### Documentation

      - kubelet_imagemanager_ondisk_pulledrecords - the number of image pulled records currently kept on disk
      - kubelet_imagemanager_image_mustpull_checks_total{result} - the number for how many times an image was checked against the pull records and the results of those checks ([#132812](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132812), [@stlaz](https://github.com/stlaz)) [SIG Auth and Node]

- Implemented `event_handling_duration_seconds` metric, which is the time the scheduler takes to handle each kind of events. ([#125929](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125929), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho))

- Because of the implementation logic of `time.Format` in golang, the displayed time zone is not consistent. ([#102366](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102366), [@cndoit18](https://github.com/cndoit18))

* Fix watch to not send the same set of events multiple times causing watcher to go back in time ([#73845](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73845), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))

  For more information, see [#56348](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/56348).

*   API server times out after performing a rolling update of the etcd cluster. This issue will be fixed in a future release.
