- Fixed an EndpointSlice Controller hashing bug that could cause EndpointSlices to incorrectly handle Pods with duplicate IP addresses. For example this could happen when a new Pod reused an IP that was also assigned to a Pod in a completed state. ([#115907](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115907), [@qinqon](https://github.com/qinqon)) [SIG Apps and Network]...

* [fluentd-gcp addon] Update Stackdriver plugin to version 0.6.7 ([#52565](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52565), [@crassirostris](https://github.com/crassirostris))
* Remove duplicate proto errors in kubelet. ([#52132](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52132), [@adityadani](https://github.com/adityadani))

- The metric `apiserver_flowcontrol_request_concurrency_limit` has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.  It is a duplicate of `apiserver_flowcontrol_nominal_limit_seats` (introduced in release 1.26) but has an outdated name and had an outdated HELP string.

- Manual change of a failed job condition status to False does not result in duplicate conditions ([#110292](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110292), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG Apps]
- OpenAPI will no longer duplicate these schemas:
  - io.k8s.apimachinery.pkg.apis.meta.v1.DeleteOptions_v2
  - io.k8s.apimachinery.pkg.apis.meta.v1.ObjectMeta_v2

- Kubeadm: improve the strict parsing of user YAML/JSON configuration files. Next to printing warnings for unknown and duplicate fields (current state), also print warnings for fields with incorrect case sensitivity - e.g. `controlPlaneEndpoint` (valid), `ControlPlaneEndpoint` (invalid). Instead of only printing warnings during `init` and `join` also print warnings when downloading...

  - A `create` or `update` API request with duplicate items in a keyed list no longer wipes out managedFields. Examples include env var entries with the same name, or port entries with the same containerPort in a pod spec.
