- Removed the generally available feature gate `HonorPVReclaimPolicy`, which was locked and enabled since 1.33. ([#135335](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/135335), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG Apps and Storage]

### Feature

- Add cloud-controller-manager feature gate CloudControllerManagerWatchBasedRoutesReconciliation ([#131220](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/131220), [@lukasmetzner](https://github.com/lukasmetzner)) [SIG API Machinery and Cloud Provider]

- Enabled feature gates for PortForward (kubectl port-forward) over WebSockets by default (beta).
   - Server-side feature gate: PortForwardWebsocket
   - Client-side (kubectl) feature gate: PORT_FORWARD_WEBSOCKETS environment variable

- The `SidecarContainers` feature has graduated to GA. 'SidecarContainers' feature gate was locked to default value and will be removed in v1.36. If you were setting this feature gate explicitly, please remove it now. ([#129731](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129731), [@gj...

- Removed generally available feature gate `LegacyServiceAccountTokenCleanUp`. ([#126839](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126839), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG Auth]
- Removed generally available feature gate `MinDomainsInPodTopologySpread`. ([#126863](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126863), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG Scheduling]

- Added a new `FileKeyRef` field to containers, allowing them to load variables from files by setting this field.
  

- Feature gates for RemoteCommand (kubectl exec, cp, and attach) over WebSockets are now enabled by default (Beta).
  - Server-side feature gate: TranslateStreamCloseWebsocketRequests
  - Client-side (kubectl) feature gate: KUBECTL_REMOTE_COMMAND_WEBSOCKETS

- Marked the feature gate `ExperimentalHostUserNamespaceDefaulting` as deprecated.
  Enabling the feature gate already had no effect; the deprecation allows for removing the feature gate in a future release. ([#116723](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116723), [@SergeyKanzhelev](https://github.com/SergeyKanzhelev)) [SIG Node]
