* Update the GCE windows node image to include hot fixes since July. ([#81233](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81233), [@YangLu1031](https://github.com/YangLu1031))
* switch to VM Update call in attach/detach disk operation, original CreateOrUpdate call may lead to orphaned VMs or blocked resources ([#81208](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81208), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))

- A new `DisableCompression` field (default = `false`) has been added to kubeconfig under cluster info. When set to `true`, clients using the kubeconfig opt out of response compression for all requests to the apiserver. This can help improve list call latencies significantly when client-server network bandwidth is ample (>30MB/s) or if the server is CPU-constrained. ([#112309](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112309), [@shyamjvs](https://github.com/shyamjvs))...

- Added `UserNamespacesPodSecurityStandards` feature gate to enable user namespace support for Pod Security Standards.
  Enabling this feature will modify all Pod Security Standard rules to allow setting: `spec[.*].securityContext.[runAsNonRoot,runAsUser]`.
  This feature gate should only be enabled if all nodes in the cluster support the user namespace feature and have it enabled.

- Kubeadm: the `bridge-nf-call-iptables=1` and `bridge-nf-call-ip6tables=1` preflight checks are removed since not all the network implementations require this setting, network plugins are responsible for setting this correctly depending on whether or not they connect containers to Linux bridges or use some other mechanism....

- Fixed missing delete events on informer re-lists to ensure all delete events were correctly emitted and using the latest known object state, so that all event handlers and stores always reflect the actual apiserver state as best as possible ([#11...

      *  add a "partialDisruption" mode, when more than 33% of Nodes in the zone are not Ready
      *  add "fullDisruption" mode, when all Nodes in the zone are not Ready
    * Eviction behavior depends on the mode in which NodeController is operating:
      * if the new state is "partialDisruption" or "fullDisruption" we call a user defined function that returns a new QPS to use (default 1/10 of the default rate, and the default rate respectively),

- CRI-API: IPs returned by `PodSandboxNetworkStatus`` are ignored by the kubelet for host-network pods. ([#106715](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106715), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))
