- StatefulSet controllers no longer force a resync every 30 seconds when nothing has changed. ([#75622](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/75622), [@jonsabo](https://github.com/jonsabo))

* Minikube version 0.22.2 or lower does not work with kubectl version 1.8 or higher. This issue is caused by the presence of an unregistered type in the minikube API server. New versions of kubectl force validate the OpenAPI schema, which is not registered with all known types in the minikube API server.

For more information, see [#1996](https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues/1996).

  If users experiment problems with stale connections  using HTTP1.1, they can force the previous behavior of the kubelet by setting the environment variable DISABLE_HTTP2.

restoring the behaviour existing before the v1.21 release. Users who rely on nested folder for the coredns image should set the "clusterConfiguration.dns.imageRepository" value including the nested path name (e.g using "registry.company.xyz/coredns" will force kubeadm to use "registry.company.xyz/coredns/coredns" image). No action is needed if using the default registry (k8s.gcr.io). ([#102502](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102502), [@ykakarap](https://github.com/ykakarap)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]...

  * Allow configuration of a single security group for ELBs ([#45500](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45500), [@nbutton23](https://github.com/nbutton23))

  * Remove check that forces loadBalancerSourceRanges to be 0.0.0.0/0. ([#38636](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/38636), [@dhawal55](https://github.com/dhawal55))

- kubectl patch now respects --local ([#67399](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67399), [@deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k))
- kubectl: When an object can't be updated and must be deleted by force, kubectl will now recreating resources for immutable fields.([#66602](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66602), [@dixudx](https://github.com/dixudx))

- Fixed a bug where hard evictions due to resource pressure allowed pods
  to use the full termination grace period instead of shutting down instantly. 
  This bug also affected force deleted pods. Both cases now receive a termination grace period of 1 second. ([#124063](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124063), [@olyazavr](https://github.com/olyazavr))

- Force deleted pods may fail to terminate until the kubelet is restarted when the container runtime returns an error during termination. We have strengthened testing for runtime failures and now perform a more rigorous reconciliation to ensure static pods...
