- Check for newer resize fields when deciding recovery feature's status in kubelet ([#131437](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/131437), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied)) [SIG Storage]
- Disable reading of disk geometry before calling expansion for ext and xfs filesystems ([#131636](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/131636), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied)) [SIG Storage]

- The underlying format of the `CPUManager` state file has changed. Upgrades should be seamless, but any third-party tools that rely on reading the previous format need to be updated.

- Since golang 1.17 both net.ParseIP and net.ParseCIDR rejects leading zeros in the dot-decimal notation of IPv4 addresses,
  Kubernetes will keep allowing leading zeros on IPv4 address to not break the compatibility.
  IMPORTANT: Kubernetes interprets leading zeros on IPv4 addresses as decimal, users must not rely on parser alignment to not being impacted by the associated security advisory:

### API Change

- '`kube-apiserver`: adds `--authentication-config` flag for reading `AuthenticationConfiguration`
  files. `--authentication-config` flag is mutually exclusive with the existing `--oidc-*`

- Fixed file permission issues that happened during update of `Secret`/`ConfigMap`/`projected volume` when `fsGroup` is used. The problem caused a race condition where application gets intermittent permission denied error when reading files that were just updated, before the correct permissions were applied. ([#114464](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114464), [@tsaarni](https://github.com/tsaarni))

CustomResourceDefinitions also have new support for defaulting, with defaults specified using the `default` keyword in the OpenAPI validation schema. Defaults are set for unspecified fields in an object sent to the API, and when reading from etcd.

Defaulting will be available as alpha in Kubernetes 1.15 and requires structural schemas.

#### CustomResourceDefinition OpenAPI Publishing

* Deduplicate PATH items when reading plugins. ([#69089](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/69089), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))

- Disabled reading of disk geometry before calling expansion for ext and xfs filesystems. ([#131568](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/131568), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))

## Changelog since v1.10.1

### Other notable changes

* kubeadm upgrade no longer races leading to unexpected upgrade behavior on pod restarts ([#62655](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62655), [@stealthybox](https://github.com/stealthybox))

- Fixed a bug in attachdetach controller that didn't properly handle kube-apiserver errors leading to stuck attachments/detachments. ([#108167](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108167), [@jfremy](https://github.com/jfremy))
