- If the custom resource participates the spec/status convention, the metadata.generation of the CR increments when there is any change, except for the changes to the metadata or the changes to the status.

#### Behavioral Changes

 - For all kinds in the API group version, a spec.selector default value is no longer
 available, because it's incompatible with `kubectl
 apply` and strategic merge patch. You must explicitly set the spec.selector value
 in your manifest. An object with a spec.selector value that does not match the labels in
 its spec.template is invalid.

 - Selector mutation is disabled for all kinds in the

- The OpenAPI spec and documentation now reflect the 202 Accepted response path for delete requests. Note that this change in the openapi spec may affect some clients that depend on the error paths.  ([#63418](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63418), [@roycaihw](https://github.com/roycaihw))

- Introduce support for CEL optionals (see [CEL spec proposal 246](https://github.com/google/cel-spec/wiki/proposal-246)).
  This feature will not be fully enabled until a future Kubernetes release (likely to be v1.29), but is added in v1.28 to enable

- The alpha feature `AnyVolumeDataSource` enables PersistentVolumeClaim objects to use the spec.dataSource field to reference a custom type as a data source ([#88636](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88636), [@bswartz](https://github.com/bswartz)) [SIG Apps and Storage]

## Changelog since v1.17.3

## Changes by Kind

### API Change

- Fixes a regression with clients prior to 1.15 not being able to update podIP in pod status, or podCIDR in node spec, against >= 1.16 API servers ([#88505](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88505), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG Apps and Network]

### Other (Bug, Cleanup or Flake)

- Pods which have an invalid negative `spec.terminationGracePeriodSeconds` value will be treated as having terminationGracePeriodSeconds of 1 ([#115606](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115606), [@wzshiming](https://github.com/wzshiming)) [SIG Apps, Node and Testing]

*   The `volume.beta.kubernetes.io/storage-class` annotation is deprecated. It will be removed in a future release. For the StorageClass API object, use v1, and in place of the annotation use `v1.PersistentVolumeClaim.Spec.StorageClassName` and `v1.PersistentVolume.Spec.StorageClassName` instead. ([#53580](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53580),[ @xiangpengzhao](https://github.com/xiangpengzhao))

### **Scheduling**

- When using `kubectl replace` (or the equivalent API call) on a Service, the caller no longer needs to do a read-modify-write cycle to fetch the allocated values for `.spec.clusterIP` and `.spec.ports[].nodePort`.  Instead the API server will automatically carry these forward from the original object when the new object does not specify them.
