- The CSR signing cert/key pairs will be reloaded from disk like the kube-apiserver cert/key pairs ([#86816](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/86816), [@deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Auth]

- The feature gate...

endpoints passed in the `ClusterConfiguration` that have Unicode characters are no longer IDNA encoded (converted to Punycode). They are now just URL encoded as per Go's implementation of RFC-3986, have duplicate "/" removed from the URL paths, and passed like that directly to the `kube-apiserver` `--etcd-servers` flag. If you have etcd endpoints that have Unicode characters, it is advisable to encode them in advance with tooling that is fully IDNA compliant. If you don't do that, the Go standard library...

- Fix cronjob controller handling of complex schedules, like "30 6-16/4 * * 1-5", for example ([#119137](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119137), [@kmala](https://github.com/kmala)) [SIG Apps]

* set config.BindAddress to IPv4 address "127.0.0.1" if not specified ([#83822](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83822), [@zouyee](https://github.com/zouyee))

with improvements to the Security, performance, monitoring and developer experience. There are numerous bug fixes to lease objects causing memory leaks, and compact operation causing deadlocks and more. A couple of new features are also introduced like the migration to structured logging and build in log rotation. The release comes with a detailed future roadmap to implement a solution to traffic overload. A full and detailed list of changes can be read in the [3.5.0 release announcement](https:...

hancements/issues/625) to the Container Storage Interface (CSI). SIG Storage worked on bringing CSI to feature parity with in-tree functionality, including functionality like resizing, inline volumes, and more. SIG Storage introduces new alpha functionality in CSI that doesn't exist in the Kubernetes Storage subsystem yet, like volume cloning.

Volume cloning enables users to specify another PVC as a "DataSource" when provisioning a new volume. If the underlying storage system supports...

  - The deprecated versionless API group accessors (like `clientset.Apps()`) have been removed. Use an explicit version instead (like `clientset.AppsV1()`) ([#74422](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74422), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- **[beta]** [Taints and tolerations](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/assign-pod-node/). This feature allows you to specify rules for "repelling" pods from nodes by default, which enables use cases like dedicated nodes and reserving nodes with special features for pods that need those features. We've also added a `NoExecute` taint type that evicts already-running pods, and an associated `tolerationSeconds` field to tolerations to delay the eviction...
