*   You now have the option to use CoreDNS instead of KubeDNS. To install CoreDNS instead of kube-dns, set CLUSTER_DNS_CORE_DNS to 'true'. This support is experimental.

   * Fix confusing logging when initialize server

   * Fix printf in cmd/kube-dns/app/server.go

  // Set DNS policy for the pod.
  // Defaults to "ClusterFirst".
  // Valid values are 'ClusterFirstWithHostNet', 'ClusterFirst', 'Default' or 'None'.
  // DNS parameters given in DNSConfig will be merged with the policy selected with DNSPolicy.
  // To have DNS options set along with hostNetwork, you have to specify DNS policy
  // explicitly to 'ClusterFirstWithHostNet'.
  // +optional

* Update kube-dns to Version 1.14.10. Major changes: ([#62676](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62676), [@MrHohn](https://github.com/MrHohn))
    * - Fix a bug in DNS resolution for externalName services
    * and PTR records that need to query from upstream nameserver.

* Revert [#63905](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63905): Setup dns servers and search domains for Windows Pods. DNS for Windows containers will be set by CNI plugins. ([#66587](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66587), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

### SIG Network

For 1.13, the areas of focus were in IPv6, DNS improvements and some smaller items:
CoreDNS is now the default cluster DNS passing all of the scale/resource usage tests
Node-local DNS cache feature is available in Alpha. This feature deploys a lightweight DNS caching Daemonset that avoids the conntrack and converts queries from UDP to more reliable TCP.
