* `kubectl edit` now edits objects exactly as they were retrieved from the API. This allows using `kubectl edit` with third-party resources and extension API servers. Because client-side conversion is no longer done, the `--output-version` option is deprecated for `kubectl edit`. To edit using a particular API version, fully-qualify the resource, version, and group used to fetch the object (for example,...

    * Add `kubectl apply edit-last-applied` subcommand ([#42256](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/42256), [@shiywang](https://github.com/shiywang))

  * Strategic Merge Patch

    * Reference docs now display the patch type and patch merge key used by `kubectl apply` to merge and identify unique elements in arrays.

- Added `cronjobs.batch` to "all", so that `kubectl get all` returns them.

- Added flag `--include-uninitialized` to `kubectl annotate`, `apply`, `edit-last-applied`,
  `delete`, `describe`, `edit`, `get`, `label,` and `set`. `--include-uninitialized=true` makes
  kubectl commands apply to uninitialized objects, which by default are ignored

- The admin RBAC role now aggregates edit and view.  The edit RBAC role now aggregates view.  ([#66684](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66684), [@deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k))

- deprecate cleanup-ipvs flag ([#83832](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83832), [@gongguan](https://github.com/gongguan))
- Kube-proxy: emits a warning when a malformed component config file is used with v1alpha1. ([#84143](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/84143), [@phenixblue](https://github.com/phenixblue))

- The `system:aggregate-to-edit` role no longer includes write access to the Endpoints API. For new Kubernetes 1.22 clusters, the `edit` and `admin` roles will no longer include that access in newly created Kubernetes 1.22 clusters. This will have no affect on existing clusters upgrading to Kubernetes 1.22. To retain write access to Endpoints in the aggregated `edit` and `admin` roles for newly created 1.22 clusters, refer to https://github.com...

- `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))

* Fixes ability for admin/edit/view users to see controller revisions, needed for kubectl rollout commands ([#70699](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70699), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

* Add flag "--include-uninitialized" to kubectl annotate, apply, edit-last-applied, delete, describe, edit, get, label, set. "--include-uninitialized=true" makes kubectl commands apply to uninitialized objects, which by default are ignored if the names of the objects are not provided. "--all" also makes kubectl commands apply to uninitialized...

- ACTION_REQUIRED
  When an Indexed Job has a number of completions higher than 10^5 and parallelism higher than 10^4, and a big number of Indexes fail, Kubernetes might not be able to track the termination of the Job. Kubernetes now emits a warning, at Job creation, when the Job manifest exceeds both of these limits.
