## Changes by Kind

### Deprecation

- Changed `kubectl version` default output to be identical to what `kubectl version --short` printed,
  and removed `--short` flag entirely. ([#116720](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116720), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))

* Stability: Make Pod delete event handling of scheduler more robust. ([#58712](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58712), [@bsalamat](https://github.com/bsalamat))* Allow scheduler set AlwaysCheckAllPredicates, short circuit all predicates if one predicate fails can greatly improve the scheduling performance. ([#56926](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56926), [@wgliang](https://github.com/wgliang))

### Removed metrics

- `reflector_items_per_list`
- `reflector_items_per_watch`
- `reflector_last_resource_version`
- `reflector_list_duration_seconds`
- `reflector_lists_total`
- `reflector_short_watches_total`
- `reflector_watch_duration_seconds`
- `reflector_watches_total`

### Deprecated metrics

* Top now accepts short forms for "node" and "pod" ("no", "po") ([#39218](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/39218), [@luksa](https://github.com/luksa))

#### Apps

- Hyperkube short aliases have been removed from source code, because hyperkube docker image currently creates these aliases. ([#76953](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/76953), [@Rand01ph](https://github.com/Rand01ph))

#### Auth

- Fixes error...
