### Documentation

- Documented the reason field in CRI API to ensure it equals `OOMKilled` for the containers terminated by OOM killer ([#112977](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112977), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo))

- KUBECTL_EXTERNAL_DIFF now accepts equal sign for additional parameters. ([#98158](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98158), [@dougsland](https://github.com/dougsland)) [SIG CLI]

* StatefulSet controller will create a label for each Pod in a StatefulSet. The label is named statefulset.kubernetes.io/pod-name and it is equal to the name of the Pod. This allows users to create a Service per Pod to expose a connection to individual Pods. ([#55329](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55329), [@kow3ns](https://github.com/kow3ns))

 Extended resources cannot be overcommitted, so make sure that request and limit are equal
 if both are present in a container spec.

 - The default Bootstrap Token created with `kubeadm init` v1.8 expires
 and is deleted after 24 hours by default to limit the exposure of the

  
  When `LimitedSwap` is enabled the swap limit would be automatically calculated for
  Burstable QoS pods. For Best-Effort/Guaranteed QoS pods, swap would be disabled.
  
  Containers with memory requests equal to their memory limits also won't have
  swap access, and it is a way to opt-out of swap for a single container.
  
  The formula for the swap limit for Burstable QoS pods is:

* `kubectl patch` now supports `--dry-run`. ([#60675](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60675), [@timoreimann](https://github.com/timoreimann))
* fix sorting taints in case the sorting keys are equal ([#61255](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61255), [@dixudx](https://github.com/dixudx))

- UDP and SCTP protocols can left stale connections that need to be cleared to avoid services disruption, but they can cause problems that are hard to debug.
  Kubernetes components using a loglevel greater or equal than 4 will log the conntrack operations and its output, to show the entries that were deleted. ([#95694](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95694), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Network]

for new kubeadm clusters. If kubelet <1.24 is on the host, kubeadm >=1.24 can continue using the built-in dockershim in the kubelet if the user passes the `{Init|Join}Configuration.nodeRegistration.criSocket` value in the kubeadm configuration to be equal to `unix:///var/run/dockershim.sock` on Unix or `npipe:////./pipe/dockershim` on Windows. If kubelet version >=1.24 is on the host, kubeadm >=1.24 will treat all container runtimes as "remote" using the kubelet flags `--container-runtime=remote --...

- Fixed bug that kubelet resource metric `container_start_time_seconds` had timestamp equal to container start time. ([#120518](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120518), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert)) [SIG Instrumentation, Node and Testing]
