    • Added Paused conditions
    • Improved counter fields for Cluster, KCP, MD, MS
    • Added utils and extended patch helper for v1beta2 conditions
• ClusterCache supersedes the now deprecated ClusterCacheTracker (#11272)
• ClusterClass: Support oneOf/anyOf/allOf/not in variable schemas (#10637)
• Improved logging in predicates (#10959 #11239 #11188)
• KubeadmControlPlane: Implement pre-terminate hook for clean Machine Deletion (#11137)
• KubeadmControlPlane: NamingStrategy for Machines (#11123)
• MachineSetPreflightChecks feature got promoted to beta (#11228)

• New providers in clusterctl: Canonical (#11337), Nutanix (#11135), Vultr (#11091)

Deprecation and Removals Warning

• API: Deprecated FailureMessage and FailureReason fields (#11317)
• The ClusterCacheTracker component has been deprecated (#11312 #11340), please use the new ClusterCache instead.
  • For more context and examples for how to use it, see PR: Introduce new ClusterCache and the corresponding issue
  • Please note:
    • The DisabledFor option (previously ClientUncachedObjects) is not defaulted to &corev1.ConfigMap & &corev1.Secret anymore, thus it’s now necessary to explicitly set DisabledFor to avoid caching ConfigMaps and Secrets.
    • SecretClient and UserAgent are now mandatory options, please take a look at the corresponding godoc.
  • The --clustercachetracker-concurrency, --clustercachetracker-client-qps and --clustercachetracker-client-burst flags on all core CAPI controllers have been renamed to --clustercache-concurrency, --clustercache-client-qps and --clustercache-client-burst
• The deprecated --metrics-bind-addr flag has been removed (#11140)
• Deprecated obsolete errors package (#10798)
• Deprecated ClusterCreateInfraReady and ClusterUnpausedAndInfrastructureReady predicates (#11300)

Highlights

This release contains an important fix for KCP
with Kubernetes v1.31. We recommend all users to upgrade to this release.

The fix required the introduction of a pre-terminate hook that is automatically added and managed by the KCP controller
for KCP control plane Machines. If your control plane Machines are using Kubernetes 1.31, KCP will make sure that
its pre-terminate hook is run last. This is done to ensure that the terminating Node has a working kubelet / Node
while other pre-terminate hooks are executed.

More details about the issue can be found in Drain not being performed for KCP machines with K8s v1.31.x .
