## Changes by Kind

### Deprecation

- Endpoints and EndpointSlice controllers no longer populate [resourceVersion of targetRef](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubernetes-api/common-definitions/object-reference/#ObjectReference) in Endpoints and EndpointSlices ([#108450](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108450), [@tnqn](https://github.com/tnqn))

### Documentation

- Fixed a regression that the scheduler always goes through all Filter plugins. ([#114518](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114518), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei))

- Migrated the `EndpointSlice` and `EndpointSliceMirroring` controllers (within `kube-controller-manager`) to use [contextual logging](https://k8s.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/system-logs/#contextual-logging). ([#115295](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115295),...

        self.endpoint_path = ctx.get("path")
        self.endpoint_file = ctx.get("file")
        self.endpoint_line = ctx.get("line")

    def errors(self) -> Sequence[Any]:
        return self._errors

    def _format_endpoint_context(self) -> str:
        if not (self.endpoint_file and self.endpoint_line and self.endpoint_function):
            if self.endpoint_path:

- Fixed: during the kube-controller-manager restart, when the corresponding Endpoints resource was manually deleted and recreated, causing the endpointslice to fail to be created normally. ([#125359](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125359), [@yangjunmyfm192085](https://github.com/yangjunmyfm192085)) [SIG Apps and Network]

- Fixed an EndpointSlice Controller hashing bug that could cause EndpointSlices to incorrectly handle Pods with duplicate IP addresses. For example this could happen when a new Pod reused an IP that was also assigned to a Pod in a completed state. ([#115907](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115907),...

- The following roles have had `Watch` added to them (prefixed with `system:controller:`):
  
  - `cronjob-controller`
  - `endpoint-controller`
  - `endpointslice-controller`
  - `endpointslicemirroring-controller`
  - `horizontal-pod-autoscaler`
  - `node-controller`
  - `pod-garbage-collector`
