- Fixed a startup probe race condition that caused main containers to remain stuck in "Initializing" state when sidecar containers with startup probes failed initially but succeeded on restart in pods with restartPolicy=Never. ([#134800](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134800), [@yuanwang04](https://github.com/yuanwang04))...

- Fixed bug with leads to Node goes `Not-ready` state when credentials for vCenter stored in a secret and Zones feature is in use. Zone labels setup moved to KCM component, kubelet skips this step during startup in such case. If credentials stored in cloud-provider config file as plaintext current behaviour does not change and no action required. For proper functioning `kube-system:vsphere-legacy-cloud-provider`...

- Node affinity, Node selectors, and tolerations are now mutable for Jobs that are suspended and have never been started ([#105479](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105479), [@ahg-g](https://github.com/ahg-g))
- Pod template annotations and labels are now mutable for Jobs that are suspended and have never been started ([#105980](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105980), [@ahg-g](https://github.com/ahg-g))

*   `tf.nn.rnn_cell.DropoutWrapper` is now more careful about dropping out LSTM
    states. Specifically, it no longer ever drops the `c` (memory) state of an
    `LSTMStateTuple`. The new behavior leads to proper dropout behavior for
    LSTMs and stacked LSTMs. This bug fix follows recommendations from published
    literature, but is a behavioral change. State dropout behavior may be

* iSCSI sessions managed by kubernetes will now explicitly set startup.mode to 'manual' to  prevent automatic login after node failure recovery. This is the default open-iscsi mode, so this change will only impact users who have changed their startup.mode to be 'automatic' in /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf.

- Fix kubelet to properly log when a container is started. Previously, kubelet may log that container is dead and was restarted when it was actually started for the first time. This behavior only happened on pods with initContainers and regular containers. ([#91469](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/91469), [@rata](https://github.com/rata))...

- Force deleted pods may fail to terminate until the kubelet is restarted when the container runtime returns an error during termination. We have strengthened testing for runtime failures and now perform a more rigorous reconciliation to ensure static pods (especially those that use fixed UIDs) are restarted.  As a side effect of these changes static pods will be restarted with lower latency than before (2s vs 4s, on average) and rapid updates to pod configuration should...

time, but never ONE with such a neck as that!  No, no!  You're a

  `I HAVE tasted eggs, certainly,' said Alice, who was a very
truthful child; `but little girls eat eggs quite as much as
serpents do, you know.'
