- pod eviction API calls returned spurious precondition errors and required a second evict API call to succeed
  - dry-run eviction API calls persisted a DisruptionTarget condition into the pod being evicted ([#116750](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116750), [@atiratree](https://github.com/atiratree)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]

## Changelog since v1.21.8

## Changes by Kind

### Feature

- Kube-apiserver: when merging lists, Server Side Apply now prefers the order of the submitted request instead of the existing persisted object ([#107569](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107569), [@jiahuif](https://github.com/jiahuif)) [SIG API Machinery, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation, Storage and Testing]

### Bug or Regression

- Add new `--server-dry-run` flag to `kubectl apply` so that the request will be sent to the server with the dry-run flag (alpha), which means that changes won't be persisted. ([#68069](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/68069), [@apelisse](https://github.com/apelisse))

// SiteReplicationSys - manages cluster-level replication.
type SiteReplicationSys struct {
	sync.RWMutex

	enabled bool

	// In-memory and persisted multi-site replication state.
	state srState

	iamMetaCache srIAMCache
}

type srState srStateV1

// srStateV1 represents version 1 of the site replication state persistence
// format.

- Fix kubectl printer to correctly handle timestamps of events emitted using events.k8s.io API ([#90227](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/90227), [@gosoon](https://github.com/gosoon)) [SIG CLI]

- Protobuf serialization of metav1.MicroTime timestamps (used in `Lease` and `Event` API objects) has been corrected to truncate to microsecond precision, to match the documented behavior and JSON/YAML serialization. Any existing persisted data is truncated to microsecond when read from etcd. ([#111936](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111936), [@haoruan](https://github.com/haoruan)) [SIG API Machinery]
