- `Kubelet` no longer creates certain legacy iptables rules by default.
  It is possible that this will cause problems with some third-party components
  that improperly depended on those rules. If this affects you, you can run
  `kubelet` with `--feature-gates=IPTablesOwnershipCleanup=false`, but a bug should also be filed against the third-party component. ([#114472](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114472), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship))

#### Updates to edit

- Fixed a bug in the single-numa-node policy of the TopologyManager.  Previously, pods that only requested CPU resources and did not request any third-party devices would fail to launch with a TopologyAffinity error. Now they will launch successfully. ([#83697](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83697), [@klueska](https://github.com/klueska))

[SIG API Machinery][] is responsible for all aspects of the API server: API registration and discovery, generic API CRUD semantics, admission control, encoding/decoding, conversion, defaulting, persistence layer (etcd), OpenAPI, third-party resources, garbage collection, and client libraries.

- The underlying format of the `CPUManager` state file has changed. Upgrades should be seamless, but any third-party tools that rely on reading the previous format need to be updated. ([#84462](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/84462), [@klueska](https://github.com/klueska)) [SIG Node and Testing]

* [Kubelet] Check if kubelet is running as uid 0 ([#30466](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/30466), [@vishh](https://github.com/vishh))
* Fix third party APIResource reporting ([#29724](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/29724), [@brendandburns](https://github.com/brendandburns))

* The Kubelet now explicitly registers all of its command-line flags with an internal flagset, which prevents flags from third party libraries from unintentionally leaking into the Kubelet's command-line API. Many unintentionally leaked flags are now marked deprecated, so that users have a chance to migrate away from them before they are removed. In addition, one previously...

The focus of this release is **compatibility** with Pydantic v1 and v2, to make sure your current apps keep working. Later there will be more focus on refactors, correctness, code improvements, and then **performance** improvements. Some third-party early beta testers that ran benchmarks on the beta releases of FastAPI reported improvements of **2x - 3x**. Which is not bad for just doing `pip install --upgrade fastapi pydantic`. This was not an official benchmark and I didn't check it myself,...
