- Fixed a bug that unintentionally overrides custom Accept headers in http (live-/readiness)-probes if the header is in lowercase. ([#114606](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114606), [@tuunit](https://github.com/tuunit))

- For `kubectl`, `--server-side` now migrates ownership of all fields used by client-side-apply to the specified `--fieldmanager`. This prevents fields previously specified using kubectl from being able to live outside of server-side-apply's management and become undeleteable.

We are also continuing our long running effort to extract all the existing cloud providers that live in k8s.io/kubernetes into their own respective repos. Along with this migration, we are slowly transitioning users to use the cloud-controller-manager for any cloud provider features instead of the kube-controller-manager.

* [Auditing](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/debug/debug-cluster/audit/) is now enabled behind a featureGate in kubeadm. A user can supply their own audit policy with configuration option as well as a place for the audit logs to live. If no policy is supplied a default policy will be provided. The default policy will log all Metadata level policy logs. It is the example provided in the documentation. ([#59067](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59067), [@chuckha](ht...

rapidly scheduled after other pods were reported as complete in the API. The Kubelet now waits to report the phase of a pod as terminal in the API until all running containers are guaranteed to have stopped and no new containers can be started.  Short-lived pods may take slightly longer (~1s) to report Succeeded or Failed after this change.
