    • Significantly improved Available, EtcdClusterHealthy and ControlPlaneComponentsHealthy conditions on KCP
    • 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)

• 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)
