- Failed pods associated with a job with `parallelism = 1` are recreated by the job controller honoring exponential backoff delay again. However, for jobs with `parallelism > 1`, pods might be created without exponential backoff delay.

- Headless Services with no selector which were created without dual-stack enabled will be defaulted to RequireDualStack instead of PreferDualStack.  This is consistent with such Services which are created with dual-stack enabled.

  - Certificates created with kubeadm now have improved uniqueness of Distinguished Name fields.
- HA improvements:
  - `kubeadm join --experimental-control-plane` can now be used to join control plane instances to an existing cluster.
  - `kubeadm upgrade node experimental-control-plane` can now be used for upgrading secondary control plane instances created with `kubeadm join --experimental-control-plane`.

- Fixed a bug that caused duplicate validation when updating a ReplicaSet. ([#131873](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/131873), [@gavinkflam](https://github.com/gavinkflam)) [SIG Apps]
