- fixes a validation error that could prevent updates to StatefulSet objects containing non-normalized resource requests ([#66165](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66165), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
- Headless Services with no ports defined will now create Endpoints correctly, and appear in DNS. ([#67622](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67622), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin))

- 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...

- Handle Generic Ephemeral Volumes properly in the node limits scheduler filter and the kubelet `hostPath` check. ([#100482](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100482), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))

- Services implemented a field selector for the ClusterIP and Type fields.
  The Kubelet uses this field selector to avoid monitoring Headless Services, which helps reduce memory consumption. ([#123905](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123905), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Apps, Node and Testing]

- Fixed the EndpointSliceController to correctly create endpoints for IPv6-only pods.
  
  Fixed the EndpointController to allow IPv6 headless services, if the IPv6DualStack
  feature gate is enabled, by specifying `ipFamily: IPv6` on the service. (This already

"users[*].config.scopes" field in the KUBECONFIG file.) This way, users can now  set a Google Service Account JSON key in the  GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable, craft a kubeconfig file with GKE master IP+CA cert, and authenticate to GKE in headless mode without requiring gcloud CLI.
