* Fixes an issue with `kubectl set` commands encountering conversion errors for ReplicaSet and DaemonSet objects ([#53158](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53158), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))


# v1.8.0

Extensibility. SIG API Machinery added a new class of admission control webhooks (mutating), and brought the admission control webhooks to beta.

### Apps

The core workloads API, which is composed of the DaemonSet, Deployment, ReplicaSet, and StatefulSet kinds, has been promoted to GA stability in the apps/v1 group version. As such, the apps/v1beta2 group version is deprecated, and all new code should use the kinds in the apps/v1 group version.

### Auth

- The `controller.kubernetes.io/pod-deletion-cost` annotation can be set to offer a hint on the cost of deleting a `Pod` compared to other pods belonging to the same ReplicaSet. Pods with lower deletion cost are deleted first. This is an alpha feature. ([#99163](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99163), [@ahg-g](https://github.com/ahg-g))

#### Application Deployment
* StatefulSetStatus now tracks replicas, readyReplicas, currentReplicas, and updatedReplicas. The semantics of replicas is now consistent with DaemonSet and ReplicaSet, and readyReplicas has the semantics that replicas did prior to 1.7 ([#46669](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/46669), [@kow3ns](https://github.com/kow3ns)).

### Bug or Regression

- (PodSecurity admission) errors validating workload resources (deployment, replicaset, etc.) no longer block admission. ([#106017](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106017), [@tallclair](https://github.com/tallclair)) [SIG Auth]

* fix typo  ([#59619](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59619), [@jianliao82](https://github.com/jianliao82))

* DaemonSet, Deployment, ReplicaSet, and StatefulSet objects are now persisted in etcd in apps/v1 format ([#58854](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58854), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- Migrated the `ReplicaSet` controller (within `kube-controller-manager`) to use [contextual logging](https://k8s.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/system-logs/#contextual-logging). ([#114871](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114871), [@Namanl2001](htt...

- Track ownership of scale subresource for all scalable resources i.e. Deployment, ReplicaSet, StatefulSet, ReplicationController, and Custom Resources. ([#98377](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98377), [@nodo](https://github.com/nodo)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]

### Feature

  - DaemonSet, Deployment, and ReplicaSet resources will no longer be served from `extensions/v1beta1`, `apps/v1beta1`, or `apps/v1beta2` in v1.16. Migrate to the `apps/v1` API, available since v1.9. Existing persisted data can be retrieved via the `apps/v1` API.
