- The `/swaggerapi/*` schema docs, deprecated since 1.7, have been removed in favor of the /openapi/v2 schema docs. ([#72924](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72924), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- **Custom resources:** CRDs are in widespread use as a way to extend Kubernetes to persist and serve new resource types, and have been available in beta since the 1.7 release. The 1.16 release marks the graduation of CRDs to general availability (GA).

Python 3.6 reached the [end-of-life and is no longer supported by Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3615/) since around a year ago.

You hopefully updated to a supported version of Python a while ago. If you haven't, you really should.

### Features

* ✨ Add support in `jsonable_encoder` for include and exclude with dataclasses. PR [#4923](https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/pull/4923) by [@DCsunset](https://github.com/DCsunset).

- Kubelet metrics have been changed to buckets. 
  For example the exec/{podNamespace}/{podID}/{containerName} is now just exec. ([#87913](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87913), [@cheftako](https://github.com/cheftako)) [SIG Node]

methods in generated clientsets, dynamic, metadata, and scale clients have been modified to accept `context.Context` as a first argument. Signatures of Create, Update, and Patch methods have been updated to accept CreateOptions, UpdateOptions and PatchOptions respectively. Signatures of Delete and DeleteCollection methods now accept DeleteOptions by value instead of by reference. Generated clientsets with the previous interface have been added in new "deprecated" packages to allow incremental migration...

- Newly provisioned PVs by vSphere in-tree plugin will no longer have the beta FailureDomain label. vSphere volume plugin will start to have GA topology label instead.

structurally equivalent; that is, they have the same literal structure and corresponding
components have identical types. In detail:
</p>

<ul>
	<li>Two array types are identical if they have identical element types and
	    the same array length.</li>

	<li>Two slice types are identical if they have identical element types.</li>

- Kubeadm: external etcd endpoints passed in the `ClusterConfiguration` that have Unicode characters are no longer IDNA encoded (converted to Punycode). They are now just URL encoded as per Go's implementation of RFC-3986, have duplicate "/" removed from the URL paths, and passed like that directly to the `kube-apiserver` `--etcd-servers` flag. If you have etcd endpoints that have Unicode characters, it is advisable to encode them in advance with tooling that is fully IDNA compliant....
