## Changelog since v1.22.10

## Changes by Kind

### Bug or Regression

- Bug Fix: Kube-proxy dropped endpointSlice's local endpoints when upgrading from 1.20 to 1.22 ([#110245](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110245), [@xh4n3](https://github.com/xh4n3)) [SIG Network]

* The Certificates API has graduated from alpha to beta. This is a backwards-incompatible change since the alpha support is dropped, and therefore kubeadm v1.5 and v1.6 don't work together (for example kubeadm v1.5 can't join a kubeadm v1.6 cluster).
* Supporting only etcd3, with 3.0.14 as the minimum version.
