### API Change

- Fixes a regression with clients prior to 1.15 not being able to update podIP in pod status, or podCIDR in node spec, against >= 1.16 API servers ([#88505](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88505), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG Apps and Network]

### Other (Bug, Cleanup or Flake)

  of environment variables for containers in Pods. ([#123385](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123385), [@HirazawaUi](https://github.com/HirazawaUi))

    Kubernetes-managed containers on the node.
  * It is not compatible with CNI plugins that do not conform to the
    [error handling behavior in the spec](https://github.com/containernetworking/cni/blob/master/SPEC.md#network-configuration-list-error-handling).
    The plugins are being updated to resolve this issue ([#43488](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/43488)).

- CustomResourceDefinitions added support for marking versions as deprecated by setting `spec.versions[*].deprecated` to `true`, and for optionally overriding the default deprecation warning with a `spec.versions[*].deprecationWarning` field. ([#92329](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/92329), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery]

- When using `kubectl replace` (or the equivalent API call) on a Service, the caller no longer needs to do a read-modify-write cycle to fetch the allocated values for `.spec.clusterIP` and `.spec.ports[].nodePort`.  Instead the API server will automatically carry these forward from the original object when the new object does not specify them.
