- External credential provider plugins will now have their standard error output logged by kubelet upon failures. ([#117448](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117448), [@cartermckinnon](https://github.com/cartermckinnon))
- Faster scheduling when `ResourceClaims` are involved. ([#119078](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119078), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))

- ReplicaSets and Deployments should always count `.status.availableReplicas` at the correct time without a delay. This results in faster reconciliation of Deployment conditions and faster, unblocked Deployment rollouts. ([#132121](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132121), [@atiratree](https://github.com/atiratree)) [SIG Apps]

Major features for stateful applications include automated updates to StatefulSets, enhanced updates for DaemonSets, a burst mode for faster StatefulSets scaling, and (alpha) support for local storage.

      * The standard `bridge` plugin have been validated to interoperate with
         the new CRI + CNI code path.
      * If you are using plugins other than `bridge`, make sure you have
        updated custom plugins to the latest version that is compatible.
* **CNI plugins now affect node readiness**
  * Kubelet will now block node readiness until a CNI configuration file is
    present in `/etc/cni/net.d` or a given custom CNI configuration path.

- Pod status updates faster when reacting on probe results. The first readiness probe will be called faster when startup probes succeeded, which will make Pod status as ready faster. ([#98376](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98376), [@matthyx](https://github.com/matthyx))

    * Custom apiservers built with the latest apiserver library will have the 100MB limit on the body of resource requests as well. The limit can be altered via ServerRunOptions.MaxRequestBodyBytes.

  - apiserver_flowcontrol_current_r: R(the time of the last change in state of the queues)
  - apiserver_flowcontrol_dispatch_r: R(the time of the latest request dispatch)
  - apiserver_flowcontrol_latest_s: S(the request last dispatched) = R(when that request starts executing in the virtual world)
  - apiserver_flowcontrol_next_s_bounds: min and max next S among non-empty queues

* - kubeadm now supports "ci/latest-1.8" or "ci-cross/latest-1.8" and similar labels. ([#49119](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/49119), [@kad](https://github.com/kad))
