What shipped
- IP/CIDR Validation feature graduates to GA, removing the feature gate requirement. Pull request #141979
- PodCertificateRequest and pod certificate projections now support ML-DSA algorithms for signing PKCS#10 CSRs. Pull request #142108
- kubectl explain command gains shell autocompletion support. Pull request #140058
- HPA now correctly excludes pod overhead from pod-level resource request calculations. Pull request #142154
- ResourceQuota validation no longer incorrectly rejects updates that preserve previously stored values. Pull request #142163
- StatefulSet restore from ControllerRevision now preserves only the .spec field to prevent unintended modifications. Pull request #142159
- Pod sorting by creation time now uses UID as a tie-breaker to ensure deterministic ordering. Pull request #141211
- Kubelet no longer incorrectly inherits probe state from replaced containers after restart. Pull request #141487
- LimitRanger no longer applies min/max checks to unchanged PersistentVolumeClaim requests on update. Pull request #142170
- Pod resize end-to-end tests now properly wait for resize actuation before continuing. Pull request #142106
Why it matters
Multiple bug fixes address correctness issues in resource management, scheduling, and validation that could affect production workloads. New features like kubectl autocompletion and ML-DSA support expand functionality for operators and security use cases.
