* GCE: Service object now supports "Network Tiers" as an Alpha feature via...

For more information, see [#53040](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/53040).

* Object quotas are not consistently charged or updated. Specifically, the object count quota does not reliably account for uninitialized objects. Some quotas are charged only when an object is initialized. Others are charged when an object is created, whether it is initialized or not. We plan to fix this issue in a future release.

* If the `TokenRequestProjection` feature gate is disabled, projected serviceAccountToken volume sources are now dropped at object creation time, or at object update time if the existing object did not have a projected serviceAccountToken volume source. Previously, these would result in validation errors. ([#72714](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72714), [@mourya007](https://github.com/mourya007))...

* kubelets are no longer allowed to delete their own Node API object. Prior to 1.11, in rare circumstances related to cloudprovider node ID changes, kubelets would attempt to delete/recreate their Node object at startup. If a legacy kubelet encounters this situation, a cluster admin can remove the Node object: `kubectl delete node/<nodeName>` ([#62818](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62818), [@mikedanese](https://github.com/mikedanese))...

#### Other API changes:

- The CSINodeInfo feature gate is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. The storage.k8s.io/v1beta1 CSINode object is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. ([#83474](https://g...

l/59298), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz))

* The `meta.k8s.io/v1alpha1` objects for retrieving tabular responses from the server (`Table`) or fetching just the `ObjectMeta` for an object (as `PartialObjectMetadata`) are now beta as part of `meta.k8s.io/v1beta1` and configurations must be changed to use the new API.  Clients may request alternate representations of normal Kubernetes objects by passing an `Accept` header like `application/json;as=Table;g=meta.k8s.io;v=v1beta1` or...

via a new mime-type application/json;as=Table;v=v1alpha1;g=meta.k8s.io. The returned object (if the server supports it) will be of type meta.k8s.io/v1alpha1 with Table, and contain column and row information related to the resource. Each row will contain information about the resource - by default it will be the object metadata, but callers can add the ?includeObject=Object query parameter and receive the full object. In the future kubectl will use this to retrieve the results of `kubectl get`. ([#...

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 to promote the new [plugin mechanism to Beta](https:...

* `v1beta1` RoleBinding/ClusterRoleBinding subjects changed `apiVersion` to `apiGroup` to fully-qualify a subject. ServiceAccount subjects default to an apiGroup of `""`, User and Group subjects default to an apiGroup of `"rbac.authorization.k8s.io"`.
