## Changes by Kind

### Deprecation

- Kubectl/drain: add disable-eviction option.Force drain to use delete, even if eviction is supported. This will bypass checking PodDisruptionBudgets, and should be used with caution. ([#85571](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85571), [@michaelgugino](https://github.com/michaelgugino)) [SIG CLI]

### Node Components
* **Kubelet with the Docker-CRI implementation**
  * The Docker-CRI implementation is enabled by default.
  * It is not compatible with containers created by older Kubelets. It is
    recommended to drain your node before upgrade. If you choose to perform
    an in-place upgrade, the Kubelet will automatically restart all
    Kubernetes-managed containers on the node.

- Added `kubectl node drain` helper callbacks `OnPodDeletionOrEvictionStarted`
  and `OnPodDeletionOrEvictionFailed`; people extending `kubectl` can use these
  new callbacks for more granularity. Deprecated the `OnPodDeletedOrEvicted`

- kubectl: support multiple arguments for cordon/uncordon and drain ([#68655](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/68655), [@goodluckbot](https://github.com/goodluckbot))

- The new flag `--chunk-size=SIZE` for `kubectl drain` has been promoted to beta, and enabled by default. This flag  may be used to alter the number of items or disable this feature when `0` is passed. ([#100148](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100148), [@KnVerey](https://github.com/KnVerey))...

* New kubeDNS image fixes an issue where SRV records were incorrectly being compressed. Added manifest file for multiple arch images. ([#68430](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/68430), [@prameshj](https://github.com/prameshj))
* Drain should delete terminal pods. ([#68767](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/68767), [@ravisantoshgudimetla](https://github.com/ravisantoshgudimetla))



# v1.12.0-rc.1

*   Added --dry-run option to kubectl drain. ([#52440](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52440),[ @juanvallejo](https://github.com/juanvallejo))

- Fixed a bug where `kubectl` drain would consider a pod as having been deleted if an error occurs while calling the API. ([#122574](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122574), [@brianpursley](https://github.com/brianpursley))

- Fixes code generation for non-namespaced create subresources fake client test. ([#96586](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96586), [@Doude](https://github.com/Doude)) [SIG API Machinery]
- Fixes high CPU usage in kubectl drain ([#95260](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95260), [@amandahla](https://github.com/amandahla)) [SIG CLI]
