* Audit policy supports matching subresources and resource names, but the top level resource no longer matches the subresouce. For example "pods" no longer matches requests to the logs subresource of pods. Use "pods/logs" to match subresources. ([#48836](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48836), [@ericchiang](https://github.com/ericchiang))

- Fixed #118052: nodeAffinity on pods can change prior to scheduling gates being removed even when podSpec.affinity is nil in the initial spec, this matches the 1.28 behavior to allow consistent integrators to be written.

- Azurefile: Normalize share name to not include capital letters ([#100731](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100731), [@kassarl](https://github.com/kassarl)) [SIG Cloud Provider and Storage]
- EndpointSlice IP validation now matches Endpoints IP validation. ([#101084](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101084), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott)) [SIG Apps and Network]

* Pod affinity `nodeSelectorTerm.matchExpressions` may now be empty, and works as previously documented: nil or empty `matchExpressions` matches no objects in scheduler. ([#62448](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62448), [@k82cn](https://github.com/k82cn))

* Advanced audit policy now supports matching subresources and resource names, but the top level resource no longer matches the subresouce. For example "pods" no longer matches requests to the logs subresource of pods. Use "pods/logs" to match subresources.

### Bug or Regression

- EndpointSlice IP validation now matches Endpoints IP validation. ([#101084](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101084), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott)) [SIG Apps and Network]

- The alpha `Initializers` admission plugin is no longer enabled by default. This matches the off-by-default behavior of the alpha API which drives initializer behavior. ([#66039](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66039), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- The "value" part in the `wait --for=jsonpath='{expression}'[=value]` is now
  optional. If the value is not provided i.e., the command looks like `wait --for=jsonpath='{expression}'`
  then the wait condition is interpreted as matched when the expression returns
  *any* single JSON value like object or a literal. ([#118160](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118160), [@minherz](https://github.com/minherz))

* Pod affinity `nodeSelectorTerm.matchExpressions` may now be empty, and works as previously documented: nil or empty `matchExpressions` matches no objects in scheduler. ([#62448](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62448), [@k82cn](https://github.com/k82cn))

- Kube-apiserver: ensures the namespace of objects sent to admission webhooks matches the request namespace. Previously, objects without a namespace set would have the request namespace populated after mutating admission, and objects with a namespace that did not match the request namespace would be rejected after admission.
