### API Change

- Added `ObservedGeneration` to CustomResourceDefinition conditions. ([#134984](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134984), [@michaelasp](https://github.com/michaelasp))

    The `apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1` version of `CustomResourceDefinition` is deprecated and will no longer be served in v1.19. ([#79604](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/79604), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

* 'cj' has been added as a shortname for CronJobs, as in `kubectl get cj` ([#59499](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59499), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))

* `crds` has been added as a shortname for CustomResourceDefinition, as in `kubectl get crds` ([#59061](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59061), [@nikhita](https://github.com/nikhita))

  - 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...

- Fixed broken shell completion for api resources. ([#133783](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/133783), [@vpnachev](https://github.com/vpnachev)) [SIG CLI]
- Kube-apiserver: Fixed a 1.34 regression in CustomResourceDefinition handling that incorrectly warned about unrecognized formats on number and integer properties ([#133901](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/133901), [@yongruilin](https://github.com/yongruilin)) [SIG API Machinery]

- CustomResourceDefinition schemas that use `x-kubernetes-list-map-keys` to specify properties that uniquely identify list items must make those properties required or have a default value, to ensure those properties are present for all list items. See https://kub...

- Alpha support for field selectors on custom resources has been added. With the `CustomResourceFieldSelectors` feature gate enabled, the CustomResourceDefinition API now allows specifying `selectableFields`. Listing a field there enables filtering custom resources for that CustomResourceDefinition in list or watch requests. ([#122717](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122717), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz))

- CustomResourceDefinition objects created with non-empty `caBundle` fields which are invalid or do not contain any certificates will not appear in discovery or serve endpoints until a valid `caBundle` is provided. Updates to CustomResourceDefinition are no longer allowed to transition a valid `caBundle` field to an invalid `caBundle` field, because this breaks serving of the...

* The deprecated `ThirdPartyResource` (TPR) API was removed.
  To avoid losing your TPR data, [migrate to CustomResourceDefinition](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-kubernetes-api/migrate-third-party-resource/).

* The following deprecated flags were removed from `kube-controller-manager`:
