* kubernetes-worker juju charm: Added support for setting the --enable-ssl-chain-completion option on the ingress proxy.  "action required": if your installation relies on supplying incomplete certificate chains and using OCSP to fill them in, you must set "ingress-ssl-chain-completion" to "true" in your juju configuration.

- Ensure the `KUBE-MARK-DROP` chain in kube-proxy IPVS mode. The chain is ensured for both IPv4 and IPv6 in dual-stack operation. ([#82214](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82214), [@uablrek](https://github.com/uablrek))

* Revert ensure the KUBE-MARK-DROP chain in kube-proxy mode=iptables. Fix a bug in which kube-proxy deletes the rules associated with the chain in iptables mode. ([#85527](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85527), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))

- The kubelet now creates an iptables chain named `KUBE-IPTABLES-HINT` in
  the `mangle` table. Containerized components that need to modify iptables
  rules in the host network namespace can use the existence of this chain
  to more-reliably determine whether the system is using iptables-legacy or
