## Changes since v1.2.2

### Action Required

* Make watch cache treat resourceVersion consistent with uncached watch ([#24008](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/24008), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

### Other notable changes

- Client-go: fake client-go (i.e. anything using k8s.io/client-go/testing) now supports separate List+Watch calls  with checking of ResourceVersion in the Watch call. This closes a race condition where creating an object directly after an informer...

- Scale custom resource unconditionally if resourceVersion is not provided ([#80572](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/80572), [@knight42](https://github.com/knight42))

* Bump GCE metadata proxy to v0.1.9 to pick up security fixes. ([#58221](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58221), [@ihmccreery](https://github.com/ihmccreery))

- K8s.io/apimachinery: Introduced a helper function to compare `resourceVersion` strings between two objects of the same resource. ([#134330](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134330), [@michaelasp](https://github.com/michaelasp)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Instrumentation, Network, Node, Scheduling, Storage...

- Fix enabling consistent list from watch cache also works for resourceVersion=0 ([#123676](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123676), [@serathius](https://github.com/serathius)) [SIG API Machinery]

* Fixes an issue where the resourceVersion of an object in a DELETE watch event was not the resourceVersion of the delete itself, but of the last update to the object. This could disrupt the ability of clients clients to re-establish watches properly. ([#58547](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58547), [...

- The `ResourceVersion` returned in objects from delete responses is now consistent with the `ResourceVersion` contained in the delete watch event. ([#113369](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113369), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))

- Fixes a bug that when there is a "connection refused" error, the reflector's ListAndWatch func will return directly but what expected is that sleep 1 second and rewatch since the specified resourceVersion.

- Prevent unnecessary `Endpoints` and `EndpointSlice` updates caused by `Pod ResourceVersion` change ([#108078](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108078), [@tnqn](https://github.com/tnqn))
