really, you MUST read this before you upgrade)

- Kube-proxy's IPVS proxy mode no longer sets the net.ipv4.conf.all.route_localnet sysctl parameter. Nodes upgrading will have net.ipv4.conf.all.route_localnet set to 1 but new nodes will inherit the system default (usually 0). If you relied on any behavior requiring net.ipv4.conf.all.route_localnet, you must set ensure it is enabled as kube-proxy will no longer set it automatically. This change helps to further mitigate CVE-2020-8558. ([...

* Mark image as deliberately optional in v1 Container struct.  Many objects in the Kubernetes API inherit the container struct and only Pods require the field to be set. ([#48406](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48406), [@gyliu513](https://github.com/gyliu513))

* The kubelet uses a new release 3.1 of the pause container with the Docker runtime. This version will clean up orphaned zombie processes that it inherits. ([#57517](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57517), [@verb](https://github.com/verb))

* `--show-all`, which only affected pods, and even then only for human readable/non-API printers, is inert in v1.11, and will be removed in a future release. ([#60793](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60793), [@charrywanganthony](https://github.com/charrywanganthony))
