*   [beta] API chunking via the limit and continue request parameters is promoted to beta in this release. Client libraries using the Informer or ListWatch types will automatically opt in to chunking. ([#52949](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52949),[ @smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))

- Fixed overriding default `KubeletConfig` fields in drop-in configs if not set. ([#121193](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121193), [@sohankunkerkar](https://github.com/sohankunkerkar))
- Graduated API List chunking (aka pagination) feature to `stable`. ([#119503](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119503), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))

- Added `WatchListClient` feature gate to `client-go`. When enabled, it allows the client to receive a stream of individual items instead of chunking from the server.

   * J2CL's EnumMap does not need the Class instance, so we can use Object.class instead. (Or we
   * could use null, but that messes with our nullness checking, including under J2KT. We could
   * probably work around it by changing how we annotate the J2CL EnumMap, but that's probably more
   * trouble than just using Object.class.)

curious dream, dear, certainly:  but now run in to your tea; it's
getting late.'  So Alice got up and ran off, thinking while she
ran, as well she might, what a wonderful dream it had been.

  But her sister sat still just as she left her, leaning her
head on her hand, watching the setting sun, and thinking of
little Alice and all her wonderful Adventures, till she too began
dreaming after a fashion, and this was her dream:--

the number of results to return. If more results exist, a token is returned that allows the client to continue the previous list call repeatedly until all results are retrieved.  The resulting list is identical to a list call that does not perform chunking, thanks to capabilities provided by etcd3.  This allows the server to use less memory and CPU when very large lists are returned. This feature is gated as APIListChunking and is not enabled by default. The 1.9 release will begin using this by de...

    * Added metrics aggregator_openapi_v2_regeneration_count, aggregator_openapi_v2_regeneration_gauge and apiextension_openapi_v2_regeneration_count metrics counting the triggering APIService and CRDs and the reason (add, update, delete).
* Fix an issue with toleration merging & whitelist checking in the PodTolerationRestriction admission controller. ([#81732](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81732), [@tallclair](https://github.com/tallclair))
