- On single-stack configured (IPv4 or IPv6, but not both) clusters, Services which are both headless (no clusterIP) and selectorless (empty or undefined selector) will report `ipFamilyPolicy RequireDualStack` and will have entries in `ipFamilies[]` for both IPv4 and IPv6.  This is a change from alpha, but does not have any impact on the manually-specified Endpoints and EndpointSlices for the Service. ([#99555](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99555), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin))...

- The `Service.spec.ipFamilyPolicy` field is now *required* in order to create or update a Service as dual-stack.  This is a breaking change from the beta behavior.  Previously the server would try to infer the value of that field from either `ipFamilies` or `clusterIPs`, but that caused ambiguity on updates.  Users who want a dual-stack Service MUST specify `ipFamilyPolicy` as either "PreferDualStack" or "RequireDualStack". ([#96684](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96684), [@thoc...

kubeadm, the cluster lifecycle building block, continues to receive features and stability work required for bootstrapping production clusters efficiently. kubeadm has promoted high availability (HA) capability to beta, allowing users to use the familiar `kubeadm init` and `kubeadm join` commands to [configure and deploy an HA control plane](https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/production-environment/tools/kubeadm/high-availability/). An entire new test suite has been created specifically for ensuring...

A yearly support period provides the cushion end-users appear to desire, and is more in harmony with familiar annual planning cycles.
