## Changes by Kind

### Deprecation

- Changed `kubectl version` default output to be identical to what `kubectl version --short` printed,
  and removed `--short` flag entirely. ([#116720](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116720), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))

- Kubeadm: when applying the overrides provided by the user using "extraArgs", do not sort the resulted list of arguments alpha-numerically. Instead, only sort the list of default arguments and keep the list of overrides unsorted. This allows finer control for flags which have an order that matters, such as, "--service-account-issuer" for kube-apiserver. ([#135853](https...

* Stability: Make Pod delete event handling of scheduler more robust. ([#58712](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58712), [@bsalamat](https://github.com/bsalamat))* Allow scheduler set AlwaysCheckAllPredicates, short circuit all predicates if one predicate fails can greatly improve the scheduling performance. ([#56926](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56926), [@wgliang](https://github.com/wgliang))

- The Job controller now creates pods in batches instead of all at once. ([#49142](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/49142), [@joelsmith](https://github.com/joelsmith)).

- Short `.spec.ActiveDeadlineSeconds` is properly applied to a Job. ([#48545](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48454), [@weiwei4](https://github.com/weiwei04)).


#### CLI Changes

### AWS

- The `kubectl top` command now includes a `--sort-by` option to sort by `memory` or `cpu`. ([#75920](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/75920), [@artmello](https://github.com/artmello))

- Kubeadm: when applying the overrides provided by the user using "extraArgs", do not sort the resulted list of arguments alpha-numerically. Instead, only sort the list of default arguments and keep the list of overrides unsorted. This allows finer control for flags which have an order that matters, such as, "--service-account-issuer" for kube-apiserver. ([#135850](https...

- `data_key_generation_latencies_microseconds` -> `data_key_generation_latencies_seconds`

## Notable Features

- Increased the histogram resolution of the API server client certificate  to accommodate short-lived (< 6h) client certificates. ([#74806](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74806), [@mxinden](https://github.com/mxinden))
