- Implemented full support for contextual logging in  `client-go/rest`. `BackoffManagerWithContext` was used instead of  `BackoffManager` to ensure that the caller could interrupt the sleep.

performing the TLS Bootstrap properly. Earlier, `kubeadm join` only did the discovery part and exited successfully without checking that the kubelet actually started properly and performed the TLS bootstrap correctly. Now, as kubeadm runs some post-join steps (for example, annotating the Node API object with the CRISocket), `kubeadm join` is now waiting for the kubelet to perform the TLS Bootstrap, and then uses that credential to perform further actions. This also improves the UX, as `kubeadm` will exit...

  is removed in `v1.29`. Migrated `kube-scheduler` configuration files to `kubescheduler.config.k8s.io/v1`.' ([#119994](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119994), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu))
- A new sleep action for the `PreStop` lifecycle hook was added, allowing containers to pause for a specified duration before termination. ([#119026](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119026), [@AxeZhan](https://github.com/AxeZhan))

- Allows PreStop lifecycle handler's sleep action to have a zero value ([#127094](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127094), [@sreeram-venkitesh](https://github.com/sreeram-venkitesh)) [SIG Apps, Node and Testing]

- Kube-controller-manager: the dynamic resource controller steps in when a pod got created such that the scheduler ignores it (i.e. spec.nodeName is set) and then takes care of triggering delayed resource claim allocation and/or reserving a claim for the pod. ([#118209](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118209),...

When the function terminates, its goroutine also terminates.
If the function has any return values, they are discarded when the
function completes.

- A new metric `lifecycle_handler_sleep_terminated_total` is added to record how many times LifecycleHandler sleep got unexpectedly terminated. ([#122456](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122456), [@AxeZhan](https://github.com/AxeZhan))

- Fixes a bug that when there is a "connection refused" error, the reflector's ListAndWatch func will return directly but what expected is that sleep 1 second and rewatch since the specified resourceVersion.
