* scheduler: makes pod less racing so as to be put back into activeQ properly ([#73078](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73078), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei))
* jsonpath expressions containing `[start:end:step]` slice are now evaluated correctly ([#73149](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73149), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

* The GitRepo volume type is deprecated. To provision a container with a git repo, mount an `EmptyDir` into an `InitContainer` that clones the repo using git, then mount the `EmptyDir` into the Pod's container.
([#63445](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63445), [@ericchiang](https://github.com/ericchiang))

* **[stable]** Add support to use NFSv3, NFSv4, and GlusterFS on GCE/GKE GCI image based clusters.
* **[beta]** Added support for mount options in persistent volumes.
* **[alpha]** All in one volume proposal - a new volume driver capable of projecting secrets, configmaps, and downward API items into the same directory.

## Deprecations

*   Pod preemption has been improved.
    *   Now takes PodDisruptionBudget into account. ([#56178](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56178),[ @bsalamat](https://github.com/bsalamat))

controller back-off logic is now decoupled from workqueue. In case of parallelism > 1, if there are multiple new failures in a reconciliation cycle, all the failures are taken into account to compute the back-off. Previously, the back-off kicked in for all types of failures; with this change, only pod failures are taken into account. If the back-off limits exceeds, the job is marked as failed immediately; before this change, the job is marked as failed in the next back-off. ([#114768](https://git...

### OpenStack

SIG-OpenStack updated the OpenStack provider to use newer APIs, consolidated community code into one repository, engaged with the Cloud Provider Working Group to have a consistent plan for moving provider code into individual repositories, improved testing of provider code, and strengthened ties with the OpenStack developer community.

carriage returns (U+000D), and newlines (U+000A),
is ignored except as it separates tokens
that would otherwise combine into a single token. Also, a newline or end of file
may trigger the insertion of a <a href="#Semicolons">semicolon</a>.
While breaking the input into tokens,
the next token is the longest sequence of characters that form a
valid token.

Here is a list of some of the changes that have been made to kubeadm:

- Kubeadm internal config has been promoted to `v1alpha3`:
  - `v1alpha1` has been removed.
  - `v1alpha3` has split apart `MasterConfiguration` into separate components; `InitConfiguration`, `ClusterConfiguration`, `JoinConfiguration`, `KubeletConfiguration`, and `KubeProxyConfiguration`
  - Different configuration types can be supplied all in the same file separated by `---`.

  - The schema for the alpha `CSINodeInfo` CRD has been split into `spec` and `status` fields, and new fields `status.available` and `status.volumePluginMechanism` added. Clusters using the previous alpha schema must delete and recreate the CRD using the new schema. ([#70515](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70515),...
