- CRD `x-kubernetes-validations` rules now support the CEL functions: `isSorted`, `sum`, `min`, `max`, `indexOf`, `lastIndexOf`, `find` and `findAll`. ([#108312](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108312), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz))

If a package has imports, the imported packages are initialized
before initializing the package itself. If multiple packages import
a package, the imported package will be initialized only once.
The importing of packages, by construction, guarantees that there
can be no cyclic initialization dependencies.

In this release the SIG again focused on further improving the user experience on cluster creation and also fixing a number of bugs and other assorted improvements.

Some notable changes in kubeadm since Kubernetes 1.12:

- Refactored `test/e2e/framework` so that the core framework is smaller. Optional functionality like resource monitoring, log size monitoring, metrics gathering and debug information dumping must be imported by specific e2e test suites. Init packages are provided which can be imported to re-enable the functionality that traditionally was in the core framework. If you have code that no longer compiles because of this PR, you can use the script [from a commit message](https://github.com/ku...

* Group and order imported packages. ([#48399](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48399), [@k82cn](https://github.com/k82cn))

* APIServices with kube-like versions (e.g. `v1`, `v2beta1`, etc.) will be sorted appropriately within each group.  ([#64004](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64004), [@mbohlool](https://github.com/mbohlool))

### Uncategorized

- Fixed an issue where `kubectl apply` could panic when imported as a library.

## Dependencies

### Added

*   kubectl `top node` now sorts by name and `top pod` sorts by namespace. Fixed a bug where results were inconsistently sorted. ([#53560](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53560),[ @dixudx](https://github.com/dixudx))

- Two changes to the `/debug/api_priority_and_fairness/dump_priority_levels` endpoint of API Priority and Fairness: added total number of dispatched, timed-out, rejected and cancelled requests; output now sorted by `PriorityLevelName`. ([#112393](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112393), [@borgerli](https://github.com/borgerli))
- Unlocked the `CSIMigrationvSphere` feature gate.

- kubeadm: make sure the extra environment variables written to a kubeadm managed PodSpec are sorted alpha-numerically by the environment variable name. ([#126743](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126743), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]
