- Fixed a bug in the TopologyManager. Previously, the TopologyManager would only guarantee alignment if container creation was serialized in some way. Alignment is now guaranteed under all scenarios of container creation. ([#87759](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87759), [@klueska](https://github.com/klueska)) [SIG Node]

* if kube-apiserver is started with `--storage-backend=etcd2`, the media type `application/json` is used. ([#43122](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/43122), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
* API fields that previously serialized null arrays as `null` and empty arrays as `[]` no longer distinguish between those values and always output `[]` when serializing to JSON. ([#43422](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/43422), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- Ipvs: only attempt setting of sysctlconnreuse on supported kernels ([#88541](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88541), [@cmluciano](https://github.com/cmluciano)) [SIG Network]
- Jsonpath support in kubectl / client-go serializes complex types (maps / slices / structs) as json instead of Go-syntax. ([#89660](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89660), [@pjferrell](https://github.com/pjferrell)) [SIG API Machinery, CLI and Cluster Lifecycle]

- Fixed a data race that could occur when a single Go type was serialized to CBOR concurrently for the first time within a program. ([#129170](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129170), [@benluddy](https://github.com/benluddy)) [SIG API Machinery]

- Restartable init containers resource in pod autoscaler are now calculated. ([#120001](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120001), [@qingwave](https://github.com/qingwave))
- Sidecar termination is now serialized and each sidecar container will receive a `SIGTERM` after all main containers and later starting sidecar containers have terminated. ([#120620](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120620), [@tzneal](https://github.com/tzneal))

   ([#122276](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122276), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))
- Added a CBOR implementation of `runtime.Serializer`. Until CBOR graduates to Alpha, API servers will refuse to start if configured with CBOR support. ([#122881](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122881), [@benluddy](https://github.com/benluddy))
