- Add new `--server-dry-run` flag to `kubectl apply` so that the request will be sent to the server with the dry-run flag (alpha), which means that changes won't be persisted. ([#68069](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/68069), [@apelisse](https://github.com/apelisse))

- Protobuf serialization of metav1.MicroTime timestamps (used in `Lease` and `Event` API objects) has been corrected to truncate to microsecond precision, to match the documented behavior and JSON/YAML serialization. Any existing persisted data is truncated to microsecond when read from etcd.
