using inotify watch to polling at an interval of every minute. Moved the logic to polling because there are variations on file changes (like symlink swapping of directories that contain the encryption config) that the file watch logic would fail to detect. Polling at a set interval prevents any such issues. Note that there is no guarantee on how quickly the API server will process the encryption config. The `apiserver_encryption_config_controller_automatic_reload_last_timestamp_seconds` metric must...

* fluentd config for GKE clusters updated: detect exceptions in container log streams and forward them as one log entry. ([#39656](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/39656), [@thomasschickinger](https://github.com/thomasschickinger))

- The deprecated flag `--lock-object-namespace` and `--lock-object-name` have been removed from kube-scheduler. Please use `--leader-elect-resource-namespace` and `--leader-elect-resource-name` or ComponentConfig instead to configure those parameters.

* kubelet: fix bug where `runAsUser: MustRunAsNonRoot` strategy didn't reject a pod with a non-numeric `USER`. ([#56711](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56711), [@php-coder](https://github.com/php-coder))

* Filter published OpenAPI schema by making nullable, required fields non-required in order to avoid kubectl to wrongly reject null values. ([#85733](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85733), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))

### Documentation

### Bug or Regression

- Adds the namespace when using 'kubectl logs <pod-name>' and the pod is not found. Previously the message returned would be 'Error from server (NotFound): pods "my-pod-name" not found'. This has been updated to reflect the namespace in the message as follows: 'Error from server (NotFound): pods "my-pod-name" not found in namespace "default"' ([#120111](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120111), [@newtondev](https://github.com/newtondev)) [SIG CLI]
