- A new flag, `--keepalive`, has been introduced, for kubectl proxy to allow setting keep-alive period for long-running request. ([#63793](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63793), [@hzxuzhonghu](https://github.com/hzxuzhonghu))

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Kube-apiserver: sets an upper-bound on the lifetime of idle keep-alive connections and time to read the headers of incoming requests ([#103958](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/103958), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery and Node]

## Dependencies

### Added

- Fixed a bug that unintentionally overrides custom Accept headers in http (live-/readiness)-probes if the header is in lowercase. ([#114606](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114606), [@tuunit](https://github.com/tuunit))

- For `kubectl`, `--server-side` now migrates ownership of all fields used by client-side-apply to the specified `--fieldmanager`. This prevents fields previously specified using kubectl from being able to live outside of server-side-apply's management and become undeleteable. ([#112905](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112905), [@alexzielenski](https://github.com/alexzielenski))

We are also continuing our long running effort to extract all the existing cloud providers that live in k8s.io/kubernetes into their own respective repos. Along with this migration, we are slowly transitioning users to use the cloud-controller-manager for any cloud provider features instead of the kube-controller-manager.
