- Kubeadm: improve the strict parsing of user YAML/JSON configuration files. Next to printing warnings for unknown and duplicate fields (current state), also print warnings for fields with incorrect case sensitivity - e.g. `controlPlaneEndpoint` (valid), `ControlPlaneEndpoint` (invalid). Instead of only printing warnings during `init` and `join` also print warnings when downloading...

* Bumps metrics-server version to v0.3.6 with following bugfix: ([#83907](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83907), [@olagacek](https://github.com/olagacek))

* kube-apiserver: Fixed a regression accepting patch requests > 1MB ([#84963](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/84963), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- Reduced log verbosity for high-frequency, low-value log entries in Job, IPAM, and ReplicaSet controllers by adjusting them to V(2), V(4) and V(4) respectively. This change minimizes log noise while maintaining access to these logs when needed. ([#130591](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130591), [@fmuyassarov](https://gith...

  - DaemonSet, Deployment, and ReplicaSet resources will no longer be served from `extensions/v1beta1`, `apps/v1beta1`, or `apps/v1beta2` in v1.16. Migrate to the `apps/v1` API, available since v1.9. Existing persisted data can be retrieved via the `apps/v1` API.

- Track ownership of scale subresource for all scalable resources i.e. Deployment, ReplicaSet, StatefulSet, ReplicationController, and Custom Resources. ([#98377](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98377), [@nodo](https://github.com/nodo)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]

### Feature

- Fixed an EndpointSlice Controller hashing bug that could cause EndpointSlices to incorrectly handle Pods with duplicate IP addresses. For example this could happen when a new Pod reused an IP that was also assigned to a Pod in a completed state.
