### API Change

- 1. PodAffinityTerm includes a namespaceSelector field to allow selecting eligible namespaces based on their labels. 

* Addon manager supports HA masters. ([#55782](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55782), [@x13n](https://github.com/x13n))

- Fixed an issue to not drain all the pods in a namespace when an empty-selector i.e. "{}" is specified in a Pod Disruption Budget (PDB) ([#121132](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121132), [@sairameshv](https://github.com/sairameshv)) [SIG Apps]

- The deprecated flag `--lock-object-namespace` and `--lock-object-name` have been removed from kube-scheduler. Please use `--leader-elect-resource-namespace` and `--leader-elect-resource-name` or ComponentConfig instead to configure those parameters. ([#119130](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119130), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu))...

- Adds feature gate `KubeletInUserNamespace` which enables support for running kubelet in a user namespace.
  
  The user namespace has to be created before running kubelet.
  All the node components such as CRI need to be running in the same user namespace.
  

- Existing InTree AzureFile PVs which don't have a secret namespace defined will now work properly after enabling CSI migration - the namespace will be obtained from ClaimRef. ([#108000](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108000), [@RomanBednar](https://github.com/RomanBednar)) [SIG Cloud Provider and Storage]

- Kube-apiserver: ensures the namespace of objects sent to admission webhooks matches the request namespace. Previously, objects without a namespace set would have the request namespace populated after mutating admission, and objects with a namespace that did not match the request namespace would be rejected after admission. ([#94637](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94637), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))...

- Return a warning when applying a `pod-security.kubernetes.io` label to a PodSecurity-exempted namespace.
  Stop including the `pod-security.kubernetes.io/exempt=namespace` audit annotation on namespace requests. ([#109680](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109680), [@tallclair](https://github.com/tallclair))

- 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"".
   ([#120111](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120111), [@newtondev](https://github.com/newtondev))

- Kubectl apply: warning that kubectl will ignore no-namespaced resource `pv & namespace` in a future release if the namespace is specified and allowlist is not specified. ([#110907](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110907), [@pacoxu](https://github.com/pacoxu))
