- Fix data race in kube-scheduler when preemption races with a Pod update. ([#116438](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116438), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor)) [SIG Scheduling]

- Trace output in apiserver logs is more organized and comprehensive. Traces are nested, and for all non-long running request endpoints, the entire filter chain is instrumented (e.g. authentication check is included). ([#88936](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88936), [@jpbet...

* Fixed missing error checking that could cause kubelet to crash in a race condition. ([#60962](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60962), [@technicianted](https://github.com/technicianted))
* Bump Heapster to v1.5.2 ([#61396](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61396), [@kawych](https://github.com/kawych))

- 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. ([#134801](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134801), [@yuanwang04](https://github.com/yuanwang04)) [SIG Node and Testing]

- Fixed a race condition in the kube-proxy initialization that could cause UDP traffic to service VIP. ([#126532](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126532), [@wedaly](https://github.com/wedaly))
