The Kubelet now supports the CRI `v1` API, which is now the project-wide default.
If a container runtime does not support the `v1` API, Kubernetes will fall back to the `v1alpha2` implementation.
There is no intermediate action required by end-users, because `v1` and `v1alpha2` do not differ in their implementation.
It is likely that `v1alpha2` will be removed in one of the future Kubernetes releases to be able to develop `v1`.

- Client-go certificate manager rotation gained the ability to preserve optional intermediate chains accompanying issued certificates ([#88744](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88744), [@jackkleeman](https://github.com/jackkleeman)) [SIG API Machinery and Auth]

    *   Ability to inspect Python source file against TF ops and tensors
        (command `print_source` / `ps`)
    *   New navigation bar in Curses-based UI
    *   NodeStepper (command `invoke_stepper`) now uses intermediate tensor
        dumps. It also uses `TensorHandles` as direct feeds during successive
        `cont` calls for improved performance and reduced memory consumption.

## Changelog since v1.2.6

### Other notable changes

* Test x509 intermediates correctly ([#34524](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/34524), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))



# v1.2.6

 *  Fix: Don't crash loading the public suffix database resource in obfuscated builds.
 *  Fix: Don't silently ignore calls to `EventSource.cancel()` made from
    `EventSourceListener.onOpen()`.
 *  Fix: Enforce the max intermediates constraint when using pinned certificates with Conscrypt.
    This impacts Conscrypt when the server's presented certificates form both a trusted-but-unpinned
    chain and an untrusted-but-pinned chain.
