- AdmissionReview objects sent for the creation of Namespace API objects now populate the `namespace` attribute consistently (previously the `namespace` attribute was empty for Namespace creation via POST requests, and populated for Namespace creation via server-side-apply PATCH requests) ([#95012](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95012), [@nodo](https://github.com/nodo)) [SIG API Machinery...

`container.seccomp.security.alpha.kubernetes.io`, deprecated since v1.19, was partially removed. Kubelets no longer support the annotations, use of the annotations in static pods is no longer supported, and the seccomp annotations are no longer auto-populated when pods with seccomp fields are created. Auto-population of the seccomp fields from the annotations is planned to be removed in 1.27. Pods  should use the corresponding pod or container `securityContext.seccompProfile` field instead. ([#109819...

- Kubeadm: added the "--cleanup-tmp-dir" flag for `kubeadm reset`. It will cleanup the contents of `/etc/kubernetes/tmp`. The flag is...

* client-go: restores behavior of populating the BearerToken field in rest.Config objects constructed from kubeconfig files containing tokenFile config, or from in-cluster configuration. An additional BearerTokenFile field is now populated to enable constructed clients to periodically refresh tokens. ([#71713](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71713), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

Conversely, when comparing types, a known type argument
(a type argument for which a map entry already exists)
takes the place of its corresponding type parameter.
As type inference progresses, the map is populated more and more
until all equations have been considered, or until unification fails.
Type inference succeeds if no unification step fails and the map has
an entry for each type parameter.

- Namespace is now included in the `--dry-run=client` output for `HorizontalPodAutoscaler (HPA)` objects. ([#134263](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134263), [@ardaguclu](https://github.com/ardaguclu)) [SIG CLI and Testing]
- Populated `involvedObject.apiVersion` on Events created for Nodes and Pods. ([#134545](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134545), [@novahe](https://github.com/novahe)) [SIG Cloud Provider, Network, Node, Scalability and Testing]

    * `kubectl create configmap` has a new option `--from-env-file` that populates a configmap from file which follows a key=val format for each line. ([#38882](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/38882), [@fraenkel](https://github.com/fraenkel))

    * `kubectl create secret` has a new option `--from-env-file` that populates a secret from file which follows a key=val format for each line.

  * Printing/describe

- Feature gates CSIMigration to Beta (on by default) and CSIMigrationGCE to Beta (off by default since it requires installation of the GCE PD CSI Driver) ([#85231](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85231),...
