- Fixed `JobTrackingWithFinalizers` that:
  - was declaring a job finished before counting all the created pods in the status
  - was leaving pods with finalizers, blocking pod and job deletions
   `JobTrackingWithFinalizers` is still disabled by default. ([#109486](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109486), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor))

* StatefulSet: The deprecated `pod.alpha.kubernetes.io/initialized` annotation for interrupting StatefulSet Pod management is now ignored. If you were setting it to `true` or leaving it unset, no action is required. However, if you were setting it to `false`, be aware that previously-dormant StatefulSets may become active after upgrading.

- Fix scoring for `NodeResourcesMostAllocated` and `NodeResourcesBalancedAllocation` plugins when nodes have containers with no requests. This was leaving to under-utilization of small nodes. ([#102925](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102925), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor))

- Add limited lines to log when having tail option ([#93920](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/93920), [@zhouya0](https://github.com/zhouya0)) [SIG Node]
- Avoid systemd-logind loading configuration warning ([#97950](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97950), [@wzshiming](https://github.com/wzshiming)) [SIG Node]

- Since golang 1.17 both net.ParseIP and net.ParseCIDR rejects leading zeros in the dot-decimal notation of IPv4 addresses,
  Kubernetes will keep allowing leading zeros on IPv4 address to not break the compatibility.
  IMPORTANT: Kubernetes interprets leading zeros on IPv4 addresses as decimal, users must not rely on parser alignment to not being impacted by the associated security advisory:

A partial type argument list cannot be empty; at least the first argument must be present.
The list is a prefix of the full list of type arguments, leaving the remaining arguments
to be inferred. Loosely speaking, type arguments may be omitted from "right to left".

- Add --experimental-logging-sanitization flag enabling runtime protection from leaking sensitive data in logs ([#96370](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96370), [@serathius](https://github.com/serathius)) [SIG API Machinery, Cluster Lifecycle and Instrumentation]
- Add a StorageVersionAPI feature gate that makes API server update storageversions before serving certain write requests. 

### Bug or Regression

- Fix JobTrackingWithFinalizers that:
  - was declaring a job finished before counting all the created pods in the status
  - was leaving pods with finalizers, blocking pod and job deletions

### Other notable changes

* kubeadm upgrade no longer races leading to unexpected upgrade behavior on pod restarts ([#62655](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62655), [@stealthybox](https://github.com/stealthybox))

* Fixed a bug in the apiserver storage that could cause just-added finalizers to be ignored on an immediately following delete request, leading to premature deletion. ([#77619](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77619), [@caesarxuchao](https://github.com/caesarxuchao))
