   * (To "go out of its way," the method tracks a `set` bit so that it can distinguish "the final

 *  New: CBC-mode ECDSA cipher suites have been removed from OkHttp's default
    configuration: `TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA` and
    `TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA`. This tracks a [Chromium
    change][remove_cbc_ecdsa] to remove these cipher suites because they are
    fragile and rarely-used.
 *  New: Don't fall back to common name (CN) verification for hostnames. This

- Fix a bug in cronjob controller where already created jobs...

- Add a `serving` and `terminating` condition to the EndpointSlice API.
  `serving` tracks the readiness of endpoints regardless of their terminating state. This is distinct from `ready` since `ready` is only true when pods are not terminating. 

- The iptables mode of kube-proxy now tracks accepted packets that are destined for node-ports on localhost by introducing `kubeproxy_iptables_localhost_nodeports_accepted_packets_total` metric.

- A new kubelet metric `image_pull_duration_seconds` was added. The metric tracks the duration (in seconds) it takes for an image to be pulled, including the time spent in the waiting queue of image puller. The metric is broken down by bucketed image size.
