- Clients may now request that API objects are converted to the `v1.Table` and `v1.PartialObjectMetadata` forms for generic access to objects. ([#77448](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77448), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))

* Volume expansion is now considered Beta. ([#64288](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64288),...

- The `EndpointSlice` API is now GA. The `EndpointSlice` topology field has been removed from the GA API and will be replaced by a new per Endpoint Zone field. If the topology field was previously used, it will be converted into an annotation in the v1 Resource. The `discovery.k8s.io/v1alpha1` API is removed. ([#99662](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99662), [@swetharepakula](https://github.com/swetharepakula))

- Existing PVs are converted to use volume topology if migration is enabled. ([#83394](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83394), [@bertinatto](https://github.com/bertinatto))

    // Seed the pool with a bad connection.
    assertContent("a", getResponse(newRequest("/")))

    Thread.sleep(500)

    // This connection will need to be recovered. When it is, transparent gzip should still work!
    assertContent("b", getResponse(newRequest("/")))
    assertThat(server.takeRequest().exchangeIndex).isEqualTo(0)
    // Connection is not pooled.

* sample-controller: add example CRD controller ([#52753](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52753), [@munnerz](https://github.com/munnerz))
* RBAC PolicyRules now allow resource=`*/<subresource>` to cover `any-resource/<subresource>`.   For example, `*/scale` covers `replicationcontroller/scale`. ([#53722](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53722), [@deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k))

  - `priority_level_seat_count_watermarks` is removed.
  - `priority_level_request_count_samples` is replaced with `priority_level_request_utilization`, which samples every nanosecond rather than every millisecond; the old metric conveyed utilization despite its name.
