- Made `apiextensions-apiserver` binary linking static (also affects the deb and rpm packages). ([#114226](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114226), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert))

*   [beta] API chunking via the limit and continue request parameters is promoted to beta in this release. Client libraries using the Informer or ListWatch types will automatically opt in to chunking.

- Added `WatchListClient` feature gate to `client-go`. When enabled, it allows the client to receive a stream of individual items instead of chunking from the server.

* `kubeadm init` can now omit the tainting of the master node if configured to do so in `kubeadm.yaml` using `noTaintMaster: true`. For example, uses can create a file with the content:

```
apiVersion: [kubeadm.k8s.io/v1alpha1](http://kubeadm.k8s.io/v1alpha1)

  </mime-type>
  <mime-type type="application/vnd.cab-jscript"/>

  The new feature gate activates a framework for fine-grained filtering of events related to scheduler plugins.
  In this release, no default scheduling plugins make use of the hinting framework, so you should not expect any behavior changes. ([#119328](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119328), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho)) [SIG Scheduling]
