### Feature

- A new client side metric `rest_client_request_retries_total` has been added that tracks the number of retries sent to the server, partitioned by status code, verb and host ([#108396](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108396), [@tkashem](https://github.com/tkashem))

        // Page info should be calculated (allRecordCount=100, pageSize=10 => 10 pages)
        // But since size() < pageSize, collapsing logic applies and allPageCount becomes currentPageNumber
        assertEquals(1, qrList.getAllPageCount()); // Collapsed to current page due to size() = 1 < pageSize = 10
        assertEquals(1, qrList.getCurrentPageNumber());

- Added a feature that allows a `StatefulSet` to start numbering replicas from an arbitrary non-negative ordinal, using the `.spec.ordinals.start` field. ([#112744](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112744), [@pwschuurman](https://github.com/pwschuurman))

## Version 4.9.2

_2021-09-30_

 *  Fix: Don't include potentially-sensitive header values in `Headers.toString()` or exceptions.
    This applies to `Authorization`, `Cookie`, `Proxy-Authorization`, and `Set-Cookie` headers.
 *  Fix: Don't crash with an `InaccessibleObjectException` when running on JDK17+ with strong
    encapsulation enabled.
