- Fixed a regression preventing garbage collection of RBAC role and binding objects ([#90534](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/90534), [@apelisse](https://github.com/apelisse)) [SIG Auth]

- Clear pod binding cache on bind error to make sure stale pod binding cache will not be used. ([#71212](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71212), [@cofyc](https://github.com/cofyc))

* Add generic NoSchedule toleration to fluentd in gcp config. ([#48182](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48182), [@gmarek](https://github.com/gmarek))
* RBAC role and role-binding reconciliation now ensures namespaces exist when reconciling on startup. ([#48480](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48480), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

* fix: make azure disk URI as case insensitive ([#79020](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/79020), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* Fixed binding of block PersistentVolumes / PersistentVolumeClaims when BlockVolume feature is off. ([#84049](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/84049), [@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane))

* Change `kubeadm create token` to default to the group that almost everyone will want to use.  The group is system:bootstrappers:kubeadm:default-node-token and is the group that kubeadm sets up, via an RBAC binding, for auto-approval (system:certificates.k8s.io:certificatesigningrequests:nodeclient). ([#53512](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53512), [@jbeda](https://github.com/jbeda))

- Fixed a log line in scheduler that inaccurately implies that volume binding has finalized ([#116018](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116018), [@TommyStarK](https://github.com/TommyStarK))

- Automatically copy `topology.k8s.io/zone`, `topology.k8s.io/region` and `kubernetes.io/hostname` labels from Node objects to Pods when they are scheduled to a node (via the `pods/binding` endpoint) to allow applications that need to be explicitly aware of their assigned node topology to access this information via the downward API, rather than requiring permission to `get node` objects (exposing the entire API surface of the Node...

* Fixes issue where an apiserver on 1.9 and controller-manager on 1.10 can cause volume provisioning and binding to fail. ([#71286](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71286), [@msau42](https://github.com/msau42))

  * Marking a StorageClass as default makes it so that even a PersistentVolumeClaim without a StorageClass specified will trigger dynamic provisioning (instead of binding to an existing pool of PVs).
  * If you depend on the old behavior of volumes binding to existing pool of PersistentVolume objects then modify the StorageClass object and set `storageclass.beta.kubernetes.io/is-default-class` to `false`.
