* Self hosted is no longer supported in the standard workflow. The feature flags have been removed and your self hosted cluster is no longer able to upgrade via kubeadm. ([#69878](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/69878), [@Klaven](https://github.com/Klaven))

- **Network**
  - [stable] Services can reference another service by DNS name, rather than being hosted in pods ([kubernetes/features#33](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/33))

* Fix erroneous FailedSync and FailedMount events being periodically and indefinitely posted on Pods after kubelet is restarted ([#44781](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/44781), [@wongma7](https://github.com/wongma7))

*   kubectl `top node` now sorts by name and `top pod` sorts by namespace. Fixed a bug where results were inconsistently sorted. ([#53560](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53560),[ @dixudx](https://github.com/dixudx))

  restrictions that already apply to CustomResourceDefinition.
  If rule evaluation uses more compute than the limit, the API server aborts the evaluation and the
  admission check that was being performed is aborted; the `failurePolicy` for the ValidatingAdmissionPolicy
  determines the outcome. ([#115747](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115747), [@cici37](https://github.com/cici37))

- Structured Authentication Configuration now supports `DiscoveryURL`. If specified, `discoveryURL` overrides the URL used to fetch discovery information. This is for scenarios where the well-known and jwks endpoints are hosted at a different location than the issuer (such as locally in the cluster).
   ([#123527](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123527), [@aramase](https://github.com/aramase))
