* StorageClassName attribute has been added to PersistentVolume and PersistentVolumeClaim objects and should be used instead of annotation `volume.beta.kubernetes.io/storage-class`. The beta annotation is still working in this release, however it will be removed in a future release.

- The `apiserver_request_total` metric is promoted to stable status and no longer has a content-type dimensions, so any alerts/charts which presume the existence of this will fail. This is however, unlikely to be the case since it was effectively an unbounded dimension in the first place.

- Failed pods associated with a job with `parallelism = 1` are recreated by the job controller honoring exponential backoff delay again. However, for jobs with `parallelism > 1`, pods might be created without exponential backoff delay.

### Added

  `sync_proxy_rules_last_timestamp_seconds` metric no longer behaves the
  way it used to; now it will only change when services or endpoints actually
  change, rather than reliably updating every 60 seconds (or whatever). If you
  are trying to monitor for whether iptables updates are failing, the

    * Force drain to use delete, even if eviction is supported. This will bypass checking PodDisruptionBudgets, and should be used with caution.
* kubeadm now errors out whenever a not supported component config version is supplied for the kubelet and kube-proxy ([#85639](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85639), [@rosti](https://github.com/rosti))

    * sync time.
