* `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"`.

* 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))...

* 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))...

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`. ([#...

`objectSelector` is evaluated the oldObject and newObject that would be sent to the webhook, and is considered to match if either object matches the selector. A null object (oldObject in the case of create, or newObject in the case of delete) or an object that cannot have labels (like a DeploymentRollback or a PodProxyOptions object) is not considered to match. Use the object selector only if the webhook is opt-in, because end users may skip the admission webhook by setting the labels. ([#78505](htt...

- Allowed creating ServiceAccount tokens bound to Node objects.
  This allows users to bind a service account token's validity to a named Node object, similar to Pod bound tokens.

* 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...

  - A namespaced object with an ownerReference referencing a uid of a namespaced kind which does not exist in the same namespace is now consistently treated as though that owner does not exist, and the child object is deleted.
