* scheduler: makes pod less racing so as to be put back into activeQ properly ([#73078](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73078), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei))
* jsonpath expressions containing `[start:end:step]` slice are now evaluated correctly ([#73149](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73149), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

controller back-off logic is now decoupled from workqueue. In case of parallelism > 1, if there are multiple new failures in a reconciliation cycle, all the failures are taken into account to compute the back-off. Previously, the back-off kicked in for all types of failures; with this change, only pod failures are taken into account. If the back-off limits exceeds, the job is marked as failed immediately; before this change, the job is marked as failed in the next back-off. ([#114768](https://git...

* The GitRepo volume type is deprecated. To provision a container with a git repo, mount an `EmptyDir` into an `InitContainer` that clones the repo using git, then mount the `EmptyDir` into the Pod's container.
([#63445](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63445), [@ericchiang](https://github.com/ericchiang))

* **[stable]** Add support to use NFSv3, NFSv4, and GlusterFS on GCE/GKE GCI image based clusters.
* **[beta]** Added support for mount options in persistent volumes.
* **[alpha]** All in one volume proposal - a new volume driver capable of projecting secrets, configmaps, and downward API items into the same directory.

### OpenStack

SIG-OpenStack updated the OpenStack provider to use newer APIs, consolidated community code into one repository, engaged with the Cloud Provider Working Group to have a consistent plan for moving provider code into individual repositories, improved testing of provider code, and strengthened ties with the OpenStack developer community.
