+### Fixes
+
+#### Core
+
+- Only reschedule router and plugin iterator timers after finishing previous
+  execution, avoiding unnecessary concurrent executions.
+  [#8634](https://github.com/Kong/kong/pull/8634)
+- Implements conditional rebuilding of router, plugins iterator and balancer on
+  data planes. This means that DPs will not rebuild router if there were no
+  changes in routes or services. Similarly, the plugins iterator will not be
+  rebuilt if there were no changes to plugins, and, finally, the balancer will not be
+  reinitialized if there are no changes to upstreams or targets.
