- Fix handling of aws-load-balancer-security-groups annotation. Security-Groups assigned with this annotation are no longer modified by kubernetes which is the expected behaviour of most users. Also no unnecessary Security-Groups are created anymore if this annotation is used. ([#88691](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88691),...

copy `topology.k8s.io/zone`, `topology.k8s.io/region` and `kubernetes.io/hostname` labels from Node objects to Pods when they are scheduled to a node (via the `pods/binding` endpoint) to allow applications that need to be explicitly aware of their assigned node topology to access this information via the downward API, rather than requiring permission to `get node` objects (exposing the entire API surface of the Node object to otherwise unprivileged workloads). ([#127092](https://github.com/kuberne...

- Added the `SizeBasedListCostEstimate` feature gate (enabled by default), which changes how APF seats are assigned to `LIST` requests. With this feature, one seat is assigned per 100KB of data loaded into memory at once during a `LIST` operation.

### Signing Release Artifacts

Release artifacts are [signed](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/3031) using [cosign](https://github.com/sigstore/cosign)
signatures
and there is experimental support for [verifying image signatures](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/verify-signed-images/).

* remove stale OutOfDisk condition from kubelet side ([#72507](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72507), [@dixudx](https://github.com/dixudx))
* Adds deleting pods created by DaemonSet assigned to not existing nodes. ([#73401](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73401), [@krzysztof-jastrzebski](https://github.com/krzysztof-jastrzebski))

- Empty values are no longer assigned to undefined resources (CPU or memory) when storing the resources allocated to the pod in checkpoint. ([#117615](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117615), [@aheng-ch](https://github.com/aheng-ch))

* Add `metrics-port` to kube-proxy cmd flags. ([#72682](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72682), [@whypro](https://github.com/whypro))
