- Fix computing backoff delay when using Job pod failure policy, by including in the backoff delay calculation pod failures ignored from the backoffLimit counter.
  
  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]

- Fixed authentication_duration_seconds metric scope. Previously, it included whole apiserver request duration which yields inaccurate results. ([#99944](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99944), [@marseel](https://github.com/marseel))

- Code blocks in `kubectl {$COMMAND}--help` will move right by 3 indentation. ([#118029](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118029), [@ardaguclu](https://github.com/ardaguclu))
- Compute the backoff delay more accurately for deleted pods ([#118413](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118413), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG Apps]

* Azure plugin for client auth ([#43987](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/43987), [@cosmincojocar](https://github.com/cosmincojocar))
* Fix dynamic provisioning of PVs with inaccurate AccessModes by refusing to provision when PVCs ask for AccessModes that can't be satisfied by the PVs' underlying volume plugin ([#47274](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/47274), [@wongma7](https://github.com/wongma7))

- Limit vSphere volume name to 63 characters long. ([#100404](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100404), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))
- Logging for GCE Windows clusters will be more accurate and complete when using Fluent bit. ([#101271](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101271), [@jeremyje](https://github.com/jeremyje))

- Kubelet: make the image pull time more accurate in event ([#114430](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114430), [@pacoxu](https://github.com/pacoxu)) [SIG Node]

- Kubelet: make the image pull time more accurate in event ([#114271](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114271), [@pacoxu](https://github.com/pacoxu)) [SIG Node]

- Added more accurate requeueing in scheduling queue for Pods rejected by the temporal failure (e.g., temporal failure on `kube-apiserver`). ([#119105](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119105), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho))
