- Kubernetes API Go types removed runtime use of the `github.com/gogo/protobuf` library, and are no longer registered into the global gogo type registry. Kubernetes API Go types were not suitable for use with the `google.golang.org/protobuf` library, and no longer implement `ProtoMessage()` by default to avoid accidental incompatible use. If removal of these marker methods impacts...

- The apimachinery util/net function used to detect the bind address `ResolveBindAddress()` takes into consideration global IP addresses on loopback interfaces when 1) the host has default routes, or 2) there are no global IPs on those interfaces in order to support more complex network scenarios like BGP Unnumbered RFC 5549 ([#95790](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95790), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))...

kubelet, log verbosity and flush frequency can also be configured via the configuration file and not just via command line flags. In other commands (kube-apiserver, kube-controller-manager), the flags are listed in the "Logs flags" group and not under "Global" or "Misc". The type for `-vmodule` was made a bit more descriptive (`pattern=N,...` instead of `moduleSpec`).

- Kubeadm: add support for `127.0.0.1` as advertise address. kubeadm will automatically replace this value with matching global unicast IP address on the loopback interface. ([#83475](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83475), [@fabriziopandini](https://github.com/fabriziopandini))

- **Overhauled metrics**: Kubernetes has previously made extensive use of a global metrics registry to register metrics to be exposed. By implementing a metrics registry, metrics are registered in more transparent means. Previously, Kubernetes metrics have been excluded from any kind of stability requirements.
