- Fixed a bug where a deleted Pod in the binding phase continued to occupy space on the node in `kube-scheduler`. ([#134157](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134157), [@macsko](https://github.com/macsko)) [SIG Scheduling and Testing]

- Upgraded the `kubectl autoscale` subcommand to use `autoscaling/v2` rather than `autoscaling/v1` APIs. 
The command now attempts to use the `autoscaling/v2` API first. If the `autoscaling/v2` API is 
unavailable or an error occurs, it falls back to the `autoscaling/v1` API. ([#128950](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128950), [@googs1025](https://github.com/googs1025)) [SIG Autoscaling and CLI]

- LimitRange and Endpoints resources can be created via an update API call if the object does not already exist. When this occurs, an authorization check is now made to ensure the user making the API call is authorized to create the object. In previous releases, only an update authorization check was performed.

- If a conflict occurs when creating an object with `generateName`, the server now returns an "AlreadyExists" error with a retry option. ([#104699](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104699), [@vincepri](https://github.com/vincepri))

- Client-go: Clients can request protobuf and json and correctly negotiate with the server for JSON for CRD objects, allowing all client libraries to request protobuf if it is available.  If an error occurs negotiating a watch with the server, the error is immediately return by the client `Watch()` method instead of being sent as an `Error` event on the watch stream.
