- Kubeadm: enhanced the "patches" functionality to be able to patch kubelet config files containing `v1beta1.KubeletConfiguration`. The new patch target is called `kubeletconfiguration` (e.g. patch file `kubeletconfiguration+json.json`).This makes it possible to apply node specific KubeletConfiguration options during `init`, `join` and `upgrade`, while the main `KubeletConfiguration`...

*   Custom resources served by CustomResourceDefinition objects now support field selectors for `metadata.name` and `metadata.namespace`. Also fixed an issue with watching a single object; earlier versions could watch only a collection, and so a watch on an instance would fail.

#### **Other**

- Fixes a regression in v1beta1 PodDisruptionBudget handling of `strategic merge patch`-type API requests for the `selector` field. Prior to 1.21, these requests would merge `matchLabels` content and replace `matchExpressions` content. In 1.21, patch requests touching the `selector` field started replacing the entire selector. This is consistent with server-side apply and the v1 PodDisruptionBudget behavior, but should...

- Very large patches may now be specified to `kubectl patch` with the `--patch-file` flag instead of including them directly on the command line. The `--patch` and `--patch-file` flags are mutually exclusive. ([#93548](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/93548), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton)) [SIG CLI]

### API Change

* Requests with invalid credentials no longer match audit policy rules where users or groups are set, correcting a problem where authorized requests were getting through. ([#59398](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59398), [@CaoShuFeng](https://github.com/CaoShuFeng))
