- The feature gate was mentioned as `csiMigrationRBD` where it should have been `CSIMigrationRBD` to be in parity with other migration plugins. This release correct the same and keep it as `CSIMigrationRBD`.
  
  users who have configured this feature gate as `csiMigrationRBD` has to reconfigure the same to `CSIMigrationRBD` from this release. ([#107554](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107554), [@humblec](https://github.com/humblec)) [SIG Storage]

- Drop additional rule requirement (cronjobs/finalizers) in the roles who use kubectl create cronjobs to be backwards compatible ([#124883](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124883), [@ardaguclu](https://github.com/ardaguclu)) [SIG CLI]
- Fix a bug that Pods could stuck in the unschedulable pod pool 

when asking for "All" devices on a node, Kubernetes <= 1.32 proceeded to schedule pods onto nodes with no devices by not allocating any devices for those pods. Kubernetes 1.33 changes that to only picking nodes which have at least one device.

* kubeadm now produces error during preflight checks if swap is enabled. Users, who can setup kubelet to run in unsupported environment with enabled swap, will be able to skip that preflight check. ([#55399](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55399), [@kad](https://github.com/kad))

* Alpha Initializers have been removed from kubeadm admission control.  Kubeadm users who still want to use Initializers can use apiServerExtraArgs through the kubeadm config file to enable it when booting up the cluster.
