  `I DON'T know,' said the Caterpillar.

  Alice said nothing:  she had never been so much contradicted in

* HTTP transport now uses `context.Context` to cancel dial operations. k8s.io/client-go/transport/Config struct has been updated to accept a function with a `context.Context` parameter. This is a breaking change if you use this field in your code. ([#60012](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60012), [@ash2k](https://github.com/ash2k))

- Add a new `vSphere` metric: `cloudprovider_vsphere_vcenter_versions`. Its content shows `vCenter` hostnames with the associated server version.

- Signatures on scale client methods have been modified to accept `context.Context` as a first argument. Signatures of Get, Update, and Patch methods have been updated to accept GetOptions, UpdateOptions and PatchOptions respectively.

- Kubeadm: Added missing cluster-info context validation to prevent panics when the user has a malformed kubeconfig in the cluster-info ConfigMap that excludes a valid current context. ([#134715](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134715), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))
