endpoints passed in the `ClusterConfiguration` that have Unicode characters are no longer IDNA encoded (converted to Punycode). They are now just URL encoded as per Go's implementation of RFC-3986, have duplicate "/" removed from the URL paths, and passed like that directly to the `kube-apiserver` `--etcd-servers` flag. If you have etcd endpoints that have Unicode characters, it is advisable to encode them in advance with tooling that is fully IDNA compliant. If you don't do that, the Go standard...

* GCE Cloud Provider: New created LoadBalancer type Service will have health checks for nodes by default if all nodes have version >= v1.7.2. ([#49330](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/49330), [@MrHohn](https://github.com/MrHohn))

- For volumes that allow attaches across multiple nodes, attach and detach operations across different nodes are now executed in parallel. ([#89240](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89240), [@verult](h...

  - Speed up binpacking by reducing the number of PreFilter calls (call once per pod instead of #pods*#nodes times)
  - Speed up finding unneeded nodes by 5x+ in very large clusters by reducing the number of PreFilter calls
  - Expose `--max-nodes-total` as a metric
  - Errors in `IncreaseSize` changed from type `apiError` to `cloudProviderError`
