- Client-go: fake client-go (i.e. anything using k8s.io/client-go/testing) now supports separate List+Watch calls  with checking of ResourceVersion in the Watch call. This closes a race condition where creating an object directly after an informer...

- K8s.io/apimachinery: Introduced a helper function to compare `resourceVersion` strings between two objects of the same resource. ([#134330](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134330), [@michaelasp](https://github.com/michaelasp)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Instrumentation, Network, Node, Scheduling, Storage...

- Fix enabling consistent list from watch cache also works for resourceVersion=0 ([#123676](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123676), [@serathius](https://github.com/serathius)) [SIG API Machinery]

* Fixes an issue where the resourceVersion of an object in a DELETE watch event was not the resourceVersion of the delete itself, but of the last update to the object. This could disrupt the ability of clients clients to re-establish watches properly. ([#58547](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58547), [...

- The `ResourceVersion` returned in objects from delete responses is now consistent with the `ResourceVersion` contained in the delete watch event. ([#113369](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113369), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))

- Fixes a bug that when there is a "connection refused" error, the reflector's ListAndWatch func will return directly but what expected is that sleep 1 second and rewatch since the specified resourceVersion.

- Prevent unnecessary `Endpoints` and `EndpointSlice` updates caused by `Pod ResourceVersion` change ([#108078](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108078), [@tnqn](https://github.com/tnqn))

- Fix bug where Server Side Apply causes spurious resourceVersion bumps on no-op patches to custom resources. ([#125263](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125263), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]

- Fixed API response for `StorageClassList` queries to return a graceful error message, if the provided `ResourceVersion` is too large. ([#132374](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132374), [@PatrickLaabs](https://github.com/PatrickLaabs)) [SIG API Machinery and Etcd]

- Kube-apiserver: fixes a 1.27+ regression in watch stability by serving watch requests without a resourceVersion from the watch cache by default, as in <1.27 (disabling the change in #115096 by default). This mitigates the impact of an etcd watch bug (https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/pull/17555). If the 1.27 change in #115096 to serve these requests from...
