- https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/issues/4731: Remove a potential build-time side-effect in ConfigMapGenerator and SecretGenerator, which loaded values from the local environment under some circumstances, breaking kustomize build's side-effect-free promise. While this behavior was never intended, we deprecated it and are announcing it as a breaking change since it existed for a long time. See also the Eschewed...

### Server-side Apply graduates to GA

- Support server-side dry-run in kubectl with --dry-run=server for commands including apply, patch, create, run, annotate,...

- Fixed bugs in handling of server-side apply, create, and update API requests for objects containing duplicate items in keyed lists.
  - A `create` or `update` API request with duplicate items in a keyed list no longer wipes out managedFields. Examples include env var entries with the same name, or port entries with the same containerPort in a pod spec.

Multiple variables on the left-hand side of a variable declaration initialized
by single (multi-valued) expression on the right-hand side are initialized
together: If any of the variables on the left-hand side is initialized, all
those variables are initialized in the same step.

- hyperkube: Use debian-hyperkube-base@v1.1.0 image
  
    A previous release built hyperkube using the debian-hyperkube-base@v1.0.0,
    which was updated to address a CVE in the CNI plugins.
    
    A side-effect of using this new image was that the networking packages
    (namely `iptables`) drifted from the versions used in the kube-proxy images.
  
    The following issues were filed on kube-proxy failures when using hyperkube:

    * validation schemata as an alpha feature, to be enabled via the "CustomResourcePublishOpenAPI" feature gate. Kubectl will validate client-side using those. Note that in
    * future, client-side validation in 1.14 kubectl against a 1.15 cluster will reject
    * unknown fields for CRDs with validation schema defined. 

- Respect annotation size limit for server-side apply updates to the client-side apply annotation. Also, fix opt-out of this behavior by setting the client-side apply annotation to the empty string.

  - true/strict - perform validation and error the request on any invalid fields in the ojbect. It will attempt to perform server-side validation if it is enabled on the apiserver, otherwise it will fall back to client-side validation.
