- When registering with a 1.17+ API server, a CustomResourceDefinition conversion webhook can now request that only `v1` ConversionReview requests be sent to them. Previously, conversion webhooks were required to support receiving `v1beta1` ConversionReview requests as well for compatibility with API servers <= 1.15. ([#82707](https://github.com/kubernetes/...

    * Custom apiservers built with the latest apiserver library will have the 100MB limit on the body of resource requests as well. The limit can be altered via ServerRunOptions.MaxRequestBodyBytes.
    * The body size limit does not apply to subresources like pods/proxy that proxy request content to another server.

- Metric names for CSI and flexvolume drivers will include the driver name as well as the CSI plugin name. ([#96474](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96474), [@mattcary](https://github.com/mattcary)) [SIG Instrumentation and Storage]

* Fixes bugs that make apiserver panic when aggregating valid but not well formed OpenAPI spec ([#63635](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63635), [@roycaihw](https://github.com/roycaihw))

* **[alpha]** New Bootstrap Token authentication and management method. Works well with kubeadm. kubeadm now supports managing tokens, including time based expiration, after the cluster is launched.  See [kubeadm reference docs](https://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/kubeadm/#manage-tokens) for details.

- The apiserver debug endpoint `/debug/api_priority_and_fairness/dump_requests` has been extended to dump executing requests as well as queued ones.  A column for StartTime has been added to the returned table, with the queued requests having a StartTime of "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z".  The executing requests have a RequestIndexInQueue of -1, and the QueueIndex is also -1 for priority...

It upgrades the version of Starlette to `0.15.0`, now based on [AnyIO](https://anyio.readthedocs.io/en/stable/), and the internal async components in **FastAPI** are now based on AnyIO as well, making it compatible with both **asyncio** and **Trio**.

You can read the docs about running [FastAPI with Trio using Hypercorn](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/deployment/manually/#hypercorn-with-trio).

- Using `--log-file` is known to be problematic in 1.15. This presents as things being logged multiple times to the same file. The behaviour and details of this issue, as well as some preliminary attempts at fixing it are documented [here](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/78734#issuecomment-501372131)
