## Changelog since v1.16.9

## Changes by Kind

### API Change
 - Fix bug where sending a status update completely wipes managedFields for some types. ([#90033](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/90033), [@apelisse](https://github.com/apelisse)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]

### Bug or Regression

- Duplicate owner reference entries in create/update/patch requests now get deduplicated by the API server. The client sending the request now receives a warning header in the API response. Clients should stop sending requests with duplicate owner references. The API server may reject such requests as early as 1.24. ([#96185](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96185), [@roycaihw](https://github.com/roycaihw))...

- Try to send watch bookmarks (if requested) periodically in addition to sending them right before timeout ([#90560](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/90560), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t)) [SIG API Machinery]

### Container Storage Interface graduations

* Per Volume Inode Accounting ([#35132](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/35132), [@dashpole](https://github.com/dashpole))
* [AppArmor] Hold bad AppArmor pods in pending rather than rejecting ([#35342](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/35342), [@timstclair](https://github.com/timstclair))

- Graduating `pending_pods`, `preemption_attempts_total`, `preemption_victims` and `schedule_attempts_total` metrics to stable. Also `e2e_scheduling_duration_seconds` is renamed to `scheduling_attempt_duration_seconds` and the latter is graduated to stable. ([#105941]...

- Add SourceVolumeMode field to VolumeSnapshotContents. Documentation for this alpha feature is pending. ([#665](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/external-snapshotter/pull/665), [@RaunakShah](https://github.com/RaunakShah))
- Update snapshotter module to v6 and client module to v5. Documentation for this alpha feature is pending. ([#670],(https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/external-snapshotter/pull/670), [@RaunakShah](https://github.com/RaunakShah))

- Updates that remove remaining `metadata.finalizers` from  an object that is pending deletion (non-nil metadata.deletionTimestamp) and has no graceful deletion pending (nil or 0 metadata.deletionGracePeriodSeconds) now results in immediate deletion of the object. ([#77952](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77952), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

* Add the support to the scheduler for spreading pods of StatefulSets. ([#41708](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41708), [@bsalamat](https://github.com/bsalamat))
* Added support to minimize sending verbose node information to scheduler extender by sending only node names and expecting extenders to cache the rest of the node information ([#41119](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41119), [@sarat-k](https://github.com/sarat-k))
