- The pod phase lifecycle guarantees that terminal Pods, those whose states are Unready or Succeeded, can not regress and will have all container stopped. Hence, terminal Pods will never be reachable and should not publish their IP addresses on the Endpoints or EndpointSlices, independently of the Service TolerateUnready option.

* Only use the first IP address got from instance metadata. This is because Azure CNI would set up a list of IP addresses in instance metadata, while only the first one is the Node's IP. ([#71736](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71736), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

     * SmbFile objects are equal when they reference the same SMB
     * resource. More specifically, two <code>SmbFile</code> objects are
     * equals if their server IP addresses are equal and the canonicalized
     * representation of their URLs, minus authentication parameters, are
     * case insensitively and lexographically equal.

- Added warnings to the Services API. Kubernetes now warns for Services in the case of:
  - IPv4 addresses with leading zeros
  - IPv6 address in non-canonical format (RFC 5952) ([#114505](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114505), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))
