the zone is chosen by algorithm. It makes possible to spread stateful pods across many zones. ([#44798](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/44798), [@zetaab](https://github.com/zetaab))

* PodSpecs containing parent directory references such as `..` (for example, `../bar`) in hostPath volume path or in volumeMount subpaths must be changed to the simple absolute path. Backsteps `..` are no longer allowed.([#47290](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/47290), [@jhorwit2...

### Bug or Regression

- Added a new event `FailedToRetrieveImagePullSecret` which will be generated when a pod references an `ImagePullSecret` that doesn't exist. ([#117927](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117927), [@kaisoz](https://github.com/kaisoz)) [SIG Node]

- CRD writes will generate validation errors if a CEL validation rule references the identifier `oldSelf` on a part of the schema that does not support it. ([#108013](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108013), [@benluddy](https://github.com/benluddy))

    potentially aliased go_binary targets and dereference to the effective
    target.
  
    The comment references an issue with `pure = select(...)` which appears

  - make kube::util::find-binary not dependent on bazel-out/ structure
  

* Fix incorrect retry logic in scheduler ([#50106](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50106), [@julia-stripe](https://github.com/julia-stripe))
