## Changelog since v1.30.0-alpha.1

## Changelog since v1.28.6

## Changelog since v1.29.1

mostly focused on stabilizing the items we’ve been working on over the past releases such as server-side printing and its support in kubectl, as well as finishing [kubectl diff which is based on server-side dry-run feature](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/object-management/#how-to-create-objects). We’ve continued separating kubectl code to prepare for extraction out of main repository. Finally, thanks to the awesome support and feedback from community we’ve managed...

#### CLI Changes

- [alpha] `kubectl` plugins: `kubectl` now allows binary extensibility. You can extend the default set of `kubectl` commands by writing plugins
  that provide new subcommands. Refer to the documentation for more information.

- `kubectl rollout` and `rollback` now support StatefulSet.

- `kubectl scale` now uses the Scale subresource for kinds in the apps/v1beta2 group.

### `kubectl debug` graduates to Beta

`kubectl alpha debug` graduates from alpha to beta in 1.20, becoming `kubectl debug`.
`kubectl debug` provides support for common debugging workflows directly from kubectl. Troubleshooting scenarios supported in this release of `kubectl` include:

- Kubectl: `kubectl get` will omit managed fields by default now. Users could set `--show-managed-fields` to true to show managedFields when the output format is either `json` or `yaml`. ([#96878](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96878), [@knight42](https://github.com/knight42)) [SIG CLI and Testing]

For stable features, the `kubectl` tool follows the Kubernetes [version skew policy](https://kubernetes.io/releases/version-skew-policy/);
however, kubectl v1.21 and older do not support the new API for ephemeral containers.
