## Changelog since v1.8.10

### Action Required

* ACTION REQUIRED: In-place node upgrades to this release from versions 1.7.14, 1.8.9, and 1.9.4 are not supported if using subpath volumes with PVCs.  Such pods should be drained from the node first. ([#61373](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61373), [@msau42](https://github.com/msau42))

### Other notable changes

SIG Storage promoted the [Kubernetes volume topology feature](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/490) to beta. This enables Kubernetes to understand and act intelligently on volume accessibility information (such as the “zone” a cloud volume is provisioned in, the “rack” that a SAN array is accessible from, and so on).

- Cloud controller manager's node controller now emits timing metrics for initial `Node` synchronization. These metrics measure the delay between the creation of a new `Node` and the node controller's initial management actions, such as removing the cloud provider taint. These metrics should be consulted when setting cloud controller manager's `--concurrent-node-syncs` flag.

  The API Server will no longer proxy non-101 responses for upgrade requests. This could break proxied backends (such as an extension API server) that respond to upgrade requests with a non-101 response code.
