Changelog since v1.34.0-alpha.2

Changes by Kind

API Change

DRA: the v1alpha4 kubelet gRPC API (added in 1.31, superseded in 1.32) is no longer supported. DRA drivers using the helper package from Kubernetes >= 1.32 use the v1beta1 API and continue to be supported. (#132574, @pohly) [SIG Node]
Deprecate StreamingConnectionIdleTimeout field of the kubelet config. (#131992, @lalitc375) [SIG Node]
Removed deprecated gogo protocol definitions from k8s.io/cri-api in favor of google.golang.org/protobuf. (#128653, @saschagrunert) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, Instrumentation, Node and Testing]
Replaced deprecated package 'k8s.io/utils/pointer' with 'k8s.io/utils/ptr' for the apiextensions-apiserver apiextensions. (#132723, @PatrickLaabs) [SIG API Machinery]
Replaced deprecated package 'k8s.io/utils/pointer' with 'k8s.io/utils/ptr' for the component-base. (#132754, @PatrickLaabs) [SIG API Machinery, Architecture, Instrumentation and Scheduling]
Replaced deprecated package 'k8s.io/utils/pointer' with 'k8s.io/utils/ptr' for the kube-aggregator apiregistration. (#132701, @PatrickLaabs) [SIG API Machinery]
Replaces Boolean-pointer-helper functions with the "k8s.io/utils/ptr" implementations. (#132794, @PatrickLaabs) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, CLI, Node and Testing]
Replaces deprecated package 'k8s.io/utils/pointer' with 'k8s.io/utils/ptr' for the apiserver (1/2). (#132751, @PatrickLaabs) [SIG API Machinery and Auth]
Simplied validation error message for required fields by removing redundant messages. (#132472, @xiaoweim) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Architecture, Auth, Cloud Provider, Network, Node and Storage]

Feature

Add configurable flags to kube-apiserver for coordinated leader election. (#132433, @michaelasp) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]
Add support for --cpu, --memory flag to kubectl autoscale, start deprecating --cpu-precent. (#129373, @googs1025) [SIG CLI]
Added SizeBasedListCostEstimate feature gate that allows apiserver to estimate sizes of objects to calculate cost of LIST requests (#132355, @serathius) [SIG API Machinery and Etcd]
DRA kubelet: the kubelet now also cleans up ResourceSlices in some additional failure scenarios (driver gets removed forcibly or crashes and does not restart). (#132058, @pohly) [SIG Node and Testing]
Graduate StreamingCollectionEncodingToJSON and StreamingCollectionEncodingToProtobuf to GA (#132648, @serathius) [SIG API Machinery]
Kubeadm: graduated the kubeadm specific feature gate WaitForAllControlPlaneComponents to GA. The feature gate is now locked to always enabled and on node initialization kubeadm will perform a health check for all control plane components and not only the kube-apiserver. (#132594, @neolit123) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]
Static pods that reference API objects are now denied admission by the kubelet so that static pods would not be silently running even after the mirror pod creation fails. (#131837, @sreeram-venkitesh) [SIG Auth, Node and Testing]
The new dra_resource_claims_in_use kubelet metrics informs about active ResourceClaims, overall and by driver. (#131641, @pohly) [SIG Architecture, Instrumentation, Node and Testing]
When RelaxedServiceNameValidation feature gate is enabled, the names of new Services names are validation with NameIsDNSLabel(), relaxing the pre-existing validation. (#132339, @adrianmoisey) [SIG Apps, Network and Testing]

Failing Test

Fixed e2e test "[Driver: csi-hostpath] [Testpattern: Dynamic PV (filesystem volmode)] volumeLimits should support volume limits]" not to leak Pods and namespaces. (#132674, @jsafrane) [SIG Storage and Testing]

Bug or Regression

Add podSpec validation for create StatefulSet (#131790, @chengjoey) [SIG Apps, Etcd and Testing]
Clarify help message of --ignore-not-found flag. Support --ignore-not-found in watch operation. (#132542, @gemmahou) [SIG CLI]
DRA drivers: the resource slice controller sometimes didn't react properly when kubelet or someone else deleted a recently created ResourceSlice. It incorrectly assumed that the ResourceSlice still exists and didn't recreate it. (#132683, @pohly) [SIG Apps, Node and Testing]
Ensure objects are transformed prior to storage in SharedInformers if a transformer is provided and WatchList is activated (#131799, @valerian-roche) [SIG API Machinery]
Fix validation for Job with suspend=true, and completions=0 to set the Complete condition. (#132614, @mimowo) [SIG Apps and Testing]
Fixed a bug that fails to create a replica set when a deployment name is too long. (#132560, @hdp617) [SIG API Machinery and Apps]
Fixed the bug when swap related metrics were not available in /metrics/resource endpoint. (#132065, @yuanwang04) [SIG Node and Testing]
Fixed the problem of validation error when specifying resource requirements at the container level for a resource not supported at the pod level. It implicitly interpreted the pod-level value as 0. (#132551, @chao-liang) [SIG Apps]
HPA status now displays memory metrics using Ki (#132351, @googs1025) [SIG Apps and Autoscaling]
Removed defunct make vet target, please use make lint instead (#132509, @yongruilin) [SIG Testing]
Statefulset now respects minReadySeconds (#130909, @Edwinhr716) [SIG Apps]
