- Enhanced the daemonset sync logic to avoid a problem where pods are thought to be unavailable when the controller's clock is slower than the node's clock. ([#77208](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77208), [@DaiHao](https://github.com/DaiHao))

- Revised the logic for `DaemonSet` rolling update to exclude nodes if scheduling constraints are not met. This eliminates the problem of rolling updates to a `DaemonSet` getting stuck around tolerations. ([#119317](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119317), [@mochizuki875](https://github.com/mochizuki875))

* Federated DaemonSet controller. Supports all the API that regular DaemonSet has. ([#34319](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/34319), [@mwielgus](https://github.com/mwielgus))

* Introduce a new add-on pod NodeProblemDetector. ([#25986](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/25986), [@Random-Liu](https://github.com/Random-Liu))

### API Change

- 'ACTION REQUIRED: The Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) driver's DaemonSet
  must be deployed with a service account that enables writing ResourceSlice
  and reading ResourceClaim objects.'

- Revised the logic for DaemonSet rolling update to exclude nodes if scheduling constraints are not met.
  This eliminates the problem of rolling updates to a DaemonSet getting stuck around tolerations. ([#120785](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120785), [@mochizuki875](https://github.com/mochizuki875)) [SIG Apps and Testing]

### Apps

- Fix a bug that pods not be deleted from unmatched nodes by daemon controller ([#78974](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78974), [@DaiHao](https://github.com/DaiHao))
- Fix a bug that causes DaemonSet rolling update hang when there exist failed pods. ([#78170](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78170), [@DaiHao](https://github.com/DaiHao))

### Auth

- Kubernetes is now built with go 1.22.8 ([#128131](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128131), [@haitch](https://github.com/haitch)) [SIG Release and Testing]

### Bug or Regression

- Ensure daemonset controller to count old unhealthy pods towards max unavailable budget ([#127774](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127774), [@ncdc](https://github.com/ncdc)) [SIG Apps]

* update kubectl help output for better organization ([#25524](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/25524), [@AdoHe](https://github.com/AdoHe))
* daemonset controller should respect taints ([#31020](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/31020), [@mikedanese](https://github.com/mikedanese))
