- Made `apiextensions-apiserver` binary linking static (also affects the deb and rpm packages). ([#114226](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114226), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert))

#### **Cloud Provider Integration**

*   Added `cloud-controller-manager` to `hyperkube`. This is useful as a number of deployment tools run all of the kubernetes components from the `hyperkube `image/binary. It also makes testing easier as a single binary/image can be built and pushed quickly.  ([#54197](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54197),[ @colemickens](https://github.com/colemickens))

    * enforces  kubeadm  upgrading kubernetes from the same major and minor versions as the kubeadm binary.
* Bugfix allowing use of IP-aliases with custom-mode network in GCE setup scripts. ([#62172](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62172), [@shyamjvs](https://github.com/shyamjvs))

- `kubectl exec` and `kubectl attach` now honor the `--quiet` flag which suppresses output from the local binary that could be confused by a script with the remote command output (all non-failure output is hidden). In addition, print inline with exec and attach the list of alternate containers when we default to the first spec.container. ([#99004](https://g...

* Fix hyperkube kubelet --experimental-dockershim ([#55250](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55250), [@ivan4th](https://github.com/ivan4th))
* ScaleIO driver completely removes dependency on drv_cfg binary so a Kubernetes cluster can easily run a containerized kubelet. ([#54956](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54956), [@vladimirvivien](https://github.com/vladimirvivien))



# v1.8.3

- Make EBS volume expansion faster ([#66728](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66728), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))
- Remove unused binary and container image for kube-aggregator. The functionality is already integrated into the kube-apiserver. ([#67157](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67157), [@dims](https://github.com/dims))

### Release
- Added the `crictl` Windows binaries as well as the Linux 32bit binary to the release archives ([#83944](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83944), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert))

* kubelet's `--cni-bin-dir` option now accepts multiple comma-separated CNI binary directory paths, which are searched for CNI plugins in the given order. ([#58714](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58714), [@dcbw](https://github.com/dcbw))
