## Changes by Kind

### Deprecation

- Cluster addon for dashboard was removed. To install dashboard, see [here](https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard/blob/master/docs/user/README.md). ([#107481](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107481), [@shu-mutou](https://github.com/shu-mutou)) [SIG Cloud Provider and Testing]

- E2e framework: the `node-role.kubernetes.io/master` taint has been removed from the default value of `--non-blocking-taints` flag. You may need to set `--non-blocking-taints` explicitly if the cluster to be tested has nodes with the deprecated `node-role.kubernetes.io/master` taint. ([#118510](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118510), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu)) [SIG Testing]

- Kubeadm: stop applying the "node-role.kubernetes.io/master:NoSchedule" taint to control plane nodes for new clusters. Remove the taint from existing control plane nodes during "kubeadm upgrade apply" ([#110095](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110095), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle and Testing]

### SIG Network

For 1.13, the areas of focus were in IPv6, DNS improvements and some smaller items:
CoreDNS is now the default cluster DNS passing all of the scale/resource usage tests

- [`KT-58731`](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-58731) Fix failues in Mac tests in kt-master, kt-231-1.9.0 and kt-223-1.9.0
- [`KT-59248`](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-59248) Fix failures in Mac tests and Android Tests in kt-223-master and kt-231-master
- [`KT-58732`](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-58732) Run kt-master Mac tests on cloud Mac
- [`KT-57686`](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-57686) Fix KMM UI tests again

- Kubeadm: remove the deprecated / NO-OP phase `update-cluster-status` in `kubeadm reset` ([#105888](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105888), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))

- Kubeadm: add support for the "ci/k8s-master" version label as a replacement for "ci-cross/*", which no longer exists. ([#86609](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/86609), [@Pensu](https://github.com/Pensu)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

- [KCCM - service controller]: enable connection draining for terminating pods upon node downscale by the cluster autoscaler. This is done by not reacting to the taint used by the cluster autoscaler to indicate that the node is going away soon, thus keeping the node referenced by the load balancer until the VM has been completely...
