Function   Behavior

print      prints all arguments; formatting of arguments is implementation-specific
println    like print but prints spaces between arguments and a newline at the end
</pre>

<p>
Implementation restriction: <code>print</code> and <code>println</code> need not
accept arbitrary argument types, but printing of boolean, numeric, and string
<a href="#Types">types</a> must be supported.

- When a watch is closed by an HTTP2 load balancer and we are told to go away, skip printing the message to stderr by default.
- Spedup kubectl by >10 when calling out to kube-apiserver for discovery information. ([#73345](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73345), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))

* Fix a bug that preempting a pod may block forever. ([#65987](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65987), [@Random-Liu](https://github.com/Random-Liu))
* fixes a regression in kubectl printing behavior when using go-template or jsonpath output that resulted in a "unable to match a printer" error message ([#65979](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65979), [@juanvallejo](https://github.com/juanvallejo))

- Fix image pulling failure when IMDS is unavailable in kubelet startup ([#110523](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110523), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx)) [SIG Cloud Provider]
- Fix printing resources with int64 fields ([#110602](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110602), [@sanchezl](https://github.com/sanchezl)) [SIG API Machinery]

- If firstTimestamp is not set use firstTimestamp or eventTime when printing event ([#91055](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/91055), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh)) [SIG CLI]

- Kubeadm: Consistently prefixed errors with error: when printing them. ([#132080](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132080), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))

- `can-i` to see if you can perform an action ([#41077](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41077), [@deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k))

#### Updates to existing commands
* Printing and output
  * Import a numeric ordering sorting library and use it in the sorting printer. ([#40746](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/40746), [@matthyx](https://github.com/matthyx))

- Kubeadm: improve the strict parsing of user YAML/JSON configuration files. Next to printing warnings for unknown and duplicate fields (current state), also print warnings for fields with incorrect case sensitivity - e.g. `controlPlaneEndpoint` (valid), `ControlPlaneEndpoint` (invalid). Instead of only printing warnings during `init` and `join` also print warnings when downloading the ClusterConfiguration, KubeletConfiguration or KubeProxyConfiguration...

- If firstTimestamp is not set use eventTime when printing event ([#94252](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94252), [@ingvagabund](https://github.com/ingvagabund)) [SIG CLI]
