- `discovery.k8s.io/v1beta1` EndpointSlices are deprecated in favor of `discovery.k8s.io/v1`, and will no longer be served in Kubernetes v1.25. ([#100472](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100472), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

  - The "extraArgs" component construct is now a list of "name"/"value" pairs instead of a string/string map. This has been done to support duplicate args where needed.
  - The "JoinConfiguration.discovery.timeout" field has been replaced by "JoinConfiguration.timeouts.discovery".
  - The "ClusterConfiguration.timeoutForControlPlane" field has been replaced by "{Init|Join}Configuration.timeouts.controlPlaneComponentHealthCheck".

- Fixed a regression in the default `v1.27` configurations in `kube-apiserver`: fixed the `AggregatedDiscoveryEndpoint` feature (`beta` in `v1.27+`) to successfully fetch discovery information from aggregated API servers that do not check `Accept` headers when serving the `/apis` endpoint. ([#119870](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119870), [@Jefftree](https://github.com/Jefftree))

- client-go discovery clients constructed using `NewDiscoveryClientForConfig` or `NewDiscoveryClientForConfigOrDie` default to rate limits that cause normal discovery request patterns to take several seconds. This is fixed in https://issue.k8s.io/86168 and will be resolved in v1.17.1. As a workaround, the `Burst` value can be adjusted higher...

- Increase default value of discovery cache TTL for kubectl to 6 hours. ([#107141](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107141), [@mk46](https://github.com/mk46))

  
  ### Cluster API
  - Migrate interaction with the API from using internal types to using Unstructured
  - Improve tests to work better with constrained resources
  - Add support for node auto-discovery
  - Add support for `--cloud-config`
  - Update group identifier to use for Cluster API annotations
  
  ### Exoscale
  - Add support for Exoscale
  
  ### GCE

it is impossible to change the contents of a string.
The predeclared string type is <code>string</code>;
it is a <a href="#Type_definitions">defined type</a>.
</p>

<p>
The length of a string <code>s</code> can be discovered using
the built-in function <a href="#Length_and_capacity"><code>len</code></a>.
The length is a compile-time constant if the string is a constant.

- Resolves an issue with the "ServiceAccountIssuerDiscovery should support OIDC discovery" conformance test failing on clusters which are configured with issuers outside the cluster ([#101589](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101589), [@mtaufen](https://github.com/mtaufen)) [SIG Auth and Testing]
