- Fixed a bug in the endpoints controller that failed to reconcile the Endpoint object after it was truncated (when it received more than 1000 endpoint addresses). ([#127417](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127417), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Apps, Network and Testing]

- Protobuf serialization of metav1.MicroTime timestamps (used in `Lease` and `Event` API objects) has been corrected to truncate to microsecond precision, to match the documented behavior and JSON/YAML serialization. Any existing persisted data is truncated to microsecond when read from etcd. ([#111936](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111936), [@haoruan](https://github.com/haoruan)) [SIG API Machinery]

- Single static pod files and pod files from http endpoints cannot be larger than 10 MB. HTTP probe payloads are now truncated to 10KB. ([#82669](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82669), [@rphillips](https://github.com/rphillips))

* Pre-existing log files are now opened with O_APPEND, instead of O_TRUNC. This helps prevent losing logs when components crash-loop, and also enables external log rotation utilities to truncate log files in-place without components extending log files to their pre-truncation sizes on subsequent writes.
