*   `kubectl cp` now honors destination names for directories. A complete directory is now copied; in previous versions only the file contents were copied. ([#51215](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51215),[ @juanvallejo](https://github.com/juanvallejo))

not include those `$ref` fields. ([#58438](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58438), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory))

* Webhooks now do not skip cluster-scoped resources. Before upgrading your Kubernetes clusters, double check whether you have configured webhooks for cluster-scoped objects (e.g., nodes, persistentVolume), as these webhooks will start to take effect. Delete/modify the configs if that's not desirable. ([#58185](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58185),...

<p>
The function <code>copy</code> copies slice elements from
a source <code>src</code> to a destination <code>dst</code> and returns the
number of elements copied.
Both arguments must have <a href="#Type_identity">identical</a> element type
<code>E</code> and must be assignable to a slice of type <code>[]E</code>.
The number of elements copied is the minimum of
<code>len(src)</code> and <code>len(dst)</code>.

- Fixed an issue with garbage collection failing to clean up namespaced children of an object also referenced incorrectly by cluster-scoped children ([#98068](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98068), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery and Apps]

- Ensure all vSphere nodes are are tracked by volume attach-detach controller ([#96689](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96689), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))
- Ensure empty string annotations are copied over in rollbacks. ([#94858](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94858), [@waynepeking348](https://github.com/waynepeking348))

- `AppArmor` profiles specified in the Pod or container `SecurityContext` were no longer copied to deprecated `AppArmor` annotations (prefix `container.apparmor.security.beta.kubernetes.io/`). Anything that inspected the deprecated annotations must be migrated to use the `SecurityContext` fields instead. ([#131989](https://github.com/kubern...

## Release Notes From SIGs

### SIG API Machinery

- The OwnerReferencesPermissionEnforcement admission plugin now checks authorization for the correct scope (namespaced or cluster-scoped) of the owner resource type. Previously, it always checked permissions at the same scope as the child resource. ([#70389](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70389), [@caesarxuchao](https://github.com/caesarxuchao))

- CRD deep copies should no longer contain shallow copies of `JSONSchemaProps.XValidations`. ([#107956](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107956), [@benluddy](https://github.com/benluddy))

- 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))

* Admission webhooks rules can now limit scope to only match namespaced, or only cluster-scoped resources with a `scope: "Cluster" | "Namespaced" | "*"` field. ([#74477](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74477), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
