- Recording timing traces had a race condition. Impact in practice was probably low. ([#117139](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117139), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery, Architecture, Auth, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation,...

* scheduler: Fix issue were a new pod with affinity gets stuck at `creating` because the node had been deleted but the pod still exists. ([#56835](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56835), [@wenlxie](https://github.com/wenlxie))

- The resource version option, when passed to a list call, is now consistently interpreted as the minimum allowed resource version.

[Kustomize](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize) version in kubectl had a jump from v2.0.3 to [v4.0.5](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98946). Kustomize is now treated as a library and future updates will be less sporadic.
