*   Problems deleting local static pods have been resolved....

* Fix a race condition in which kubeadm only waits for the kubelets kubeconfig file when it has performed the TLS bootstrap, but wasn't waiting for certificates to be present in the filesystem ([#72030](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72030), [@ereslibre](https://github.com/ereslibre))

- Static pods were taking extra time to be restarted after being updated.  Static pods that are waiting to restart were not correctly counted in `kubelet_working_pods`. ([#116995](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116995), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton)) [SIG Node]

- Kubeadm: Ensured waiting for `apiserver` uses a local client that doesn't reach to the control plane endpoint and instead reaches directly to the local API server endpoint. ([#134265](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134265), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))...

- Added apiserver.latency.k8s.io/apf-queue-wait annotation to the audit log
  to record the time spent waiting in APF queue. ([#123919](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123919), [@hakuna-matatah](https://github.com/hakuna-matatah))

   The `read_vs_write_current_requests` metric histogram is adjusted, in the case of using API Priority and Fairness instead of max-in-flight, to divide by the relevant limit: sum of queue capacities for waiting requests, sum of seat limits for executing requests. ([#110164](https://github.com/kubernetes/k...

* Fixed issue 63608, which is that under rare circumstances the ResourceQuota admission controller could lose track of an request in progress and time out after waiting 10 seconds for a decision to be made. ([#64598](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64598), [@MikeSpreitzer](https://github.com/MikeSpreitzer))

    - Traffic to a service IP now starts getting rejected (as opposed to
      merely dropped) as soon as there are no longer any *usable*
      endpoints, rather than waiting until all of the terminating
      endpoints have terminated even when those terminating endpoints
      were not being used.
  
    - Chains for endpoints that won't be used are no longer output to

- Kubeadm: better surface errors during `kubeadm upgrade` when waiting for the kubelet to restart static pods on control plane nodes ([#108315](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108315), [@Monokaix](https://github.com/Monokaix))
