* `kubectl certificate approve|deny` will not modify an already approved or denied CSR unless the `--force` flag is provided. ([#61971](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61971), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))

## Known Issues

- If kubelet plugin registration for a driver fails, kubelet will not retry. The driver must delete and recreate the driver registration socket in order to force kubelet to attempt registration again. Restarting only the driver container may not be sufficient to trigger recreation of the socket, instead a pod restart may be required. ([#71487](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/71487))

- Added error message "dry-run can not be used when --force is set" when dry-run and force flags are set in replace command. ([#110326](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110326), [@ardaguclu](https://github.com/ardaguclu))

  If users experiment problems with stale connections  using HTTP1.1, they can force the previous behavior of the kubelet by setting the environment variable DISABLE_HTTP2.

- The go version defined in `.go-version` is now fetched when invoking test, build, and code generation targets if the current go version does not match it. Set $FORCE_HOST_GO=y while testing or building to skip this behavior, or set $GO_VERSION to override the selected go version.

* When deleting an object with `--grace-period=0`, the client will begin a graceful deletion and wait until the resource is fully deleted.  To force deletion, use the `--force` flag.

### Node Components
* Kubelet config should ignore file start with dots.

- StatefulSet controllers no longer force a resync every 30 seconds when nothing has changed. ([#75622](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/75622), [@jonsabo](https://github.com/jonsabo))
