- Made `apiextensions-apiserver` binary linking static (also affects the deb and rpm packages). ([#114226](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114226), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert))

*   [beta] API chunking via the limit and continue request parameters is promoted to beta in this release. Client libraries using the Informer or ListWatch types will automatically opt in to chunking.

- The DRA device taints and toleration feature received a separate feature gate, `DRADeviceTaintRules`, which controlled support for `DeviceTaintRules`. This allowed disabling it while keeping `DRADeviceTaints` enabled so that tainting via `ResourceSlices` continued to work. ([#135068](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/135068), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Node, Scheduling and Testing]

- Added `WatchListClient` feature gate to `client-go`. When enabled, it allows the client to receive a stream of individual items instead of chunking from the server.

* `kubeadm init` can now omit the tainting of the master node if configured to do so in `kubeadm.yaml` using `noTaintMaster: true`. For example, uses can create a file with the content:

```
apiVersion: [kubeadm.k8s.io/v1alpha1](http://kubeadm.k8s.io/v1alpha1)

  correctly with an external cloud provider. ([#124516](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124516), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship))
- Fixed an issue that prevents the linking of trace spans for requests that are proxied through kube-aggregator. ([#124189](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124189), [@toddtreece](https://github.com/toddtreece))
