- Replace scale down forbidden window with scale down stabilization window. Rather than waiting a fixed period of time between scale downs HPA now scales down to the highest recommendation it during the scale down stabilization window.

  that provide new subcommands. Refer to the documentation for more information.

- `kubectl rollout` and `rollback` now support StatefulSet.

- `kubectl scale` now uses the Scale subresource for kinds in the apps/v1beta2 group.

- `kubectl create configmap` and `kubectl create secret` subcommands now support
  the `--append-hash` flag, which enables unique but deterministic naming for

  `node_cpu_usage_seconds_total`
  `node_memory_working_set_bytes`
  `container_cpu_usage_seconds_total`

- Deprecated prometheus request meta-metrics have been removed

- Fixed incorrect calculation for ResourceQuota with PriorityClass as its scope. ([#117677](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117677), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei)) [SIG API Machinery]

### Failing Test

- Escape the special characters like `[`, `]` and ` ` that exist in vsphere windows path ([#98830](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98830), [@liyanhui1228](https://github.com/liyanhui1228)) [SIG Storage and Windows]

* The ability to use kubectl scale jobs is deprecated. All other scale operations remain in place, but the ability to scale jobs will be removed in a future release.  ([#60139](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60139), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))

    *   The view role includes read permissions on poddisruptionbudget.policy resources.
*   RBAC rules can now match the same subresource on any resource using the form `*/(subresource)`. For example, `*/scale` matches requests to `replicationcontroller/scale`. ([#53722](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53722),[ @deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k))

- From now on, the HPA controller will return an error for the container resource metrics when the feature gate "HPAContainerMetrics" is disabled. As a result, HPA with a container resource metric performs no scale-down and performs only scale-up based on other metrics.
