- The `EndpointSliceTerminatingCondition` feature gate was graduated to GA. The gate is now locked and will be removed in v1.28. ([#113351](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113351), [@andrewsykim](https://github.com/andrewsykim))
- `DynamicKubeletConfig` feature gate has been removed from the API server.
  Dynamic kubelet reconfiguration now can't be used even when older nodes are still

- a new `EndpointSliceProxying` feature gate has been added to control the use of EndpointSlices in kube-proxy. The EndpointSlice feature gate that used to control this behavior no longer affects kube-proxy. This feature has been disabled by default. ([#86137](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/86137), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott))...

- Added `UserNamespacesPodSecurityStandards` feature gate to enable user namespace support for Pod Security Standards.
  Enabling this feature will modify all Pod Security Standard rules to allow setting: `spec[.*].securityContext.[runAsNonRoot,runAsUser]`.
  This feature gate should only be enabled if all nodes in the cluster support the user namespace feature and have it enabled.

- This PR will introduce a feature gate CSIServiceAccountToken with two additional fields in `CSIDriverSpec`. ([#93130](https://github.com...

- Ensures `ExecProbeTimeout=false` kubelet feature gate with dockershim is taken into account, when the exec probe takes longer than `timeoutSeconds` configuration. ([#100200](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100200), [@jackfrancis](https://github.com/jackfrancis))

## Urgent Upgrade Notes 

### (No, really, you MUST read this before you upgrade)

- 'The `IPv6DualStack` feature gate for external cloud providers was removed.
  (The feature became GA in 1.23 and the gate was removed for all other
  components several releases ago.) If you were still manually

- Marked the feature gate `ExperimentalHostUserNamespaceDefaulting` as deprecated.
  Enabling the feature gate already had no effect; the deprecation allows for removing the feature gate in a future release. ([#116723](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116723), [@SergeyKanzhelev](https://github.com/SergeyKanzhelev)) [SIG Node]

- Introduce a feature gate `DisableKubeletCloudCredentialProviders` which allows disabling the in-tree kubelet credential providers.
  

  //   in any namespaces.
  // (Beta) Using this field requires the AnyVolumeDataSource feature gate to be enabled.
  // (Alpha) Using the namespace field of dataSourceRef requires the CrossNamespaceVolumeDataSource feature gate to be enabled.
  // +optional
  optional TypedObjectReference dataSourceRef = 8;
}

- The feature gate was mentioned as `csiMigrationRBD` where it should have been `CSIMigrationRBD` to be in parity with other migration plugins. This release correct the same and keep it as `CSIMigrationRBD`.
