- 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.

- Fix the regression with the slow pods termination. Before this fix pods may take an additional time to terminate - up to one minute. Reversing the change that ensured that CNI resources cleaned up when the pod is removed on API server. ([#97980](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97980),...

- Kubectl: `kubectl get` will omit managed fields by default now. Users could set `--show-managed-fields` to true to show managedFields when the output format is either `json` or `yaml`.

- Add support for Windows Network stats in Containerd ([#105744](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105744), [@jsturtevant](https://github.com/jsturtevant)) [SIG Node, Testing and Windows]
- Added show-capacity option to `kubectl top node` to show `Capacity` resource usage ([#102917](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102917), [@bysnupy](https://github.com/bysnupy)) [SIG CLI]

- TLS timeouts have been extended to work around slow arm64 math/big functions. ([#66264](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66264), [@joejulian](https://github.com/joejulian))

may occasionally increase the size of the cluster a bit more than it is actually needed, when there are
unschedulable pods, scale up is required and cloud provider is slow to set up networking for new nodes.
Anyway, the cluster should get back to the proper size after 10 min.

### Deployment

### Feature

- Parallelize calls to conversion webhooks when watching from etcd to prevent watchcache from lagging and helps clusters with slow conversion webhooks or transformers.

*   Audit logging is slow because writes to the log are performed synchronously with requests to the log. This issue will be fixed in a future release.
