* Role bindings since the default scopes now include the "userinfo.email"
    * scope. This is a breaking change if the numeric uniqueIDs of the Google
    * service accounts were being used in RBAC role bindings. The behavior
    * can be overridden by explicitly specifying the scope values as
    * comma-separated string in the "users[*].config.scopes" field in the
    * KUBECONFIG file.

### Not Very Notable (that is, non-user-facing)

- Unit tests have been added for scopes and scope selectors in the quota spec ([#66351](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66351), [@vikaschoudhary16](https://github.com/vikaschoudhary16)) Courtesy of SIG Node, and SIG Scheduling

  the garbage collector starts to manage it.


#### Monitoring/Prometheus
* [action required] The WATCHLIST calls are now reported as WATCH verbs in prometheus for the apiserver_request_* series.  A new "scope" label is added to all apiserver_request_* values that is either 'cluster', 'resource', or 'namespace' depending on which level the query is performed at.([#52237](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52237))

- Make Azure clients only retry on specified HTTP status codes ([#88017](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88017), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

## Release Notes From SIGs

### SIG API Machinery

- The OwnerReferencesPermissionEnforcement admission plugin now checks authorization for the correct scope (namespaced or cluster-scoped) of the owner resource type. Previously, it always checked permissions at the same scope as the child resource. ([#70389](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70389), [@caesarxuchao](https://github.com/caesarxuchao))

- New flag is introduced, i.e. --topology-manager-scope=container|pod. 
  The default value is the "container" scope. ([#92967](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/92967), [@cezaryzukowski](https://github.com/cezaryzukowski)) [SIG Instrumentation, Node and Testing]

- CRD deep copies should no longer contain shallow copies of `JSONSchemaProps.XValidations`. ([#107956](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107956), [@benluddy](https://github.com/benluddy))

- Kube-apiserver: events created via the `events.k8s.io` API group for cluster-scoped objects are now permitted in the default namespace as well for compatibility with events clients and the `v1` API ([#100125](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100125), [@h4ghhh](https://github.com/h4ghhh))

storage, etcd, has a new release 3.5.0 and the community embraced it. The new release comes with improvements to the Security, performance, monitoring and developer experience. There are numerous bug fixes to lease objects causing memory leaks, and compact operation causing deadlocks and more. A couple of new features are also introduced like the migration to structured logging and build in log rotation. The release comes with a detailed future roadmap to implement a solution to traffic overload. A full...

- client-go: The `rest.AnonymousClientConfig(*rest.Config) *rest.Config` helper method no longer copies custom `Transport` and `WrapTransport` fields, because those can be used to inject user credentials.
