- JWTs used in service account and OIDC authentication are now strictly parsed to confirm that they use compact serialization. Other encodings were not previously accepted, but would result in different unspecific errors. ([#123540](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123540), [@enj](https://github.com/enj))

request contained label or field selectors, then the number of remaining items is unknown and the field will be left unset and omitted during serialization. If the list is complete (either because it is not chunking or because this is the last chunk), then there are no more remaining items and this field will be left unset and omitted during serialization. Servers older than v1.15 do not set this field. The intended use of the remainingItemCount is *estimating* the size of a collection. Clients should...
