- Fixed a log line in scheduler that inaccurately implies that volume binding has finalized ([#116018](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116018), [@TommyStarK](https://github.com/TommyStarK))

*   [alpha] Topology Aware Volume Scheduling
    *   Improved volume scheduling for Local PersistentVolumes, by allowing the scheduler to make PersistentVolume binding decisions while respecting the Pod's scheduling requirements.
    *   Dynamic provisioning is not supported with this feature yet.
*   [alpha] Containerized mount utilities

- Automatically copy `topology.k8s.io/zone`, `topology.k8s.io/region` and `kubernetes.io/hostname` labels from Node objects to Pods when they are scheduled to a node (via the `pods/binding` endpoint) to allow applications that need to be explicitly aware of their assigned node topology to access this information via the downward API, rather than requiring permission to `get node` objects (exposing the entire API surface of the Node...

- Fixed a regression preventing garbage collection of RBAC role and binding objects ([#90534](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/90534), [@apelisse](https://github.com/apelisse)) [SIG Auth]

- Reduced excessive logging in the Volume Binding scheduler plugin by lowering the verbosity of high-frequency messages from `V(4)` to `V(5)`. ([#132840](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132840), [@ppmechlinski](https://github.com/ppmechlinski)) [SIG Autoscaling, Scheduling and Storage]...

- The `kube-proxy` command-line documentation was updated to clarify that
  `--bind-address` does not actually have anything to do with binding to an
  address, and you probably don't actually want to be using it. ([#120274](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120274), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship))

- The `kube-Proxy` now correctly filters out unready endpoints for Services with Topology. ([#106507](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106507), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott))
- The `pods/binding` subresource now honors `metadata.uid` and `metadata.resourceVersion` ([#105913](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105913), [@aholic](https://github.com/aholic))
- The kube-proxy sync_proxy_rules_iptables_total metric now gives

in a declaration, but it does not introduce a binding and thus is not declared.
In the package block, the identifier <code>init</code> may only be used for
<a href="#Package_initialization"><code>init</code> function</a> declarations,
and like the blank identifier it does not introduce a new binding.

- Fix: Route controller should update routes with NodeIP changed ([#116361](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116361), [@lzhecheng](https://github.com/lzhecheng)) [SIG Cloud Provider]
- Fixes a regression in the pod binding subresource to honor the `metadata.uid` precondition.
