- Kube-apiserver: fixes a 1.27+ regression in watch stability by serving watch requests without a resourceVersion from the watch cache by default, as in <1.27 (disabling the change in #115096 by default). This mitigates the impact of an etcd watch bug (https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/pull/17555). If the 1.27 change in #115096 to serve these requests from underlying storage is still desired despite the impact on watch stability, it can be re-enabled with a `WatchFromStorageWithoutResourceVersion`...

- The watch API endpoints prefixed with `/watch` are deprecated and will be removed in a future release. These standard method for watching resources (supported since v1.0) is to use the list API endpoints with a `?watch=true` parameter. All client-go clients have used the parameter method since v1.6.0. ([#65147](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65147),...

- Added metric `apiserver_watch_events_total` that can be used to understand the number of watch events in the system. ([#78732](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78732), [@mborsz](https://github.com/mborsz))

### API Change

- Kubernetes 1.23 is now built with go1.19.4. To match behavior of previous Kubernetes 1.23 patch releases:
  - `kube-apiserver` defaults the GOGC setting to 63, to approximate go1.17 garbage collection memory performance in heavily loaded API servers

* Federation: Add `batch/jobs` API objects to federation-apiserver ([#35943](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/35943), [@jianhuiz](https://github.com/jianhuiz))

 - The `batch/v2alpha1.CronJob` is deprecated in favor of `batch/v1beta1`.

 - The `batch/v2alpha1.ScheduledJob` was removed. Use `batch/v1beta1.CronJob` instead.

### Auth

 - The RBAC v1alpha1 API group is deprecated in favor of RBAC v1.
