- Fixed a race condition in the iptables mode of kube-proxy in `1.27` and later
  that could result in some updates getting lost (e.g., when a service gets a
  new endpoint, the rules for the new endpoint might not be added until
  much later). ([#122204](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122204), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship))

file is now loaded with strict deserialization, which fails if the config file contains duplicate or unknown fields. This protects against accidentally running with config files that are malformed, mis-indented, or have typos in field names, and getting unexpected behavior.

- Revised the logic for DaemonSet rolling update to exclude nodes if scheduling constraints are not met.
  This eliminates the problem of rolling updates to a DaemonSet getting stuck around tolerations. ([#120792](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120792), [@mochizuki875](https://github.com/mochizuki875)) [SIG Apps and Testing]
