    Conscrypt is the bundled security provider on Android so it is not necessary
    to configure it on that platform.

 *  New: `HttpUrl.addQueryParameter()` percent-escapes more characters.
    Previously several ASCII punctuation characters were not percent-escaped
    when used with this method. This does not impact already-encoded query
    parameters in APIs like `HttpUrl.parse()` and
    `HttpUrl.Builder.addEncodedQueryParameter()`.

Users of FlexVolume should move their workloads to CSI driver.

### Deprecation of klog specific flags

To simplify the code base, several [logging flags got marked as deprecated](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/system-logs/#klog) in Kubernetes 1.23.

    - [Node Binaries](#node-binaries-17)
  - [Changelog since v1.21.0](#changelog-since-v1210)
  - [What's New (Major Themes)](#whats-new-major-themes)
    - [Removal of several beta Kubernetes APIs](#removal-of-several-beta-kubernetes-apis)
    - [Kubernetes release cadence change](#kubernetes-release-cadence-change)
    - [External credential providers](#external-credential-providers)

- client-go discovery clients constructed using `NewDiscoveryClientForConfig` or `NewDiscoveryClientForConfigOrDie` default to rate limits that cause normal discovery request patterns to take several seconds. This is fixed in https://issue.k8s.io/86168 and will be resolved in v1.17.1. As a workaround, the `Burst` value can be adjusted higher in the rest.Config passed into `NewDiscoveryClientForConfig` or `NewDiscoveryClientForConfigOrDie`.

SIG Windows is also including several addition to this release:
 - Direct Server Return (DSR) mode support, allowing large numbers of services to scale up efficiently
 - Windows containers  now honor CPU limits

 * ways similar to {@link FluentFuture}s:

 * <ul>
 *   <li>by transforming the value from a successful input step,
 *   <li>by catching the exception from a failed input step, or
 *   <li>by combining the results of several input steps.
 * </ul>

 * Each derivation can capture the next value or any intermediate objects for later closing.
 *
 * <p>A step can be the input to at most one derived step. Once you transform its value, catch its

* Caching added to the OIDC client auth plugin to fix races and reduce the time kubectl commands using this plugin take by several seconds. ([#38167](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/38167), [@ericchiang](https://github.com/ericchiang))

- DRA: fixed several issues related to `allocationMode: all`. ([#127565](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127565), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))

### (No, really, you MUST read this before you upgrade)

- 'The `IPv6DualStack` feature gate for external cloud providers was removed.
  (The feature became GA in 1.23 and the gate was removed for all other
  components several releases ago.) If you were still manually
  enabling it you must stop now.' ([#116255](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116255), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship))

- Migrate scheduling_queue.go to structured logging ([#98358](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98358), [@tanjing2020](https://github.com/tanjing2020)) [SIG Scheduling]
- Several flags related to the deprecated dockershim which are present in the kubelet command line are now deprecated. ([#98730](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98730), [@dims](https://github.com/dims)) [SIG Node]
