    The `apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1` version of `CustomResourceDefinition` is deprecated and will no longer be served in v1.19. ([#79604](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/79604), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

  - When registering with a 1.17+ API server, a CustomResourceDefinition conversion webhook can now request that only `v1` ConversionReview requests be sent to them. Previously, conversion webhooks were required to support receiving `v1beta1` ConversionReview requests as well for compatibility with API servers...

- Alpha support for field selectors on custom resources has been added. With the `CustomResourceFieldSelectors` feature gate enabled, the CustomResourceDefinition API now allows specifying `selectableFields`. Listing a field there enables filtering custom resources for that CustomResourceDefinition in list or watch requests. ([#122717](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122717), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz))

- CustomResourceDefinition schemas that use `x-kubernetes-list-map-keys` to specify properties that uniquely identify list items must make those properties required or have a default value, to ensure those properties are present for all list items. See https://kub...

- CustomResourceDefinition objects created with non-empty `caBundle` fields which are invalid or do not contain any certificates will not appear in discovery or serve endpoints until a valid `caBundle` is provided. Updates to CustomResourceDefinition are no longer allowed to transition a valid `caBundle` field to an invalid `caBundle` field, because this breaks serving of the...

* 'cj' has been added as a shortname for CronJobs, as in `kubectl get cj` ([#59499](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59499), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))

* `crds` has been added as a shortname for CustomResourceDefinition, as in `kubectl get crds` ([#59061](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59061), [@nikhita](https://github.com/nikhita))

* The deprecated `ThirdPartyResource` (TPR) API was removed.
  To avoid losing your TPR data, [migrate to CustomResourceDefinition](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-kubernetes-api/migrate-third-party-resource/).

* The following deprecated flags were removed from `kube-controller-manager`:

- Added CEL runtime cost calculation into ValidatingAdmissionPolicy, matching the evaluation cost
  restrictions that already apply to CustomResourceDefinition.
  If rule evaluation uses more compute than the limit, the API server aborts the evaluation and the
  admission check that was being performed is aborted; the `failurePolicy` for the ValidatingAdmissionPolicy
