- Kubeadm: add support for certificate chain validation. When using kubeadm in external CA mode, this allows an intermediate CA to be used to sign the certificates. The intermediate CA certificate must be appended to each signed certificate for this to work correctly. ([#97266](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97266), [@robbiemcmichael](https://github.com/robbiemcmichael)) [SIG Cluster...

- Client-go certificate manager rotation gained the ability to preserve optional intermediate chains accompanying issued certificates ([#88744](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88744), [@jackkleeman](https://github.com/jackkleeman)) [SIG API Machinery and Auth]

- Kubeadm: during the validation of existing kubeconfig files on disk, handle cases where the "ca.crt" is a bundle and has intermediate certificates. Find a common trust anchor between the "ca.crt" bundle and the CA in the existing kubeconfig on disk instead of treating "ca.crt" as a file containing a single CA.

For instance, some architectures provide a "fused multiply and add" (FMA) instruction
that computes <code>x*y + z</code> without rounding the intermediate result <code>x*y</code>.
These examples show when a Go implementation can use that instruction:

// FMA allowed for computing r, because x*y is not explicitly rounded:
r  = x*y + z

  * [stable] [containerd](https://github.com/containerd/containerd): containerd v1.1 natively supports CRI v1alpha2 now, so users can use Kubernetes v1.10 with containerd v1.1 directly, without having to use the intermediate cri-containerd daemon. [All Kubernetes 1.10 tests passed](https://k8s-testgrid.appspot.com/sig-node-containerd). [@Random-Liu]

The Kubelet now supports the CRI `v1` API, which is now the project-wide default.
If a container runtime does not support the `v1` API, Kubernetes will fall back to the `v1alpha2` implementation.
There is no intermediate action required by end-users, because `v1` and `v1alpha2` do not differ in their implementation.
It is likely that `v1alpha2` will be removed in one of the future Kubernetes releases to be able to develop `v1`.
