#### client-go:

- The validation-gen code generator generated validation code that supported validation ratcheting. ([#132236](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132236), [@yongruilin](https://github.com/yongruilin)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth and Node]

### CLI

* Use structured generator for kubectl autoscale.  ([#55913](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55913), [@wackxu](https://github.com/wackxu))

- K8s.io/apimachinery - scheme.Convert() now uses only explicitly registered conversions - default reflection based conversion is no longer available. `+k8s:conversion-gen` tags can be used with the `k8s.io/code-generator` component to generate conversions. ([#90018](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/90018), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Testing]

- Fixed a deep copy issue when retrieving the controller reference. ([#124116](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124116), [@HiranmoyChowdhury](https://github.com/HiranmoyChowdhury)) [SIG API Machinery and Release]
- Fixed code-generator client-gen to work with `api/v1`-like package structure. ([#125162](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125162), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts)) [SIG API Machinery and Apps]

- Kubeadm: deprecate the "--csr-only" and "--csr-dir" flags of the "kubeadm init phase certs" subcommands. Please use "kubeadm alpha certs generate-csr" instead. This new command allows you to generate new private keys and certificate signing requests for all the control-plane components, so that the certificates can be signed by an external CA.

* Fix OpenAPI/JSON Schema generation for two functions with the same name (in different modules) with the same composite bodies.
    * Composite bodies' IDs are now based on path, not only on route name, as the auto-generated name uses the function names, that can be duplicated in different modules.
    * The same new ID generation applies to response models.
    * This also changes the generated title for those models.

* kubeadm 1.8 now properly handles upgrades from to 1.7.x to newer release in 1.7 branch ([#53338](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53338), [@kad](https://github.com/kad))
* Add generate-groups.sh and generate-internal-groups.sh to k8s.io/code-generator to easily run generators against CRD or User API Server types. ([#52186](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52186), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))
