- A new API server flag `--encryption-provider-config-automatic-reload` was added to control when the encryption config should be automatically reloaded without needing to restart the server.  All KMS plugins are now merged into a single healthz check at `/healthz/kms-providers` when reload is enabled, or when only KMS v2 plugins are used.

* kubectl edit and kubectl apply will keep the ordering of elements in merged lists ([#45980](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45980), [@mengqiy](https://github.com/mengqiy))

*   An IPv6 network mask for pod or cluster cidr network must be /66 or longer. For example: 2001:db1::/66, 2001:dead:beef::/76, 2001:cafe::/118 are supported. 2001:db1::/64 is not supported
*   For details, see [the complete list of merged pull requests for IPv6 support](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Apr+is%3Amerged+label%3Aarea%2Fipv6).

    * If the clusterrole with same has already been provisioned (e.g. for accessing azurefile secrets), then the above yaml should be merged togather, e.g.

proxying address for Nodes, a bug in kube-apiserver made it possible to bypass this validation. Bypassing this validation could allow authenticated requests destined for Nodes to be redirected to the API Server through its private network.

The merged fix enforces validation against the proxying address for a Node. In some cases, the fix can break clients that depend on the `nodes/proxy` subresource, specifically if a kubelet advertises a localhost or link-local address to the Kubernetes control...

*   All the `tf.keras.dtensor.experimental.optimizers` classes have been merged with `tf.keras.optimizers`. You can migrate your code to use `tf.keras.optimizers` directly. The API namespace for `tf.keras.dtensor.experimental.optimizers` will be removed in future releases.
