- Fixed a rare race condition handling requests that timeout. ([#107452](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107452), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
- Fixed a regression in 1.23 that incorrectly pruned data from array items of a custom resource that set `x-kubernetes-preserve-unknown-fields: true`. ([#107688](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107688), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- resource.k8s.io/ResourceClaim (alpha API): The strategic merge patch strategy for the `status.reservedFor` array was changed so that a strategic-merge-patch can now add individual entries. This change may break clients using strategic merge patch to update status, which rely on the previous behavior (replacing the entire array).
