This release also introduces several vulnerability fixes:

*   Fixes an FPE in TFLite in conv kernel [CVE-2023-27579](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-27579)

### Introducing Graceful Node Shutdown (Alpha)

### Kubernetes release cadence change

- The PR adds functionality to generate events when a PV or PVC processing encounters certain failures. The events help users to know the reason for the failure so they can take necessary recovery actions. ([#89845](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89845), [@yuga711](https://github.com/yuga711)) [SIG Apps]

### Auth

- Added `kubectl auth can-i --list` option, which allows users to  know what actions they can do in specific namespaces. ([#64820](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64820), [@WanLinghao](https://github.com/WanLinghao))

### Serverside Apply - Beta 2

Server-side Apply was promoted to Beta in 1.16, but is now introducing a second Beta in 1.18. This new version will track and manage changes to fields of all new Kubernetes objects, allowing you to know what changed your resources and when.
