As a condition to exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any.

* Third Party Resource tests in the e2e suite were incorrectly marked as part of the conformance bucket.  They are alpha and are not required for conformance. ([#52823](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52823), [@smarterclayton](https://github...

- `Kubelet` no longer creates certain legacy iptables rules by default.
  It is possible that this will cause problems with some third-party components
  that improperly depended on those rules. If this affects you, you can run
  `kubelet` with `--feature-gates=IPTablesOwnershipCleanup=false`, but a bug should also be filed against the third-party component. ([#114472](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114472), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship))

[SIG API Machinery][] is responsible for all aspects of the API server: API registration and discovery, generic API CRUD semantics, admission control, encoding/decoding, conversion, defaulting, persistence layer (etcd), OpenAPI, third-party resources, garbage collection, and client libraries.

* `apply` falls back to generic 3-way JSON merge patch for Third Party Resource or unregistered types ([#40666](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/40666), [@ymqytw](https://github.com/ymqytw))

The focus of this release is **compatibility** with Pydantic v1 and v2, to make sure your current apps keep working. Later there will be more focus on refactors, correctness, code improvements, and then **performance** improvements. Some third-party early beta testers that ran benchmarks on the beta releases of FastAPI reported improvements of **2x - 3x**. Which is not bad for just doing `pip install --upgrade fastapi pydantic`. This was not an official benchmark and I didn't check it myself,...

- Kubectl [get and describe](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/515) now works with extensions
- Nodes now support [third party monitoring plugins](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/606).
- A new [Scheduling Framework](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/624) for schedule plugins is now Alpha.

- Fixed a bug in the single-numa-node policy of the TopologyManager.  Previously, pods that only requested CPU resources and did not request any third-party devices would fail to launch with a TopologyAffinity error. Now they will launch successfully.

* The Kubelet now explicitly registers all of its command-line flags with an internal flagset, which prevents flags from third party libraries from unintentionally leaking into the Kubelet's command-line API. Many unintentionally leaked flags are now marked deprecated, so that users have a chance to migrate away from them before they are removed. In addition, one previously...
