- Fixed #118052: nodeAffinity on pods can change prior to scheduling gates being removed even when podSpec.affinity is nil in the initial spec, this matches the 1.28 behavior to allow consistent integrators to be written.

- Kube-apiserver: ensures the namespace of objects sent to admission webhooks matches the request namespace. Previously, objects without a namespace set would have the request namespace populated after mutating admission, and objects with a namespace that did not match the request namespace would be rejected after admission.

- EndpointSlice IP validation now matches Endpoints IP validation. ([#101084](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101084), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott)) [SIG Apps and Network]

  * Mediates issue [#36859](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/36859). StatefulSet only acts on Pods whose identity matches the StatefulSet, providing a partial mediation for overlapping controllers.

### Taints and Tolerations

* Pod affinity `nodeSelectorTerm.matchExpressions` may now be empty, and works as previously documented: nil or empty `matchExpressions` matches no objects in scheduler. ([#62448](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62448), [@k82cn](https://github.com/k82cn))

  The scheduling hints allow the scheduler to only retry scheduling a `Pod`
  that was previously rejected by the `NodeAffinity` plugin if a new `Node` or a `Node` update matches the `Pod`'s node affinity. ([#119155](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119155), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory))

  `You shan't be beheaded!' said Alice, and she put them into a
large flower-pot that stood near.  The three soldiers wandered
about for a minute or two, looking for them, and then quietly
marched off after the others.

  `Are their heads off?' shouted the Queen.

  `Their heads are gone, if it please your Majesty!' the soldiers
shouted in reply.

- The alpha `Initializers` admission plugin is no longer enabled by default. This matches the off-by-default behavior of the alpha API which drives initializer behavior. ([#66039](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66039), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
