* [Alpha] The Kubernetes API server now supports the ability to break large LIST calls into multiple smaller chunks. A client can specify a limit to the number of results to return.

- `kubectl get` no longer exits before printing all of its results if an error is found ([#70311](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70311), [@juanvallejo](https://github.com/juanvallejo))
- Fixed a runtime error occurring when sorting the output of `kubectl get` with empty results ([#70740](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70740), [@mfpierre](https://github.com/mfpierre))

<p>
Regardless of how they are declared, all the result values are initialized to
the <a href="#The_zero_value">zero values</a> for their type upon entry to the
function. A "return" statement that specifies results sets the result parameters before
any deferred functions are executed.

## Major Themes

### SIG API Machinery

SIG API work this cycle involved development of the "dry run" functionality, which enables users to see the results of a particular command without persisting those changes.

### SIG-autoscaling

SIG Autoscaling focused on improving the Horizontal Pod Autoscaling API and algorithm:

- Fixed authentication_duration_seconds metric scope. Previously, it included whole apiserver request duration which yields inaccurate results. ([#99944](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99944), [@marseel](https://github.com/marseel))

Wait for the server to report healthy (via `/healthz`) before depending on the information provided by the discovery APIs.
Additionally, since the information returned from the discovery APIs may change dynamically, a cache of the results should not be considered authoritative.
ETag support is planned in a future version to facilitate client caching.

- If firstTimestamp is not set use eventTime when printing event ([#94252](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94252), [@ingvagabund](https://github.com/ingvagabund)) [SIG CLI]
- Kube-apiserver: fixed a bug returning inconsistent results from list requests which set a field or label selector and set a paging limit ([#94002](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94002), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t)) [SIG API Machinery]

    - `scheduler_async_api_call_execution_total`: tracks executed API calls by call type and result (success/error)
    - `scheduler_async_api_call_duration_seconds`: histogram of API call execution duration by call type and result

- Updates that remove remaining `metadata.finalizers` from  an object that is pending deletion (non-nil metadata.deletionTimestamp) and has no graceful deletion pending (nil or 0 metadata.deletionGracePeriodSeconds) now results in immediate deletion of the object.
