- 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))

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]...

- 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...

- Volumes are no longer detached from healthy nodes after 6 minutes timeout. 6 minute force-detach timeout is used only for unhealthy nodes (`node.status.conditions["Ready"] != true`).
