- Added `client-go` support for upgrading subresource fields from client-side to server-side management. ([#123484](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123484), [@erikgb](https://github.com/erikgb))
- Added `exec-interactive-mode` and `exec-provide-cluster-info` flags in kubectl config set-credentials command. ([#122023](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122023), [@ardaguclu](https://github.com/ardaguclu))

  Skip standalone VM when reconciling LoadBalancer ([#97635](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97635), [@nilo19](https://github.com/nilo19)) [SIG Cloud Provider]
- Using exec auth plugins with kubectl no longer results in warnings about constructing many client instances from the same exec auth config. ([#97857](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97857), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery and Auth]

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- "Removed the ability to run `kubectl exec [POD] [COMMAND]` without a `--` separator.
  The `--` separator has been recommended since the Kubernetes v1.18 release, which also deprecated the legacy way of invoking `kubectl exec`.
