- Fixed the issue where pod with ordinal number lower than the rolling partitioning number was being deleted it was coming up with updated image. ([#120731](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120731), [@adilGhaffarDev](https://github.com/adilGhaffarDev)) [SIG Apps and Testing]

### Deprecation

#### kube-apiserver:
- the following deprecated APIs can no longer be served:
  - All resources under `apps/v1beta1` and `apps/v1beta2` - use `apps/v1` instead
  - `daemonsets`, `deployments`, `replicasets` resources under `extensions/v1beta1` - use `apps/v1` instead
  - `networkpolicies` resources under `extensions/v1beta1` - use `networking.k8s.io/v1` instead

### SIG Apps

[SIG Apps][] focuses on the Kubernetes APIs and the external tools that are required to deploy and operate Kubernetes workloads.

### 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.
