* New client-go structure, refer to kubernetes/client-go for versioning policy ([#34989](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/34989), [@caesarxuchao](https://github.com/caesarxuchao))

- Added alpha metrics for compatibility versioning ([#131842](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/131842), [@michaelasp](https://github.com/michaelasp)) [SIG API Machinery, Architecture, Instrumentation and Scheduling]

    /** The key of the message: Value */
    public static final String LABELS_VALUE = "{labels.value}";

    /** The key of the message: Version No */
    public static final String LABELS_VERSION_NO = "{labels.versionNo}";

    /** The key of the message: Schedule */
    public static final String LABELS_CRON_EXPRESSION = "{labels.cronExpression}";

    /** The key of the message: Delete documents older than specified days */

* The ability to limit a node's access to the API is now considered beta. ([ref](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/279))
* CustomResource versioning is now considered beta. ([ref](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/544))
* Windows container configuration in CRI is now considered beta ([ref](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/547))

and specified for [deprecated versions of custom resources](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/extend-kubernetes/custom-resources/custom-resource-definition-versioning/#version-deprecation).

### Avoiding permanent beta
