## Changelog since v1.21.0

## What's New (Major Themes)

### Removal of several beta Kubernetes APIs

- OpenAPI will no longer duplicate these schemas:
  - io.k8s.apimachinery.pkg.apis.meta.v1.DeleteOptions_v2
  - io.k8s.apimachinery.pkg.apis.meta.v1.ObjectMeta_v2
  - io.k8s.apimachinery.pkg.apis.meta.v1.OwnerReference_v2
  - io.k8s.apimachinery.pkg.apis.meta.v1.StatusDetails_v2

see [this guide](https://kubernetes.io/blog/2022/03/31/ready-for-dockershim-removal/).

### Beta APIs Off by Default

[New beta APIs will not be enabled in clusters by default](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/3136).
Existing beta APIs and new versions of existing beta APIs, will continue to be enabled by default.

### Signing Release Artifacts

- Statefulset should wait for new replicas in tests when removing .start.ordinal ([#119761](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119761), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh)) [SIG Apps and Testing]

- Fixes calculating the requeue time in the cronjob controller, which results in properly handling failed/stuck jobs ([#121540](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121540), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh)) [SIG Apps]
