* Implement graceful shutdown of the kube-apiserver by waiting for open connections to finish before exiting. Moreover, the audit backend will stop dropping events on shutdown. ([#53695](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53695), [@hzxuzhonghu](https://github.com/hzxuzhonghu))

- `kubectl apply` now coerces `null` values for labels and annotations in manifests to empty string values, 
consistent with typed JSON metadata decoding, rather than dropping all labels and annotations ([#129257](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129257), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery]

### Feature

- Improved memory usage of kube-apiserver by dropping`.metadata.managedFields` field that self-requested informers of kube-apiserver didn't need. ([#124667](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124667), [@linxiulei](https://github.com/linxiulei)) [SIG API Machinery]

- Support allocating whole NUMA nodes in the CPUManager when there is not a 1:1 mapping between socket and NUMA node ([#102015](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102015), [@klueska](https://github.com/klueska))

  for the service, but there is at least one Terminating pod for that service on the node,
  then kube-proxy will send the traffic to the Terminating pod rather than dropping it. This
  patches up a race condition between when a pod is killed and when the external load

- Fixed a race condition in `kube-proxy` when using LocalModeNodeCIDR, to avoid dropping Services traffic if the object node is recreated when `kube-proxy` is starting. ([#118499](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118499), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))
