- Promote StatefulSet minReadySeconds to GA. This means `--feature-gates=StatefulSetMinReadySeconds=true` are not needed on kube-apiserver and kube-controller-manager binaries and they'll be removed soon following policy at https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/using-api/deprecation-policy/#deprecation ...

- Volume dynamic provisioning scheduling has been moved to beta, which means that the DynamicProvisioningScheduling alpha feature gate has been removed but the VolumeScheduling beta feature gate is still required for this feature. ([#67432](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67432), [@lichuqiang](https://github.com/lichuqiang))...

- WindowsEndpointSliceProxying feature gate has graduated to beta and is enabled by default. This means kube-proxy will  read from EndpointSlices instead of Endpoints on Windows by default.

* Node controller no longer force-deletes pods from the api-server. ([#35235](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/35235), [@foxish](https://github.com/foxish))
  * For StatefulSet (previously PetSet), this change means creation of
    replacement pods is blocked until old pods are definitely not running
    (indicated either by the kubelet returning from partitioned state,

For example, a plugin that implements Score and Filter extensions can be simultaneously enabled for both.
This means entire plugins can be enabled and disabled without having to manually edit individual extension point settings.
These extension points can now be abstracted away due to their irrelevance for most users.

- Graduated `PodObservedGenerationTracking` feature to beta and had it on by default. This feature meant that the top level `status.observedGeneration` and `status.conditions[].observedGeneration` fields in Pods were populated to reflect the `metadata.generation` of the podspec at the time that the status or condition was reported. ([#132912](https:/...

- Graduated `Kubelet Topology Manager` to GA. ([#116093](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116093), [@swatisehgal](https://github.com/swatisehgal))
- Graduated `KubeletTracing` to beta, which means that the feature gate is now enabled by default. ([#115750](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115750), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert))
- Graduated seccomp profile defaulting to GA.
  

Variables that were part of kube-env that were only used for kubelet flags are no longer being set, and are being replaced by the more portable mechanism of the kubelet configuration file. The individual variables in the kube-env metadata entry were never meant to be a stable interface and this release note only applies if you are depending on them.

- The Kubernetes apiserver now emits a warning message for Pods with a null labelSelector in podAffinity or topologySpreadConstraints. The null labelSelector means "match none". Using it in podAffinity or topologySpreadConstraint could lead to unintended behavior.
