- The `ExpandedDNSConfig` feature has graduated to GA. 'ExpandedDNSConfig' feature was locked to default value and will be removed in v1.30. If you were setting this feature gate explicitly, please remove it now.

rely on side effects and a reconciliation mechanism, a new field is being added to `admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1beta1.ValidatingWebhookConfiguration` and `admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1beta1.MutatingWebhookConfiguration` so that webhooks can explicitly register as having dry-run support. If a dry-run request is made on a resource that triggers a non dry-run supporting webhook, the request will be completely rejected, with "400: Bad Request". Additionally, a new field is being added to the `ad...

- Reverts graceful node shutdown to match 1.21 behavior of setting pods that have not yet successfully completed to "Failed" phase if the GracefulNodeShutdown feature is enabled in kubelet. The GracefulNodeShutdown feature is beta and must be explicitly configured via kubelet config to be enabled in 1.21+. This changes 1.22 and 1.23 behavior on node shutdown to match 1.21. If you do not want pods to be marked terminated on node shutdown in 1.22 and 1.23, disable the GracefulNodeShutdown feature....

- Fixed vSphere cloud provider not to skip detach volumes from nodes at kube-controller-startup. ([#117243](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117243), [@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane)) [SIG Cloud Provider]
- Kubeadm: explicitly set `priority` for static pods with `priorityClassName: system-node-critical` ([#119118](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119118), [@champtar](https://github.com/champtar)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

  - Client-side (kubectl) feature gate: `KUBECTL_REMOTE_COMMAND_WEBSOCKETS`
  - To disable RemoteCommand over WebSockets for kubectl, the environment variable feature gate must be explicitly set to `false`: `KUBECTL_REMOTE_COMMAND_WEBSOCKETS=false`.

- Kubeadm: only taint control plane nodes when the legacy "master" taint is present. This avoids a bug where "kubeadm upgrade" will re-taint a control plane node with the new "control plane" taint even if the user explicitly untainted the node.
