* Third Party Resource tests in the e2e suite were incorrectly marked as part of the conformance bucket.  They are alpha and are not required for conformance. ([#52823](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52823), [@smarterclayton](https://github...

- `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))

- 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))

- 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.

* `apply` falls back to generic 3-way JSON merge patch for Third Party Resource or unregistered types ([#40666](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/40666), [@ymqytw](https://github.com/ymqytw))
