- If all QueueingHintFn return QueueSkip, it puts this pod back to the unschedulable pod pool
  
  Having appropriate QueueingHintFn contributes to reducing useless retries and thus improves the overall scheduler's performance.
  
  **How can I migrate?**
  

`wait.Poll*` and `wait.ExponentialBackoff*` functions have been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.  Callers should switch to using `wait.PollUntilContextCancel`, `wait.PollUntilContextTimeout`, or `wait.ExponentialBackoffWithContext` as appropriate.
  
  `PollWithContext(Cancel|Deadline)` will no longer return `ErrWaitTimeout` - use the `Interrupted(error) bool` helper to replace checks for `err == ErrWaitTimeout`, or compare specifically to context errors as needed. A future release...

* If a non-absolute mountPath is passed to the kubelet, prefix it with the appropriate root path. ([#55665](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55665), [@brendandburns](https://github.com/brendandburns))

## External Dependencies

- Added to `MutableFeatureGate` the ability to override the default setting of feature...

- Windows worker nodes in a Kubernetes cluster now support Windows Server version 1903 in addition to the existing support for Windows Server 2019
- The RuntimeClass scheduler can now simplify steering Linux or Windows pods to appropriate nodes
- All Windows nodes now get the new label `node.kubernetes.io/windows-build` that reflects the Windows major, minor, and build number that are needed to match compatibility between Windows containers and Windows worker nodes.

- Shell completion now shows plugin names when appropriate. Furthermore, shell completion will work for plugins that provide such support. ([#105867](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105867), [@marckhouzam](https://github.com/marckhouzam))

## **External Dependency Version Information**

Continuous integration builds have used the following versions of external dependencies, however, this is not a strong recommendation and users should consult an appropriate installation or upgrade guide before deciding what versions of etcd, docker or rkt to use.

* Docker versions 1.10.3, 1.11.2, 1.12.6 have been validated

    * Docker version 1.12.6 known issues

- Kubeadm: avoid panicing if the user has malformed the kubeconfig in the cluster-info config map to not include a valid current context. Include proper validation at the appropriate locations and throw errors instead.
