- Kubectl: Previously users cannot provide arguments to a external diff tool via KUBECTL_EXTERNAL_DIFF env. This release now allow users to specify args to KUBECTL_EXTERNAL_DIFF env. ([#95292](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95292), [@dougsland](https://github.com/dougsland)) [SIG CLI]

* Kubernetes version command line parameter in kubeadm has been updated to drop an unnecessary redirection from ci/latest.txt to ci-cross/latest.txt. Users should know exactly where the builds are stored on Google Cloud storage buckets from now on. For example for 1.9 and 1.10, users can specify ci/latest-1.9 and ci/latest-1.10 as the CI build jobs what build images correctly updates those. The CI jobs for master update the ci-cross/latest location, so if you are...

- It is possible to configure the IDs that the Kubelet uses to create user namespaces.
  
  
  User namespaces support is a Beta feature now. ([#123593](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123593), [@giuseppe](https://github.com/giuseppe)) [SIG Node]

### CSI Migration updates

CSI Migration enables the replacement of existing in-tree storage plugins such as `kubernetes.io/gce-pd` or `kubernetes.io/aws-ebs` with a corresponding CSI driver.
If CSI Migration is working properly, Kubernetes end users shouldn’t notice a difference.

- Adds feature gate `KubeletInUserNamespace` which enables support for running kubelet in a user namespace.
  
  The user namespace has to be created before running kubelet.
  All the node components such as CRI need to be running in the same user namespace.
  

- Kubeadm: graduate the command `kubeadm alpha kubeconfig user` to `kubeadm kubeconfig user`. The `kubeadm alpha kubeconfig user` command is deprecated now. ([#97583](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97583), [@knight42](https://github.com/knight42)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]
