* The `meta.k8s.io/v1alpha1` objects for retrieving tabular responses from the server (`Table`) or fetching just the `ObjectMeta` for an object (as `PartialObjectMetadata`) are now beta as part of `meta.k8s.io/v1beta1`.  Clients may request alternate representations of normal Kubernetes objects by passing an `Accept` header like `application/json;as=Table;g=meta.k8s.io;v=v1beta1` or `application/json;as=PartialObjectMetadata;g=meta.k8s.io;v1=v1beta1`....

- OpenAPI will no longer duplicate these schemas:
  - `io.k8s.apimachinery.pkg.apis.meta.v1.DeleteOptions_v2`
  - `io.k8s.apimachinery.pkg.apis.meta.v1.ObjectMeta_v2`
  - `io.k8s.apimachinery.pkg.apis.meta.v1.OwnerReference_v2`
  - `io.k8s.apimachinery.pkg.apis.meta.v1.StatusDetails_v2`

- Expose a `NewUnstructuredExtractor` from apply configurations `meta/v1` package that enables extracting objects into unstructured apply configurations. ([#103564](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/103564), [@kevindelgado](https://github.com/kevindelgado))

- Fix k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/api/meta.SetStatusCondition to update ObservedGeneration ([#95961](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95961), [@KnicKnic](https://github.com/KnicKnic)) [SIG API Machinery]

- DRA: ResourceClaim and PodSchedulingContext status updates no longer allow changing object meta data. ([#123730](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123730), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))

- Promoted meta.k8s.io/v1beta1 Table and PartialObjectMetadata to v1. ([#77136](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77136), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))

* [alpha] The Kubernetes API supports retrieving tabular output for API resources via a new mime-type application/json;as=Table;v=v1alpha1;g=meta.k8s.io. The returned object (if the server supports it) will be of type meta.k8s.io/v1alpha1 with Table, and contain column and row information related to the resource. Each row will contain information about the resource - by default it will be the object metadata, but callers can add...

- The errors in `k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/api/meta` now support for the `stdlibs` `errors.Is` matching, including when wrapped. ([#111808](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111808), [@alvaroaleman](https://github.com/alvaroaleman))
