- Preserved existing namespace information in manifests when running `
set ... --local` commands. ([#77267](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77267), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

### Cloud Provider

    * action required: Cloud providers other than GCE might want to update their deployments or sample yaml files to reuse the role created via add-on.

### Other notable changes

- 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))

`poison,' it is almost certain to disagree with you, sooner or
later.

  However, this bottle was NOT marked `poison,' so Alice ventured
to taste it, and finding it very nice, (it had, in fact, a sort
of mixed flavour of cherry-tart, custard, pine-apple, roast
turkey, toffee, and hot buttered toast,) she very soon finished
it off.

- Kubeadm: removed the toleration for the `node-role.kubernetes.io/master` taint from the CoreDNS deployment of `kubeadm`. With the 1.25 release of kubeadm the taint `node-role.kubernetes.io/master` is no longer applied to control plane nodes and the toleration for it can be removed with the release of 1.26. You can also perform the same toleration removal from your own...

* kubeadm has removed the `.ImagePullPolicy` field in the v1alpha2 API version. Instead it's set statically to `IfNotPresent` for all required images. If you want to always pull the latest images before cluster init (as `Always` would do), run `kubeadm config images pull` before each `kubeadm init`. If you don't want the kubelet to pull any images at `kubeadm init` time, for example if you don't have an internet connection, you can also run `kubeadm config images pull` before `kubeadm...
