- Trace output in apiserver logs is more organized and comprehensive. Traces are nested, and for all non-long running request endpoints, the entire filter chain is instrumented (e.g. authentication check is included). ([#88936](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88936), [@jpbet...

- `kubeproxy_conntrack_reconciler_deleted_entries_total` metric can be used to track cumulative sum of conntrack flows cleared by reconciler. ([#130204](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130204), [@aroradaman](https://github.com/aroradaman))

### Feature

- A client-go metric, rest_client_exec_plugin_call_total, has been added to track total calls to client-go credential plugins. ([#98892](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98892), [@ankeesler](https://github.com/ankeesler)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, Cluster Lifecycle and Instrumentation]

- 'Graduated `JobTrackingWithFinalizers` to stable.
  Jobs created before the feature was enabled are still tracked without finalizers.
  Jobs tracked with finalizers have the annotation batch.kubernetes.io/job-tracking.
  If the annotation is present and the user attempts to remove it, the control plane adds it back.
