- The rules for incrementing `metadata.generation` of custom resources changed: ([#69059](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/69059), [@caesarxuchao](https://github.com/caesarxuchao))
  - If the custom resource participates the spec/status convention, the metadata.generation of the CR increments when there is any change, except for the changes to the metadata or the changes to the status.

    * The `generate-internal-groups.sh` script in k8s.io/code-generator will generate OpenAPI definitions by default in `pkg/generated/openapi`. Additional API group dependencies can be added via `OPENAPI_EXTRA_PACKAGES=<group>/<version> <group2>/<version2>...`.

## Deprecations
* Remove extensions/v1beta1 Jobs resource, and job/v1beta1 generator. ([#38614](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/38614), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))

* 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.

### CLI

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

- Add support to generate client-side binaries for windows/arm64 platform ([#104894](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104894), [@pacoxu](https://github.com/pacoxu))

* 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))

OpenAPI specs for native types have long been served at /openapi/v2, and they are consumed by a number of components, notably kubectl client-side validation, kubectl explain and OpenAPI based client generators.

With Kubernetes 1.15 as beta, OpenAPI schemas are also published for CRDs, as long as their schemas are structural.

These changes are reflected in the following Kubernetes enhancements:
