- 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.

- Fix scheduler crash when removing node before its pods ([#89908](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89908), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor)) [SIG Scheduling]
- Fixes conversion error for HorizontalPodAutoscaler objects with invalid annotations ([#89965](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89965), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG Autoscaling]

- Fixed issue where `kubectl-convert` would fail when encountering resources that could not be converted to the specified api version. New behavior is to warn the user of the failed conversions and continue to convert the remaining resources.

APIシステムで必要とされる主な機能の一つに、コード (Python) からデータを取り出して、ネットワークを介して送れるものに変換するデータの「<abbr title="marshalling, conversion">シリアライゼーション</abbr>」があります。例えば、データベースのデータを含むオブジェクトをJSONオブジェクトに変換したり、`datetime` オブジェクトを文字列に変換するなどです。
