([#64780](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64780), [@luxas](https://github.com/luxas))

* Add readyReplicas to replica sets ([#29481](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/29481), [@kargakis](https://github.com/kargakis))

- Added RuntimeClass restrictions and defaulting to PodSecurityPolicy. ([#73795](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73795), [@tallclair](https://github.com/tallclair))
- Kubelet plugin registration now has retry and exponential backoff logic for when registration of plugins (such as CSI or device plugin) fail. ([#73891](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73891), [@taragu](https://github.com/taragu))

### SIG API Machinery

[SIG API Machinery][] is responsible for all aspects of the API server: API registration and discovery, generic API CRUD semantics, admission control, encoding/decoding, conversion, defaulting, persistence layer (etcd), OpenAPI, third-party resources, garbage collection, and client libraries.

### Failing Test

- Kubelet Plugins are now re-registered properly  on Windows if the re-registration period is < 15ms. ([#114136](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114136), [@claudiubelu](https://github.com/claudiubelu)) [SIG Node, Storage, Testing and Windows]

### Bug or Regression

* The implicit registration of Prometheus metrics for workqueue has been removed, and a plug-able interface was added. If you were using workqueue in your own binaries and want these metrics, add the following to your imports in the main package: "k8s.io/pkg/util/workqueue/prometheus"....

- Fix a bug that a node Lease object may have been created without OwnerReference. ([#84998](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/84998), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))
- External facing APIs in plugin registration and device plugin packages are now available under k8s.io/kubelet/pkg/apis/ ([#83551](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83551), [@dims](https://github.com/dims))
### Release

- Kubelet: added retry of checking Unix domain sockets on Windows nodes for the plugin registration mechanism. ([#110075](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110075), [@luckerby](https://github.com/luckerby))

* Fix registration for scheduling framework plugins with the default plugin set ([#72396](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72396), [@y-taka-23](https://github.com/y-taka-23))

- Client-go: fixed the paged list calls with `ResourceVersionMatch` set would fail once paging is kicked in. ([#107311](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107311), [@fasaxc](https://github.com/fasaxc))
- Correct event registration for multiple scheduler plugins; this fixes a potential significant delay in re-queueing unschedulable pods. ([#109442](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109442), [@ahg-g](https://github.com/ahg-g))
