### Cluster Lifecycle

- Added to `MutableFeatureGate` the ability to override the default setting of feature gates, to allow default-enabling a feature on a component-by-component basis instead of for all affected components simultaneously. ([#122647](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122647), [@benluddy](https://github.com/benluddy))

        assertEquals("maven-surefire-plugin", pom.getValue("build/plugins[2]/artifactId"));
    }

- 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...

*   Fixes more issues caused by incomplete validation in boosted trees code
    ([CVE-2021-41208](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-41208))
*   Fixes an integer overflows in most sparse component-wise ops
    ([CVE-2022-23567](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2022-23567))
*   Fixes an integer overflows in `AddManySparseToTensorsMap`

  of objects which do not change frequently. ([#113362](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113362), [@sxllwx](https://github.com/sxllwx))
- `component-base/logs` is now stricter about not applying configurations multiple
  times and will return an error when that is attempted. Can be overridden by binaries

restarts. If the extended resource is exported by a device plugin, its capacity will change to a valid value after the device plugin re-connects with the Kubelet. If the extended resource is exported by an external component through direct node status capacity patching, the component should repatch the field after kubelet becomes ready again. During the time gap, pods previously assigned with such resources may fail kubelet admission but their controller should create new pods in response to such...

* Adds a metric apiserver_request_error_total to kube-apiserver. This metric tallies the number of request_errors encountered by verb, group, version, resource, subresource, scope, component, and code. ([#84780](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/84780), [@RainbowMango](https://github.com/RainbowMango))

* Kubelet: Periodically reporting image pulling progress in log ([#26145](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/26145), [@Random-Liu](https://github.com/Random-Liu))

- The Go API for logging configuration in `k8s.io/component-base` was moved to `k8s.io/component-base/logs/api/v1`. The configuration file format and command line flags are the same as before. ([#105797](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105797), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))
