<h4 id="Conversions_from_slice_to_array_or_array_pointer">Conversions from slice to array or array pointer</h4>

<p>
Converting a slice to an array yields an array containing the elements of the underlying array of the slice.
Similarly, converting a slice to an array pointer yields a pointer to the underlying array of the slice.

* API fields that previously serialized null arrays as `null` and empty arrays as `[]` no longer distinguish between those values and always output `[]` when serializing to JSON. ([#43422](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/43422), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- The `node.status.volumes.attached.devicePath` field is deprecated for CSI volumes and will not be set in future releases...

#### Extensibility

- The community has been asking for continuing support of extensibility, so this cycle features more work around CRDs and API Machinery. Most of the enhancements in this cycle were from SIG API Machinery and related areas.

### Extensibility around core Kubernetes APIs

#### CustomResourceDefinitions Pruning

  optional string operator = 2;

  // An array of string values. If the operator is In or NotIn,
  // the values array must be non-empty. If the operator is Exists or DoesNotExist,
  // the values array must be empty. If the operator is Gt or Lt, the values
  // array must have a single element, which will be interpreted as an integer.
  // This array is replaced during a strategic merge patch.

- Allow CSI drivers to just run offline expansion tests (#102740, @gnufied) [SIG Storage and Testing]
- Bump klog to v2.9.0, fixing log lines that render as byte arrays (#105407, @ehashman) [SIG Architecture, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation and Storage]
- Fix overriding logs files on reboot. (#105614, @rphillips) [SIG Node]

  * Strategic Merge Patch

    * Reference docs now display the patch type and patch merge key used by `kubectl apply` to merge and identify unique elements in arrays.

      * `kubectl edit` and `kubectl apply` will keep the ordering of elements in merged lists ([#45980](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45980), [@mengqiy](https://github.com/mengqiy))
