- The PodDisruptionBudget API has been promoted to policy/v1 with no schema changes. The only functional change is that an empty selector (`{}`) written to a policy/v1 PodDisruptionBudget now selects all pods in the namespace. The behavior of the policy/v1beta1 API remains unchanged. The policy/v1beta1 PodDisruptionBudget API is deprecated and will no longer be served in 1.25+. ([#99290](https://github.com/kuber...

- The PodDisruptionBudget `spec.unhealthyPodEvictionPolicy` field has graduated to beta and is enabled by default. On servers with the feature enabled, this field may be set to `AlwaysAllow` to always allow unhealthy pods covered by the PodDisruptionBudget to be evicted.

    *   The default admin and edit roles now include read/write permissions
    *   The view role includes read permissions on poddisruptionbudget.policy resources.

- The PodDisruptionBudget `spec.unhealthyPodEvictionPolicy` field has graduated to GA. This field may be set to `AlwaysAllow` to always allow unhealthy pods covered by the PodDisruptionBudget to be evicted.

- '`PodDisruptionBudget` now adds an alpha `spec.unhealthyPodEvictionPolicy` field.
  When the `PDBUnhealthyPodEvictionPolicy` feature-gate is enabled in `kube-apiserver`,
  setting this field to `"AlwaysAllow"` allows pods to be evicted if they do not
  have a ready condition, regardless of whether the PodDisruptionBudget is currently
  healthy.'

- Fixes a regression in v1beta1 PodDisruptionBudget handling of `strategic merge patch`-type API requests for the `selector` field. Prior to 1.21, these requests would merge `matchLabels` content and replace `matchExpressions` content. In 1.21, patch requests touching the `selector` field started replacing the entire selector. This is consistent with server-side apply and the v1 PodDisruptionBudget behavior, but should not have been changed for v1beta1. ([#108138...
