- kubeadm: `kubeadm upgrade plan` now supports `--etcd-upgrade` flag to control whether the etcd upgrade plan should be displayed. Add an `EtcdUpgrade` field into `UpgradeConfiguration.Plan` for v1beta4....

- Kubeadm: fix a bug when using external CA mode and trying to upgrade to 1.29 using "kubeadm upgrade apply". Show a warning that kubeadm cannot sign the new "super-admin.conf" as the host does not have a CA and show some instructions on how to manually migrate to the separate "admin.conf" and "super-admin.conf" kubeconfig files.

- Kubeadm: added `show-join-command` as a new separate phase at the end of `kubeadm init`. You can skip printing the join information by using `kubeadm init --skip-phases=show-join-command`. Executing only this phase on demand will throw an error because the phase needs dependencies such as bootstrap tokens to be pre-populated. ([#111512](https:...

- If a pod has a running instance, the stats of its previously terminated instances will not show up in the kubelet summary stats any more for CRI runtimes such as containerd and cri-o. This keeps the behavior consistent with Docker integration, and fixes an issue that some container Prometheus metrics don't work when there are summary stats for...

* kubectl: Fix bug that showed terminated/evicted pods even without `--show-all`. ([#48786](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48786), [@janetkuo](https://github.com/janetkuo))
