* fix mixed protocol issue for azure load balancer ([#74200](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74200), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* fix issue: fail to detach azure disk when there is server side error ([#74398](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74398), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))

* The following deprecated flags were removed from `kube-controller-manager`:

  * `replication-controller-lookup-cache-size`
  * `replicaset-lookup-cache-size`
  * `daemonset-lookup-cache-size`

  Don't use these flags. Using deprecated flags causes the server to print a warning. Using a removed flag causes the server to abort the startup.

- Respect annotation size limit for server-side apply updates to the client-side apply annotation. Also, fix opt-out of this behavior by setting the client-side apply annotation to the empty string.

- Added a new IPAddress object kind
  - Added a new ClusterIP allocator. The new allocator removes previous Service CIDR block size limitations for IPv4, and limits IPv6 size to a /64 ([#115075](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115075), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, CLI, Cluster Lifecycle, Network and Testing]

*   [beta] Flag `--chunk-size={SIZE}` is added to `kubectl get` to customize the number of results returned in large lists of resources. This reduces the perceived latency of managing large clusters because the server returns the first set of results to the client much more quickly....

* increase grpc client default response size ([#63977](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63977), [@runcom](https://github.com/runcom))
* Increase the gRPC max message size to 16MB in the remote container runtime. ([#64672](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64672), [@mcluseau](https://github.com/mcluseau))

New alpha features include:
* Online volume resizing will increase the filesystem size of a resized volume without requiring a Pod restart.
