* gitRepo volumes in pods no longer require git 1.8.5 or newer, older git versions are supported too now. ([#62394](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62394), [@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane))

- The `ServerSideFieldValidation` feature has graduated to beta and is now enabled by default. Kubectl 1.24 and newer will use server-side validation instead of client-side validation when writing to API servers with the feature enabled. ([#108889](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108889), [@kevindelgado](https://github.com/kevindelgado))

If watching objects with a filter, when an update was made that no longer matched the filter a DELETE event was correctly sent. However, the object that was returned by that delete was not the (correct) version before the update, but instead, the newer version. That meant the new object was not matched by the filter. This was a regression from behavior between cached watches on the server side and uncached watches, and thus broke downstream API clients. ([#46223](https://github.com/kubernetes/ku...

- Pod template annotations and labels are now mutable for Jobs that are suspended and have never been started ([#105980](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105980), [@ahg-g](https://github.com/ahg-g))
