- DRA: when the scheduler had to deallocate a claim after a node became unsuitable for a pod, it might have needed more attempts than really necessary. This was fixed by first disabling allocations.

protobuf/etcd3 switch, and any changes since the backup will be lost.  As 1.5
does not support protobuf encoding, if you roll back to 1.5 after upgrading to
protobuf you will be forced to restore from backup, and you will lose any changes
since you converted to protobuf.  After conversion to protobuf, you should
validate the correct operation of your cluster thoroughly before returning it
to normal operation.

- Fixed a bug where startupProbe stopped working after a container's first restart ([#101093](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101093), [@wzshiming](https://github.com/wzshiming)) [SIG Node]

- Fix OpenAPI v3 not being cleaned up after deleting APIServices ([#120108](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120108), [@tnqn](https://github.com/tnqn)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]

- K8s.io/client-go/tools/record.EventBroadcaster: after Shutdown() is called, the broadcaster now gives up immediately after a failure to write an event to a sink. Previously it tried multiple times for 12 seconds in a goroutine. ([#115514](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115514), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API...

* Add a way to pass extra arguments to etcd. ([#63961](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63961), [@mborsz](https://github.com/mborsz))
* kubelet: fix hangs in updating Node status after network interruptions/changes between the kubelet and API server ([#63492](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63492), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))



# v1.8.13

* Kubelet will now set extended resource capacity to zero after it restarts. If the extended resource is exported by a device plugin, its capacity will change to a valid value after the device plugin re-connects with the Kubelet. If the extended resource is exported by an external component through direct node status capacity patching, the component should repatch the field after kubelet becomes ready again. During the time gap, pods previously assigned with such resources...

regression that could incorrectly reject pods with OutOfCpu errors if they were rapidly scheduled after other pods were reported as complete in the API. The Kubelet now waits to report the phase of a pod as terminal in the API until all running containers are guaranteed to have stopped and no new containers can be started.  Short-lived pods may take slightly longer (~1s) to report Succeeded or Failed after this change. ([#108749](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108749), [@bobbypage](ht...
