* Advanced audit policy now supports matching subresources and resource names, but the top level resource no longer matches the subresouce. For example "pods" no longer matches requests to the logs subresource of pods. Use "pods/logs" to match subresources. ([#48836](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48836), [@ericchiang](https://github.com/ericchiang))

This release SIG API Machinery focused mainly on CustomResources. For example, subresources for CustomResources are now beta and enabled by default. With this, updates to the `/status` subresource will disallow updates to all fields other than `.status` (not just `.spec` and `.metadata` as before). Also, `required` and `description` can be used at the root of the CRD OpenAPI validation schema when the `/status` subresource is enabled.

        * requests from a node for a TLS client certificate for itself are approved if the CSR creator has `create` permission on the `certificatesigningrequests` resource and the `selfnodeclient` subresource in the `certificates.k8s.io` API group

* Audit policy supports matching subresources and resource names, but the top level resource no longer matches the subresouce. For example "pods" no longer matches requests to the logs subresource of pods. Use "pods/logs" to match subresources.

- Fixes a bug where Services using finalizers may hold onto ClusterIP and/or NodePort allocated resources for longer than expected if the finalizer is removed using the status subresource ([#120655](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120655), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Network and Testing]

- The pod/eviction subresource now accepts policy/v1 Eviction requests in addition to policy/v1beta1 Eviction requests ([#100724](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100724), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Architecture, Auth, CLI, Storage and Testing]

- An alpha flag `--subresource` is added to get, patch, edit replace kubectl commands to fetch and update status and scale subresources. ([#99556](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99556), [@nikhita](https://github.com/nikhita))

### Instrumentation

* For advanced auditing, audit policy supports subresources wildcard matching, such as "resource/", "/subresource","*". ([#55306](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55306), [@hzxuzhonghu](https://github.com/hzxuzhonghu))

 - Fixes a bug defining a default value for a replicas field in a custom resource definition that has the scale subresource enabled ([#90020](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/90020), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle and Instrumentation]

- Fixes a bug where Services using finalizers may hold onto ClusterIP and/or NodePort allocated resources for longer than expected if the finalizer is removed using the status subresource ([#120657](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120657), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Network and Testing]
