not be considered authoritative.
ETag support is planned in a future version to facilitate client caching.
