- Kubelet.exe on Windows now checks that the process running as administrator and the executing user account is listed in the built-in administrators group.  This is the equivalent to checking the process is running as uid 0. ([#96616](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96616), [@perithompson](https://github.com/perithompson)) [SIG Node and Windows]

* support cross resource group for azure file ([#68117](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/68117), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* Return apiserver panics as 500 errors instead terminating the apiserver process. ([#68001](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/68001), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))

- Fixed graceful apiserver shutdown to not drop outgoing bytes before the process terminates. ([#72970](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72970), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))

### Apps

The `string()` method on response body is convenient and efficient for small documents. But if the response body is large (greater than 1 MiB), avoid `string()` because it will load the entire document into memory. In that case, prefer to process the body as a stream.

=== ":material-language-kotlin: Kotlin"
    ```kotlin
      private val client = OkHttpClient()

      fun run() {
        val request = Request.Builder()

- Added a redundant process to remove tracking finalizers from Pods that belong to Jobs. The process kicks in after the control plane marks a Job as finished. ([#119944](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119944), [@Sharpz7](https://github.com/Sharpz7))

     * comment: Number of documents to process per reindex operation.
     * @return The value of found property. (NotNull: if not found, exception but basically no way)

    String getIndexReindexSize();

    /**
     * Get the value for the key 'index.reindex.size' as {@link Integer}. <br>
     * The value is, e.g. 100 <br>

Multi-arch support (EXPERIMENTAL):
  - kubeadm now adds support for docker “schema 2” manifest lists. This is preliminary part of the process of making kubeadm based k8s deployments to support multiple architectures.
Deprecating features:
  - The Alpha feature-gates HighAvailability, SelfHosting, CertsInSecrets are now deprecated, and will be removed in k8s v1.13.0.

* Return apiserver panics as 500 errors instead terminating the apiserver process. ([#68001](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/68001), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))

* Local volume source paths that are directories and not mount points fail to unmount.  A fix is in process ([#48331](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/48331)).

 * Futures#transform(ListenableFuture, Function, Executor) Futures.transform}, but you will often
 * find it easier to use a framework. Frameworks automate the process, often adding features like
 * monitoring, debugging, and cancellation. Examples of frameworks include:
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li><a href="https://dagger.dev/producers.html">Dagger Producers</a>
 * </ul>
