- Replaced Boolean-pointer-helper functions with the `k8s.io/utils/ptr` implementations. ([#132794](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132794), [@PatrickLaabs](https://github.com/PatrickLaabs)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, CLI, Node and Testing]

- Made `kubectl-convert` binary linking static (also affects the deb and rpm packages). ([#114228](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114228), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert))
- Migrated controller helper functions to use contextual logging. ([#115049](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115049), [@fatsheep9146](https://github.com/fatsheep9146))

- Added `kubectl node drain` helper callbacks `OnPodDeletionOrEvictionStarted`
  and `OnPodDeletionOrEvictionFailed`; people extending `kubectl` can use these
  new callbacks for more granularity. Deprecated the `OnPodDeletedOrEvicted`

- The `RemoteRequestHeaderUID` feature moves to beta and is now enabled by default. This makes the kube-apiserver propagate UIDs in the `X-Remote-Uid` header in requests to the aggregated API servers. The header is not honored by default for incoming requests, but that can be enabled by setting the `--requestheader-uid-headers` flag explicitly. ([#130560](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130560), [@stlaz](https://github.com/stlaz))...

- Changed: default "Accept-Encoding" header removed from HTTP probes. See https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-liveness-readiness-startup-probes/#http-probes ([#96127](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96127), [@fonsecas72](https://github.com/fonsecas72)) [SIG Network and Node]

- client-go: The `rest.AnonymousClientConfig(*rest.Config) *rest.Config` helper method no longer copies custom `Transport` and `WrapTransport` fields, because those can be used to inject user credentials. ([#75771](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/75771), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- `--log-flush-frequency` had no effect in several commands or was missing. Help and warning texts were not always using the right format for a command (`add_dir_header` instead of `add-dir-header`). Fixing this included cleaning up flag handling in component-base/logs: that package no longer adds flags to the global flag sets. Commands which want the klog and `--log-flush-frequency`...

* Fixes CVE-2019-11250: client-go header logging (at verbosity levels >= 7) now masks `Authorization` header contents ([#81330](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81330), [@tedyu](https://github.com/tedyu))

* Fix charms leaving services running after remove-unit ([#48446](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48446), [@Cynerva](https://github.com/Cynerva))
* Added helper funcs to schedulercache.Resource. ([#46926](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/46926), [@k82cn](https://github.com/k82cn))
