- Added support for CEL expressions to `v1alpha1 AuthorizationConfiguration` webhook `matchConditions`. ([#121223](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121223), [@ritazh](https://github.com/ritazh))
- Added support for projecting `certificates.k8s.io/v1alpha1` ClusterTrustBundle objects into pods. ([#113374](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113374), [@ahmedtd](https://github.com/ahmedtd))

- Added `kubelet` stress test for pod cleanup when rejection due to `VolumeAttachmentLimitExceeded`. ([#133357](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/133357), [@torredil](https://github.com/torredil)) [SIG Node and Storage]

applied configuration. Removed fields which have no other owners are deleted from the live object, or reset to their default value if they have one. Safe ownership transfers, such as the transfer of a `replicas` field from a user to an HPA without resetting to the default value are documented in [Transferring Ownership](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/using-api/api-concepts/#transferring-ownership) ([#92661](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/92661), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz))...

- Removed a warning related to Linux user namespaces and kernel version. Previously, if the feature gate `UserNamespacesSupport` was enabled, the kubelet warned when detecting a Linux kernel version earlier than 6.3.0. While user namespace support generally requires kernel 6.3 or newer, it can also work on older kernels.

### Bug or Regression

- Avoid GCE API calls when initializing GCE CloudProvider for Kubelets.
  Avoid unnecessary GCE API calls when adding IP alises or reflecting them in Node object in GCE cloud provider. ([#96863](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96863), [@tosi3k](https://github.com/tosi3k)) [SIG Apps, Cloud Provider and Network]

- A pod that the Kubelet rejects was still considered as being accepted for a brief period of time after rejection, which might cause some pods to be rejected briefly that could fit on the node.  A pod that is still terminating (but has status indicating it has failed) may also still be consuming resources and so should also be considered. ([#104817](https:/...

- Fixed bug where explain was not properly respecting jsonpaths. ([#115694](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115694), [@mpuckett159](https://github.com/mpuckett159))

* kubelet: resolved hang/timeout issues when running large numbers of pods with unique configmap/secret references by reverting to 1.11 configmap/secret lookup behavior ([#74755](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74755), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

* **[beta]** Added support for mount options in persistent volumes.
* **[alpha]** All in one volume proposal - a new volume driver capable of projecting secrets, configmaps, and downward API items into the same directory.
