- Changed the error message of `kubectl rollout restart` when subsequent `kubectl rollout restart` commands are executed within a second ([#113040](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113040), [@ardaguclu](https://github.com/ardaguclu))

- Kubectl version changed to write a warning message to stderr if the client and server version difference exceeds the supported version skew of +/-1 minor version. ([#98250](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98250), [@brianpursley](https://github.com/brianpursley)) [SIG CLI]

* kubelet `--cert-dir` now defaults to `/var/lib/kubelet/pki`, in order to ensure bootstrapped and rotated certificates persist beyond a reboot. resolves an issue in kubeadm with false-positive `/var/lib/kubelet is not empty` message during pre-flight checks ([#53317](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53317), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

  *any* single JSON value like object or a literal. ([#118160](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118160), [@minherz](https://github.com/minherz))

- Kube-proxy: delete stale conntrack UDP entries for loadbalancer ingress IP. ([#104009](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104009), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))
- Kube-scheduler now doesn't print any usage message when unknown flag is specified. ([#104503](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104503), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho))

collection algorithm. As a result, we observed an increase in memory usage for kube-apiserver in larger an heavily loaded clusters up to ~25% (with the benefit of API call latencies drop by up to 10x on 99th percentiles). If the memory increase is not acceptable for you you can mitigate by setting GOGC env variable (for our tests using GOGC=63 brings memory usage back to original value, although the exact value may depend on usage patterns on your cluster).

- Do not include preemptor pod metadata in the event message ([#115023](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115023), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG Scheduling]

- When using `kubectl logs <pod-name>` and the pod is not found, the error message now includes the namespace. Previously, the message would be "Error from server (NotFound): pods "my-pod-name" not found". Now, it reflects the namespace in the message as follows: "Error from server (NotFound): pods "my-pod-name" not found in namespace "default"".

- Graduated the following kubelet resource metrics to **general availability**:
  - `container_cpu_usage_seconds_total`

  - `node_cpu_usage_seconds_total`
  - `node_memory_working_set_bytes`
  - `pod_cpu_usage_seconds_total`
  - `pod_memory_working_set_bytes`
  - `resource_scrape_error`
