- The `EndpointSlice` mirroring controller mirrors endpoints annotations and labels to the generated endpoint slices, it also ensures that updates on any of these fields are mirrored. 
  The well-known annotation `endpoints.kubernetes.io/last-change-trigger-time` is skipped and not mirrored. ([#98116](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98116), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))

- Setting a mirror pod's phase to Succeeded or Failed can prevent the corresponding static pod from restarting due mutation of a Kubelet cache. ([#116482](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116482), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton)) [SIG...

- Fix a bug on the `endpointslicemirroring` controller where endpoint `NotReadyAddresses` were mirrored as Ready to the corresponding `EndpointSlice`. ([#102683](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102683), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))

new OCI image registry (`registry.k8s.io`) that can be used to pull Kubernetes images. The old registry (`k8s.gcr.io`) will continue to be supported for the foreseeable future, but the new name should perform better because it frontends equivalent mirrors in other clouds.  Please point your clusters to the new registry going forward. \n\nAdmission/Policy integrations that have an allowlist of registries need to include `registry.k8s.io` alongside `k8s.gcr.io`.\nAir-gapped environments and image garbage-collection...
