some applications.
 *  New: Override `equals()` and `hashCode()` in our new cookie class. This
    class now defines equality by value rather than by reference.
 *  New: Handle 408 responses by retrying the request. This allows servers to
    direct clients to retry rather than failing permanently.
 *  New: Expose the framed protocol in `Connection`. Previously this would

be created or updated. The behavior on the EndpointSlice controller has been modified to update the EndpointSlice without the Pods that reference non-existing Nodes and keep retrying until all Pods reference existing Nodes. However, if `service.Spec.PublishNotReadyAddresses` is set, all the Pods are published without retrying. Fixed EndpointSlices metrics to reflect correctly the number of desired EndpointSlices when no endpoints are present. ([#110639](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110639),...

- If `kubeadm reset` finds no etcd member ID for the peer it removes during the `remove-etcd-member` phase, it continues immediately to other phases, instead of retrying the phase for up to 3 minutes before continuing.
