### **Node**

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. ([#92938]...

- API
  - Ingress resources will no longer be served from `extensions/v1beta1` in v1.19. Migrate use to the `networking.k8s.io/v1beta1` API, available since v1.14. Existing persisted data can be retrieved via the `networking.k8s.io/v1beta1` API.

  - Ingress resources will no longer be served from `extensions/v1beta1` in v1.20. Migrate use to the `networking.k8s.io/v1beta1` API, available since v1.14. Existing persisted data can be retrieved via the `networking.k8s.io/v1beta1` API.

- CEL cost estimator no longer treats enums as unbounded strings when determining its length. Instead, the length is set to the longest possible enum value. ([#121085](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121085), [@jiahuif](https://github.com/jiahuif)) [SIG API Machinery]

- `kubectl delete` no longer scales down workload API objects before deletion.
  Users who depend on ordered termination for the Pods of their StatefulSets
  must use `kubectl scale` to scale down the StatefulSet before deletion.

- `kubectl run --env` no longer supports CSV parsing. To provide multiple environment

* When using client or server certificate rotation, the Kubelet will no longer wait until the initial rotation succeeds or fails before starting static pods.  This makes running self-hosted masters with rotation more predictable. ([#58930](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58930), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))

- `Kubectl set resources` will no longer return an error if passed an empty change for a resource. `kubectl set subject` will no longer return an error if passed an empty change for a resource.
