 - `timeoutSeconds` — a seconds API server should wait for a hook to respond before treating the call as a failure. See [timeouts][timeouts]. Default is 10 (seconds).
 
+- `matchConditions` — an optional list of [match conditions][match-conditions] for fine-grained request filtering. Available only since v1.27 of Kubernetes. 
+
 As you can see, it is the close copy of a [Webhook configuration][webhook-configuration]. Differences are:
 - `objectSelector` is a `labelSelector` as in the `kubernetes` binding.
 - `namespaceSelector` is a `namespace.labelSelector` as in the `kubernetes` binding.
