- First pod with required affinity terms can schedule only on nodes with matching topology keys. ([#91168](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/91168), [@ahg-g](https://github.com/ahg-g)) [SIG Scheduling]

- Fix azure disk naming matching issue due to case sensitive comparison ([#81720](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81720), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))

- Kube-apiserver: The timeout used when making health check calls to etcd can now be configured with `--etcd-healthcheck-timeout`. The default timeout is 2 seconds, matching the previous behavior.

- Added optional `--detect-local-mode` flag to kube-proxy. Valid values are "ClusterCIDR" (default matching previous behavior) and "NodeCIDR" ([#87748](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87748), [@satyasm](https://github.com/satyasm)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle, Network and Scheduling]

- The errors in `k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/api/meta` now support for the `stdlibs` `errors.Is` matching, including when wrapped. ([#111808](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111808), [@alvaroaleman](https://github.com/alvaroaleman))
