* ConfigMap objects now support binary data via a new `binaryData` field. When using `kubectl create configmap --from-file`, files containing non-UTF8 data will be placed in this new field in order to preserve the non-UTF8 data. Use of this feature requires 1.10+ apiserver and kubelets. ([#57938](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57938), [@dims](https://github.com/dims))
