<p>
The capacity, in number of elements, sets the size of the buffer in the channel.
If the capacity is zero or absent, the channel is unbuffered and communication
succeeds only when both a sender and receiver are ready. Otherwise, the channel
is buffered and communication succeeds without blocking if the buffer
is not full (sends) or not empty (receives).

* Fixed potential deadlock when deleting CustomResourceDefinition for custom resources with finalizers. ([#60542](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60542), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

* A buffered audit backend can be used with other audit backends. ([#60076](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60076), [@crassirostris](https://github.com/crassirostris))

- JSON log output is configurable and now supports writing info messages to stdout and error messages to stderr. Info messages can be buffered in memory. The default is to write both to stdout without buffering, as before. ([#104873](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104873), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))

- Support for out of tree networking with Azure-CNI, OVN-Kubernetes and Flannel
- Improved support for pods, service types, workload controllers and metrics/quotas to closely match the capabilities offered for Linux containers

- Fix creation of custom resources when the CRD contains non-conventional pluralization and subresources ([#66249](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66249), [@deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k))
- Aadjusted http/2 buffer sizes for apiservers to prevent starvation issues between concurrent streams ([#67902](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67902), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- Kubectl: Add `--use-protocol-buffers` flag to kubectl top pods and nodes. ([#96655](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96655), [@serathius](https://github.com/serathius))

- `Scheduler` now registers event handlers dynamically. ([#101394](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101394), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei))
