- **apiserver_flowcontrol_priority_level_seat_count_watermarks**: histograms of high and low watermarks of number of seats occupied by executing requests (both regular and final-delay phases included), broken down by priority_level.

- On single-stack configured (IPv4 or IPv6, but not both) clusters, Services which are both headless (no clusterIP) and selectorless (empty or undefined selector) will report `ipFamilyPolicy RequireDualStack` and will have entries in `ipFamilies[]` for both IPv4 and IPv6.  This is a change from alpha, but does not have any impact on the manually-specified Endpoints and EndpointSlices for the Service. (...

- Scheduler alpha metrics binding_duration_seconds and scheduling_algorithm_preemption_evaluation_seconds are deprecated, Both of those metrics are now covered as part of framework_extension_point_duration_seconds, the former as a PostFilter the latter and a Bind plugin. The plan is to remove both in 1.21 ([#95001](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95001), [@arghya88](https://github.com/arghya88)) [SIG Instrumentation and Scheduling]

# v1.8.5

- DRA kubelet: gRPC API graduated to v1, v1beta1 was deprecated starting in 1.34. Updating DRA drivers to the `k8s.io/dynamic-resource-allocation/kubeletplugin` helper from 1.34 added support for both API versions.

- [IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/dual-stack) enables the allocation of both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to Pods and Services.
- [API Server Network Proxy](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/blob/master/keps/sig-api-machinery/1281-network-proxy/README.md) going alpha in 1.16.

  an external cloud provider that has been updated to support the feature,
  you can pass comma-separated dual-stack `--node-ips` to `kubelet` and have
  the cloud provider take both IPs into account. ([#120275](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120275), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship))

- Structured logging of NamespacedName was inconsistent with klog.KObj. Now both use lower case field names and namespace is optional. ([#117238](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117238), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery, Architecture and Instrumentation]
