- Fix a bug where events/v1 Events with similar event type and reporting instance were not aggregated by client-go. ([#112365](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112365), [@dgrisonnet](https://github.com/dgrisonnet)) [SIG API Machinery and Instrumentation]

`audit.k8s.io/v1beta1` and `audit.k8s.io/v1alpha1` audit policy configuration and audit events are deprecated in favor of `audit.k8s.io/v1`, available since v1.13. kube-apiserver invocations that specify alpha or beta policy configurations with `--audit-policy-file`, or explicitly request alpha or beta audit events with `--audit-log-version` / `--audit-webhook-version` must update to use `audit.k8s.io/v1` and accept `audit.k8s.io/v1` events prior to v1.24.

* add support for client-side spam filtering of events ([#47367](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/47367), [@derekwaynecarr](https://github.com/derekwaynecarr))
* Provide a way to omit Event stages in audit policy ([#49280](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/49280), [@CaoShuFeng](https://github.com/CaoShuFeng))
