- The CSI driver-registrar external sidecar container v1.0.0-rc2 is known to take up to 1 minute to start in some cases. We expect this issue to be resolved in a future release of the sidecar container. For verification, please see the release notes of future releases of the external sidecar container. ([#76](https://github.com...

- Fix that prevents repeated fetching of PVC/PV objects by kubelet when processing of pod volumes fails. While this prevents hammering API server in these error scenarios, it means that some errors in processing volume(s) for a pod could now take up to 2-3 minutes before retry. ([#88141](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88141), [@tedyu](https://github.com/tedyu)) [SIG Node and Storage]

- Fixed incorrect calculation for ResourceQuota with PriorityClass as its scope. ([#117677](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117677), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei)) [SIG API Machinery]

For initial installations, see the [Setup topics][] in the Kubernetes
documentation.

To upgrade to this release from a previous version, take any actions required
[Before Upgrading](#before-upgrading).

For more information about the release and for the latest documentation,
see the [Kubernetes documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/home/).

*   Add `--etcd-compaction-interval` to apiserver for controlling request of compaction to etcd3 from apiserver. ([#51765](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51765),[ @mitake](https://github.com/mitake))
*   The httpstream/spdy calls now support CIDR notation for NO_PROXY ([#54413](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54413),[ @kad](https://github.com/kad))

* Webhooks now do not skip cluster-scoped resources. Before upgrading your Kubernetes clusters, double check whether you have configured webhooks for cluster-scoped objects (e.g., nodes, persistentVolume), as these webhooks will start to take effect. Delete/modify the configs if that's not desirable. ([#58185](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58185), [@caesarxuchao](https://github.com/caesarxuchao))

- Fix the regression with the slow pods termination. Before this fix pods may take an additional time to terminate - up to one minute. Reversing the change that ensured that CNI resources cleaned up when the pod is removed on API server. ([#97980](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97980), [@SergeyKanzhelev](https://g...

  
  Also, compute the backoff delay more accurately for deleted pods. ([#119466](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119466), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG Apps]

There is no mitigation from this issue.  Cluster admins should take care to secure aggregated API servers and should not grant access to mutate `APIService`s to untrusted parties.

**Affected Versions**:
  - kube-apiserver v1.25.0
  - kube-apiserver v1.24.0 - v1.24.4

- Fixed a 1.18 regression in wait.Forever that skips the backoff period on the first repeat ([#90476](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/90476), [@zhan849](https://github.com/zhan849)) [SIG API Machinery]
- Fixed a bug that mistake use newObj as oldObj in endpoint slice update. ([#92339](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/92339), [@fatkun](https://github.com/fatkun)) [SIG Apps and Network]
