- When the go-client reflector relists, the ResourceVersion list option is set to the reflector's latest synced resource version to ensure the reflector does not "go back in time" and reprocess events older than it has already processed. If the server responds with an HTTP 410 (Gone) status code response, the relist falls back to using `resourceVersion=""`.

- Added `kubelet` Topology Manager metrics to track admission requests processed and occured admission errors. ([#115137](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115137), [@swatisehgal](https://github.com/swatisehgal))

- Introduce kubectl-convert plugin. ([#96190](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96190), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh)) [SIG CLI and Testing]
- Kube-scheduler now logs processed component config at startup ([#96426](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96426), [@damemi](https://github.com/damemi)) [SIG Scheduling]

- Updating kubelet permissions check for Windows nodes to see if process is elevated instead of checking if process owner is in Administrators group ([#111078](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111078), [@marosset](https://github.com/marosset)) [SIG Node and Windows]

## Dependencies

### Added

* Fix an issue in inter-pod affinity predicate that cause affinity to self being processed correctly ([#62591](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62591), [@bsalamat](https://github.com/bsalamat))

  For more information, see [#47131](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/47131)

*   If a namespaced resource is owned by a cluster scoped resource, and the namespaced dependent is processed before the cluster scoped owner has ever been observed by the garbage collector, the dependent will be erroneously deleted.

for COS images on GCE has changed to `/home/kubernetes/flexvolume`, rather than `/etc/srv/kubernetes/kubelet-plugins/volume/exec`. Existing Flexvolume installations in clusters using COS images must be moved to the new directory, and installation processes must be updated with the new path.
