## What's New

### Cluster-Level Resource Propagation Pause and Resume

This release provides a capability that supports the pause and resume of resource propagation at the cluster granularity, bringing more possibilities to developing, operating, and maintaining the system.

In some scenarios, Karmada users would like to control the timing of the synchronization of the above resource changes themselves, such as:

* As a developer, when the Karmada control plane competes with member clusters for control of resources, there is a situation where resources are repeatedly updated. Pausing the process of synchronizing the resource to the member clusters would be helpful to quickly locate the problem.

* As a release manager, this feature allows for control over which clusters receive application updates, thus achieving a rolling update cluster by cluster.

With the cluster-level resource propagation pause and resume capabilities, users will be able to better control the propagation of resources.

For a detailed description of this feature, see the [User Guide](https://karmada.io/docs/next/userguide/scheduling/resource-propagating/#suspend-and-resume-of-resource-propagation).

(Feature contributors: @a7i, @XiShanYongYe-Chang)

### Karmadactl Offers More Advanced Features

In this release, the Karmada community is dedicated to enhancing Karmadactl capabilities and improving its functionalities from multiple perspectives.

- Richer command set

Karmadactl has implemented new commands, such as `create`, `patch`, `delete`, `label`, `annotate`, `edit`, `attach`, `top node`,`api-resources` and `explain`, which allow users to perform more operations on resources in the Karmada control plane or member clusters.

- Richer capabilities

Karmadactl introduces the `--operation-scope` flag to control the scope of command operations. With the new flag, the commands `get`, `describe`, `exec`, and `explain` can operate on resources in the Karmada control plane or member clusters.

- More detailed command output information

The output of the `karmadactl get cluster` command now add the information of `Zones`, `Region`, `Provider`, `API-Endpoint`, and `Proxy-URL`.

With these capability enhancements, the operational experience of `karmadactl` could be improved. The new capabilities and more information about `karmadactl` can be obtained using `karmadactl --help`.

(Feature contributors: @hulizhe, @zhzhuang-zju, @whitewindmills, @a7i, @guozheng-shen, @grosser)

### Consistent generation semantics for multi-cluster workloads

In this release, Karmada has introduced consistent generation semantics for workloads running on multiple clusters. This update provides a reliable reference for release systems, enhancing the precision of multi-cluster deployments. By standardizing the generation semantics, Karmada simplifies the release process and ensures that workload statuses are consistently tracked, making it easier to manage and monitor applications across multiple clusters.

The following resource adaptations have been completed.

- GroupVersion: apps/v1
Kind: Deployment, DaemonSet, StatefulSet

- GroupVersion: apps.kruise.io/v1alpha1
Kind: CloneSet, DaemonSet

- GroupVersion: apps.kruise.io/v1beta1
Kind: StatefulSet

- GroupVersion: helm.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v2beta1
Kind: HelmRelease

- GroupVersion: kustomize.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1
Kind: Kustomization

- GroupVersion: source.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1
Kind: GitRepository

- GroupVersion: source.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1beta2
Kind: Bucket, HelmChart, HelmRepository, OCIRepository

For a detailed description of this feature, see the [issue](https://github.com/karmada-io/karmada/issues/4870).

### Karmada Operator Supports Custom CRD Download Strategy

CRD (Custom Resource Definition) resources are crucial prerequisite resources used by the Karmada operator for provisioning a new Karmada instance. 
This release `Karmada-Operator` Supports Custom CRD Download Strategy. With this, users can specify the download path for CRD resources and define more download strategies, providing richer and more configurable CRD download capabilities.

For a detailed description of this feature, see the [Proposal: Custom CRD Download Strategy Support for Karmada Operator](https://github.com/karmada-io/karmada/tree/master/docs/proposals/operator-custom-crd-download-strategy)

(Feature contributors: @jabellard)

## Other Notable Changes
### API Changes
- Introduced `Suspension` to the `PropagationPolicy/ClusterPropagationPolicy` API to provide a cluster-level resource propagation pause and resume capabilities. ([#4838](https://github.com/karmada-io/karmada/pull/4838), @a7i)
- Introduced `Dispatching` condition to the `Work` API to represent the dispatching status. ([#5317](https://github.com/karmada-io/karmada/pull/5317), @a7i)
- `ResourceInterpreterCustomization`: Added two additional printer columns, TARGET-API-VERSION and TARGET-KIND, to represent the target resource type, these columns will be displayed in the output of kubectl get. ([#5077](https://github.com/karmada-io/karmada/pull/5077), @a7i)
- `PropagationPolicy`/`ClusterPropagationPolicy`: Added two additional printer columns, `Conflict-Resolution` and `Priority`, to represent the conflict resolution strategy and priority, these columns will be displayed in the output of kubectl get. ([#5077](https://github.com/karmada-io/karmada/pull/5077), @a7i)
- Introduced `CRDTarball` to the `Karmada` API to supports custom CRD download strategy. ([#5185](https://github.com/karmada-io/karmada/pull/5185) @jabellard)

### Deprecation
- The following labels that were deprecated(replaced by `propagationpolicy.karmada.io/permanent-id` and `clusterpropagationpolicy.karmada.io/permanent-id`) at release-1.10 now have been removed:
    * propagationpolicy.karmada.io/namespace 
    * propagationpolicy.karmada.io/name 
    * clusterpropagationpolicy.karmada.io/name
- Specification of merics and health probe port parameters. Karmada introduced the `--metrics-bind-address` and `--health-probe-bind-address` flags and deprecated the following labels. This is a compatible change as the default values remain unchanged from previous versions. (contributors: @whitewindmills, @seanlaii, @liangyuanpeng)
    * The flags deprecated by `karmada-agent` are:
      --bind-address
      --secure-port
    * The flags deprecated by `karmada-controller-manager` are:
      --bind-address
      --secure-port
    * The flags deprecated by `karmada-descheduler` are:
      --bind-address
      --secure-port
    * The flags deprecated by `karmada-scheduler` are:
      --bind-address
      --secure-port
    * The flags deprecated by `karmada-scheduler-estimator` are:
      --bind-address
      --secure-port

### Security
- `Security Enhancement`: Introduced TLS certificate authentication mechanism to secure gRPC connections to `karmada-scheduler-estimator`. ([#5040](https://github.com/karmada-io/karmada/pull/5040), @zhzhuang-zju)
    * The flags added to `karmada-scheduler-estimator` are:
      --grpc-auth-cert-file
      --grpc-auth-key-file 
      --grpc-client-ca-file 
      --insecure-skip-grpc-client-verify 
    * The flags added to `karmada-scheduler` are:
      --scheduler-estimator-ca-file
      --scheduler-estimator-key-file
      --scheduler-estimator-cert-file
      --insecure-skip-estimator-verify
    * The flags added to `karmada-descheduler` are:
      --scheduler-estimator-ca-file
      --scheduler-estimator-key-file
      --scheduler-estimator-cert-file
      --insecure-skip-estimator-verify
    The added filed don't require any adoption during the process of upgrading from a previous version of Karmada, but gives an optional and recommended wait to secure the gRPC connection.
- In this release, Karmada has invested significant effort in enhancing Karmada maturity based on [Clomonitor check sets](https://clomonitor.io/docs/topics/checks/).
