### Tools. JPS

- [`KT-63594`](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-63594) ClassCastException in JPS statistics

- Fix bug that prevented informer/reflector callers from unwrapping and catching specific API errors by type. ([#110076](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110076), [@karlkfi](https://github.com/karlkfi)) [SIG API Machinery]

* kubectl cp now safely allows unpacking of symlinks that may point outside the destination directory ([#82384](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82384), [@tallclair](https://github.com/tallclair))
* fix azure disk naming matching issue due to case sensitive comparison ([#81720](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81720), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))

## Changelog since v1.11.6

### Other notable changes

* Allow for watching objects larger than 1MB given etcd accepts objects of size up to 1.5MB ([#72053](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72053), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))

 - Kubeadm: remove the automatic detection and matching of cgroup drivers for Docker. For new clusters if you have not configured the cgroup driver explicitly you might get a failure in the `kubelet` on driver mismatch (kubeadm clusters should be using the `systemd` driver). Also remove the `IsDockerSystemdCheck`...

- The calculations for Pod topology spread skew now exclude nodes that
  don't match the node affinity/selector. This may lead to unschedulable pods if you previously had pods
  matching the spreading selector on those excluded nodes (not matching the node affinity/selector),
  especially when the `topologyKey` is not node-level. Revisit the node affinity and/or pod selector in the

- Fix output of `kubectl get --watch-only` when watching a single resource ([#79345](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/79345), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- Kube-apiserver: The timeout used when making health check calls to etcd can now be configured with `--etcd-healthcheck-timeout`. The default timeout is 2 seconds, matching the previous behavior.

### **Instrumentation**

#### **Audit**

*   Adjust batching audit webhook default parameters: increase queue size, batch size, and initial backoff. Add throttling to the batching audit webhook. Default rate limit is 10 QPS. ([#53417](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53417),[ @crassirostris](https://github.com/crassirostris))

  // but should apply for any default implementation. If set, it is assumed that a load balancer
  // implementation is watching for Services with a matching class. Any default load balancer
  // implementation (e.g. cloud providers) should ignore Services that set this field.
  // This field can only be set when creating or updating a Service to type 'LoadBalancer'.
