beta and enabled by default. CustomResourceDefinitions with [structural schemas](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/blob/master/keps/sig-api-machinery/20190425-structural-openapi.md) now publish schemas in the OpenAPI document served at `/openapi/v2`. CustomResourceDefinitions with non-structural schemas have a `NonStructuralSchema` condition added with details about what needs to be corrected in the validation schema. ([#77825](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77825), [@royc...

- The `CustomResourceDefaulting` feature is promoted to beta and enabled by default. Defaults may be specified in structural schemas via the `apiextensions.k8s.io/v1` API. See https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-kubernetes-api/custom-resources/custom-resource-definitions/#specifying-a-structural-schema for details. ([#81872](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81872), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))

* kube-apiserver: The `AdmissionConfiguration` type accepted by `--admission-control-config-file` has been promoted to `apiserver.config.k8s.io/v1` with no schema changes. ([#85098](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85098), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))...

  - The `/swaggerapi/*` schema docs, deprecated since 1.7, have been removed in favor of the /openapi/v2 schema docs. ([#72924](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72924), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- Fixed a bug that prevents kubectl to validate CRDs with schema using x-kubernetes-preserve-unknown-fields on object fields.

- Removed deprecated command `kubectl stop`.

- Kubectl can now use http caching for the OpenAPI schema. The cache
  directory can be configured by passing the `--cache-dir` command line flag to kubectl.
  If set to an empty string, caching is disabled.

- Kubectl now performs validation against OpenAPI schema instead of Swagger 1.2. If
  OpenAPI is not available on the server, it falls back to the old Swagger 1.2.

  - The schema for the alpha `CSINodeInfo` CRD has been split into `spec` and `status` fields, and new fields `status.available` and `status.volumePluginMechanism` added. Clusters using the previous alpha schema must delete and recreate the CRD using the new schema. ([#70515](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70515), [@davidz627](https://github.com/davidz627))

  - Published OpenAPI for the StatefulSet schema is corrected to indicate the `.spec.serviceName` is optional. ([#130233](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130233), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Testing]

### Other notable changes

default. With this, updates to the `/status` subresource will disallow updates to all fields other than `.status` (not just `.spec` and `.metadata` as before). Also, `required` and `description` can be used at the root of the CRD OpenAPI validation schema when the `/status` subresource is enabled.

In addition, users can now create multiple versions of CustomResourceDefinitions, but without any kind of automatic conversion, and CustomResourceDefinitions now allow specification of additional...
