- Improved the scalability of the PVC Protection Controller by batch-processing PVCs by namespace and implementing lazy live pod listing. ([#126745](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126745), [@hungnguyen243](https://gith...

- CCM server will not listen insecurely if secure port is specified ([#68982](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/68982), [@aruneli](https://github.com/aruneli))

* Allow kube- and cloud-controller-manager to listen on ports up to 65535. ([#65860](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65860), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))
* Allow kube-scheduler to listen on ports up to 65535. ([#65833](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65833), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))

- The resource version option, when passed to a list call, is now consistently interpreted as the minimum allowed resource version.  Previously when listing resources that had the watch cache disabled clients could retrieve a snapshot at that exact resource version.  If the client requests a resource version newer than the current state, a TimeoutError is returned suggesting the client retry in a few...

- Add --permit-address-sharing flag to `kube-apiserver` to listen with `SO_REUSEADDR`. While allowing to listen on wildcard IPs like 0.0.0.0 and specific IPs in parallel, it avoids waiting for the kernel to release socket in `TIME_WAIT` state, and hence, considerably reducing `kube-apiserver` restart times under certain conditions. (...

Other notable changes include:
* CoreDNS replaces kube-dns as the default DNS provider

- Added support to the kube-proxy nodePortAddresses / --nodeport-addresses option to
  accept the value "primary", meaning to only listen for NodePort connections
  on the node's primary IPv4 and/or IPv6 address (according to the Node object).
  This is strongly recommended, if you were not previously using
  --nodeport-addresses, to avoid surprising behavior.

- Missing directories listed in a user's PATH are no longer considered errors and are instead logged by the `kubectl plugin list` command when listing available plugins. ([#73542](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73542), [@juanvallejo](https://github.com/juanvallejo))
- Now users can get object info like:

  ```bash

- Alpha support for field selectors on custom resources has been added. With the `CustomResourceFieldSelectors` feature gate enabled, the CustomResourceDefinition API now allows specifying `selectableFields`. Listing a field there enables filtering custom resources for that CustomResourceDefinition in list or watch requests.

### Service
* Endpoints, that tolerate unready Pods, are now listing Pods in state Terminating as well ([#37093](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/37093), [@simonswine](https://github.com/simonswine))
