* [GCE] Enable by default audit logging truncating backend. ([#68288](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/68288), [@loburm](https://github.com/loburm))
* kubeadm: fix a possible scenario where kubeadm can pull much newer control-plane images ([#69301](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/69301), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))

* kubeadm 1.8 now properly handles upgrades from to 1.7.x to newer release in 1.7 branch ([#53338](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53338), [@kad](https://github.com/kad))

- Kubeadm: removed preflight check for existence of the conntrack binary, as conntrack is no longer a kube-proxy dependency in version 1.32 and newer. ([#126953](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126953), [@aroradaman](https://github.com/aroradaman)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

- Kubernetes is now built with Go 1.20.4 ([#117773](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117773), [@xmudrii](https://github.com/xmudrii)) [SIG Release and Testing]

### Failing Test

- Allow Azure Disk e2es to use newer topology labels if available from nodes ([#117216](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117216), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied)) [SIG Storage and Testing]

### Bug or Regression

## Known Issues

- The etcd and KMS plugin health checks are not exposed in the new `livez` and `readyz` endpoints. This will be fixed in 1.16.1.
- Systems running `iptables` 1.8.0 or newer should start it in legacy mode. Please note that this affects all versions of Kubernetes and not only v1.16.0. For more detailed information about the issue and how to apply a workaround, please refer to the official documentation

- The `ServerSideFieldValidation` feature has graduated to beta and is now enabled by default. Kubectl 1.24 and newer will use server-side validation instead of client-side validation when writing to API servers with the feature enabled.

If watching objects with a filter, when an update was made that no longer matched the filter a DELETE event was correctly sent. However, the object that was returned by that delete was not the (correct) version before the update, but instead, the newer version. That meant the new object was not matched by the filter. This was a regression from behavior between cached watches on the server side and uncached watches, and thus broke downstream API clients. ([#46223](https://github.com/kubernetes/ku...

## 0.115.4

### Refactors

* ♻️ Update logic to import and check `python-multipart` for compatibility with newer version. PR [#12627](https://github.com/fastapi/fastapi/pull/12627) by [@tiangolo](https://github.com/tiangolo).

### Docs

- `apiserver_storage_objects` (a newer version of `etcd_object_counts`) is promoted and marked as stable. ([#100082](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100082), [@logicalhan](https://github.com/logicalhan))

  3. Single-stack clusters do not need to change, but may choose to use the more specific flags.  Users can use either the older `--node-cidr-mask-size` flag or one of the newer `--node-cidr-mask-size-ipv4` or `--node-cidr-mask-size-ipv6` flags to configure the per-node IP mask size, provided that the flag's IP family matches the cluster's IP family (--cluster-cidr).
